Description

For all your pickling needs. These are great as a bright and colorful addition to salads.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup Beets, Peeled And Cooked In Their Liquid
  • 6 whole Eggs, Hard Boiled And Peeled
  • ½ whole Small Onion Or 2 Small Shallots, Thinly Sliced
  • ½ cups Cider Vinegar
  • ½ cups White Vinegar
  • ¼ cups Sugar
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher Salt
  • 1 teaspoon Mustard Seed
  • 1 clove Garlic, Crushed

Preparation

1. Drain the beets, reserving the liquid. There should be 1 cup of liquid left. If too much has evaporated, simply add water. Put the eggs, beets, and onion in 1 large jar.

2. Combine the beet liquid, vinegars, sugar, salt, mustard seed and garlic in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and simmer for 3-4 minutes to dissolve the sugar completely.

3. Pour the hot brine over the contents of the jar to cover. Cool to room temperature and seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 1 week before serving.

Tip 1: For perfect hard boiled eggs, place them in a pot of cold water and bring the water to a boil. Once the water begins to boil, reduce the heat to a simmer and time 8-10 minutes more. Remove from the heat and run under cold water until they’re at room temperature.

Tip 2: To cook the beets, peel them and quarter them. If the beet is large, cut it into eighths. Place them in a small pot and add water two inches above the beets. Cover and simmer until fork tender.

My Gran used to make these too! I’ve never really cared for beets, but for some reason liked those purple eggs.

This reminds me of my grandmother….she always made these with the left over hard boiled from Easter. I love them and the pickled beets. I can’t wait for our beets to come up in the garden.

I made these pickled beet eggs for a father’s day gift for my father-in-law, and he thought they were to die for. He had eaten about two jars worth in as many days!

I had to increase the quantity of the pickling liquid, as compared to the eggs, beets, and onions, but that was probably just me.

Thanks for the recipe, Georgia!
