I normally only read the food section and do not post recipes because, compared to the real cooks here, I have precious little to contribute and very much to learn! smile

However, I made some pickled eggs 2 weeks ago, and just had a couple of them. They were good -- and different (at least to me) because it had cinnamon and a chili pepper in it.

I thought I'd post the recipe as I found it on the net.

I hope that others will follow it up with their own favorite recipe.

British pub pickled eggs

Ingredients

12 hard-boiled eggs (see our section on how to boil an egg)
4 cups of malt vinegar
1 finely chopped chilli pepper
10 black peppercorns
10 whole cloves
3 cinnamon sticks
2 tsp of allspice

Method

Peel the hard-boiled eggs, allow them to cool and then place them in a large clean jar.
Heat the vinegar and the spices in a saucepan until the liquid begins to boil. Reduce the heat and simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and allow to cool to about room temperature.
Strain the liquid and pour over the eggs covering them completely.
Seal the jar tightly with the lid and store in a cool and dark place for a minimum of two weeks before consuming.
