Purple Pickled Eggs

Hard Boiled Eggs:

6-8 eggs (large)

Medium pot

Vinegar (2 tablespoons)

Gently place eggs in pot

Fill with water until just covering the eggs.

Turn the burner onto high.

Drop in 2 tablespoons of white vinegar

Let the eggs boil until it's at a rolling boil for one 30 seconds to 1 minute.

Once at a boil TURN OFF HEAT, but leave pot on burner....COVER the pot with lid and leave it alone for 20 min.

Once 20 min is up drain pot, run over with cool water.

Get a large bowl (big enough for 8 eggs and some ice cubes and water.

Throw those eggs into the ice bath in the bowl. Place in fridge for at least 20-30 min. 

DRAIN....PEEL, set aside

NEXT: 

3 cans of PICKLED BEETS, I like the sliced kind best.

DRAIN the liquid into a jar or tupperware you don't mind getting potentially stained. (I used an old pickle jar...seemed fitting. 

To the jar filled with pickled beet juice add:

 2 table spoons vinegar

1 tsp sugar

1tsp salt

A couple dashes of pickling spice

DROP your hard boiled eggs into that purple bath.

Like so........

Next you should let them soak for at least 4 hours min. They are best after 24 hours +. You can leave these for about a week and a half in a cold fridge.

They will look like this above, a nice deep purple is what you want. You can eat these babies just as they are with some salt.....
