Pickled egg recipes?

[chcknrs]

I do the pickled eggs in the pickle jar/leftover pickle juice. I have never poked them, but had to let them set for about 2 weeks. I'm gonna try the poke thingy.

As for the eggs being hard when you pickle, that is how they are supposed to be. If they got softer I don't think I'd eat them.

Yes, Southernsibe, you're missing out!

Harvard beets are vinegar, sugar, salt and yes, they are thickened a little usually. And, yes, served warm, unlike other pickled beets.

Maybe you will come across pickled eggs. We had a little store which sold pickled eggs near the counter. They were unbelieveable! But some are better than others, so don't judge by just one type/recipe.

Since I read this thread I've been looking at recipes on the web for pickled eggs. There are literally hundreds of sites, but the variations are pretty much the same. One thing that caught my eye was a comment. It said that if you put the eggs in the jar, then pour the juice over it while still hot you will avoid the rubbery problem. Not sure if that has merit or not, but I thought I would share.

I have an excess of bantam eggs, and my kids love dill pickles, so, I am going to use some of that juice and those eggs as a test run.

Do I have to fill the jar up with juice and or eggs or is it alright to leave some air?

Thanks

Hi there, you have to have enough juice in the jar to cover the eggs completely, other than that it doesn't really matter.

One thing I've read about 'rubbery' pickled eggs is that the rubbery-ness (

) is caused by the vinegar. Just dilute the vinegar with some water and you shouldn't have that problem.

This is the one that I really like. I do use ACV instead of white.

I know this is an old thread but I really want a VERY basic recipe for pickled eggs. I am wondering if anyone has tried heating up the juice from pickles and pouring it over the eggs back into the pickle jar?

I am wondering if heating up the pickle juice would help keep the eggs soft instead of rubbery?
