Home-Made Salted Eggs

Salted egg or itlog na maalat is one of my favorite comfort foods. Just add diced tomato or have it like an apple the way I like it.   Since I moved to the US I've been craving for salted eggs. I never learned how to make them, so I would end up going to Asian stores. I don't like how other Asian countries make their salted eggs. It's not even salty. Sad to say, there's no Philippine made salted eggs to any Asian groceries here. I don't wanna order online, otherwise I'll pay more.
So, for me to save money and my craving, I searched online on how to make salted eggs. Again,  I wasn't satisfied.  It was either too salty or not salty at all.  It was so depressing. So, I ended up using my own technique.  It's simple and everything was from scratch.
I used old container, washed and dried. I washed and placed at least six eggs, added coarse salt about four cups, then I added water enough to cover the eggs.  Cover the jar with a foil before the lid. Then waited for two months, yes two months for my eggs to be salty.  Enjoy your salted eggs. 

An update:  Do not forget to boil your salted eggs like a regular hard boiled eggs.  My friend made this for herself and she told me that her salted eggs were not hard enough, as if they were still raw.  I laughed at her and ask for her pardon, lol, she did not boil the eggs.  My friend thought once after two months, the eggs are hard and ready to serve.
