Dales Red Pickled Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• In a glass bowl (beet juice sometimes will stain plastic), whisk together sugar, salt, vinegar and 3/4 cup of juice from the tinned beets (you can discard any remaining juice); whisk until sugar is dissolved.
• In a larger glass bowl, place peeled eggs and beets.
• Pour dressing over eggs.
• Refrigerate overnight, covered (the colour will get more intense if left a day or two longer).
• To serve, cut eggs into halves or quarters.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel.
• Bring vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil in a saucepan until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
• Place eggs, garlic, and bay leaf in a 1-quart mason jar; top with vinegar mixture. Seal jar and refrigerate for at least 1 week.

Steps:

• Put the vinegar, sugar, bay, spices, ½ tbsp salt and 150ml water in a small pan and heat for a few mins until the sugar dissolves. See tip below about adding other flavours and spices. Leave to cool completely while you boil the eggs.
• Bring a large pan of water to the boil, lower in the eggs with a slotted spoon and set a timer for 10 mins. Once the timer goes off, immediately plunge the eggs into ice cold water and leave to cool. Gently tap the eggs on the work surface and peel off the shells.
• Put the boiled eggs in a sterilised jar where they all fit, about 1 litre, and pour over the cooled pickling liquid to cover. Seal and leave in a cool, dark place for at least two weeks, or up to three months. Once opened, keep in the fridge and eat within two weeks.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a medium glass heatproof jar. Cook vinegar, salt, sugar, and 1 cup water in a small pot over high heat, stirring, until salt and sugar dissolve.
• To make pink pickled eggs:
• Add beet, shallot, and bay leaf and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour over eggs, stir, and chill at least 3 hours or up to overnight for a darker shade of pink.
• To make yellow pickled eggs:
• Add ginger, peppercorns, and turmeric and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour over eggs, stir, and chill at least 3 hours or up to overnight for a darker shade of yellow.
• To make purple pickled eggs:
• Add cabbage and caraway seeds and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour over eggs. Add 1 tsp. baking soda and stir until foaming subsides, then stir in remaining 1 tsp. baking soda. Chill at least 3 hours or up to overnight for a darker shade of purple.
• To make orange pickled eggs:
• Add carrot, garlic, beet, and saffron and bring to a boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. Pour over eggs, stir, and chill at least 3 hours or up to overnight for a darker shade of orange.
• Do Ahead
• Pickled eggs can be made 5 days ahead. Remove from pickling brine once desired color has been reached, transfer to an airtight container, and chill.

Steps:

• Eggs: cover 24 eggs with cold water and bring to a boil. Once water begins to boil remove from heat and allow to sit for 15 minutes, followed by 5 minute cold water bath. Peel.
• Brine: Bring vinegar, water and salt to a boil, remove from heat.
• Jars: 4 quart jars, cleaned in dishwasher or with hot soapy water, rinse thoroughly. Each jar needs 1 tbsp of mustard seed, fresh dill (1 flower), 2 cloves of peeled garlic, and 1 whole jalapeno pepper.
• Run toothpick through each egg and place 6-8 per jar (depending on size of eggs), cover with brine and seal with lid.
• Jars must be kept in refrigerator, eggs ready within 1 week, but best to wait at least 2 weeks.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Drain liquid from the beets into saucepan. Place beets, onions, and eggs into a large bowl or pitcher.
• Pour sugar and vinegar into the saucepan with the beet liquid and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer 15 minutes.
• Pour the beet juice mixture over the beets, eggs, and onions. Seal the bowl or pitcher and refrigerate. Refrigerate for at least one to 3 days; the longer they are allowed to sit the better they will taste.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a wide mouthed, half-gallon canning jar or other covered container.
• Put beets and liquid into a medium size saucepan. Add vinegar, sugar, spices, water and salt. Bring just to boiling, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Pour beets and vinegar mixture into jar with eggs; adding additional water as needed to cover.
• Cover jar and place in refrigerator to be served in 2-3 days.
