Basic Pickled Eggs
Basic Pickled Eggs
You either like them or hate them. I love them, been years since I had one. I was chatting with a friend on facebook the other day and pickled eggs came up, so here is a basic recipe, several more will follow. I made these 5 July 2017 and tested them on 12 July, outstanding! This is a great basic pickled egg recipe.
Ingredients
- 12 hard boiled eggs, peeled
- 1½ cups white vinegar
- ½ cups water
- 1 tablespoons pickling spice, whole cloves removed
- 1 clove garlic, crushed
- 1 bay leaf
Instructions
- Place the eggs in a large heatproof container, a 1 quart wide mouth jar would work well.
- In a saucepan, combine the rest of the ingredients and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and carefully pour over the eggs. I fit 9 eggs in this 1 quart mason jar.
- Let cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate the eggs for 7 days. Enjoy.
Notes
Variants: 1. Add sugar, maybe several tablespoons for a sweeter pickled egg, also try adding ground horse radish for a more intense flavor.
Shortcut: Perfect Hard Boiled Chicken Eggs.
