Jim's Pickled Egg Recipe
Submitted by Silkey Kay
Ingredients:
3 dozen hard boiled eggs
3 cups white vinegar
1 white onion, sliced
4-5 cloves of garlic
2-3 tablespoons salt
5-6 dashes pepper
2-3 dashes tabasco sauce
2-3 tablespoons of crushed mustard seed
2-3 tablespoons of curry powder
15 jalepeno peppers, sliced
5 jalepeno peppers, whole
10-15 habenero peppers, sliced
(optional, makes the eggs very spicey)
3-4 tablespoons crushed red pepper
5-6 peppercorns
1-2 gallon jar to pickle eggs in
Pretty much anything else that sounds good (carrots, pigs feet, etc.)
Food coloring, to make the eggs even more appealing (optional)
Preparations:
The first thing you want to do is hardboil the eggs (look in a recipe book if you don't know how to do this, or do what I did, and call your grandmother for instructions). Remove the shells from the eggs, and set eggs aside. In a large pan, bring the vinegar to a slow boil. Place all ingredients, except for the eggs (and whatever else you want to pickle, such as carrots) and sliced jalepenos, into the boiling vinegar. Your going to want to cover the boiling vinegar combo, so that the vinegar fumes do not escape too much into the air ( I almost was killed by my roommates two years ago for boiling vinegar uncovered at a high rate. Let the vinegar boil for 1-2 hours, to cook all the flavors out of the spices. Place the eggs into the jar, and pour the vinegar combo into the jar over the eggs and jalepenos. I recently started straining the onions, garlic etc. from the brine to give an overall better appearance. Fill the rest of the jar with hot tap water until all the eggs are covered. Seal the jar tightly. Shake the jar every other day or so. After 2 weeks or so, Enjoy!
To serve the pickled eggs, just use a slotted spoon to fish an egg out of the pickling mixture, and hit it with a dash of tabasco sauce and/or salt.
