Salted eggs- the traditional method<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Commercial salted eggs, or itlog na maalat, are made by \"brining\" fresh duck eggs in mud made of equal parts clay and salt moistened with water. The eggs are individually dipped in the mud bath to coat fully and are then allowed to cure for 15 to 18 days, depending on the eggs' size.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The special clay locally called putik sa punso, is actually ant or termite mounds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traditional way may sound like an interesting project, and albeit the resulting eggs are said to be better in taste and texture,  I don't think I'd be messing around with anthills anytime soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
