Pickled EGGS??

[NDSUski]

After looking at the old posts from this site I am just getting done with my first jar of pickled eggs and was wondering if I can just reuse the brine again? Can I just add more eggs and let sit for a few weeks or do I need to make new brine for a new batch? Is there any other use for this stuff or should I just throw it out? Any help would be great.

I've reused brine before, If you find this unappealing, throw it out. I know not of another use for it. It may weaken as the spices get older, Brent

This is a great one. I can't take credit for it, the recipe is from Betty's Bar in Turtle River ND.

Enjoy!

4 doz. Hard boiled eggs

1 large onion sliced

2 or 3 jalapeño peppers

25 chili peppers

Bring To a Boil:

5 Cups of white vinegar

2 heaping Tblsp white sugar

1 heaping Tblsp salt

1/2 Tblsp garlic juice (mince half a bulb of garlic and let sit in cup of water over night)

Once you bring to a boil, pour mixture over the eggs and let sit a few days.

You can adjust your batch size accordingly

NDSUski,

I have made fresh brine and used it twice. It was not as good the second time around.

I started making pickled eggs out of the brine after I emptied a couple jars of pickled Northern. It gave me a great second use for the brine before tossing it out.

If anyone is wondering how many eggs will fit in a given jar. I've been able to get 14 to 18 extra large eggs in a 2 Quart jar. The jar was just under half full of brine before I started filling it with eggs.

I wish I was at home a pickled egg is sounding good at the moment.
