Pickled Eggs?
 

Anyone have an old family recipe for pickled eggs?
I have tried the Google route and can't get them to taste like they did when I was a kid.

I know my Grandma used to make some fantastic pickled eggs - hoping someone else's Grandma also did and you saved the recipe :)

Thanks

I don't have a secret recipe I do have good tip;

Tape your egg cartons shut, put them in the fridge on their sides overnight to center the yolks in your hard boiled eggs.

This is my wife's Grandmother's recipe. They're wicked.

Try a little apple wood smoke before you put them in the brine for something a little different. The light tan color is a bit odd for a pickled egg but the flavor is pretty amazing.

Raw onion rings, peppercorns, few bay leaves, pinch of mustard seeds, couple tbs of white sugar into 50/50 white vinegar and water. Bring to boil, simmer till onions translucent. Let cool

Toss a couple more garlic cloves into the bottom of jar. I add chopped Thai chilies for some zing. (But it takes a few months to get the spice into eggs) You can add red/orange bell pepper slices if you want them to pickle at the same time.

Layer the peeled eggs with the above mixture till filled. Leave refrigerated for 2 weeks min.....that’s the hard part. They get better the long they stay....2 months is great.

Thanks for sharing this.

And let them sit on the counter over night before refrigerating them.

easy pickled eggs
say the pickle juice from your garlic dills add eggs let them soak for 14 days
and you have great pickled eggs

Might sound odd but the type of water you use can make the difference in flavour. I had really good ice cold soft water in my well on the farm and quite a few people would come from as far as 20 miles away to get my water for all their pickling needs, vegetables to eggs to pork hocks. Municipal water doesn't make good pickled anything.

My recipe is nearly identical to airbornedeerhunter's grandmother-in law's and they do come out great. I also like to toss in some beets (and a little beet juice) in as well. If fresh not handy, don't be shy to use a can or jar of pickled ones.

You didn`t hear it from me....

Ingredients:
8 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
1 (12 ounce) jar yellow chile peppers(Italian market style, not peppercini)
2 tablespoons pickling spice
1 cup white wine vinegar
1 1/2 scant cups water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons salt

Directions: Mix all ingredients except eggs together in a glass jar with tight-fitting lid. Put peeled eggs in liquid. Don’t refrigerate. Keep eggs in sealed jar at least two days before using. May refrigerate after two days.

Joe Jost bar in Long Beach Ca, PBR on tap, boiled hotdogs on wonder bread and over 1000,000 of these eggs served. Google it. One of the best dive bars EVER.

This thread has reminded me to make another batch of pickled eggs and sausages! I also add sliced white onions to the mixture.

Friend's recipe
 

My buddy's wife makes pickled eggs for us and they are fantastic!

Brine:
2 cups Vinegar
3 cups Sugar
3 cups water

Wrap in cheesecloth:
1 tsp salt
1 tsp allspice
1 tsp cloves
Tie up spices in the cheesecloth, add it to the brine in a big pot and bring to a boil for 5 minutes.

Put boiled eggs / sliced onion / ham sausage / etc... in brine.
Add a handful (to taste) of peeled garlic to brine.
Store in refrigerator for 2 weeks and it's good to go.

Double/Triple batch if you want to make large quantities.

That works very well, I always bring the juice to a boil but honestly I don't know if it makes a difference. We get lots of pickle juice at work so it's quick and easy, the recipes posted (especially a grandma's) look good.

Mmmmmmm pickled sausage... Also have to make some of those!

I'd better go buy some vinegar as it looks like I will be busy!

Thanks everyone so far - keep 'em coming!

The best pickled eggs are farm eggs that the chickens run loose. The yoke have such a natural taste. Note fresh eggs should be put aside in the fridge for at least 14 days, the reason for this is the egg shell will peal nice. The boiled brine's are the best but when I fill my jars I put a layer of eggs, raw onion rings,layer of eggs, raw onion rings until the jar is full. Strain your brine if you leave your mixed spice loose in your mixture. Dont get to fancy with your brine just be simple. One note is your eggs could turn brown due to the spice. Put your jar in the back of the fridge so your friends dont see them.

We have coturnix quail, small bite size eggs (4-5 to one regular egg). They are awesome pickled I found a good recipe and tweaked it a bit.

1 cup vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 tsp salt / 2 tsp sugar
1 tsp pickling spice
1/2 tsp peppercorns

I added chili flakes (not measured) and onions, boil for couple minutes to make brine. I let sit overnight on counter then in fridge for 10 days - they are prime at 2 weeks.

doubled it for 1l jar and tweaked quantities up/down a bit and will fit 60-65 eggs!

20 miles away?

That's a long way!

pm jack&7. He is the pickled eggs king.

My gf just made me 8 this evening. Just vinegar and a bit of water. Nothing fancy but good to my taste.

The Chlorine in town water makes dill pickles soft, a lot of pickers don't know this. Good proven well water with the natural mineral is the best.

How long do you smoke them ?
