OKLVFD Pickled Egg Recipe

Pickled Egg Recipe

First prepared this way for the fire department members by

Len and Lorraine Klinger

Ingredients

3 dozen hard boiled eggs, shelled and rinsed
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon pickling salt
2 teaspoons mustard seed
12 whole cloves
6 bay leaves
6 chili peppers
enough white vinegar to cover eggs

Boil all spices in 2 cups vinegar for 5 minutes. Put prepared eggs in jar with vinegar/spice mixture and fill to top with extra vinegar. Let stand at room temperature for 24 hours, then refrigerate. Wait 10 days before eating and enjoying.

If you cannot wait... re-boil a few shelled eggs in the spice-vinegar mixture.

We've tried adding onions and garlic cloves but the original recipe is still favored.
