Ingredients
For the Eggs:
- 12 large eggs
For the Pickling Brine:
- 3 cups white vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1 medium onion thinly sliced
- 2 cloves garlic peeled and crushed
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 tablespoon pickling spice
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon turmeric optional, for color
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes optional, for heat
Instructions
Prepare the Eggs:
- Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover with water.
- Bring to a boil over medium heat. Once boiling, remove from heat, cover, and let sit for 10-12 minutes.
- Transfer the eggs to an ice bath to cool, then peel them.
Prepare the Pickling Brine:
- In a medium saucepan, combine the white vinegar, water, sliced onion, crushed garlic, sugar, pickling spice, salt, turmeric, and crushed red pepper flakes.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat and allow the brine to cool slightly.
Assemble the Pickled Eggs:
- Place the peeled eggs into a clean, sterilized quart-sized jar or a similar airtight container.
- Pour the warm pickling brine over the eggs, ensuring they are fully submerged.
- If necessary, place a clean weight or a folded cabbage leaf on top to keep the eggs submerged.
Pickling Process:
- Seal the jar tightly and let it cool to room temperature.
- Once cooled, refrigerate the jar.
- Allow the eggs to pickle for at least 3-7 days before consuming; the longer they sit, the more pronounced the flavor.
Notes
- Flavor Variations: Feel free to adjust the spices to your preference. Adding fresh dill, jalapeño slices, or mustard seeds can introduce different flavor profiles.
- Storage: Keep the pickled eggs refrigerated at all times. They can be stored safely in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.
- Serving Suggestions: Enjoy these pickled eggs as a snack, slice them onto salads, or serve them alongside cold cuts and cheeses for a pub-style platter.
