Best 4 Hot Pickled Quail Eggs Recipes

CAJUN PICKLED QUAIL EGGS

Steps:

• 1. Soak fresh eggs in warm water to remove any dirt and other stuff on the outer shells. Drain and rinse well then soak in cold water to make sure all residue is removed from the shells.
• 2. Boil eggs for 8 minutes and remove from heat. Drain boiling water and replace it with cold water. When water starts to get warm from the hot eggs, drain the water and replace with cold again. Do this several times to cool down the eggs. You can put the eggs in ice water if desired.
• 3. If you try to peel the eggs like a regular sized egg, you're going to lose a lot of eggs because the white tears so easily.
• 4. Put the eggs back into the pot that you boiled them in. (Don't do this in an aluminum pot! Use a glass, plastic, or stainless bowl.) Cover the eggs with white vinegar and let soak at least 10-12 hours or over night. The longer the better. The "spots" from the eggs will float to the surface and the shells will become soft and rubbery, making them super easy to peel. (See Notes Below)
• 5. In sterile jars put 1 garlic toe and 1 hot pepper in each jar then pack jars with eggs, about 12-13 eggs per 1/2 pint jar, depending on size of eggs. Set aside.
• 6. In water bath canning pot bring 6 inches of water to a boil.
• 7. Meanwhile, in a 2 quart saucepan add the remaining ingredients. Bring to a low boil. Cook for 3 minutes. Pour hot brine over eggs to completely cover.
• 8. Wipe rims well and place lids and bands on each jar, sealing tightly. Place jars in boiling water and make sure jars are covered by at least 1 inch. Bring back to a boil and boil 15 minutes.
• 9. Remove jars and let cool. Any jars that don't seal should be refrigerated and eaten first. Let sit for at least 2-3 weeks or more for best flavor.
• 10. NOTES: If you use regular salt instead of pickling salt the garlic will turn a bluish-green color. Food color (red or green), or beet juice may be added if desired.

• Meanwhile, in an enameled saucepan bring remaining ingredients to a boil. Remove from heat and allow to steep for at least 2 hours. Pour over eggs and wipe rim of jars clean with a damp towel. Place lids on the jars and screw on band tops. Process jars in a hot water bath for 10 minutes. Remove from the hot water and set aside to cool. Jars should seal as they cool. Any jars that do not seal properly should be refrigerated and consumed within 2 weeks.
• Allow properly sealed jars to sit at least 2 weeks before eating.

PICKLED QUAIL EGGS RECIPE - (3.8/5)

Steps:

• First thing you need to do is check for cracked eggs. Then soak your eggs in warm water for a few minutes and clean. Place eggs in a pan, cover with cold water, at least 1 inch above the eggs. Bring water to a rolling boil before removing from heat. Allow eggs to stand in hot water for 10 minutes. Gently stir them occasionally to prevent the yolk from settling to one side. Drain water and cover eggs with white vinegar, at least 1 inch above the eggs. Stir the eggs every few hours. After 12 hours the shells should have dissolved in the vinegar leaving the membrane on the egg. Rinse the eggs thoroughly and peel them. Then rinse them again and place them in a 1-quart canning jar. Place pickling ingredients in a pan and simmer for 15 minutes. Pour the pickling liquid into the quart jar, completely covering the eggs. When the eggs and mixture have cooled, cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours.
