"I have enjoyed many the pickled egg but this is the one that best be in my fridge come holiday time! This is a very old recipe and one that is the favourite at our house. Best made three or four days before you intend to serve them. Easy,cook and peel the number of eggs you plan to make, place in jar ( I like to use pretty pickle jars) prepare enough brine to cover. Like I said - easy!"

Step by Step Method

Cook and peel eggs, place in large clean jar or in quart jars

Step 2

Place brine ingredients vinegar, sugar, pickling spice, salt, bay leaves in pot over medium heat bring to boiling point, cool slightly

Step 3

Pour over eggs,making enough brine to cover eggs. Keep refrigerated

Step 4

If some members of the family like them spiced up you may add slices of sweet white onion or a few slices of jalapeno pepper - or both! NOTE: I love pickled eggs, when making for just me I have been adding an extra half cup of sugar which allows them to stay as when first made.

I made these a few days ago and are they ever wonderful! Just the right amount of pickling spice as to not overwhelm, like some others I have tried. These have flavour and not a vinegary taste which we love. Thank you Gerry for another recipe that will be a go to for me! Made for Billboard Recipe Tag.

made these as directed and they turned out perfectly. I let them sit for a week before trying them. Made for the Alphabet Soup Recipe Tag Game.
