Another Attempt at the Pickled Eggs!!!

[redhen]

hi..they look yummy!!

..can you guys tell me the ratio for the vinegar/water..etc..?..thanks alot, Wendy

 

[hypnofrogstevie]

There reallly is no ratio. If you like really sour pickled eggs like we do. we do more vinegar then water. do a taste test. If you want to get extra flavor out of the garlic and onions. Boil the vinegar and water with the onions, garlic, beets, salt and pepper in a sauce pan.

okay thanks...when my girls start to lay i'll be making them!..

..if i use the beet juice for color..will they have a beet taste?...i cant take beets..

..or will it just give color?..thanks, Wendy

The vinegar overpowers the beets. I think I saw someone use food coloring to give them a neat color (blue pickled eggs) Yum!

Just buy a LARGE jar of HOT peppers, then when the peppers are gone, put the juice in a bowl, fill the jar with peeled eggs, get the juice boiling and fill jar to the top. Also works with Red Hot Sausage juice, and you get the benefit of eating a jar full of Sausage before you get to eat the eggs.

Well, we tried two eggs yesterday and they were a bit sour on the outsdie and plain on the inside. The vinegar hadn't soaked through to the inside...after 22 days!!! No wonder they can be stored for 5 months in the frig!! I used apple cider vinegar and would not think that would make them sharp, my guess would be that white vinegar would be sharper but maybe not? Anyone else tyr this when I did and get a dif. result? They are not bad, they are are just not great. Maybe another couple of weeks?

Well, I tried mine later than you, but I am seeing the same thing you are.....sour on the outside, plain on the inside and I (so far) don't like the flavor. I actually felt a need to apologize to my hens for wasting their eggs. LOL My middle son is complaining "look at how many deviled eggs that would have been MOM".

Oh well, they look kinda interesting sitting in the fridge!!!! LOL

You could always compromise, and make deviled pickled eggs.
