PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH RED BEET EGGS AND PICKLED BEETS
These are simple to make and my family's favorite. We prefer these because they use less sugar than some other recipes and no brown sugar at all. I never cared for beets until I tried these. From my Best-Loved Pennsylvania Dutch Recipes booklet that, sadly, is falling apart page-by-page. The longer they marinate, the redder the eggs become. Great in salads and a beautiful decoration on any platter. NOTE: Prep time does not include hard-boiling eggs or marinating time. 09/16/07 - There are two basic types of red beet eggs and this is my favorite. If you use cider vinegar and add cloves, cinnamon and allspice these become more like spiced apples and closer to recipe #86599. Since these spices can trigger my asthma, I find this simple recipe perfect.

THE MAMA'S PA DUTCH RED BEETS & EGGS
I saw another recipe posted for this and when I made it, it was a little different than the one my Mama always made. So I called her and this is what she told me was in her original recipe. It tasted just the way I remembered. And before you start critiquing, this recipe was not meant to have cinnamon and allspice in it. It's just a simple, quick way that I was taught to make red beet eggs and I was told that this is the "Central PA Dutch" version, not the Amish version. I don't know the difference, but these are fantastic. Hope you enjoy! (COOK TIME DOES NOT INCLUDE OVERNIGHT REFRIGERATION)

Steps:
- Place hard-boiled eggs in the bottom of a 3 quart (or bigger) plastic container that can be sealed with a lid (we use a Tupperware container).
- Open the cans of beets and drain the juice into a medium saucepan. Dump the beets into the container on top of the eggs.
- Add the sugar and vinegar to the beet juice. Heat the saucepan on the stove over Medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved (about 10 minutes) but DO NOT BOIL.
- Pour the beet juice over the eggs and beets in the container.
- Cover and refrigerate overnight before serving to allow the juice to soak into the eggs and sweeten the beets.
- NOTE: My Mama's rule of thumb on the measurements for this recipe is to use 1/3 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of vinegar for EACH 14.5 oz can of beets that you are planning to use. Adjust the amount of eggs to your liking, but make sure that there is enough juice to cover the beets AND eggs.
PICKLED RED BEET EGGS
My Pennsylvania Dutch grandmother, Florence Walter, used to make these. They are especially great for picnics. The combination of pickled eggs, beets, and onions is really something special. A great way to use up left-over Easter-eggs too!

Steps:
- Combine reserved beet liquid, sugar, vinegar, peppercorns and allspice in medium nonaluminum saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring until sugar dissolves; remove from heat. Add eggs and onion and turn to coat completely. Add beets. Cover pan and refrigerate until eggs are deep pink color, turning occasionally, about 8 hours. (Can be prepared 2 days ahead.)
- Drain juices. Cut eggs lengthwise in half. Arrange beets and onion on plate. Top with eggs and serve.
Tips:
- Use the freshest eggs possible for pickling. Fresh eggs will have a stronger flavor and will keep better in the pickling solution.
- Hard-boil the eggs for exactly 10 minutes. This will ensure that the eggs are cooked through but still have a slightly runny yolk.
- Use a variety of spices and herbs to flavor the pickling solution. Common spices used in pickled eggs include mustard seeds, dill, garlic, and peppercorns. You can also add herbs like bay leaves, thyme, and oregano.
- Let the eggs pickle for at least 2 weeks before eating them. This will allow the flavors of the pickling solution to fully penetrate the eggs.
- Store the pickled eggs in a cool, dark place. They will keep for up to 3 months.
Conclusion:
Pickled eggs are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or appetizer. They are also a great way to use up leftover hard-boiled eggs. With a variety of spices and herbs to choose from, you can easily customize the flavor of your pickled eggs to suit your taste. So next time you have a dozen eggs on hand, try pickling them! You won't be disappointed.
