Pickled Eggs

[Tileman]

Anybody have a good pickled egg recipe?

Simplest thing in the world Tileman. Hard boil your eggs at least 10 minutes and put them in the jar. Add some hot peppers if you like them, I like cayennes but you can use jalapenos too or even 1 habanero cut in half per gallon jar. Bring some clear vinegar to a rapid boil and pour it over the eggs and cover. You will get some pickling in a few days but they are better left for a week or two. Some people put food coloring in too but it doesn't change the taste.
Oh I forgot something pretty important. You gotta peel the eggs before you put them in the jar. emoLaugh

Don't use real fresh eggs , they will peel much better and take the vinegar faster if they are a few weeks old , boil and peel , if you have any broken whites discard them ,they will mess up the whole gallon, I use a gallon glass jar , put a layer of egg's and a layer of jalapeno peppers all the way up , Bring salted and peppered vinegar to a near boil (until the tiny pin bubbles start to rise) pour mixture over contents and seal. They will be good in 24 hrs , and the deeper you go the better they get. It takes about 2 1/2 dz eggs to fill the jar. emoDance

A little different version that my family always has at around Easter.

Boil and peel a doz eggs and drop into your container.
simmer 1/4-1/2 cup water with 2 tablespoon sugar
add 1/2 cup vinagar (typically white)
add 1/2 spice jar of pickling spice
add 1/2-all beet juice from glass jar (can be done with cans of beets but not sure how many, at least two cans though).
When liquid returns to simmer, add to eggs already in container.
Place in refridge and wait at least a week (that is the hard part).

* beets can be added to the jar, but don't place the beets in the hot liquid mixture.
