Beet Pickled Eggsanother way to store summer's bountyI have been experimenting with pickled egg recipes. Recently, I made my third batch of beet pickled eggs. The first two batches disappeared before I could get a picture of the delightfully purple eggs.
My goal for the third batch was to get more perfectly peeled eggs. First, I stored several dozen eggs in the refrigerator for thirty days. Then the eggs went into a large pot, covered with tap water. Using hot tap water has resulted in more eggs split open. The eggs were brought to a rolling boil for 30 minutes.
Then I remove the pot from the stove and transfer a few eggs at a time into a large bowl with cold water while cracking and peeling. The cold water helps the egg separate from the shell.
While peeling the eggs, I boil several quart jars in a water bath to sterilize the glass. With the eggs peeled and the ingredients listed below combined and heated to a boil, I transfer about 10 eggs to each quart jar, fill it with the broth, add some fresh dill and finish the canning process by sealing the jars and returning them to a water bath. Ingredients: for 12 hard boiled eggs
