Pickled eggs


16 Hard boiled eggs (10 minutes)
1 quart Vinegar
1/2 oz Black Peppercorns
1/2 oz Allspice
1/2 oz Ginger (Whole)

It is important to use a Stainless steel pan. Do NOT use copper or aluminium. Do not use metal lids on the jars


Method:-
Remove eggshells and place eggs in wide - necked jars,
Boil the peppercorns, spice and ginger in the vinegar for 10 minutes, pour it,while boiling hot, over the eggs.
When cold cover closely and store in a cool dry place.
These are ready for use in about a fortnight and are delicious when eaten with cold meat or cheese.

That sounds yummy! Did you ever try using beet juice to color them? If you don't use metal lids then what can you substitute them for? All we have around here are metal lids. Bummer. I love pickled eggs as a snack. Did you ever try to pickle bologna? It is good as well. I am wondering, can you cover with cheese cloth and then a metal lid? This is killing me, just wanting to know.
