Ingredients

1 pound red beets, stems and leaves removed
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon whole black peppercorns
1/8 teaspoon pickling spice
6 large hard-boiled eggs, peeled
1 small yellow onion, peeled and sliced
2 cloves garlic, peeled and smashed
Fresh dill sprigs, garnish
Sliced French bread, as an accompaniment

Directions

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.

Easy pickled eggs
Rated: 2 stars out of 5

I can't remember who said that this was a new recipe and wouldn't give the recipe but here's a much easier recipe.It's one... my family has been using since before my great-grandmother was born. 1 can of pickled beets,1 can of water,and 1 can of white vinegar.Pour into big pitcher.Add as many hard-boiled eggs as you can fit into your container and still have the eggs covered by pickling juice.Wait at least 8 to 10 hours for eggs to become purple.Eat and enjoy. P.S. DON'T toss pickling juice!!!!! Just add more hard-boiled eggs and enjoy again.The waiting is the hardest part.Read more

My dad and grandpap would've loved these. Just like we use to get at the tavern, with the Penrose pickled sausage. Great with... a cold beer.Read more

pickled goodness
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

this recipe was very good. the eggs were especially delicious. i also tried alton brown's pickled beets recipe - we liked... that one better and it was easier to make with less ingredients. i added the eggs to alton's recipe and we love it.Read more

This recipe is a childhood memory.
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

My Nana used to make these beets, just like this. Always apple cider vinegar and ususally fresh beets and onions. I made a... jar of these for my sister and gave them to her for her birthday, just to remind us both of Nana; who is long departed. I'll make them again and again for that reason alone. They are delicious.Read more
