One of my relatives used to make them, and I loved them, but I can't remember if she used straight vinegar, or a vinegar/water mix.
I'm from WV and our family always makes pickled eggs w/beats for all holidays. I live in VA now and my 7 yr old DGS will all of a sudden say, GiGi will you make me some pickled eggs. He loves them. I boil my eggs as usual, heat the vinegar and put pickling spices in it and a can of beats and then add the eggs. If you add the eggs when vinegar is hot then they pickle faster. You can keep them on the counter for about 2 days other than that I put them in the fridge. They don't last to long to tell you max shelf life. They also make awesome deviled eggs too.
