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.

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:
- Combine red beets, vinegar and sugar in a pan.
- Stir and heat just enough to dissolve the sugar.
- Add the eggs and refrigerate at least one hour (I prefer overnight).
Tips:
- Choose the right beets: Look for beets that are small to medium in size and have a deep red color. Avoid beets that have blemishes or bruises.
- Prepare the beets properly: Trim the tops and roots of the beets. Scrub the beets well to remove any dirt or debris. Cut the beets into 1-inch cubes.
- Cook the beets until tender: There are several ways to cook beets. You can boil them, steam them, or roast them. Beets are done cooking when they are easily pierced with a fork.
- Make a flavorful marinade: The marinade is what will give the eggs their delicious flavor. Be sure to use a flavorful combination of ingredients, such as vinegar, sugar, salt, and spices.
- Marinate the eggs for at least 24 hours: The longer the eggs marinate, the more flavorful they will be. However, you can marinate them for as little as 4 hours if you are short on time.
- Serve the eggs chilled: Red beet eggs are best served chilled. This will help to enhance their flavor and make them more refreshing.
Conclusion:
Red beet eggs are a delicious and easy-to-make appetizer or side dish. They are perfect for any occasion, from casual gatherings to holiday parties. With their vibrant color and unique flavor, red beet eggs are sure to be a hit with your guests. So next time you are looking for a new and exciting recipe, give red beet eggs a try.
