Pickled Eggs

Well the clue is in the title.
have just made a big jar of pickled eggs, 'cos we have a glut at the moment.

Which got me to thinking...instead of vinegar could you use 40% neutral?

Simples, it is spring and all the chucks are laying lots.
We currently have far more duck eggs than we can eat.

Alcoholic, really pickled eggs, does intrigue me.
Mash, I salute you for thinking outside of the box.

Alcohol will act as a preservative, but you will miss out on the flavour the pickling will impart. Maybe fresh layed taste will appeal to some.

You cant beat a pickled egg and a good pint of beer.

If it was Apples we would call it scrumping, I admit to accidental egg scrumping of various wild duck and gulls eggs.
To be honest, city lake eggs are off putting, ducks fed on Burger and Subway throw-aways, and let's face it, vomit and other city nastie's do not have the same appeal.
I know our own free range birdies eat all sorts of shit,Dead frogs, Mice ,just about anything.
But I know where this shit originates.
Quite a long way from the nearest city.

Hi Mash. I must admit a bit of envy, ducks and chickens are on my to do list when I retire.

You can cook eggs with alcohol and no heat so I am not sure about the long term storage idea. The alcohol would probably get through the shell and solidify the white.

Whilst I am not that keen on it myself another option is eggnog. It has been demonstrated that the alcohol will render the mixture sterile over time.

I like the idea of eggnog. There is one that is like a butter, but I failed to replicate it. Gorgeous!
There is thread around here somewhere...

Ducks are good eating, but poor layers and very very dirty animals. Find the slightest puddle and then stamp around in it till they make a swamp. Have done ducks, wouldn't do again.

The wife prefers the duck eggs for baking. They make better cakes.
