Time P1DT3h20m

Yield 12 pickled eggs

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/4 cups distilled white vinegar
Kosher salt
1 tablespoon coriander seeds
1 tablespoon yellow mustard seeds
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 small yellow or white onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 to 1 Fresno or other hot red chile, thinly sliced

Tips from 9 inner celery ribs
6 sprigs dill

Steps:

Close the jars, let cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.

PERFECT PICKLED EGGS



Perfect Pickled Eggs image

Perfect pickled eggs every time. A nice clean, store-bought look too! I often add a jar of these in my gift baskets. If you follow the directions, you should get a perfect peel every time. I buy organic, fresh eggs, hot-off-the-chicken from a local farmer in the morning and have jars of pickled eggs in the afternoon!

Categories     Very Low Carbs

Time 30m

Yield 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

12 eggs, large
1 1/2 cups white vinegar
1 1/2 cups water
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
2 garlic cloves, peeled, whole
2 bay leaves
1 tablespoon salt
3/4 cup white vinegar
water for boiling the egg

Steps:

  • Using an egg piercing tool or a needle, poke a hole in each egg shell at the fat/wide bottom of the egg. That is where the air sack is and by poking that hole the air is able to escape as it expands when it gets hot and you will avoid those ugly cracked boiled eggs.
  • Add water and 1 TBL salt to a large pot and bring to a rapid boil. Use enough water so the eggs will be covered when added to the pot.
  • Once boiling, pour approximately 3/4 cup of vinegar to the water. The salt and the vinegar will not effect the taste of the eggs in any way, they are just to facilitate the peeling of the eggs.
  • Immediately start GENTLY dropping the eggs into the pot, being careful not to crack the shells.
  • bring back to a boil and boil for 15 minutes.
  • Drain and dump the eggs into a large pot of ice water. I use a large salad bowl for this.
  • Once rapidly cooled down, crack shells and you should get a perfect peel.
  • In the mean time, in a medium pot, mix together the vinegar, water,& 1 1/2 tsp salt, bay leaf and garlic.
  • Bring to a boil over medium heat, lower temperature, cover& simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Transfer the eggs to sterile containers, fill with hot vinegar mixture& seal.
  • Allow to cool& then refrigerate for at least 2 weeks before serving.

SUPER EASY PICKLED EGGS



Super Easy Pickled Eggs image

Tasty pickled eggs that are easy to assemble in half an hour with only 4 ingredients! Learned from my friend Simone. They must be stored in the fridge at all times - this is not a canning recipe.

Provided by EGull

Categories     Lunch/Snacks

Time 30m

Yield 12 eggs

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 dozen egg
1 cup white vinegar
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 tablespoon pickling spices

Steps:

  • Hard-boil the eggs (takes about 15 minutes) then drain and re-fill the pot with cold water.
  • While the eggs are cooling, place remaining ingredients in a small sauce pan on high heat. Heat to low boil, then simmer on low heat for 3 minutes.
  • While the pickling solution is simmering, peel the eggs and place in a 1 quart mason jar. Don't worry if an egg sticks above the jar rim slightly - they squish down.
  • Pour the pickling solution into the jar. Since the eggs will float up to the top, make sure the jar is filled up to the rim with pickling solution to minimize air up there. If you don't have enough pickling solution, add 1 tablespoon of vinegar and 1 tablespoon of sugar until it is up to the rim.
  • Set on counter to cool to room temperature, then label with the date and place in the refrigerator.
  • Wait 2 weeks for the eggs to pickle thoroughly before eating. Keep them in the fridge and try to eat them within 2 months (after that they are still edible, but rubbery in texture).
