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?

Yes, I eat what ever is in the jar then I dunk hard boiled eggs in (shells off). There is vinegar in the jars along with the other ingredients.

I'm a fan of eggs cooked in a number of ways. I especially love a runny yolk. Pickled are a great snack. I have pickled quail eggs in Japan earlier this year. Fantastic.

You don't need to take the shells off - though you do need to use fresh vinegar - the acid removed the shell, calcium acetate is soluble.

If you want to use the coloured and flavoured pickling mixes then just put the eggs into vinegar until they have lost their shells then transfer to the jars to steep for a while.

I used to keep quail and put the boiled eggs into vinegar just to get the shells off, then soak in fresh water for a few hours. The eggs are so small that shelling them was quite a chore.

I am thinking of trying this, although I don't ever remember eating a pickled egg. For those that use leftover pickle juice, do you mix different types or stick to one? I usually have a few types of pickles and olives on hand so have quite a bit of leftovers in this area, but rarely enough to pickle more than an egg or two in a jar from the looks of it.

I combine all sorts of pickle leftovers but not sure I would add olive juices. Pickled beet juice gives the eggs a nice pink color.
