Pickled eggs

Here is how I do it. None of the measurements are precise....
1. Boil eggs, then fill pot with ice water and let sit for a few minutes. Makes the eggs easier to peel. Peel the eggs and place in glass jar. I also poke a hole in them with a toothpick or fork so that they marinate better throughout.
2. In another pot put:
# 2 cups vinegar
#1 small sliced onion
#2 teaspoons salt
a good bit of black pepper
# 4 or 5 garlic cloves crushed
#1 jar of jalapenos and the liquid they come with
some Cayenne Peppers
some mustard seeds.
Get all of this boiling and simmer for 10-15 minutes. (Note: Do not boil the eggs.) Then, pour the contents over the eggs. If they are not completely covered, add hot water until they are. I also like to take a package of hotdogs, cut the dogs in half, and add them as well.
Every evening for about three weeks, I turn the jar over for a second to agitate everything that is settled to the bottom so that it will remain suspended in the liquid.Last edited by bobc; 12-08-2016, 01:37 PM.

Love me some pickled eggs. This is the way I do it:
Ingredients
• 2 dozen hard boiled eggs, peeled
• 1 large onion, sliced
• 6 whole jalepenos
• 2 cloves garlic, cut in half
• 2 bay leaf
• 2 Tbsp. mixed picking spice
• 2 tsp. red pepper flakes
• 4 Tbsp. pickling salt
• 4 cups vinegar
• 2 cups water
Combine vinegar and salt and spices in a sauce pan and heat until boiling. Turn heat down and simmer 10 minutes.
Layer eggs, onions and jalapenos in jar.
Pour hot vinegar carefully over eggs. (cover eggs completely, adding cold vinegar if necessary.)
Place lid on jar and allow to come to room temperature.
Refrigerate for 4 days before using.
