Interesting and very informative! These sort of reminded me of Red Beet Eggs which are native to Lancaster County (Amish Country) Pennsylvania. The difference is that you hard boil the egg first, then peel them, and soak them in pickled red beet juice. The color of the egg is silmilar to what you pictured, and the eggs are sortof rubbery. I love them. I would like to try the eggs you have here. I might have to make them!
very cool...thanks for posting about salty eggs!
Interesting pic and story!
Mine's up too :)
love 'em! posted salted eggs, too! :)
I ate salted eggs before. It is tasty.
I will Exercise for Comments!

Ginutom ako dito Rach. I love itlog na maalat with tapa and garlic fried rice!
My family and I love the salted eggs. We have it in Hawai'i too. You can get it in the markets there or go to China town. In fact they have it at the chinese take out places. Thanks for stopping by.
Very interesting indeed! thanks for the recipe and happy weekend!
Sidney, I guess moderation is the key.
I wonder if this is healthy food... ?

I'm truly overwhelmed with all your comments. Thank you TNChick for making me the site of the day. I'm very honored. I'm very happy to receive so many comments on my photo hunt this week. It's a wonderful gift! Thanks everyone for visiting me. Take care and see you on the next hunt.
I've never acquired a taste for salted eggs. I tried them once but didn't care too much for them. The pink ones are pretty, though.
So that's how salted eggs are being done. It's been quite a while since I last ate a salted egg and it looks like I want one now! Lol
That's a beautiful image. I don't much like eggs, but they are very pretty with the pink and the white next to each other.
Happy hunting :)
I had not heard of this recipe before but we have plenty of eggs around here to try it with. Thank you for sharing.
Salted eggs...hummm these are the first ones I've seen on the hunt! My photo is up, please come and visit

I can honestly say that I haven't see n any other pictures of salted eggs during this week's photo hunt. :)
Congratulations on getting picked site of the day for PHOTO HUNT Saturday!! Wanted to congratulate you...Rachel.

One of the beauties of photo hunt is learning something new -- and I did from your posting. Thanks for sharing and being the photo of the week!
Thanks for the recipe. Great photo. The eggs sound worth trying to make.
The red eggs are so pretty! I appreciate you sharing the recipe and I am going to give these a try for Maricel, my brother's finance, who just arrived yesterday from the Philippines. I can't wait to meet her but it looks like it is going to be at least another week. She will be staying with my Mom for three months. Congratulations on being the site of the day!
Those salted eggs are very colourful. :) Thanks for sharing this delicacy with us!
Congratulations on being the site of the day. :)
That is so very interesting, I'd never heard of these before!! My mom use to make Pickled Eggs which were put in a mixture of salt and vinegar but I know these are completely different. Such a great subject for this weeks' theme:-) Mine is up too!!
I learned something new today - "salted eggs." The red ones are very pretty. Have a great weekend!
Wonderful picture and interesting recipe! No wonder you're the site of the day! Great take on the theme.

I like your interesting recipe! I learn a lot by visiting you. I like your close up low perspective on the shot.

You know I would love to give one a try...
Great photo for today's theme.

Connie

I don't think I could handle those. Interesting though. Thanks for sharing.
I've had pickled eggs before, but not salted eggs....interesting concept! Have you had them....are they tasty? I wanna try 'em!!!
Mine's posted this week...OLD SALTS
[congrats on the site for this week!]
Hi Rachel
Those red eggs would look good mixed in a green salad in summer, Ithink ill have to try it in a smaller quantity
Congratulations on being the site of the week! Those salted eggs sound very interesting. Thanks for sharing this traditional delicacy with us. :)
Congrats on being the site of the week!!
Love the pink color of the eggs and thanks for sharing the "recipe"!! Will have to try them sometime.
hi rachel, congrats to being site of the day!..cool salty eggs...i just love the pink colour...!..
Those look delicious. Great picture too! Congrats on being Hunter of the week.
My Mom used to make pickled eggs, but I've never had salted eggs.
:)
That is really neat. I have never heard of these salty eggs before. Thanks for explaining it. They do sound yummy.
Hi Rach - love the colour of your salty eggs :)
sure sounds interesting... and tasty... and pretty!
The pink ones are so pretty - i thought they were colored Easter Eggs! My photo is up!
hi rach,
i love itlog na maalat, too. i eat with tomatoes and tinapa for breakfast. sarap! i may have to try making salted eggs myself, thanks for sharing.
Alam mo, Rachel, when I was staying in the dorm, to save on my allowance, for lunch I would just mash salted eggs into about two finely chopped large tomatoes and use it as topping for crackers or filling for pandesal! I still like to eat it that way.
By the way, my editing toolbar is misssing from my posting box, hindi tuloy ako maka-compose.
Hugs and kisses to Yohan...

How interesting! And the hypertonic salt solution keeps them from spoiling at room temp? Today is going to be fun.... congratulations on being site of the day.
I just learned something new. Great take on this weeks theme. Congrats on being site of the week.
Thanks for teaching me something new today!
Very original take on the salt theme.
They sound tasty! I love hard boiled eggs!
I also eat my salted eggs with tomatoes.
they look good to me! And healthy... Congrats on site of the day.
How very interesting! I'm so surprised that they don't have to be refrigerated while soaking.
Sounds interesting, may have to give it a go. Nice colours in that photo. Happy weekend.
That's very interesting ! I know that in Germany they do also eggs like this but instead of water they add vinegar that makes it more spicy. It's called "rotten eggs" and mostly served with beer.
Mmmmm, salty eggs! Sounds delicious!
Interesting!!!
Don't think I've had any before...
I made you site of the day for this hunt - hope lots of folks drop in to see you. =)
I'm guessing it tastes salty -- that the salt soaks through the shell? Unique take on today's theme!
this is one of hubby's fave side dish... its about 75 cents here.... very expensive. thanks for sharing this, maybe i should make my own red eggs from now on.
so for the 3 weeks that they are in the jar, you do not change the water?
Very interesting post! I live in Malaysia and boiled eggs are a very common breakfast food (with coconut rice, tomato, cucumber, anchovies and peanuts) - nasi lemak. This seems like a similar, Filipino version.
Interesting. I've never heard of that. My little girl would love to see those beautiful eggs in our fridge, though!
I just read about these eggs in my audiobook, Salt by Mark Karlansky! It's fascinating because I would think the eggs would rot but they don't. It sounds good with tomatoes. I may try it!
mmmm itlog na maalat! I love it with tomatoes (and onions if I don't have to leave the house) hehe... Happy Photohunting :D
