Pickled eggs

**be da veva** · 20th December 12, 10:50 AM

I've started eating eggs about 13 years ago. And then it's mostly scrambled (or omelet) and hard-boiled.
About the same time I startd eating eggs, a rugby club from Toronto that was touring in Montreal, introduced me to pickled eggs in beets vinegar. I really liked it and quickly shared the recipe with my family. Over time, this came to pass. For some reason, for the last year I've been collecting the leftover marinades and simply dunked in some eggs. It's a fun way to recycle....

How do you like your pickled eggs?

Same thing -- just keep a big jar in the fridge and add leftover juices from any pickles/beets. Top up with hard-boiled eggs as they get used. I do put a date on the top so I can occasionally refresh the entire jar, not sure if that's necessary but I don't like the looks of sludge that eventually builds up on the bottom. . .

I'm excited to try this! I chow my way through 25-30 eggs in a typical week, but I can't say I've ever had a pickled egg. When I do it, I'm leaving the sludge. Everything tastes better with a little bit o' sludge. And it's a fun word to say:

"What is this slimy, snotty, briny bit of awesomeness?!"

"Sludge."

See?

Yes, but there's a very fine line between sludge and slurry.

Never thought of mixing the different juices..... will try that, thanks.

But I do change it often as I find that the taste simply vanishes with time. My big fun is also to see what color I can get.
With the pickled onion juice,the eggs came out looking cappuchino.... My girls have great time eating different colored and flavored eggs.

I like my eggs in their original condition.

As in not pickled!

I've had them pickled in malt vinegar and white vinegar... Never heard of pickle juice or beet juice.

So you just eat the claussen pickles, then dunk the shelled hard boiled eggs in? How long do they have to wait? Is pickle juice vinegar?
