Trying something a little old-fashioned here at Huff Family Farms & Stables! 🥚🐓
We started our first batch of water-glassed eggs using fresh, clean, unwashed eggs from our own hens. The eggs are submerged in a mixture of water and food-grade pickling lime, which seals the pores of the shells and helps preserve them for the months when egg production slows down.
The cloudy appearance and lime settling at the bottom are both normal. Now we’ll store the jar in a cool, dark place and let it do its job!
We love learning traditional ways to preserve what the farm provides and make good use of the blessings God has given us. Here’s to another step toward a fuller pantry and a more self-sufficient farm! 🌾
