Old-fashioned Pickled Eggs

A day or two after Easter is the perfect time to use up those leftover  hard boiled eggs. You might have seen them in delicatessens, but I'm guessing you've never tried making them yourself. Pickled eggs are simple to make and handy to include in such dishes as salads, egg salad sandwiches, and deviled eggs, as well as a enjoying them as a high protein snack. Or serve with crackers, cold sliced meats, and cheeses. You'll no doubt find other combinations as well.

The pickling seeps into the center of the egg in about a day, but the longer they're in the brine, the more vinegary they taste. Once pickled, you can store the eggs in the refrigerator for up to a month. Adding pickled beets and their juice to the jar will produce pink eggs.

One dozen hard boiled eggs    Preparing and cooking the brine: 20 minutes   Pickling: 24 hours to 4 weeks
Ingredients
1 dozen hard boiled egg, peeled
2 cups apple cider vinegar (about)
1 small onion, thinly sliced
1 1/2 teaspoon mixed pickling spice
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppers
1/2 teaspoon mustard seed
1/2 teaspoon salt

Option: 1 pound pickled beets with juice
Directions
1. Mix spices and vinegar in a pan and bring to a boil. Simmer uncovered over medium-low heat for 15 minutes.
2. Pack peeled, hard boiled eggs and sliced onion in a 1 to 1-1/2 quart wide mouth jar.
3. Pour vinegar mixture over eggs until covered, adding more vinegar if necessary.
4. Let cool, then cover tightly and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving. The flavor will intensify as the eggs age. 
​5.  ​Adding pickled beets and their juice to the jar will produce pink eggs.

​I hope you enjoy these recipes. Let me know which one's you've tried and how they turned out.

Good cooking to you,
​Linda

    Linda M. Kurth is the creative mind behind such stories as the romance, Home of the Heart, and her  memoir, God, the Devil and Divorce, as well as the recipes and crafts you'll find in these pages. Here's how this blog began:
    ​
    "This chicken salad is fabulous" my writer friends told me at our little luncheon. "We want the recipe."

    "I've been thinking of starting a recipe blog," I said. "This will be the first dish on it. Will that work for you?"

    "Do it!" they urged. 

    I've thought about creating a cookbook for years, but with all of my other activities, I realize that's not going to happen in the traditional sense. So I'm happy to have this venue to share my favorite dishes and discoveries. I hope you'll find some dishes here that become some of your favorites too.
