Pickling eggs

[Trigger Mike]

Years ago I used to pickle eggs once in a while and forgot how I did it.  I remembered I used apple cider vinegar but had forgotten what else, i.e. Salt and if any water.  

 

Our chickens have done good lately but won't forever so I thought I'd pickle some eggs.  I went on line and I found dozens of recipes .  

 

All of them though had onions and other spices and beet juice etc.  None sounded good.  I hate onions.  Why has everyone gone to spicing things up?  What happened to.keeping I simple?

 

I figure the pickled eggs will be a good diabetic friendly snack.

I have no clue how my grandma did it, but she made the best pickled beets and eggs. 
 

Not helpful, I know, but brought back good memories.

@Subdeacon Joe introduced me to this guy.  Here is a 240 year old technique.

 

 

As stated in the video Beet juice is used to color the eggs as well as impart some flavor. I suspect you could use any food coloring to make them any color you wanted.

We eat quite a few pickles, we also have a few chickens. I take a hard boiled egg and add it to the pickle juice that is left over when the pickles are gone. Keeps well in refrigeration and tastes pretty darned good.
