Pork Puller,[p]My grandma used to just make the eggs, peal them, put them in a great big jar, fill the jar the rest of the way with pickled beets... Let them sit for a week.[p]Couldn't tell you what they tasted like though as to a young kid they just looked gross.

Pork Puller,[p]I have close to a dozen recipes for pickled eggs collected for a yet-to-be published page on my cookin' site. If you want I will e-mail all to you in a pdf file. (I like to do as much testing as possible before just publishing any old recipe...all I ask is, if you try one let me know how it comes out) But here are a couple of proven recipes for starters.[p]~thirdeye~[p]PICKLED EGG NOTES[p]These recipes came from 6 or 8 sources and vary somewhat. These general tips seem to apply to all recipes. All ingredients can be modified to taste. Beets can be added for color. Carrots can be added also. As a substitute for Tabasco or jalapenos, peppercorns can be used. You can really use any color peppercorns, but using white gives the eggs a better appearance. A small amount of turmeric give the eggs a golden color. When salt is called for, use kosher salt – NOT iodized salt.[p]Use only sterilized glass jars – NO Plastic.[p]Boiling the vinegar solution allows the spices to blend. One recipe calls for 1 to 2 hours of boiling, most call for 15 to 20 minutes. The curing time (before eating) seems to vary in most recipes.[p]Storage: Most cooks agree that the shelf life is about 1 month provided the jar is shaken every day or so.[p]PICKLED EGG RECIPES

Thanks for the reply.I'm sure one of these will do for now.
I finished off one of those half gallon jars of marinated artichoke hearts from Costco.That empty jar looked like the perfect size for some eggs.Thanks again and i'll let ya know how they turn out.

Pork Puller,[p]For cocktail parties I like to use canned quail eggs, found in oriental grocery stores,that I then pickle. Food coloring can be added.

Pork Puller,
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....my favorite!!![p]Recipe is very simple. [p]One can of beets. Strain the juice into a jar. Place a few of the beets into the jar too. (you dont have to)[p]Add white vinegar. I usually pour in about a 1/4 cup. Then...and this sounds gross....sip the mix. If it is not sour enough for your taste, add more vinegar. If too sour...use a pinch of sugar. [p]Hard boil and peel eggs. Add them to mixture. Wait at least one day. Then enjoy. Will keep about 5-7 days. After that, they get kinda rubbery.[p]

ShortRib,
having led a sheltered life "pickled eggs" is a foreign term to me, though I LOVE pickled asparagus for instance (that we buy BTW). What does a pickled egg taste similar to etc etc and are they used in some dish or just eaten like a hard boiled egg with a cold beer? Please answer soon as I'm pushing 63 and need to know what I've been missing and need to catch up on! LOL

RRP,[p]I think they taste sweet and sour. A perfect side for picnic. You can serve them whole or sliced in half like deviled eggs. I usually eat them by fishing them out of the jar and shaking a little salt on them.[p]I like serving them as a side with BBQ too. I think if you really like asparagus pickled, then you'll love eggs. [p]Enjoy!!!!!![p]
