Questions & Replies

Can the German Pickled Eggs be pressure canned for non-refrigeration storage?

They only keep for a week or was that a mis print? I would love to make them now for Christmas. Is that possible?

Made these for my husband and he absolutly loved them. Said they were the BEST pickled eggs he's ever had. Thank you for sharing.

I loved these eggs! Try to let them sit for at least a week before eating them (tempting, I know) but they taste a lot better with time. I left out the cloves (didn't have any) and dumped the brine in hot so the jars would seal w/o any troubles.

These were exceptional in taste. I actually added about 1/2 c. of beet juice and chose sweet vidalia onions. They were not only beautiful in color but the onions added the perfect sweetness with the tangy spices. YUMMMM...this will be my recipe of choice for pickled eggs from now on, thanks againg for sharing!!!

These are fantastic. I usually only make pickled eggs with beets, but wanted to try something new. Me any my neighbor tried them with hot sauce, and a few beers last night and will need to make a new batch soon!
