PIERRE'S BLACK EGGS
I love pickles. You name them and I'm in the front of the crowd, cheering. Pickled anything but I really love pickled eggs and I'm constantly experimenting with them. I was talking to Keith, a pub buddy, about pickles and we got on the subject of vinegar and he said balsamic vinegar and the light bulbs went off. Quick, to the files, research pickled eggs, download several recipes, think about it for a while, run off a few test batches, adjust the flavor a few times and you wind up here, Pierre's Black Eggs.

PIERRE'S HOT & TANGY PICKLED EGGS
I have a thing for good pickles, of any and all sorts, eggs being one of them. I've been playing around with pickled egg recipes for years. This is my favorite. No one really creats a recipe. We all borrow (steal) a bit from this one and a little from that. It does however boost the ego to call the end result 'mine' even if that is not exactly the truth. I've carefully filed the serial numbers off so I can safely say this one is 'mine'. .
