Whats the best vinger for picked quail eggs?

For nutrition, raw apple cider vinegar like Braggs brand. If you want a clear brine, distilled white vinegar. I use the white vinegar on my chive blossom vinegar because it turns a pretty purple color. It looks horrible when I use raw vinegar, but it tastes great.
 
Plecostrum, I usually use whatever I have around to make my pickling brine. I use about 1/2 cup (of 5% acidity) vinegar per pint, a clove of garlic, some dillweed or seed, and that's all you really need. You can add peppercorns, bay leaves, mustard seeds, beets (for color), onion, or anything else you have around. Fill your jar with the seasonings, eggs, and vinegar, top it off with hot water, tighten the lid, and let them marinate for at least a week in the fridge.
Also, when I'm feeling lazy, I just throw some boiled quail eggs in a jar of leftover commercial pickle juice - Delicious!

One of the recipes I use is from Northwest Gamebirds at buycoturnixquail.com but I changed the recipe cause I like more Dill. And thought the recipe very mild.

To their recipe I Add:
1 teaspoon dill seed to the brine and about a 1/2 teason to each jar.
1 Tbsp dry Mustard
instead of onionjuice I add a couple of Tbsps chopped onion or slices.
6 sliced up/or halved cloves of garlic instead of the minced garlic.
1 dried or fresh hot pepper to each jar - sometimes, sometimes not

I use oddball jars for mine and do 100 eggs at a time so can't tell you how many to a pint or anything.

Do a search here for pickled quail eggs, there's several out there and they are really good. Have fun experimenting. I do.
