JALAPENO PICKLED EGGS
This recipe comes from cooks.com. It was submitted by Jo. My husband loves the jalapeno picked eggs we can buy at a local store. They are expensive though so I wanted to see if I could make some up. I couldn't find a recipe like we were looking for here but I did find this one online. He said they are really good. I cut the original recipe in half and added more garlic. We didn't add the hot sauce and he said they didn't need it, they were plenty hot enough without so it is up to how hot you like stuff. Time does not including egg cooking or the marinating for 1 week.

Steps:
- Put peeled eggs in a 2 1/2 quart jar.
- We used a clean leftover dill pickle jar.
- If you use more eggs you will need a bigger jar.
- Boil all ingredients (except eggs, of course) for 15 minutes.
- Pour hot mixture over eggs until eggs are covered.
- Add hot water to jar to fill if needed.
- Marinate in refrigerator for 1 week before using.
- The original recipe had a note that said for a stronger flavor, poke hole in the eggs with a toothpick before marinating.
- We didn't do that so I can't attest to it's results.

I love making and eating these. They will smell up the kitchen though so you might want to make sure your significant other isn't home.

Steps:
- 1. Hard boil the eggs.
- 2. While the eggs are boiling, slice the jalapeno's and onion. Place in pot with water,vinegar,salt and garlic. Set aside.
- 3. After the eggs are boiled place in colander run cold water over them until cool enough to peel. Peel the eggs. I slice the egg in four places about a half an inch long. Place enough eggs in jar to cover the bottom.(about 4or5)
- 4. Bring the pot that you set aside to a boil. Boil for about five minutes. Turn off heat. I like to layer the eggs and onions,jalapeno's. So with a slotted spoon, spoon out some onions and jalapeno's place on the eggs in the bottom of the jar. Add another layer of eggs then onions and jalapenos until eggs and onions and jalapeno's are gone. Place the jar in the sink pour the water, vinegar in the jar leaving about 1/2 inch of head space. Screw lid on tight, let cool then refrigerate. Let sit for about 4 or 5 days. Enjoy!
Tips:
- Choose Fresh Eggs: Opt for fresh, uncracked eggs with clean shells for pickling.
- Hard-Boil the Eggs Properly: Boil the eggs for 10-12 minutes to achieve a firm yolk and easy peeling.
- Use Quality Ingredients: Select high-quality vinegar, spices, and herbs for a flavorful brine.
- Customize the Brine: Adjust the spiciness level by varying the number of jalapeños or using different types of peppers.
- Add Aromatics: Enhance the flavor of the pickled eggs by adding aromatics like garlic, onion, or dill.
- Sterilize the Jars: Properly sterilize the jars and lids in boiling water to prevent contamination.
- Cool and Store Properly: Let the pickled eggs cool completely before refrigerating. Store them in the refrigerator for at least 2 weeks before consuming.
