YooperDog Yeah if you find it please let me know, I’d give it a shot, if nothing else it might be an opportunity to groos Austin out on a livestream or something! Free food to get free beer is about as good as it gets, especially when you’re young!

Jonathon I will go through my notebooks and see what I can find. Smoked fish and meats along with some pickled fish and meats accompanied by some good beer and you have a feast.

lkrfletcher Chef I worked up this recipe years ago. They don’t last long when I make them. Large and jumbo eggs will work, but the medium eggs pickle more quickly and have more of the flavor. Medium eggs also are a better snack size, and a dozen fit nearly perfectly in a quart-sized, wide mouth Mason jar.
Gochujang Pickled Eggs
12 medium eggs
¾ cup water
1 ¼ cups white vinegar
2 tsp salt
¼ tsp garlic powder
½ tsp mustard seed
½ tsp turmeric
2 tbsp gochujang (Korean chili paste)
2 half-dollar sized slices ginger, julienned
Thinly sliced onion to taste
¼ tsp dill seed
½ tsp dry mustard
¼ tsp black pepper
Pinch of dry oregano-
Boil eggs—place in pot and cover with water; bring to boil; cut fire, cover, and remove from heat; after 10 minutes, cool under running cold water (and make ice bath); remove shells. Place eggs in large jar (1 dozen medium eggs fits perfectly in a 1-quart, wide mouth mason jar) or other container of choice.
-
Add remaining ingredients to saucepan and bring to a boil, stirring frequently until salt is dissolved. Simmer for 5-7 minutes. Pour over eggs in jar.
-
Close jar and refrigerate for at least 4 days (2 weeks is better).
TexLaw Okay, just put my pickles in the refrigerator. Going to be a LONG few days, but looking forward to tasting them. Thanks for the recipe. Might want to post this in the User Recipe category, I think that category will be a very useful resource as it builds up. There is so much talents and so many skills this community has, preserving them I believe is important.

Nothing like home made pickles. I just opened one of my habanero dills yesterday. So good and soooo crisp.

lkrfletcher You said it. I usually can asparagus as well, my go to snack along with pickles. For my pickles I like adding a lot of garlic (which is great to eat as well) along with tabasco peppers. There was a brand called Ma Brown which I though was the best pickle in the universe, but they got bought out and shut down, so I worked at duplicating them. Finally got there

Nice. The garlic is a must I add a bit of horseradish root. Pepper corns and a bunch of standard stuff.

Chef nice. I hate beets. Can’t do it. Hope they come out good.

Chef Wow, that looks amazing. Is that a regular & an extra spicy? it looks like you have more peppers in there which sounds even more amazing. It doesn’t look like Beets, or at least not when I used to add them for some batches.

Chef I have never seen tops like that. Where did you get them?

calldoctoday Walmart. Fairly cheap, but getting mason jar lids and tops is next to impossible, haven’t been able to get lids in a good while. Can’t can with these, but great once you open up a jar or for storage. I keep all my spices in quart and 1/2 gallon mason jars and use these lids for them as well

calldoctoday I didn’t intentionally add more of anything, most of that was onions and ginger. as far as the beets, added a very minimal amount, didn’t want to change the flavor profile.

Chef Well, they sure do look good! I thought maybe you used more pepper like spices & I really like the idea. They did not look beet like. Oh well. I wonder what the problem with getting canning lids is? I have seen in past years that they would not sell much of any canning supplies if any at one Walmart & then go down the road 10 miles or so & they had them. When I asked about it, they said they figure out what the customers that use that particular store the most like & buy & order accordingly. The ones that did not sell the canning supplies were more uptown & the ones that did we more country. I seem to think it was the Walmart in Tomball vs one out on Jackrabbit Road somewhere. The one in Tomball of course was much more country like. Granted that was at least 30 years ago.

calldoctoday Chef No canning lids to be found around here either, I’ve checked groceries stores, hardware stores, TSC, Orschelens, etc and there are no lids to ge found. You can buy new jars with lids, but that is about it.

Tex_77 Wow. I am going to have to look here now too. I have not looked, because I did not need any & had several boxes. That is amazing. I wonder what the deal with this is now. It seems like it has been one thing or the other of late.

calldoctoday The pandemic has got everyone gardening and canning.

calldoctoday Tex_77 I can’t even get new jars around here. People are afraid. I know of several people stocking up just in case the November elections don’t go the way they want. Everything from canning, baking, sourdough, gardens, and even things like chickens and bees. A sad situation that in as great of a country as the United States is, that people have to be concerned about such things.

Tex_77 If I bought more canning jars, the wife would kill me. I do can a lot, typically have 200 to 500 jars of soups, meats, pickled items, fruits, and just about anything I can put up. I have an old farmhouse that I’m restoring and I love the ‘mud room’ design these homes had. Got shelving to store all my canned goods and cookbooks. I’ve never been known to do things in limited quantity. Hell, my gumbo pot is an 80 quart pot. But during these time, finding several people of need that I’m so blessed to help bu making sure they have a good meal in front of them.

Tex_77 I’m always ready. As Paul said, I ready to join you, but I’ll stay here if you need me to!
