Before I put eggs in jar... I use a toothpick and poke holes all over it. Helps eggs absorb juice better - and almost all the way through. Belle - another fantastic recipe. Thanks.

Belle - do you have a good chow-chow recipe? I recently made a small batch (for refrigerator / instead of canning)... Am always looking for a newer version.
