Pickled Eggs Recipe

3 Dozen (36) large eggs
4 cups white vinegar
4 Tablespoons sugar
1 Cup water
2 Tablespoons salt
2 chili peppers (optional)
2-3 Tablespoons pickling spice
3 white onions, sliced

Baking Equipment Needed

Large Saucepan
Gallon glass jar with screw on lid

Instructions:

Step 1: Prepare the eggs as you would for hard cooked eggs, boiling for 10 minutes. You may have to boil the eggs in three batches, if you do not have a big enough pot. Cool and peel eggs.

Step 2: In a large saucepan, combine the white vinegar, sugar, water, and salt. Bring to a boil and boil about 10 minutes.

Step 3: Layer the eggs, chili peppers, and sliced onion into your gallon glass jar.

Step 4: Place pickling spice in the center of a cheesecloth square and tie securely to make a bag. Add the spice bag to the jar.

Step 5: Pour the boiling liquid over the top of the eggs into the jar. Fill to within 1-inch of the top of the jar. Do not overfill. Discard any remaining liquid.

Step 6: Cover top of jar with wax paper and screw lid on tightly.

Step 7: Let stand for at least 4-5 days before eating.

Pickled eggs are much better if you let them stand about 2 weeks. Will keep for about a month. Makes 36 eggs.
