Purple Pickled Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Put the peeled hardboiled eggs in the large jar.
• Boil the remaining ingredients together for 5 minutes.
• Pour over the eggs in the jar.
• Cover; leave on counter overnight.
• Keeps in refrigerator for weeks, in theory.
• In reality, if you love pickled eggs, these will disappear.

Steps:

• Heat brine ingredients to boiling. Pour over beets and let stand six hours.
• Add hardboiled eggs and let stand in refrigerator for up to one week. Assuming you can wait that long. I can't. I start snitching them the day after they're put in the fridge.

Steps:

• Bring the vinegar, 3/4 cup water, 3 tablespoons salt, the coriander seeds, mustard seeds, sugar, onions and chiles to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar. Reduce the heat, cover and let the brine simmer for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pierce each egg all the way through about 6 times with a cake tester or toothpick. Put 2 eggs in each of 3 glass pint jars with lids, and tuck the celery and dill in around them. Ladle in enough brine to cover the eggs, add 2 more eggs to each jar and ladle in more brine to cover, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Close the jars, let cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
• To serve, halve or quarter the eggs, and spoon some pickling liquid and vegetables over the top. (The eggs will keep, covered by liquid and refrigerated, for up to 5 days.)

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Wrap the beets tightly in aluminum foil and roast until tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours. Remove from the oven, uncover, and let sit until cool enough to handle. When cool, slip the skins from the beets and cut into eighths.
• In a non-reactive saucepan, combine the vinegar, sugar, peppercorns, and pickling spice. Bring to a boil and cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves. Remove from the heat and let sit for 2 hours for the flavors to develop. Add the eggs, onions, garlic, and beets and turn to coat evenly. Cover tightly and refrigerate, turning occasionally, until the eggs are a deep pink color, at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours.
• To serve, remove the eggs, beets, and onions from the marinade and arrange on a platter. Garnish with sprigs of dill and serve with sliced French bread.

Steps:

• In a medium pot, cover the beets with cold water and boil until tender. Remove the beets and reserve for another use. Add the vinegar, sugar, turmeric if using golden beets, peppercorns and pickling spice. Boil, stirring occasionally until the sugar dissolves.
• Remove the pot from the heat and let stand until the cooking liquid reaches room temperature. Add the eggs and onions. Cover tightly and refrigerate, turning the eggs occasionally, at least 8 hours and up to 24 hours. Remove the eggs from the liquid and serve.

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:

• boil everything except the eggs for about 15 minutes.
• put the eggs in a huge jar.
• pour the hot brine on top of the eggs.
• top off with hot water to completely cover the eggs.
• let sit in the refrigerator for 2 weeks.

Steps:

• Each of these recipes uses 12 peeled, hard-cooked eggs.
• The directions for each recipe are to bring all the ingredients except the eggs to a boil, reduce the heat and simmer for 5 minutes.
• Pack no more than one dozen peeled, hard-cooked eggs loosely into a warm, pre-sterilized quart jar (or other similar size container which can be closed tightly).
• There needs to be plenty of pickling solution, and enough to completely cover the eggs.
• Pour the hot pickling solution over the eggs in the jar, cover, and refrigerate immediately.

Steps:

• Place egg in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, and cool under cold running water. Once the eggs cool for a bit, roll the eggs back and forth on the counter to crush the shells, then return to the cold water for up to an hour. They will peel very easily then.
• Place the peeled eggs in a large bowl or large wide mouthed jar with a lid. Pour in the pickled beets and juice. Add onions if you are using. Let them set in the refrigerator for at least 24 hours - 2 days is best if you can wait that long. Turn jar or stir once or twice to be sure that the eggs are evenly colored. Slice eggs in half and arrange on a tray to serve.

Steps:

• In a large saucepan, combine the first eight ingredients.
• Bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 10 minutes.
• Cool completely.
• Place onions and eggs in a large jar; add enough vinegar mixture to completely cover.
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
• Use a clean spoon each time you remove eggs for serving.
• May be refrigerated for up to 1 week.
