Adapted from an internet recipe.
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.

Servings 12 pickled eggs

Ingredients
  

  • 12 hard boiled eggs, peeled
  • 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.
