Ingredients
Instructions
- Boil and peel your eggs.
- Heat water and salt, stirring to dissolve salt. Add the vinegar and let cool to room temperature.
- Pack the dill, garlic, peppercorns, pickling spices, mustard seeds, and beets (optional) into a clean 1-quart jar. Add the eggs, as many as you can fit.
- Pour in the vinegar mixture until it covers all the eggs. You may not use all of your mixture. Refrigerate immediately.
- The eggs will be ready in 1-2 weeks. The longer you wait, the more "pickled" they become. They stay good in the fridge up to 4 months. Enjoy on salad, sandwiches, or as a snack.
