Kanny, They look good.I bet once you tap them they won't last very long at all. Even family members who claim not to like pickled eggs will be delving in!

I made a jar of eggs a couple of weeks ago and after 2 weeks they started disintegrating in the jar and opening the jar was not a pleasant experience. It was obviously something I had done / not done, but I am at a loss to know what. I have made them in the past with no problems.

Not sure TC to strong or week solution perhaps? is the jar sealing correctly? .... I just finished the last of my first batch yesterday after 7 weeks and they were as good as the day they went in ..6% as you directed me in the original post ....even though I had no problems with the first batch I've been much more thorough with the sterilization on this new batch so fingers crossed all is good with them :thumbs:

dicky vinegar so maybe not strong enough Allan ?

Could be, but the pickles I made from the same batch of vinegar are still going strong and have plenty of flavour. I tend to make up the pickling vinegar in litre batches with the sugar and spices, then return to the bottles to use when needed. I am really anal about sterilising the jars and lids and usually go over and above what is actually needed. It's got me flummoxed right enough. :hmm:

After making a few jars recently with both chicken and duck eggs my Mrs pointed out that there were still some in the store I had forgotten about, sure enough there was a big jar of chicken eggs in non brewed white vinegar, over two years old. Well I thought I can't chuck them they look perfect, so I've been eating them all week and they are awesome.
