Ingredients

    Directions

    This recipe is for refrigerator pickled eggs. There are no home canning directions for pickled eggs. The following pickled egg recipe is for storage in the refrigerator. Pickled eggs should never be at room temperature except for serving time, when they should be limited to no more than 2 hours in the temperature danger zone of 40 to 140 degrees F according to the National Center of Home Food Preservation. The container used for the eggs should be one that can be closed or sealed tightly; glass canning jars work well. The eggs are to be completely covered with the pickling solution during storage. A quart-size canning jar will hold about one dozen medium sized eggs. Storing Eggs After making the eggs, the eggs require some time to season (i.e., pick up the flavors from the pickling brine). Keep them refrigerated at all times. If small eggs are used, 1 to 2 weeks are usually allowed for seasoning to occur. Medium or large eggs may require 2 to 4 weeks to become well-seasoned. Use the eggs within 3 to 4 months for best quality.

    Step1

    Boil eggs for 10-12 minutes and allow to cool. Fresh eggs are the best to use however if they are too fresh, they will be difficult to peel and can fall apart. Eggs a few days old are the best to use or just purchased from the grocery store.

    Step2

    Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Boil canning jars and rings for at least 10 minutes prior to canning.

    Step3

    Prepare the pickling solution. In a stainless-steel medium saucepan on high heat add 3 cups white vinegar, 2 cups of water, 2 teaspoons of dehydrated minced onion, 5 teaspoons of pickling salt, 1 tablespoon of minced garlic and 1 tablespoon of granulated sugar. Bring to a boil.

    Step4

    Peel the hardboiled eggs. Once the jars are out of the boiling water add to each jar the following: 1 teaspoon of peppercorns, 2 teaspoons of dill seed and 2 teaspoons of mustard seeds. Next put 3 boiled eggs in the bottom of the jar and then add sprigs of rosemary and dill. You can add basil or anything that you want. Then add 3 more eggs and more springs, keep layering until full. Don't forget that the eggs need to be completely submerged in liquid to be safe, so don't pack them too full. Pour the hot pickling solution over the eggs and seal. Allow to cool enough to put into the refrigerator. Enjoy!
