First attempt at pickling

[Tom-ADC]

Two back jars are the same as the front. Disregard the back ground the Beams is my in laws and the peanut butter is for the dog for snack time.

Sausage is andouille Johnsonville fully cooked but I boiled it 5 minutes to remove any fat in it.

I have found making pickles and canning things is just as addictive as casting boolits. I think it's that whole "do it yourself" appeal. Got a recipe for what you put up?

[Tom-ADC]

It was pretty simple
4 cups pickling vinegar
2 cups water
8 tablespoons McCormick pickling spices
8 tablespoons Kosher salt
heat to boil I added some small peppers you can see in the jars
I figure a week or more in fridge in the bottles I did wait an hour for the jars to cool a little before I put them in.

Was told it isn't a bad idea to take a toothpick and poke a couple of holes in the eggs to help the liquid work better on the eggs.

Tom are those sweet or hot peppers?

I want to make some for myself, but my wife says I'll sleep outside if I do & actually eat them:)

[Tom-ADC]

Sweet peppers, didn't have the guts to add heat in a first attempt.

[Tom-ADC]

Sampled the sausage and eggs tonight very good, even the wife liked them.

I put a small slice down in the center of mine into the yolk so the brine works through the yolk.

They're best if you can leave them for a month or so before you get into them but it's so hard not to.
