PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH RED BEET EGGS AND PICKLED BEETS



Pennsylvania Dutch Red Beet Eggs and Pickled Beets image

These are simple to make and my family's favorite. We prefer these because they use less sugar than some other recipes and no brown sugar at all. I never cared for beets until I tried these. From my Best-Loved Pennsylvania Dutch Recipes booklet that, sadly, is falling apart page-by-page. The longer they marinate, the redder the eggs become. Great in salads and a beautiful decoration on any platter. NOTE: Prep time does not include hard-boiling eggs or marinating time. 09/16/07 - There are two basic types of red beet eggs and this is my favorite. If you use cider vinegar and add cloves, cinnamon and allspice these become more like spiced apples and closer to recipe #86599. Since these spices can trigger my asthma, I find this simple recipe perfect.
