Making Pickled Quail Eggs!

We have been hatching quail babies on the homestead this winter and are amazed at how fast they are growing. From hatching to laying eggs in just 8 weeks. Today we are making pickled quail eggs!

The pickling solution is:

1 cup white vinegar
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon salt
2 tsp. pickling spice
1 tsp. red pepper flakes
4 cloves of minced garlic

Bring to a boil and then allow to return to room temperature. Pour over eggs and refrigerate for 5-7 days.

****** About Living Traditions Homestead ******

Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.

We put out 5 new videos every week! Tuesday through Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

In Cambodia, they sell these (Not pickled, just boiled) in little packets with salt and spices, you used to get about a dozen in a pack for about 50 cents while drinking beer. Beer and egg farts, anyone? Worth it.

I prefer eggs pickled with beets too, I prefer the taste, and I love red color. I like to pickle mine till the yolks turn red too.

I never did anything with quail, but I'd love to, ever since I ran across a grouse in the pasture, near my land! They are really pretty. I don't know how they taste, but I could never do the processing anyhow, so I will focus on eggs! I have 4 bantam layers, 2 of which a bigger hens, but lay tiny very light blue eggs! They are barnyard mixers, whose daddy must've been small, momma was cream legbar. They lay a lot. This is what I want to do with the eggs, so great idea for a video, it came at a great time for us. Maybe my husband won't be so disappointed about the tiny eggs if I find a fun way to prepare them!

I got addicted to pickled quail eggs when I was in China. You could get a jar of a couple dozen for 5 or 6 yen (roughly 75 cents American at the time) at just about any corner store. For anyone who hasn't tried them, quail eggs taste about...85% like a chickens egg but creamier. A bit more smooth texture wise and slightly richer. They are also about 70% yoke which is a gigantic selling point in my book.

HI Kevin and Sarah. I too have just journeyed into raising quail and I can't believe A How small they are when they first hatch and B How quickly they mature. We used a combination of your quail house build and SlightlyRednecked's quail house. My first egg was exactly 6 weeks to the day from hatching. I couldn't believe it. We are still waiting for eggs from chickens that hatched in early April. We only processed our first 6 quail boys to eat yesterday. So many eggs, so now to watch this video on pickling them.

You can soak the boiled quail eggs over night shells on in strait vinegar. It will dissolved he shell and leave the membrane. Lot easier peelin. Thanks again from central Arkansas

[patyarriaga]

What is your recipe for the pickling spices?

[StayCationNLTalks]

If you want to look for efficienies, once the water starts to boil, you can turn off the stove and cover the pot for the 3min, the eggs ( all eggs ) will cook just the same as leaving the stove on. ( just like you did for the second boil for pickling ).

Gotta admire how hard birds fight to hatch.

[beckycory]

I fermented boiled eggs & my husband loved them. I don't like them by themselves, but I do like them as egg salad or in tuna salad or chef salad.

[journeywithnancy]

I have found that steaming their eggs instead of boiling makes them easier to peel

I missed the link to Sarahs favorite pickling solution. I pickle pumpkin cubes but thats a sweet pickle. You're looking good Kevin, glad you're following doctors orders. A common sense kinda guy.

[StaceyHerewegrowagain]

Aww. I can't wait to get some quail of our own!! I'm going to start out with 2 quail, 2 goats and a few chickens. Thanks for sharing all the great information about raising these guys! I cant wait for enough support, so I can start my own non-profit program in the near future. I would love to donate most of what I grow to people in need!

[melindalewis]

Hi guys, I just watched Kevin pickling his quail eggs, and he said 2 didn't peel well. There is a trick I learned online from someone that showed how to peel eggs vary easily. Put your egg in a glass with just about enough to cover half the egg. Cover with your hand and give it a good shaking. That should peel all the shell from your egg.

[LJTomlinson]

The pickled eggs are really good sliced Vidalia onions and little smokies sausage's in the jar as well.

[ericshoemake]

[karenmckinney]
