Method
Preparation
- Clean the eggs: Rinse the eggs gently under running water, using a soft cloth if needed. Pat them dry with a kitchen towel.
- Prepare the brine: In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of water and 1 cup of rock salt. Heat over medium heat until the salt is fully dissolved (5-7 minutes). Once dissolved, remove from heat and let it cool.
- Brine the eggs: Place the cleaned duck eggs in a large glass jar. Pour the cooled brine over the eggs, ensuring they’re fully submerged. Leave some brine aside for later.
- Weigh down the eggs: To keep the eggs submerged, transfer the leftover brine into a small plastic bag, seal it, and place it on top of the eggs in the jar.
- Seal and store: Close the lid tightly on the jar and store at room temperature away from direct sunlight. Let it cure for two weeks.
- Ready to enjoy: After two weeks, rinse the eggs lightly before using.
Notes
Once cured, salted duck eggs can last up to three months in the fridge. Consider tasting one after the first week to check on the saltiness.
