How to Keep Eggs Fresh for a Year with Isinglass
https://www.askaprepper.com/keep-eggs-fresh-year-isinglass/

Post a reply How-to-Keeps-Eggs-Fresh-for-an-Year-with-Isinglass-890x395_c There are many ways of preserving eggs when you’re fortunate enough to have a glut of them, but by and large, each one has its shortcomings.

Pickling eggs when all your girls are laying in the summer gives tasty and reliable results, but the eggs are cooked and the strong pickled flavour isn’t ideal for lots of dishes.

So how to preserve fresh, raw eggs?

An old method of preserving that might have fallen out of favor, but will be fondly recalled by many, is preserving eggs in isinglass. Extracted from the dried swim bladders of fish, isinglass is a form of collagen. With a long history of being used as a fining in wine making to clarify a brew; this natural substance coddles fresh eggs in a jello-like suspension to give a shelf life of up to a year. ---CONTINUED---

How To Pickle Eggs
https://www.backdoorsurvival.com/pickle-eggs/

Pickling Foods 91908906_319658095673302_30805180484157440_n-scaled-500x250 (SNIP) Please note that pickled eggs do need to be refrigerated for food safety reasons. They are best when consumed within 4 months of pickling according to the Institute For Home Canning. I think 4 months is pretty great personally. That gives you a lot more time to eat on those eggs rather than letting them go bad. ---CONTINUED---

How to Preserve Eggs with Waterglass

(BIG SNIP) ... Waterglass, which can also be listed as “water glass” or “water-glass”, is a sodium silicate solution. It comes in the form of powder, solid, or liquid, and can be found online or in some specialty shops.

30+ Ways to Preserve Eggs
https://practicalselfreliance.com/ways-to-preserve-eggs/

While you wouldn’t know it looking at the grocery store shelves, egg production is seasonal. Preserving eggs was essential back before grocery stores were the source of all things and just around the corner.

In the depths of winter, chickens slow their laying habits, and many breeds stop altogether. Then in spring, production turns on again and backyard chicken keepers are struggling to find more ways to use up eggs. Learning how to preserve eggs during times of plenty ensures a year-round supply of homegrown eggs. ---CONTINUED---

How To Make Century Eggs
https://www.askaprepper.com/how-to-make-century-eggs/

Century eggs are also known as preserved eggs, thousand-year eggs, millennium eggs, and Chinese-based eggs. The Chinese introduced this egg preservation technique, although many are not accepting the idea of eating preserved eggs.
