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:
- Drain liquid from the beets into saucepan. Place beets, onions, and eggs into a large bowl or pitcher.
- Pour sugar and vinegar into the saucepan with the beet liquid and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer 15 minutes.
- Pour the beet juice mixture over the beets, eggs, and onions. Seal the bowl or pitcher and refrigerate. Refrigerate for at least one to 3 days; the longer they are allowed to sit the better they will taste.

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.

Steps:
- Hardboil the 12 eggs; cool and peel.
- While hard boiled eggs are cooling, boil the undrained can of red beets with the water, cider vinegar, brown sugar and onion in a medium saucepan. Boil for 10 minutes.
- Pour beet mixture over the peeled eggs and refrigerate at least 8 hours or overnight.
Tips:
- For the best pickled red beet eggs, use fresh, hard-boiled eggs. Older eggs may not peel as easily and may have a less vibrant color.
- To make peeling the eggs easier, place them in a bowl of ice water immediately after boiling. Let them cool for at least 5 minutes before peeling.
- Use a variety of beets to create different colors and flavors of pickled eggs. Red beets are the most common, but you can also use golden beets or Chioggia beets.
- Beets can also be cooked in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. To cook beets, wrap them in foil and bake at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for about 1 hour or until tender.
- The pickling liquid can be reused multiple times. Simply add new eggs and beets to the jar and cover with the pickling liquid. The eggs will be ready to eat in about 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Pickled red beet eggs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or snack. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they also make a great gift. With a little planning, you can enjoy pickled red beet eggs all year long.
