Pickled Eggs

[BGKYSmoker]

My eggs are fresh, most within the past week. Wash clean the eggs.
Put the eggs in your pan, fill with water about 2" above eggs, take eggs out and put the pan on the stove, broil to a full broil then place the fresh room temp eggs into the broiling water, Broil between 12-15 min. Take eggs out and put in a container of ice or cold water for 20 mins. When you take the cold HB egg out turn it over and take the back of your spoon and tap the larger bottom of the egg, it will pop then peel the eggs.

Dont add anything to the water when you start the broil

I just got 4dz fresh local quail eggs.
Time to smoke some quail eggs for pickling.
I just made a $10 donation to their farm for the 4dz.

Quail eggs hard broiled.

All shelled, only had 4 that I didnt like for the pickling, pup scarfed em up.

My parents had a small chicken farm, when she had eggs that she count get the membrane off she put the shelled eggs back in the hot water and the membranes came right off.

Rcked and ready for cold apple smoke. Pickling all the eggs.

Eggs and quail eggs done smoke.

Daughter brought these pickled garlic bulbs from Thailand.

Whole bulb in a jar, eat the whole bulb, not bad.

This thread had my mouth watering so we pickled a dozen last Sunday and I ordered a jar of McCormick pickling spices to play with and it came in today.

The problem with it there were HUNDREDS of cloves in it and of all the things in the world I did not expect was a couple of hundred cloves... I can't stand cloves!!! :-)

So I painstakingly removed them all and put a coffee filter full of rice closed up in it to absorb some stench and hopefully it will salvage the spices.

I rarely buy any spice mix. I usually have all the ingredients on hand to make my own and avoid the adds of something I don't want in a commercial mix which is mostly salt.
Here's a quick search for pickling spice recipe:

2 tablespoons whole mustard seeds
1 tablespoon whole allspice berries
2 teaspoons whole coriander seeds
1 teaspoon red pepper flakes, or more to taste
1 teaspoon ground ginger
2 bay leaves, crumbled
2 cinnamon sticks, broken in half
6 whole cloves

Don't have everything here in FL, but I do in MN.
The other benefit to making your own mix is pan toasting the whole spice ingredients to bring out a richer flavor.

I just made another batch this morning. I reused the brine from the previous batch.

 

[HalfSmoked]

Whoa wow not sure reusing the old brine is a good safety idea.

I read quite a bit on re-using brine, it seems to be a common practice. I'll reuse it only once though.

 

[KBFlyer]

Brine is cheap, no need to reuse it.
