Preserving food for the long term is a survival skill that has been honed through challenging times. One incredible method is storing eggs in a way that keeps them fresh for up to 2 years! This method, passed down through generations, involves canning eggs in a jar, ensuring they remain edible and nutritious for emergencies or when fresh eggs aren’t available.
How to Preserve Eggs in a Jar
What You’ll Need
Fresh, unwashed eggs (preferably with intact shells)
Food-grade pickling lime (calcium hydroxide)
Water
A large glass jar or container with a lid
Steps to Preserve Eggs
Choose the Right Eggs:
Use farm-fresh eggs with unwashed, intact shells. The natural bloom on the shell acts as a barrier against bacteria.
Prepare the Lime Solution:
Mix 1 part pickling lime with 4 parts water. For example, 1 cup of lime to 4 cups of water. Stir until the lime is dissolved.
Place Eggs in the Jar:
Carefully place the eggs into the jar or container. Ensure they are not cracked or damaged.
Pour the Lime Solution Over the Eggs:
Pour the prepared lime water into the jar, ensuring all the eggs are fully submerged.
