Tasty Pickled Eggs
The famous bar food pickled eggs... Do they make good Christmas gifts? I think so.
Start with two dozen eggs and boil them.
After they are done, peel and rinse them.
CJ and I both suck at peeling eggs. Some were lost. Some are misshapen. Sadness.
Prepare the pickling liquid.
There are tons of recipes out there. Some with beets, some with balsamic vinegar, some needing to sit a day, some a month, it is sort of crazy. I made up my own recipe.
4 cups white vinegar
1 cup water
A few cloves garlic
Some slices of ginger
A small handful of pickling spices.
Bring to a boil and simmer for 15 minutes.
Pack the eggs into the sterilized jars.
Process with your normal canning procedures.

Fresh eggs never peel well. Buy them 2 weeks in advance of your project. If you need to peel immediately, try a low egg turnover place like Wallgreens or Super America. A freshness date of about 2 weeks out is perfect. Eggs bought at cub/rainbow generally have freshness dates about 3-4 weeks out. It has to do with air under the shell. The fresher the egg, the less air. An older egg has more air, hence easier to peel. Truely, one of lifes little mysteries.
