How were they?

I'm gonna try this one. I have a huge jar of jalapenos in the pantry and I have no clue what it's for.


Travis

It's for eatin, duh.

I'd be using them sumbiches in everything I can think of!

Travis,

Belive it or not, I'm STILL waiting...Gonna try one SOON!

Can't wait forever! (grin!)

I've used several different recipes and my own creativity, but I've always used hot liquid poured over romm temp eggs, seal the jar, let cool and then refrigerate for a week or two. It seems as though that helps the brine penetrate the egg. Now I'll have to try it both ways and see if it really makes any difference. (Make sure the jars are hot if you are going to pour hot liquid in them...)

My personal favorite is when a jar of banana pepper rings is almost empty, dump as many boiled eggs is as you can fit. Let em sit a few weeks.

Best eggs I EVER had in my life were at my old local bar. Not sure if they ever dumped em out and added new, or how they cycled the jars, but they were beet eggs that sat up on the bar all the time. Had a good bit of horseradish in it.

I'm working on a jar right now that 's half dill pickle juice and half beet juice with some allspice and red pepper flakes thrown in for good measure. Damn tasty!
Still gonna try that english pub model soon as I can get to town and pick up a couple of ingredients I'm missing. Hopefully they'll be ripe enough to leave out for Santa come Christmas eve.

Ours were always sweet and purple after riding in the jar after the beets were gone. Don't think I could stomach a dill or hot egg.

Splash of beet juice to turn them pink/purple.

Don't knock it till ya try it buddy.

PS,,, pretty much the same ingredients in pickle juice as "Pickled Beet" juice.

Done
Three dozen English Pub Eggs (minus a couple I had to eat due to excess damage during the peeling process) in the frige and patiently waiting.



Worth mentioning is how good my kitchen smells after brewing up the pickling mixture.
Hope the eggs taste that good.

I made some with pickled beets and brown sugar. I was going to the english pub recipe, but I know my kids love this one and they were wanting more.

They're in the fridge, waiting...

i put a egg- shell and all, in a old nacho slice jar..been there over a year....wife said yesterday that its time for me to man up....

I like em in Beet juice too. Never added Brown Suger though. Sounds good.
I've still got a few in the Beet Juice jar but not enough to hold me till these ripen. Better send me some of yours to tide me over.

How many eggs will fit in a half gallon jar? My jalapeno's are almost all gone. Should I add onion and garlic? anything else?

I can get ten to twelve (depending on the size of the eggs) in the quart jar I use for Beet Juice eggs so I'd try one of those eighteen packs. That should leave room for a little garlic and onion if ya deceide to use some.
Let us know how they turn out.

I got the recipe from BGG. They're fabulous.

I'm salivating just reading this thread. I've gotta pickle some eggs this weekend...

As good as pickled eggs are--however you do 'em--they just get infinitely better with some ice cold dark beer and some salt and pepper. Makes no difference if it's 90 above zero or 30 below--good no matter what. And, even better, around my house, I'm the onliest one who likes 'em so I get to eat them all!! Same with fried chicken gizzards, but that's another story....
