I really love scallops, but of course, here in northern Minnesota, we don&#8217;t have access to them. Lucky you. To can scallops, clean them well then pack into hot pint or half-pint jars. No seafood should be processed in quarts. Add \u00bd tsp of salt to pints and \u00bc tsp salt to half pints. Then pour boiling water over the scallops leaving 1 inch of headspace. Process at 10 pounds pressure for an hour and 40 minutes.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;d love having you for a neighbor, too, but our only neighbors are deer, wolves, coyotes, moose, and other critters. &#8212; Jackie<\/p>\n<p><strong>Canning frozen eggs<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><em>We have just acquired six 5-gallon square plastic buckets of pickled eggs. They are in vinegar and professionally packed and frozen. They are on our basement floor thawing out. What can we do? CAN them safely?

If you could answer back ASAP we will owe you even more!<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Steve and Denise<\/em><br \/>\n<em>Coggon, Iowa<\/em><\/p>\n<p>I honestly can&#8217;t tell you what to do with your eggs. I pickle fresh eggs all the time, but have never pickled previously frozen eggs before.
