I love to can veggies in jars and make pickled okra or pickled eggs. 
My grandma is a pickler! She is always preserving the lifespan of any food you can think of. It taste good too!
Yes and pickled eggs extends the life of the food for consumption
I love pickled eggs! That's where it's at. The good thing about that, as with many other foods we can eat them MONTHS later. That's awesome
Yes and I also pickle okra, tomatoes and green beans, very flavorful
Don't this effect the food's texture and flavor? I like the hot pickled food too
No its in the process and the veggies stay crisp if put in ice water prior to pickling
I don't know if you do this but she not only pickles fruit, eggs and veggies, but somehow meat too! Do you?
