Yes we are buried under pullet and quail eggs and yes here is still another recipe for pickled quail eggs. Like all other sequels it might be redundant, but have had a lot of requests and you gotta do what you gotta do. It follows. Got our facebook page set up and it is coming along nicely, however I can see that it can be quite a black hole where all of your time can go into with very little effort. It is still fun and have found lots of friends and a few fans. Great for networking. It would be a great project for the winter months when there is not too much else going on here.

Pickled Quail Eggs 3 the final sequel.

SWEET AND SOUR EGGS

1 3/4 cups of apple cider

1/2 cup cider vinegar 12 oz. red cinnamon candy (like the little red cinnamon hearts)

1 tablespoon mixed pickling spices 2 teaspoons Kosher or pickling salt (the course kind)

 1 teaspoon garlic salt

Hard boil 24 eggs and cool. Peel the eggs. Heat all of the pickling ingredients to a boil. Simmer for 15 minutes. Cool. Pack eggs into a glass jar and pour pickling liquid over the top. Let sit for two days before eating. These will keep in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks. They are yummy.

I made a batch of pickled quail eggs last week and my husband decided to share them with some friends at work. Our friend requested this recipe, so here it is. This will work with hard-boiled chicken eggs as well. These are a dilled pickled egg. Quail eggs have soft outer shells with tough inner membranes. They can be peeled like a chicken egg, but it is easier to soak them in vinegar overnight rendering the shells rubbery. They are super easy to peel this way.  

Pickling Ingredients:

36 boiled quail eggs, 1 1/2 cup vinegar, 2 cups vinegar for soaking. 1 cup water, 1 teaspoon dried dill, 1/4 teaspoon white pepper, 3 teaspoons salt, 1/4 teaspoon mustard seed, 2Tbl. minced onion, 1 clove minced garlic. For spicy pickled quail eggs add 1/2 teaspoon of dried red pepper or any liquid Hot Sauce. For extra spicy flavor add more red pepper, a  chopped habanero pepper, or hot sauce.
