I LOVE pickled eggs and make them myself (and for my friends) quite frequently. I'd love to get more recipes. Want to share?My recipe: Pickling Liquid: 6 cups cider vinegar 1 cup water 1/3 cup salt 1/3 cup sugar 1 cup pickling spices (whatever mix you like!) 4-5 dried chili peppers As I boil about 4 dozen eggs ( I leave them out of the fridge overnight so that they shell easily), cool and peel I simmer the liquid above. While the eggs are still warm I put them in bottles and pour the hot liquid (including spices) over them. I don't have time to actual steam seal them so they go in the fridge. I eat a lot of them and give away a couple of dozen each batch. They last 1-2 months in the fridge, longer if you preserve them properly. Supposedly, home pickled anything is great for your digestion!

A really easy way that I use sometimes is to put boiled eggs in the liquid left from pickled beets. Just put it in the refrigerator and in about a week, the eggs are delicious! I'm going to try your recipe, too.

Good idea - I've heard of people doing that with the liquid from pickles...but I like them a little sweet too.

I've never been much for pickled beets but I love beet greens. My mother loves pickled beets though and eggs so I might do these for her.
