    Red beet pickled eggs

    Love'em. We usually have them at family gatherings, picknicks, etc. I understand they aren't a common food. Anybody else had them?

    Do you mean that they are picked in red beet juice or that they are beet red? There are pink ones here but I bet the beet juice would be good.

    Yeah, the ones pickled with beet juice, they're bright red. Sweet tangy flavor, not like some of the nasty pickled stuff you see in convenience stores. I've never seen these in a store. They are dead simple to make.

    I bet they would be a great homemade project. I personally would use free range eggs because they don't feed them recycled egg shells. That is what makes most regular eggs taste like sulfur bombs. The first time you bite into a boiled egg from cage free or even vegetarian chickens, you will never go back to the sulfur bombs!

    The bars in rural Idaho (the gourmet state) all have a gallon jar with a varying amount of pickled eggs in it sitting somewhere in plain site. They are usually yellow not red.
    I swear about 10% of the population there lives on these things, cheap beer, and (at least 10 years ago) cigarettes.

    I found a bunch of recipes online for the beet eggs, all about the same. Water, beets, sugar, vinegar and the eggs, and sometimes onions. If you can boil water you can fix them.

    Wifiod 1.0 loves them. Been a while since I fixed a batch. Plenty of eggs on hand along with some generic beets that are a little tough for her to gumm. Dunno if I have any vinegar around.....
