Title: Pickled quail eggs recipe, anyone?
Post by: jackelope on April 21, 2022, 07:44:33 AM: Anyone have a proven recipe for pickled quail eggs? Maybe a little spicy but not overpowering? I've got 10 dozen quail eggs I need to do something with :chuckle:

I cut fresh jalapeño and stack layers of onion, jalapeño whole garlic cloves and put the lid on hot.

I didn't pay no where near that, maybe you should make your own base.

Cheap 5% vinegar mix with water 50/50, add salt and sugar boil it

I used straight 5% once, yuck. Don't do that.

Could also do a hot pot and use them in that (which I like) I need to come buy 2 dozen from you anyway as I'm gonna hot pot soon (I actually broke down and bought a hotpot pan too.

You can have 4 dozen :chuckle:
I told the kid to take them all last week, but I realized we were out of cartons. He left them all there. I've got tupperware bowls full of them now.

A good base brine is two quarts of water, two quarts of 5% vinegar, 3/4 cup canning salt and 1/2 cup of sugar. Boil it to dissolve the salt and sugar and pour it over the eggs and whatever else you put in the jar - I liked a lot of jalapeno slices, pearl onions and garlic cloves.
