Who has pickled eggs?

[koshergrl]

This is the recipe I'm going to use:

Ingredients

• • 1 large empty sterilized glass jars
  • 4 cups vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 2 medium onions, chopped
  • 1/3 cup sugar
  • 1 tablespoon pickling spices

Directions

1. Put the peeled hardboiled eggs in the large jar.
2. Boil the remaining ingredients together for 5 minutes.
3. Pour over the eggs in the jar.
4. Cover; leave on counter overnight.

Keeps in refrigerator for weeks, in theory.
In reality, if you love pickled eggs, these will disappear.

Looks simple, I can handle this. My daughter is going to go nuts for these...she loves eggs and pickles.

Oh yay!

I got pickling spice..but I forgot tooth picks, darnit.

But I'm getting closer. I think tomorrow will be the Big Egg Day.

What do you need the tooth pics for?

To poke a hole through the eggs.

Every vid I saw on pickling eggs showed the picklers poking a pick through the middle of each egg.

I presume it's to promote permeation of pickle juice through the egg yolk...

yeah, i saw that too.... but Missourian posted a link that makes me think twice about that. Look at post 28.

I saw something about it but I think I'm going to go ahead and poke away.

Then i would suggest boiling the pics for a minute or so... to sterilize them.

I think keeping the jar out of the sun and at a low temp would help, too...

I will clear a shelf in my fridge.

When my boys were young, my mom used to plop hard boiled eggs into pickle juice after the pickles were all gone, and just keep those in the fridge for my oldest.

I don't think she pricked the yolks.

I think keeping them in the fridge is probably the best way to keep botulism away. That, and cool them quickly.
