firecure egg

[Bmastro777]

So I've pretty much got my cure down to a T. But, when the cure is complete and I have the jars sitting in the fridge for a few days, the eggs are still producing a juice. Not a lot, but enough to keep the eggs wet. So are the eggs constantly curing even after this initial process is complete?

My experience with that is that they will keep getting moist and turn to goo in the fridge. Either have to freeze them,dry them out, or bury them in borax

I've tried the borax but it turns them to mush.

Keep in fridge for 3 days, then freeze. Once frozen...vacuum seal.

I'm using firecure. Eggs still produce juice after a few days sitting in jar.

When using Fire Cure, or any cure for that matter, I wait until they have fully reabsorbed the juice, then let them sit in the garage on a paper towel until tacky to the touch. Then I roll them in borax, freeze them in ziploc just long enough to get them solid, and then vacuum seal. They've always worked fine for me. Not sure how well you're letting them air dry before packaging.

I will lay mine out on a piece of cardboard in the garage, then put the cardboard at a slight angle with something at the bottom to catch the juice. Leave em until tacky then coat with borax and either freeze them (if I am not going to use them right way) or refrigerate.

Or just use Borax o fire. I actually use both. Fire Cure is used to create a much, MUCH wetter egg. Borax o fire is essentially the same stuff, just with the added borax, which will dry them out perfectly. Sometimes when I run out of eggs, I will get the store bought eggs, and just cut them up in fishable pieces and shake them in borax o fire.

I keep mine in a Ziploc back and sprinkle the cure to it and keep then in fridge till all the just get soaked back to the individual eggs. The Ziploc gonna looked like its vacuumed sealed. Then I dry it in between paper towels overnight at the garage before using it the next day or put in jar a freeze for the planned outing. That what works for me.

[HULI_ISDA]

I meant "all the juice soaked back to the eggs".
