Homeschooling, ham radio operating, homesteading, pagan family on a 1/2 acre in North Central Illinois. Fitting in writing a novel somewhere in there as well.

We can use rain so badly! It’s close so hoping it comes up by us #grownostr

I would definitely be touching grass if I wore those because I would be falling down πŸ˜‚ beautiful though!

Novel rewrite starts today #writingcommunity #grownostr

It’s not just plain water. The pickling lime ( sodium silicate ) added to the water is what helps seal them as well. You can definitely freeze eggs. I’ve seen people crack them into ice trays and use them that way. I don’t do that a lot since freezer space is limited.

From what I have read refrigerated store bought eggs don’t work with this. I believe some have tried but it’s not for me.

The nice this is you can add eggs over time. This isn’t canned or sealed you can open it and take one egg out and close it up again. The lime works with sealing the bloom some how so as long as they stay submerged they will stay fresh.

This is pickling lime

Yes plain water with pickling lime added to it. I keep the jars in the basement to use over the winter when the chickens aren’t laying as much. The whites got a little thinner but still made perfect over easy eggs

Pickling lime! 1oz of lime to 1 quart of water over farm fresh clean, non refrigerated eggs

They preserve in shell for 12-18 months and are still fresh to pan fry

Adding more eggs to the waterglass jar #homestead #grownostr
