a whole new direction to go with egg preparation

[Guest guest]

This would totally work for surgery or car trips or summer easy eating

not sure how they taste

i'll have to work on what spices i would want to use

any ideas?

there's a bar down the block that always has free pickled eggs on the

bar

Pickled Eggs

Pickled eggs, while a favorite bar snack, in this country and others,

also make a great way to use up leftover Easter Eggs. You can really

use any color peppercorns, but using white gives the eggs a better

appearance. The small amount of turmeric give the eggs a wonderful

golden color.

crafts and features.

12 hard boiled eggs, peeled

1 T kosher salt

1 1/2 C cider vinegar

1/2 C water

1 1/2 tsp. sugar (OR SPLENDA)

1 tsp. white peppercorns, crushed

1/2 tsp. crushed allspice

1/2 tsp. ground turmeric

1/4 tsp. celery seeds

2 shallots, thinly sliced

Makes 1 Dozen Pickeled Eggs

Take a fork and gently pierce each egg through the white to the yolk

about 6 times, but leaving the whole egg intact. Pack the eggs into a

clean 1 quart jar.

Combine the remaining ingredients in a non-reactive saucepan and

bring to a boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for about 15 minutes.

Let liquid cool for about 10-15 minutes.

Pour liquid over eggs in jar, tightly cap jar and refrigerate. It

will take about a week for the eggs to absorb the flavorings and they

will keep, refrigerated, for several weeks.
