Thanks for sharing. Hot peppers would be good if it isn't too, too hot. Although DH would like the hot peppers hot.

The easiest way to make pickled eggs is to make pickled beets, then just dump the pickled beets over the hard boiled eggs. I make lots of pickled beets, just so I can have pickled eggs anytime I want! I have almost a dozen in the frig right now!! Yum!

I make pickled eggs now for my own family. We absolutely love them.
I use the recipe for pickled beets in the Ball Blue Canning Book. Then hard boil the eggs and put them in with a quart of pickled beets and the beautiful red juice. Leave them sit for a couple days and they are ready to eat. Yum!!!

The recipe I use was my grandmothers and I beleive it was her mothers, my great grandmother (she was Amish).

PICKLED BEETS AND EGGS

1 dozen hardboiled eggs
1 16 oz can beets, sliced or chunked
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup sugar
1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp. celery seed
1/2 tsp. ground cloves

Peel eggs and put into a container that can be sealed, I use a Tupperware bowl. My grandmother used a widemouth glass jar. Drain beet juice into a saucepan, add the vinegar and sugar. Bring to a boil, stirring to disolve the sugar, remove from heat and add the spices. Mix well.

Pour the canned beets over the eggs and the the hot juice over the beets and eggs, refrigerate for 2-3 days.
These are wonderful, I make them about once a month. The eggs really absorb the sweet/sour taste because the juice is hot. It's like putting mayonaise on hot potatoes when making salad. The flavors are much deeper. And the red beets have a marvelous flavor too.

You're welcome, Scrap Happy. If people aren't into eggs or if you need a vegetable recipe for the hot summer ahead, you can just pickle the beets. Do a few cans, they keep for sometime in the fridge and they are also great, chopped, for on salads. These have a taste of Harvard Beets but not the thick sauce.

Yumm! Silly question, the eggs turn purple right? Them with the beets on a salad or even on a plate alone would be so pretty.

The eggs turn more of a very deep rose color, not as dark as beets. I always serve them on a plate with beets in the center.
