Mine look gross.
I used leftover dill pickle juice from a jar of pickles, and mixed in some beet juice from a can or two of beets. I THINK that's what Mom told me to do. I just put in the peeled, hard boiled eggs.
But they just don't look appetizing. Shouldn't they be bright purple? How long should they "pickle?"
This sounded so simple, and I love pickled eggs, but I don't know if I can be brave enough to try these. Don't laugh! Did I do something wrong?

I've never made them this way - we usually just make pickled beets, and then if we want pickled eggs we open the jar, drop some hard boiled eggs and wait a few days - a week is good if you want them pink/purple all the way through to the center.

Erin, I have a pickled egg recipe I really like. One is for regular pickled eggs the other for mustard pickled eggs. I can email it to you or put it here if you like. It consists mostly of pickled beets, vinegar, sugar and spices. They need to pickle for about 3 days. They are really good and I didn't even know I like pickled eggs!

I poke holes in the hard boiled eggs with a toothpick before pickling to let the pickle mixture get in. I make my own pickle juice, I have never tried to use leftover juice.

Here is the Recipe for Pickled Eggs and Mustard Eggs. I got it at Shady Maple Market from Sauder eggs.
RED BEET PICKLED EGGS
1 and 1/2 c red beet juice or 2-14 oz cans red beets with juice 2 c. apple cider vinegar 1 and 1/2 c sugar 1/2 t cinnamon 2 bay leaves (optional) 8 hard boiled eggs, peeled
Mix beets and juice, sugar and spices. Slightly heat mixure to speed pickling process. Pour over eggs. Add warm water to cover eggs. Refrigerate for 2-3 days until whites of eggs have absorbed the color
MUSTARD PICKLE EGGS
1 and 1/2 c vinegar 1 cup sugar 2 T. dry mustard 1 T. Garlic powder 1 T. Onion powder 1/2 t. salt 1/2 t. yellow food color (optional) 8 hard boiled eggs, peeled
Mix all ingredients and pour over eggs. Let eggs set in pickling mixure, refrigerated for 3-4 days to reach full flavor. To speed marinating, heat mixture before pouring over eggs.
Apparently, this is the first time I REALLY looked at the Mustard recipe. I have always just added the spices to the first recipe and refrigerated. Also, I never added water to cover. I just shook them when I opened the refrigerator.
Let me know what you think.

I also reuse the juice several times. I just reheat and add eggs and refrigerate.

I never tried it with cucumbers, but I will now! I learn so many cool things from my farmgirl sisters.

I like to collect those small Pa Dutch cookbooks that used to be sold in gift shops, originally printed by a company in Reading. The older ones are filled with historical bits. This is the version that I use-- 1/3 cup brown sugar, 3/4 cup vinegar, pinch of salt, small piece of stick cinnamon, 3-4 whole cloves, juice from can of beets. Boil for 10 minutes, then pour over drained beets and store refrigerated for 3 days.
I usually make a double batch and put it into a quart size wide mouth canning jar with a small amount of sliced onion and five hard boiled eggs.
The cold beets are good with a hearty sandwich. |

I make my own pickled beets and just use the juice from them. I usually make them in a gallon jar, use about 2 dozen eggs I add vinegar, water and sugar and spices. Give them a swirl every now and then, and then enjoy!! Of course I use my own eggs too. :) Oh, and sometimes I add an onion sliced into rings. Yum!
