If there’s one thing southerners love, it’s pickled foods. Pickled pigs feet, sausage, and eggs are staples in many homes in Alabama. Tonight, my housemate and I decided to pickle just over 100 eggs. We’ll sell most of them at a nearby auction (they easily bring $5/pint) and eat the rest.
Cool! What’s the recipe?
Cheers.
Could use a recipe too, as I have lots of eggs right now, where I need to find a good use for. I have never had pickled eggs and they sound very interesting. I would use hard boiled eggs and put them into something similar to the brew used for cucumber.
The recipe is fairly simple. Before beginning, make sure everything you use has been sterilized. This means boil all your lids and jars too. Don’t just put them in a dishwasher.
This is the ingredient list (adjust by the number of eggs you have):
The directions:
That’s it. At this point, you can give the jars a water bath if you want to seal them just like any other canning procedure. If not sealing the jars, a lot of people online recommend putting the jar in the fridge, but I’ve never seen anyone around where I live do this. They always leave them out on the kitchen counter.
Another note is that the ingredients don’t have to be exact. You can eyeball stuff and make adjustments if you want. The most important part of preserving the eggs is the vinegar.
Sounds cool to me. I wonder what it taste like? I never heard of pickled eggs before. I’ll add this one on my lists. Thanks Justin!
Whats pickling spice made out of? Is it something I can make out of the spices I already have at home or is it an individual spice?
how long before they are pickled? or ready to eat?
You can start eating them within a week. The longer they sit though, the more pickled they become. So, at minimum, I’d wait at least 7 days.
Ever since I saw Homer Simpson chowing down on these, I’ve always wanted to try them. I’ve never seen them around, though — I must be hanging out at the wrong bars!
Thanks for the recipe!
They’re great for really drunk people at bars. The bar gets $1 out of the sale and some guy’s friends get a good laugh out of a dare.
lol nice!
Looks Great!!! Think you and Shannon did a fabulous job. Try not to let him eat em’ all.
Believe it or not, Shannon doesn’t like pickled eggs.
These look like German Soleier, they are very delicious. Eggs put in very salty water over night then eaten with vinegar and mustard.
Wow! I just don’t think I could eat one. I don’t care how many cocktails I’ve had. Pickled eggs just sounds so wrong.
I bet those were delicious !
When i will have time i’ll try and do something simillar.
Very nice blog btw.
Oh, Those eggs look good and you can make money with them
Great recipe!! Weird but looks good, thank you
That’s a great recipe, what I want to know is how long they last, for example if i pickle some eggs today how long would it take roughly before they expire?
They’ll probably last about a year in the fridge or several months on the counter.
It so good. But i don’t like egg. I like fruit
Awesome! Thank you for the recipe.
Never been abled to find Stuff like that in Germany.. Would love to try some
It is safe to eat. Garlic contains both enzymes and sulfur compounds that can react in the presence of acid (in this case, the vinegar) to form small amounts of copper sulfate. But it is perfectly safe to eat.
Pickled food are tasty but beware of his bad affect, pickled food normally contain high concentrations of salt. It is major cause on high blood pressure. But..how can we exclude salt or pickled food in daily meal?huhu…
My pickled eggs don’t have too much salt, especially if you eat them correctly. You only have an egg every once in a while as a snack, not as multiple snacks a day.
Thanks Justin I just made a batch last night going to wait 3 weeks before I try one.
keren bro ifonua?
