This is probably the best Pickled Eggs I ever had...at a bar in Long Beach called Joe Jost's...they serve them with pretzel sticks and pepper the eggs when served...

Here is a write up about the bar...recipe below...they serve their beer at 29F in schooners...

Joe Jost’s Pickled Eggs

8 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
1 (12 ounce) jar yellow chili peppers
2 tablespoons pickling spice
1 cup white wine vinegar
1 1/2 scant cups water
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons salt

Mix all ingredients except eggs together in a glass jar with tight-fitting lid. Put peeled eggs in liquid. Don't refrigerate.

Keep eggs in sealed jar at least two days before using.

Does this need a blow-off??? :D
 
Just this past weekend I made up some pickled quail eggs, garlic, and shallots.

Didn't even really measure anything, just toss stuff in :p

The brine to boil:
2 cups white vinegar
1/2-ish cup of water
red wine vinegar (just poured some in until the colour changed)
~6-8 garlic cloves
~1/2-ish tsp pickling salt
~1/2-ish tbsp white table sugar

Brought to a boil, stirred, and cooled for about 15 minutes.

In jars:
boiled and peeled eggs
sliced white onion
1/4 tsp of pickling spice per jar
1/4 tsp coriander seeds per jar
a pinch of dried rosemarie per jar (I luvs me some rosemarie)
red chili flakes

Then water bath boil time.

should the jar go in the fridge or on the counter top while getting pickled?

You mean after you've filled it and sealed it?

If you're not boiling the sealed jars: Fridge

If you ARE boiling the sealed jars: counter, closet, pantry, underwear drawer, anywhere really.

The hot water bath for 10-15 minutes after putting the lid on them creates the seal and pasturizes the contents for a longer shelf life.

Just be sure to leave the lid a bit loose when boiling, air needs to escape for the seal to occur afterward during the cooldown.
 
Simple easy good eggs
How ever many eggs that fit in your jar.
Add straight Louisiana Pepper sauce until eggs are covered. Place lid and store in cool place until ready. They don't take very long and will pickle faster if poked with a tooth pick some of the best I have tried.
 
I've been doing mine pretty simple and people love em... 12 hard boiled eggs, white vinegar (not sure how many cups maybe 2?) combine with some water (I do 3 vinegar to 1 water) and boil with about 1/2 cup sugar or more and some pickling salt. Then put eggs in half gallon mason jar, pour hot liquid on add small can of beets and let it sit overnight on the counter and then put in the fridge for about a week. I've done it with habaneros/jalapenos too minus the beets, just butterflying the habaneros, rings on the jalapenos and putting them in, people really like those a lot as well. The best though is taking the beet ones and doing those up as deviled eggs.

My boss gave me a small carton of quail eggs (carton holds 18 but there were 15 in there).

Just pickled those buggers up with some zliced jalapeno :rockin:

Can't wait to try them!
 
Forgive the ignorance, but... are pickled eggs any good?

I used to see them floating in the jar at this dive bar all the time, but, no thanks to those.

I love pickles... I love hardboiled eggs, but for the life of me, I can't put the two flavors together in my head. I'm intrigued... might have to just go for it.
 
Why yes they are.Beet pickled eggs are my favorite ,but I like them all sour,sweet ,hot and a combination of all three .You really should try them.If you can't stand them it's ok we'll understand.

Yeah... I'm always up to store stuff in glass containers for a while and come back to see how it turns out.

:D

They are very good. Don't think of them as eggs when you eat them though. The exterior when proper is kinda rubbery and think that's what turns people off. That and maybe the beet stained color. The best ones are from dive bars, they usually sit the longest. I find after a good 4 to 5 weeks in the jar those are the best.
 
BTW if you like the eggs and pickled beets try shurbs... My new favorite drink right now since have no brew on hand.
 
No better way to end the day than checking out HBT, eating a dozen pickled eggs, drinking a half gallon of homebrew, then off to bed!:eek:

Make sure you leave a window open or you might die of methane poisoning.:D

Definitely. They need to really sit and pickle for a while, otherwise it's just eggs in vinegar. But beet pickled or mustard pickled are both good.

Around here, you can get them at the grocery store deli. That way you could try one before committing to it. You can sometimes find them in jars (Amish wedding eggs), but that might be regional.

Do you do mustard ones? A buddy of mine gets them from the local cheese shop and they are pretty darn good. I thought about making them and wondering what your recipe is for em? I prefer the hots or beet myself but it's always good to branch out. ha...

It is basically the same as other pickled egg recipes (vinegar, water, sugar, salt) with a couple of tablespoons of yellow mustard added. You can also add turmeric powder to make it even more yellow.

[Mustard is basically vinegar, mustard seed, and turmeric. If I remember right, mustard seed gets hot when you add water, and increases in heat up to about 15 minutes. Vinegar stops it from getting hotter, sort of "fixing" the level of spice. For example, if you crush mustard seed with a little water and make a paste, wait 5 minutes and add vinegar, then it will be more mild than if you wait 15 minutes and add vinegar. You can make it this way, or just use mustard seeds and some prepared mustard from a jar.]

Is that enough to go on, or were you looking for more specifics for a recipe?
