Pickled Eggs

Pickled Eggs
Prep Time: 10 min       Cook Time: 10 min      Storage Time: 2 -48 Days
Serving Size: 12


I was watching Women's Network on the weekend and came across the term pickled eggs!!
So I did some research and tried out this recipe.


Pickling juice contains vinegar, water and sugar boiled together with spices. The liquid is reduced and cooled and then poured over the hard-boiled eggs. The eggs will be placed in an airtight jar with a lid and then stored in the refrigerator for at least 2 days and up to 48 days.

You can experiment different spices in your pickling juice. If you like spicy, then add in dried hot chilies. If spicy is not your cup of tea, then try brown sugars and or cinnamon.



INGREDIENTS

12 Hard Boil Eggs
2 Cups White Vinegar
2 Cups Water
1 Bay Leave
2 Cloves Finely Diced Garlic
1 Tsp Finely Diced Chili
1 Dried Hot Chili Pepper
1 Tbs Pickling Spices
1/2 Tsp Peppercorn
1 Tsp Sugar



DIRECTIONS

In a medium pot, put in eggs and cover with cold water. Bring water to boil and remove pot from heat. Cover the eggs and let them sit in hot water for 10 minutes.

Drain waters from eggs and peel off the shells.

Bring a medium saucepan to medium heat. Pour in vinegar, water and all other ingredients. Bring the mixture to a boil and remove from heat.

Pour the mixture into a sterile container.



Add in eggs and make sure the container is air tight. Refrigerate the eggs for at least 2 days and up to 48 days.
