    Default Pickled Eggs

    I made me some this weekend...I had noticed my "penrose" eggs were not refrigerated and 10 yrs. old...The last one I ate tasted well like animal feed. I did not get sick though. So I dumped the rest and gave it a try making my own. I was very pleased they are delicious. Here is recipe.

    24 eggs boiled
    1/3 gallon apple vinegar
    2 spoons cayenne pepper
    2 spoons red pepper
    1 can small whole beets
    1 onion sliced
    3 garlic cloves sliced
    4 spoons salt

    I just added boiled eggs to the heated mix and allowed to cool. Now for my question...Do they have to be refrigerated. I also boiled my jar and lid and made a wax seal. Not much chance they'll last 2 weeks but whats your thoughts on storing these?

    No they don't need to be refrigerated. I like them better if they are, but they do not need to be.

    Any idea on shelflife unrefrigerated and refrigerated?

    No, but based on some of the bars I frequented in my younger days - I'll bet it's a looooooong time.

    I concur....hmmm was it food poisoning or just a hangover? Maybe I just ate too many eggs! Can't be good for the ozone layer either. Biofuel maybe?

    You can add whatever you want...Just realized I left out 4 spoons of salt. From browsing around it is my understanding your good to add anything as long as over 50% is cider vinegar and your eggs are completely covered. Seems some like them sweet....bleeeeeeeeeuuuk!

    I was thinking about some tarragon, thyme and some garlic cloves would go good.

    Cowboy, hold the beets.

    Gryffy, hold the tarragon.

    Add the garlic (you're on track, Gryff) and slice up and add a couple of hot finger peppers. That's how I make my pickled eggs, and I'm gonna' have a couple right now!

    Could even toss in a bit of pickling spice.

    Just returned from the gocery. We ate all of the pickled eggs. I am going to give pickling hotdogs and sausage dogs today! Anyone done this? Starting to get peppers from the garden would like to picle those too..I bought lids and seals for my canning jars...some tips on waterbath canning would also help.
