Water Glassed Eggs - How to Preserve Raw Eggs

This is a basic recipe for water glassed eggs which allows you to preserve fresh, unwashed eggs raw. I use a half gallon Mason jar for the demonstration and manage to fit 16 eggs in the jar.

Equipment

  • 1 Kitchen scale
  • 1 Container with lid

Ingredients
  

  • 16 Fresh, Unwashed Eggs
  • 1 Oz Pickling Lime (Calcium Hydroxide)
  • 1 Quart Water

Instructions
 

  • Select an appropriate container. For the video demonstration I used a half gallon Mason jar. You can use a crock or even a plastic bucket with a lid.
  • Place fresh, UNWASHED eggs in the container. The eggs must be unwashed and clean (no noticeable dirt or grime attached) and devoid of cracks.

  • Using a kitchen scale, measure out 1 ounce of pickling lime. Add it to the 1 quart of water and stir to mix. Pour the solution over the eggs until they are completely submerged.

  • Store the sealed container in a preferably dark space. These last me until the next year and I use them in all of my recipes (pancakes, cornbread, etc.) where truly fresh eggs aren’t necessary.
