Chickens have gone into egg overdrive... 5-6 eggs more than I can use. Every morning. What to do?
Pickled eggs.
1 C water
2 C white vinegar
1/3 C white sugar
1/2 large sweet yellow onion, sliced thick
1 large clove garlic, peeled and cut in half crossways
1 rounded Tablespoon "store bought" pickling spice
10 grams sea salt (or about 2 heaping teaspoons canning & pickling salt)
2 dozen peeled hard boiled eggs, use eggs that have gone past a week in storage for easier peeling. (my Dorking eggs are medium sized, less will fit in jar with large or jumbo eggs)
Place all ingredients in clean 1/2 Gallon mason jar, if solid ingredients are not covered by pickling liquid, add more of the white vinegar/water in a 2:1 mix until covered. Cover jar & refrigerate. Wait at least 1 week before tasting- Flavor continues to improve for at least a month (longest any have lasted here!), some have said they kept these for over a year in the refrigerator without problems.
I have substituted part of the white vinegar with apple cider and/or white wine vinegar, or added a little balsamic vinegar, it's all good-
