EASY CLASSIC PICKLED EGGS RECIPE DONE MY WAY
A true pub favourite, this Easy Classic Pickled Eggs Recipe is done my way. With so many variations competing for “the best” tasting egg, I had to come up with my own pickled egg version too
I will admit this is the first time I have attempted making pickled eggs. All these years, I really thought they were disgusting. The concept of putting a hard boiled egg in brine was something that I could not wrap my head around. Now devilled eggs, on the other hand, is a different story.
Since I was a kid, my mom made pickled eggs. In fact, she was a true “canner”. All kinds of pickles, fruits, jams, canned tomatoes, sauces and of course sauerkraut, lined the walls of the cold cellar. I am more of the quick pickle person, like with my zucchini pickles and pickled onions recipe! According to my husband, she made the best pickled eggs, until he tried pickled eggs done my way.

Notes
Always keep the pickled eggs refrigerated until ready to eat*** These will keep for several months.You can take them out of the brine and bring them to room temperature before eating if you wish.
You can make less brine if you wish. I wanted to make sure I had the eggs completely submerged in the liquid.
