Preservation of Eggs
Ingredients
Directions
Put a layer of common salt or bran one inch deep in a wooden pail or washtub.
Grease the eggs with paraffin or oil.
Place the eggs with the small end down, ensuring they do not touch the bottom.
Cover the eggs with enough salt to create a one-inch layer on top.
