Wait one minute you all!

You mean to tell me that I could just add peeled hard boiled eggs to the juice left in the dill pickle jar to find out if I even like pickled eggs?

Don't you have to process them in a canner or something? Details people, I need DETAILS! PLEeeeeeASE!

And thank you!


BTW, my eyes are watering just looking at that much hot sause!

it kina depends on how quick you eat them i have never canned them but mine do not last long. not long ago I tried the the pickle juice way I like sweet pickles but do not like pickled eggs sweet I use about 75% vinegar 25% water I put a layer of eggs in a pint jar then a 1/2 tablespoon of pickling spice then more eggs till half full then another bit of pickling spice I fill the jar with more eggs then another bit of spice in the meantime I am boiling the water/vinegar mix as it reaches boiling I pour it into the jars in 3-4 days they taste right to me my wife thinks there is too much vinegar you may have to adjust this to your taste

My father in law buys pickled beets (gross) and uses the left over juice to pickle his eggs. He just tosses in the eggs and sticks it back in the fridge. He thinks they are delicious. I think he is crazy.

I've done just the same a couple of times....used pickle juice instead of making my own brine......has worked great!!! Of course, I do still make my own brine at times....not so hard.....50/50 on water and vinegar solution....some spices, peppers, garlic, onion, and voila!!!!! Have fun experimenting

Okay...i have a question...
When i used the pickle juice i just added the boiled eggs to the cold brine and stuck them in the fridge...
I just read that you heated up the brine/juice.... Should i do that next time?

For you hot sauce people here is what I plan on doing with my eggs (once I get them)

follow any generic pickled egg recipe. Based upon the kuntsfamily reference in a post I believe it was though all of my pickled eggs will now be stored in the fridge...

I don't have exact quantities here..

General idea is process as you normally would, add sliced fresh jalepenos, maybe 4-5 slices per pint jar or to your taste. First layer in jar is peeled garlic cloves, second quail eggs., third garlic, and so on and so forth until the jar is filled. After filling process in hot water bath to recommended time. Let sit in fridge for as long as you can contain yourself.

I love pickled garlic and love pickled eggs. I've never had pickled quail eggs, but I've made a ton of pickled chicken eggs and garlic. Just never combined them. Always time for a first and I think the quail and garlic is it ;o)

Hope someone else enjoys this.

Ok, I guess its only been 48 hrs but I had to try them.

I dunno if its the eggs, the pickle flavor, or the hot sauce, but these friggen eggs were awesome.

I was gonna eat only 2 just to try, but I just finished my 12th . . . tomoro morning gonna be rough

The outside of the egg has just the right amount of texture, and the kosher dill flavor is perfect and should soak in a bit more with some age.
I like things pretty spicy and these eggs are just about right, if anything I might add some more hotsauce.


Im going to Costco and gettin me the biggest jar of dill pickles I can find.
I wish I had made more, 35 just wasnt enough.

Im so glad I did this, I totally found my new favorite snack.
