Awesome!! The changes I made were I doubled the recipe but only added 1 extra tbsp of both salt and pickling spice instead of doubling those. And I added a some extra peppercorns.
Awesomely Awesome! Would recommend to my kids and colleagues!
I’ve been looking for a good pickled egg recipe like the one I used to make with my Dad when I was little and this was it. I added red onions to mine to give it the pretty purplish color. I also love garlic so I added a ton more then what was called for.
I really love this recipe, but I think that the addition of 2T of sugar makes it just perfect. I love using the pickled onions in the recipe in sandwiches and wraps. So good!
Did not disappoint! Such great flavour! I did use pickling spice w clove, not a problem. The colours are b/c I used Easter eggs:/) Also added a jalapeño and about 1T sugar. Thank you!
Great eggs. If you like to tinker, add a couple cloves of garlic. Then, maybe a dash of red pepper flakes.
I used white wine vinegar and it turned out great!
Awesome tasting pickled eggs. We added 4 tablespoons of sugar and minced garlic was OUT OF THIS WORLD!!!
Follow the directions yesterday and they are delicious.
Solid, basic, easy to make recipe. This is my go to for a good snack and a favorite of mine for guests on game day that like something different.
I made these and really liked them!! That said, I am taking Benny’s advice next time and removing the clove from the McCormick’s Brand Pickling Spice, which is what I used. Hopefully this clears up the browning issue.
I added a bit of Jalapeño Peppers ( 2 tablespoons)
I (as well as my kids) like these, but the spices do cause a browning. I wouldn’t say to cut the cloves, because you may like them. I will pick a lot out next time though.
This is a fairly straight forward Recipe. It’s .Very Similar the other Recipe I’ve used before. I use Cider Vinegar, and a little more salt and Onion in My recipe. I’ve even substituted Beet juice for the water a time or 2. These are great when you need a snack to take the edge off your hunger. I’ve used the same recipe for pickled smoked sausage too.
My first attempt at pickled eggs. They turned out very good!
Great recipe! I added carrots and used red onion instead of white which gave the eggs a nice reddish-pink color.
These were delicious especially sliced in salads. I tried this but also added 2 spriggs of dill, 1 tsp sugar ( not more cause sweet eggs dont sound tasty to me), 3 dried red chiles, and extra pepper corns.
Spot on just like the ones my dad made
Best pickled eggs ever and I also tried it with wieners excellent …I will be making this recipe again
Add freash dill and sliced hot pepper yum
Hubby loves these! He thinks that these are the best pickled eggs that he has ever had! He requested for these to be always available snacks at home!
