Eggs Away!

One of the glories of summer is the number of eggs we get from our sweet hens.  Three hens, three eggs daily, like clockwork.  We've eaten a lot of omelettes and given a fair share away to friends and family over the past few months.  In fact, it's been a regular egg-a-palooza around here. But with fall comes shorter days and with shorter days comes less eggs.  It hasn't happened yet, but I know it's coming.  

But the good news is, eggs can be preserved pretty easily.  Simply take a half-dozen eggs, mix them gently, add either a half-teaspoon of salt or sugar (depending on whether you'll be using them for sweet or savory dishes), mix them again, place them in a ziplock bag and pop them into the freezer.  

Once you're ready to use them, remove them from the freezer and thaw them in the fridge  until they're ready to pop into whatever winter recipe you need them for.
