Here is a way to preserve your farm fresh eggs for winter or to just add them to your storage.

• Load your clean jar of bucket with your clean (no debris stuck to them), but unwashed farm fresh eggs
• Measure out a quart of water and add 1 (weighted) ounce of pickling lime to the water, stir and pour over your eggs
• Repeat this until your eggs are covered by 1-2 inches with water/lime mixture. For every quart of water you will need to mix in 1 weighted ounce of pickling lime
• Cover jar and store in a cool dark place.

Note: this will last for up to two years if done correctly and stored correctly. If you wash the eggs prior to this process you will compromise the seal which will allow the lime water to leach into your eggs which will compromise the egg rendering it no good. This will not work with grocery store eggs.
