What made you happy today?

Seeing one of my favourite cousins again after 10 years.

He came over from MO to help us clean up tornado damage.

They are one egg, one bite. Quail eggs end up being a lot more flavourful because they're smaller. You can ask @Kiki and @Treehugger568 how my pickled eggs taste.

It's funny. The first time I tried pickling quail eggs, I wasn't sure if I'd like them, and I really did. I handed one to a friend, and the look he gave me said, "I'm only going to eat this because you're my friend" I watched his expression change completely, then he took the rest of the jar home to polish off that evening.

I would pay to try your pickled quail eggs

A nap made me happy today. After a poor night's sleep, I really needed it. It put my day about 2 hours behind, but since it rained off and on until 3 pm, I just puttered around inside anyway.

There's no gluten in pickled eggs. I prefer beet pickled eggs but there are many other kinds.

I have to make some. I like sweet pickles and dill pickles. Which flavor profile works better for eggs, or does it just come down to preference?

Preference of the one dining or the one making them. My version is simple. I use pickled beets but you can start with regular canned beets. The brine is equal parts by volume of water, white vinegar and sugar. For example one cup water, one cup vinegar and one cup of sugar. Bring to a boil.

Place beets and shelled hard boiled eggs in a canning jar and fill with the hot brine. Seal with lid and ring. Refrigerate and let stand for a minimum of one day, longer gives the brine more time to penetrate the eggs.

Is the beet for flavor or color? I'm not particularly fond of beets... Yellow beets are ok.

Both. Pickled beets taste nothing like regular cooked beets. Lots of people that don't like cooked beets like pickled beets.

I was just talking to my neighbor a couple of days ago. He is planting beets. He said I really don't care for beets but those pickled beets are so good.

 

[Sally PB]

Just to be sure I have this... You put the peeled hard boiled eggs and RAW beets in the brine?

This is starting to sound good.
