Hi All - this time of year everyone seems to have extra eggs and its always good to have something different to use them up with so I have put a page on my website with links to some recipe ideas.  Some old ones and some ones I havent tried yet myself

Check it out (moderators - hope its ok to include the link if not bin it) and let me know if there are good ones I have left out or if its not working properly

Thanks Sue, we set ours in Vaseline for storing. These keep for about six months and are used for scrambled and baking, they fry a treat too. My ma used to use Isinglass but I find the Vaseline method easy and quick. I keep meaning to try drying but its a fag. We pickle too and take the jars to "do's" to sell.

Hi there - that's interesting.  Do you mean you rub them all over with vaseline to keep the air out?  Surely they are not set in pots of vaseline, that would be way to expensive.

I have heard about rubbing them over with lard as an old-fashioned method to prolong storage, though have'nt tried it myself.

all the best

Sorry will explain better! Rub any muck of with wire wool or a scour pad. Then smear a film of Vaseline all over and store in egg trays in a dark cool place. We have kept them six months that way with only the odd bad one.
