My recent batch of pickled eggs are done.
Been in the fridge for 2 weeks.
Oh Yeah!

Ingredients
2 cans (15 ounces each) whole beets
12 hard-cooked eggs, peeled
1 cup sugar
1 cup water
1 cup cider vinegar

Directions
1. Drain beets, reserving 1 cup juice (discard remaining juice or save for another use). Place beets and eggs in a 2-qt. glass jar.
2. In a small saucepan, bring the sugar, water, vinegar and reserved beet juice to a boil. Pour over beets and eggs; cool.
3. Cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. Yield: 12 servings.

I add sweet onions to mine.

those sound wonderful Tom, but the beets are so much better if they are home canned.

My days of canning and gardening are over.
But yer right, they are much, much better.
We used to can dilly beans.
You ever do dilly beans with shallots?

Have you ever had pickled watermellon rhinds?

I did some Ginger Pickled Eggs once with fresh ginger from the market (no beets).
Everyone who tried them loved them, cept me (go figure?).

My son had me make him a dozen Ghost Pepper Eggs. I couldn't eat them but he loved them.

dad pickled most everything

onions cukes and pepper were the most common and the longer they sat in the fridge the better he liked it.

only problem was you needed nose plugs to get anything else out of the fridge

They sound good Tom, at least the pickled beets do. I've never tried pickled eggs, they never appealed to me. But I like vinegar and love beets, so maybe I'll try them.

Thanks for the recipe.

You can find pickled beets ready to eat at the grocer.



I don't use them in my pickled eggs because it changes the taste too much.

They are rather sweet tasting, not bitter at all.
You don't have to make a full dozen. Just get a smaller jar and half the recipe, turns out the same.
I do recommend putting some tape with the date on the lid of the jar and waiting at least 2 weeks before you try one. Give the jar a shake every once in awhile to keep it mixed.
I eat em like candy! YUMMY!
drool

Gunna try adding some baby corn cobs to the mix for my next batch.

After you see if you like them, you can experiment with different additions like shallots, squash and different (favorite) herbs and spices.

Eric, they're really good with beer.
drinks
They don't really stink or smell up the fridge.
Ya keep them in the jar with the lid on.
Just don't ask anyone to pull yer finger after ya had a few, especially with beer!

dad used a bowl without a lid

ah, That explains it.

Personally, I don't put anything in my fridge uncovered.
Usually a jar, bin of some type, a sealable bag or some type of wrap.
Plus I keep a box of baking soda in it, which I shake periodically.
