When I was a kid any time a jar of pickles was emptied my Dad would boil up some eggs, shell them, fill the jar and leave them in the refrigerator. Don't remember for how long. I didn't try them. Now I would. Save thing he would buy pickled herring and loved it. Now I would be willing to give it a try. I still doubt I would try his hog brains and scrambled eggs though.

I note pickled eggs sell in bars for something like $1.00 each, which is about $12 a dozen. Perhaps a money making opportunity for a homestead with extra eggs.

This iis the recipe we use :

1 doz medium sized eggs 1 teaspoon pickling salt 2 teaspoons mustard 1 teaspoon celery seed 2 cups cider vinegar 1 teaspoon mustard seed (5% acidity) 1/2 cup water 6 whole cloves 1 cup sugar 2 medium onions, sliced

Hard-cook eggs by boiling them for 8 minutes. Cool under running water and crack entire shell for easier peeling (start at the large end where the air cell is usually located). Also peeling under running water helps remove all shell membrane. Place eggs in a quart jar with a tight fitting lid. (We prefer mustard or mayonaise jars with plastic lids so that they dont oxidize from the vinegar). In a saucepan (non alumiinum) combine the remaining ingredients. Heat the mixture to near boiling and simmer for 5 minutes. Pour the hot mixture over the eggs. Close jar securely with lid and store immediately in refrigerator. Pickled eggs may be kept several months in the refrigerator . If you want to make colorful eggs, add a few sliced red beets to the jar, they pickle up like the onion and give the eggs a pink/red color.
