Welcome to the canning world. Here is a link to National Food Preservation site that talks about canning eggs and the safety issues associated with it. Not the answer you might be looking for but a starting point.

This is only the first of many I found when I googled "canning eggs and beets".
I've pickled beets many times, but never an egg.

My neighbor brought me 2 grocery bags full of bell peppers and I want to freeze them for peppers and onions over the winter... and stir fries... and that kinda stuff.

megcpat were you tring to get out of doing his favorite all time stuff!!!

Make him help you!!





ETA: When ya pickle just beets do you add the seeds (spice?), momma wants some small whole beets done with the small spice seeds and I can't find what she is talking about. I have a spice diffuse i add the spices in so they are not in the final jar!

I didn't know you could can them. All I've ever seen are pickled eggs and beets in gallon jars that are refrigerated. They will hold well for a few months like that.

When I freeze peppers I cut them in half or quarters, take out the seeds and lay them on cookie sheets and put in freezer. When they are frozen put them in freezer bags. That way you can take out just what you need. Its great to have them on hand.

Wow, well, my ignorance on the matter is even worse than I realized. I was using the terms canning and pickling sort of interchangeably. After reading your response here TipsyDog, and re-reading the Food Preservation Site with this in mind, I think I finally get it. Wow, how embarrassing. Any-how, thank you for clarifying that for me.

Very easy, Vfem. Just wash them, then remove seeds. Leave whole, slice or chop. Bag and freeze.
