Pickled Eggs Recipe - 3 versions

I have a few people interested in Pickled Eggs since I posted my photos for I Heart Macro. So here is my recipe, its easy too :)


Pickled Eggs:

1 dozen eggs, hard boiled, peeled and punctured
2 cups vinegar
1 tbsp sugar
1 tbsp salt
1 tbsp garlic salt
1 onion, thinly sliced
bay leaves.

Bring ingredients to a boil, except onion and bay leaves. Place eggs into hot jars, adding some onion and a couple of bay leaves. Pour hot mixture over them and seal with hot lids.

Let stand a couple weeks before munching on them :)

This is easily doubled.


Hot & Spicy Pickled Eggs:

1 dozen eggs, hard boiled, peeled and punctured
3 cups vinegar
3 tbsp dried chives
2 tbsp dried thyme
2 tbsp dried parsley
peppercorns
bay leaves
dried chili peppers

Bring ingredients to a boil, except peppercorns, chili peppers and bay leaves. Place eggs into hot jars, adding some chili peppers, peppercorns and a couple of bay leaves. Pour hot mixture over them and seal with hot lids.

Let stand a couple weeks before munching on them :)

This is easily doubled.


Spiced Pickled Eggs:

1 dozen eggs, hard boiled, peeled and punctured
1 onion, thinly sliced

Ingredients to Boil:
3 cups red wine vinegar
1 cinnamon stick
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp whole allspice
1 tsp whole cloves
1/2 tsp whole coriander seeds
1 quarter sized slice of fresh ginger
1 bay leaf.

Combine these ingredients and bring to a boil over medium heat, reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes.

Place eggs and onion into hot jars, pour over hot mixture and seal with hot lids. Let stand a week or so before eating.


NOTE if jars do not seal, eggs will keep in the refigerator for two months.

Thank you for posting your recipes Tamara. I'm going to have to try them out. I have had the plain and the hot, but not the spiced.

I like everything pickled, they just ... look so nice, swimming in their jars.

When I first saw your eggs, I thought they might be something like the German "Soleier", but those are pickled in a brine, not vinegar. Which is why I don't like them much, too salty for me. But I might try your recipes some time. Something to keep in mind for Easter.
