    Smile Spicy Pickled Eggs

    Got this recipe from a friend yesterday and it looks interesting. Haven't tried them yet, but I like pickled eggs so will likely make up a batch to test sometime soon ...

    The BEST Spicy Pickled EGGS!

    I must begin with a fair warning. These can be addictive! So I take no responsibility for the pickled egg-eating habits that may develop once you have tried these delicious eggs. You have been warned. Please eat responsibly!

    Step 1: Hard Boil Your Eggs

    The first step is to hard boil 8 eggs:
    The best method I've found is to place them in a pan of cool water and then place them on the stove. Turn the stove on high. Add a few pinches of salt to the water. When the water reaches a boil, cover the pan, and remove from the heat for 15 minutes. After 15 minutes pour out the hot water and replace with very cold water and some ice cubes. Carefully crack and peel the eggs and set them aside for now.

    Step 2: Prepare Your Broth:

    Okay, here are your ingredients. Combine these in a saucepan:

    1) 2 Cups of White Vinegar
    2) 1/2 Cup of Water
    3) 1/2 Cup of White Sugar
    4) 1 teaspoonful of salt
    5) 1 teaspoonful pickling spice
    6) 1 teaspoonful red pepper flakes
    7) 4-5 cloves
    8) 1 Cinnamon Stick
    9) 2-3 Habanero Peppers (orange color) cut into rings (discard stems). Include the seeds as well. BEWARE: the oils from the surface of these can really burn. I usually use the grocery bag they come in to hold them while slicing and cleaning. Wash your hands with soap and water after handling them.
    10) 2-3 Green Jalapeno Peppers cut into slices
    11) 1/2 Red Pepper cut into strips
    12) A few rings of a freshly cut White and Red Onion

    Allow all ingredients to simmer on the stove for at least 10-15 minutes. Stir occasionally while simmering.

    Step 3: Combine Eggs and Broth

    We are almost done. Now, remove the broth from the heat and scoop some of the peppers/onions into a Quart sized Mason jar. Add 3 eggs. Scoop some more of the peppers/onions/spices into the jar. Add 3 more eggs. Continue to add the peppers/onions/spices and eggs. When done, pour the remaining broth into the Mason jar, using a funnel if you like, to within a quarter inch of the top. You may have some leftover broth, depending on the size of the eggs and peppers, etc. If you are short on broth, just top off with white vinegar.

    Hand tighten a lid and ring on the Mason jar and let it cool. Then place it in the refrigerator for 2-3 weeks. This is a long time to wait, but the benefits are worth it!!
    Eat and Enjoy!
    I may have passed my "Best Before" date, but I haven't reached my "Expiry" date!

    Now that does sound good, think I'll have to give it a try. I have recently been using balsamic
    vinegar & let them sit for a couple weeks before getting into them, best pickled eggs I'd ever made.

    Who makes only EIGHT pickled eggs at a time. I start with 2 dozen eggs and use a half gallon jar.

    Your recipe sounds interesting. I will have to increase ingredients to the amount needed.

    A guy I was in the service with said his grandpa, who lived in the country, would sit on the porch eating pickled eggs and drinking beer. Swore when the man farted, it would clear 40 acres..........

    As a kid in the later 60's or early 70's my dad went to a large 7th Calvary reenactment. Even the cooking was to be authentic as to what would have been served to Calvary members in 1875. Problem was the stew/bread was lost in a auto accident. He basically only drank beer and ate picked eggs for three days. When he got back he ripped one. It was so bad even the dog left.

    Well I had to make up a few jars of this recipe; being a natural-born skeptic I decided to make 1 batch following the recipe and another omitting the Habaneros altogether. After filling 2 quart jars with 8 extra large eggs and the spices/peppers/onions I had plenty enough brine leftover to do another 8 eggs.

    So, as I type this another 8 eggs are in the pot to boil and when done I'll have 1 qt "recipe", 1 qt "no Habanero" and 1 qt 1/2&1/2. The hardest part will be the 2 week wait, if they last that long.

    A couple of comments:
    I thought the Habaneros would be somewhat rude but when I tasted a couple of drops of the brine I found it to be acceptable--not too hot.
    Next time I'll use regular or small eggs and put them up in 1/2 gallon jars. The recipe doubled should be way plenty of brine and 1/2 gallons fit in my pickle fridge better utilizing space.

    I think that boiling/simmering the peppers may reduce their heat factor--I know from experience that roasted whole Habaneros are darn near fatal. You wand HOT, try roasting whole on the grill--have someone hab-free around in case you need to call 911--we almost did!!

    When I was younger I used to buy a large jar of Penrose sausages, eat about half the sausages and fill it back up with boiled eggs. For some unknown reason Penrose sausages are no longer made. That and a cold beer, WOW in more ways than one.

    Looks like retail outlets abound in Western NY, in "Dollar General" convenience stores.
    Personally I never met a pickled sausage I liked and they are really LOADED with sodium....

    Seems like every tavern back east had a jar of pickled sausage on the bar.

    Also in that train of thought. You simply don't make JUST 8 pickled eggs. Recipe sounds good though.

    My fave pickled eggs come from tossing them in the leftover brine from Fischer's Pickled Bologna. Just the thought is making my mouf water right now, but I can't get Fischer's here in AZ.

    The recipe I used was similar, except straight cider vinegar, no water. It advised that piercing the eggs with a toothpick would hasten the process, down to one week,but might induce botulism. So I used a two prong fork, and the eggs were ready after one week. I also used beets to add color.

    Eggs

    Just waited my 3 weeks and finished my first of two quart jars! They were excellent, but, can't get the wife to try them...guess that leaves more for me. Cooking another batch now so I won't have to wait so long. Thanks for the recipe.

    My grandparents had a bunk house us kids stayed in during the summer. I can remember my brothers eating pickled eggs and having the 2 beers we were given for supper. The stench from the boys room side of the bunkhouse was enough to make you gag! To this day I cannot eat them...
