Just finished this up…. Third gallon of boiled eggs in the refrigerator… should be good in a bit… Oh yeah… I threw in a few dried Ghost Peppers.. For the WoW Factor…
I gotta find me a big wide mouth jar like that! Those look great. I’d be tempted to throw some smoked sausage in there too!
Just jars of Jalapeno's, this one was for Nacho's. I just took and drained the jars through a separator. Put the eggs in and some jalapeno's on top. Rinse repeat till its pretty full. Then fill it back up with the Jalapeno juice. I got it at the Restaurant Depot, a restraurant supply store. FYI... Sams club does have a large jar of jalapeno's, not in the large mouth but its a big jar for like $4 bucks.
Almost forgot, 1/2 cup water 1/2 cup franks red hot 2 cups vinegar (used white this time) Dried onion Minced garlic Red pepper flakes Salt Peppercorn V8 juice heat liquid, fill jars leaving 2 inches top off with V8
I love all things pickled! I particularly like peperoncini. Nice and vinegary but not too hot, piled on top of whatever else is on my sandwich. I decided to throw my hat in the ring in a small way for pickled eggs. I went the abbreviated route. I had a quarter jar of peperoncini left so I added six hard boiled eggs, some extra scallions and a half teaspoon of pickling spice. I topped off with the brine and garlic from a spent jar of garlic pickles. This was fortified with the last bit of a rice wine vinegar bottle. Sounds like a dukes mixture but it cleaned out the fridge. I'll wait a week or so and test. Hoping for a garlicky pickled egg with a bit of peperoncini bite!
Peperoncini guy here! Mezzetta’s are the best. I thought I was the only one that puts stuff in the liquid when the peppers are gone! This is if I don’t drink it first. One of my favorites are baby carrots.
I had an Aunt who made pickled veggies out of carrots, pearl onions, cauliflower florets and a bunch of other goodies. If the eggs turn out I may try carrots and a bunch of other stuff. Those pickled sausages you posted intrigue me!
I feel like I’m in good company here. I’m a huge fan of Clausen pickles; I could chug the brine when they are all gone. The last few summers, I’ve tossed some smaller late season garden cukes into the jar with the brine. They came out pretty good.
Eggs are all gone. They were great! All the associated scallions and peperoncini went on sandwiches. Yum! I will do this again.
Made some for the first time a couple weeks ago and id say it was a success. Only problem was I used day old eggs from my chickens and they weren't easy to peel but still managed! Basic vinegar/sugar/water brine plus onions, garlic, pepper corns and beets.
