Steps:
- Put the vinegar, sugar, bay, spices, ½ tbsp salt and 150ml water in a small pan and heat for a few mins until the sugar dissolves. See tip below about adding other flavours and spices. Leave to cool completely while you boil the eggs.
- Bring a large pan of water to the boil, lower in the eggs with a slotted spoon and set a timer for 10 mins. Once the timer goes off, immediately plunge the eggs into ice cold water and leave to cool. Gently tap the eggs on the work surface and peel off the shells.
- Put the boiled eggs in a sterilised jar where they all fit, about 1 litre, and pour over the cooled pickling liquid to cover. Seal and leave in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks, or up to three months. Once opened, keep in the fridge and eat within two weeks.

Tips:
- Use fresh eggs: For the best results, use fresh eggs that are no more than a week old. Older eggs may not pickle properly.
- Choose the right pickling liquid: There are many different recipes for pickled eggs, so you can choose one that suits your taste. Some popular options include vinegar-based, brine-based, and oil-based pickling liquids.
- Infuse the pickling liquid with flavor: You can add herbs, spices, and other flavorings to the pickling liquid to give the eggs a unique flavor. Some popular additions include garlic, dill, mustard seeds, and peppercorns.
- Let the eggs pickle for at least two weeks: The longer the eggs pickle, the more flavor they will develop. However, you can start eating them after just a few days if you prefer.
- Store the pickled eggs in a cool, dark place: Pickled eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to six months. However, they will lose their flavor over time, so it's best to eat them within a few months.
Conclusion:
Pickled eggs are a delicious and versatile snack or appetizer. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little planning, you can enjoy pickled eggs all year long.
