Guest guest Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 You can use more than 1 egg... I usually do 3... the shell does disolve leaving just a thin membrane skin ... have to be careful not to break it into the lemon juice...did you gently stir or swish the juice and eggs every day? It could be the brown color which changed the juice color... I've used a mix of white and lt brown (beige) but never had it turn brown or had anything but maybe some lemon pulp in it... cause I didn't get all the pulp strained out... maybe Doc or someone has another idea.... It sounds like you did it right... was it organic lemon juice? or juice from a real lemon? Suzi Tyrie Grubic <yeshuassheep wrote: Suzanne,No, the egg did not break. I had brown eggs, and the brown filmon the outside of the egg sort of dissolved and sloughed off...and as it mingled with the lemon juice, it turned rather reddishin color. So there are little bits of reddish things. Theylook like small blood clots. When I removed the eggs, the membranes were intact, but therewas very little eggshell left. Some of the eggs had part of ashell in places, others were very thin, others were just themembrane. (Ironically, it was the eggs the lowest down that hadthe most shell still left on them.)

Guest guest Posted March 24, 2003 Report Share Posted March 24, 2003 Hi Tyrie, These are perfectly normal as you used brown eggs. These will not hurt you in any manner. All you need to do is to thoroughly stir your lemon egg to incorporate these "floaties" and all will be well. It may look a little funky but I assure you all will be well.

I usedNON-concentrated organic lemon juice, something my roommate hadused successfully (all other brands, concentrated, don't work asper the instructions, but she tried anyway . I was -- and am -- rather uncertain about the proportion oflemon juice to eggs. I used 7 eggs and 2 cups of lemon juice. Igently whished the juice in the jar every few hours for 2 days. Then I removed the eggs. There was still some shell on some ofthe eggs, particularly the lower ones.During the days the eggs were soaking, I noticed the brown outerlayer of the eggshell was sloughing off, and little membranes ofit floating in the lemon juice. They look reddish-brown. Theseare the floaties I was describing that look rather like bloodclots. I take it they aren't normal?? Has anyone else seen these?
