When chickens give you eggs....,


Our chickens have been blessing us for weeks with lots of eggs. So I decided to pickle some. I have pickled eggs before but used a different recipe. I came across this recipe and decided to try something different.


 
 
First boil a dozen eggs, I am using smaller eggs that our sweet little Silkies are laying.

 
 
While your eggs are boiling, mix together your vinegar, salt, sugar and pickling spice.

 
When this pickling liquid comes to a boil, add 1 large onion, sliced. Let your liquid and onions sit for 5 minutes.
 
Once your eggs are boiled, peel and stuff them into your jars. Ladle your hot pickling liquid and onions into your jars. I used pints.
 
Boil your jarred eggs in a boiling water canner for 5 minutes.
 
 
 





Pickled Eggs
 
12 boiled and peeled eggs
4 cups vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1 large onion, sliced
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon pickling spice
 
Boil your eggs and while they are boiling combine your vinegar, salt, sugar and pickling spice and bring it to boil. Turn you liquid off and add your sliced onion. Once you have peeled your eggs, pack them into your jars. Ladle the hot liquid and onions over your eggs. Boil in your boiling water canner for 5 minutes.
