To Preserve Eggs for Winter Use
Ingredients
Directions
In a large container, mix 3 gallons of water with 1 pint of fresh slacked lime and ½ pint of common salt.
Stir the mixture well until combined.
Carefully place the eggs in the brine, ensuring not to break the shells.
Make sure the eggs are fully covered with the brine.
