How to make Amish Pickled Red Beet Eggs

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (15 ounce) can beets
1 small onion, thinly sliced-mine was the size of a round plum
*12 hard boiled eggs, shelled and left whole-I use 5 eggs
1/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup vinegar

Steps:

  • Drain liquid from the beets into saucepan. Place beets, onions and eggs into a large bowl or pitcher-I use a quart jar.
  • Pour sugar and vinegar into saucepan with the beet liquid and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low, and let simmer 15 minutes.
  • Pour the beet juice over the eggs and veggies. Seal bowl or pitcher and refrigerate for at least one to three days.
  • Notes:
  • *I feel from making these eggs, this recipe as written might make 6 eggs, 5 is my personal maximum. Comments suggest water should be an ingredient, I've never bothered to figure that out, I just make 5 flavorful eggs:@)
  • You do not want the liquid to evaporate in the pan folks, bring to a gentle boil and reduce that heat immediately to barely a bubble. You'll need all the liquid you have to cover the eggs/beets.
  • I've used red, cider and white vinegar, I prefer cider.
  • If you just want to try this recipe (maybe as a test batch), it will work with 3 eggs in a pint jar.
  • They'll last in the fridge for weeks, I like the fresh flavor of about 2-3 days.
  • A wonderful side note to this recipe is, it makes great pickled beets too-yum!!!
