Pickled Egg Recipe

[bonbean01]

This is the recipe I started with before changing it...LOL...I always do changes to suit what we like...found we didn't care for the onions in this, so didn't do that again.

3 dozen hard boiled eggs, peeled
1 quart distilled white vinegar
1 sliced onion
1 tablespoon mustard seed
1 tablespoon dill seed
1 tablespoon black peppercorns
6 cloves garlic
16 oz. jar jalapeno, and juice, or use crushed chili peppers with seeds if you like it hot and spicey
4-6 splashes hot sauce, or more if you want more kick


Put peeled eggs in 1 gallon jar. Boil all ingredients, except eggs for 15 minutes. Pour hot mixture over eggs until eggs are covered. Add water to fill jar if needed. Marinate in refrigerator for 1 week before using.

If you want to can these...and they do can well without making the eggs mushy or rubbery...pack boiled eggs into sterilized jars, then pour over the hot brine, seal with hot sterilized lids and rings, and put in hot water canner bath so that the water covers the tops of the jars....process these in rapidly boiling water for 20 minutes....then take out with your jar tongee things to cool. When cooling, you'll hear the pop when it seals and be sure all seals in the middle dent in...if some don't, put those ones in the fridge...last a long time...for good sealed jars, put in pantry when cool and they last safely many years.

We love pickled eggs and it's a good way to use those extra eggs when the girls are laying well and you can't keep up

I've never had a pickled egg...I think I may have to try this this spring though....Could the pickled eggs be used to make deviled eggs???

 

[bonbean01]

I've never tried pickled eggs for deviled eggs...so...I don't know.

We like them as a protein tasty snack...as a side dish...and sliced in leafy green or veggie salads...you either hate them or love them...we love them!

Nice recipe for pickled eggs Bonbean!

Pickled eggs don't last long in our home... we raise quail specially for pickling quail eggs... fussy little eggs to peel, but pickled quail eggs seem to be the rage around our parts, and they keep me in "pin money" from the boys of my husband's job sites!

If anyone hasn't tried pickled eggs, I highly recommend giving them a go!

I have never tried pickled egg, but would love to!!!! Also I would love to try my hand at making them!! I always have a surplus of egg around here.
Have you ever tryed the recipie without the jalapenos and hot sauce Bon? I am kind a wimpy when it comes to hot and spicey things!!

Four Winds...yes...also do them without the hot stuff...so many recipes on the internet for different tasting pickled eggs...we just happen to like them spicey.

Beauty of pickled eggs is that you can also pack them in sterilized jars, pour the hot brine on them...and can them with the water bath method and process for 15 minutes and then they keep for a very long time...did only a few jars the first time to see if processing them would make them rubbery and nope...still the same. This is a way to keep them when chickens go into major egg laying mode.
