Everything you need to know about preserving eggs the easy way

While Heidi was out of town our shared chickens were busy ladies and laid Heidi an overabundance of eggs. Here, I show Heidi how to water glass eggs for her first time. It is such an easy and simple way to preserve eggs.
Just a few tips:
1. Use farm fresh eggs only, that have not been washed. No store bought eggs because they have been previously washed and therefore the protected bloom has been removed.
2. No poop or muddy eggs.
3. Use Mrs. Wages Pickling Lime, it's a green bag about $6 each bag for 16 oz of pickling lime.
4. Use plastic or solid colored bowls as the pickling lime can scuff up your clear glass bowls.
5. I also reuse the same jars for water glassing eggs, knowing the lime scuffs up the jars, I won't use those particular jars for canning anymore, but for water glassing only. I have several 1/2 gallon jars I have used but my favorite is old Primal Kitchen mayonnaise jars for water glassing, I can generally fit 8-10 eggs in 1 jar, and the lid is reusable as well. I'm recycling but also not using any of my canning specific jars.
6. Make sure all eggs are completely submerged in the pickling lime solution. No eggs should be above the water level.
7. Water glassing eggs can preserve eggs for 12-18 months, I have read they can last longer but I suggest start using them within that 12 month point to be safe.

To water glass a 1/2 gallon jar full of eggs (will hold approximately 20 eggs):
1/2 gallon jar
1 quart of water
1 oz of pickling lime
20 eggs
