Recipe : Refrigerator Pickled Eggs
« on: November 17, 2018, 15:49 »
I finally found a Pickled Eggs recipe that works for me. The vinegar is slightly diluted because the eggs are stored in the fridge immediately after bottling rather than being left in a store cupboard (which would require full strength vinegar).

Recipe : Refrigerator Pickled Eggs (based on a 1L Kilner jar which fitted 10 eggs)

Clean and dry a glass jar with a lid.

Hard boil as many eggs as you are using then place in cold water to prevent them going grey. I boiled them for 11 minutes to make sure they were properly done inside.

Once cold, shell and rinse them. If any are torn and rough from the peeling, set aside and use in something else.

In a small pan, warm 500ml Cider Vinegar, 125ml water and 1/4 cup sea salt until the salt is dissolved.

Place two peeled garlic cloves, 1/2 tsp ground turmeric and either 1 tsp black peppercorns or one dried chilli in the jar. Add a little of the warm vinegar to disperse the turmeric. Add the eggs until the jar is almost full then cover with the warm vinegar. Put the lid on and set aside to cool.

Once cold, put in the fridge and leave for two weeks. They are then ready to eat. Use them without mayonnaise on fresh bread with salad instead of cheese or meat.

I use slightly diluted vinegar (as you have found, neat is a bit strong) and keep them in the cupboard.  I've found no problems...

Cheers,  Tony. ::)

This lot aren't ready yet but from past experience with full-strength white vinegar, the vinegar was the main taste. This time I am trying the more dilute method with storing in the fridge since I have room.

Having looked at other recipes, "Traditional" pickled eggs seem to have some celery, a little sugar, salt and peppercorns. You can add beetroot or beetroot vinegar to colour them pink or you can pile on the chilli for a more powerful result. The common denominator is the vinegar (white or cider), the correct amount of salt and then whatever flavouring you want from sugar, pepper, herbs, garlic, spices and chilli.
