Dark Cloud Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 Quite a few recipes have floated around here. Figured I'd share mine. 18 eggs - I say 18 because this recipe fits in a half gallon container nicely. 1 can of beets - I like to use "whole small beets". Last summer I used 4 good sized fresh beets from dads garden boiled till slightly softened then sliced. In a pot bring just to a boil the following... 2 cups water 2 cups white vinegar 1/2 cup sugar 1/4 tsp granulated garlic or a few cloves sliced up 2 tsp pickling spice 3 tsp salt a few onion slices or one small onion sliced Let the mixture cool a tad then combine with the cooked and peeled eggs plus the beets and juice - a half gallon container fits nicely. Refridgerate and wait 3-4 days, enjoy... Egg cooking tip -after they come to a boil, clock em boiling for 11 min then directly into an ice bath. Try and crack each egg a tad when putting into the bath. Wait 15 min and they should peel good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
