Hey Nessie, Here's my "go to" for great pickled eggs if you like just a tiny little bite with them. Get lots of compliments. Can add the whole process but I'm guessing you've got a good handle on that judging by your food posts.


Hunt Camp Pickled Eggs

Here's what you need
24 hard boiled eggs *
1 large sterilized** glass jar (at least ½ gal in size)
4 cups white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
2 medium cooking onions – finely chopped
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon pickling spice
4 or 5 habanera peppers sliced (don't rub your eyes after handling)

The biggest challenge with the fresh eggs will be getting a good clean peel of course.

My son has been “Steaming “ them...with excellent results. I have yet to do it myself. But he swears by it.

I used to , for a long time, Nessy. I had to quit due to my work schedule and plans, but sometime I plan on having a small flock again ! Patrice reminds me to do that often ...I will asap . Meantime, I enjoy local eggies that other folks sell .

The recipe, as my family has it written up, calls for 8 days but I'm guessing that's way longer then really necessary. I'd be trying to discipline myself to stay out of them for 3ish days.

Here's what you need
24 hard boiled eggs *
1 large sterilized** glass jar (at least ½ gal in size)
4 cups white vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
2 medium cooking onions – finely chopped
1/3 cup sugar
1 tablespoon pickling spice
4 or 5 habanera peppers sliced (don't rub your eyes after handling)


* Hard Boiled Eggs
- Choose medium or large fresh eggs with unblemished shells.
- Place in a large pot and cover with cold water.
- Place on high heat and bring to a rapid boil.
- As soon as the rapid boil begins remove pot from heat and leave standing & covered for 15 or 16 minutes.
- Drain hot water (be careful it’s still very hot) and run cold water into the pot to cool the eggs – add ice cubes if you have them to speed cooling.
- Let stand 20 to 30 minutes in cold water or even better place in refrigerator overnight if you have the time.
- Crack shell with spoon or on counter top and peel.
- Rinse with cold water.


Here’s what you do…
1) Sterilize the glass jar.
2) Put the peeled hard boiled eggs in the glass jar.
3) In a pot bring the remaining ingredients to a boil and simmer for 5 minutes.
4) Pour over the eggs in the jar.
5) Be sure the eggs are covered - you should have plenty of brine – but add a bit of water if necessary.
6) Cover and leave on the counter overnight.
7) Refrigerate for at least 8 days before sampling.
8) Enjoy with beer, crackers & salt and pepper.
9) Leave the windows open.


** Sterilized Jar
- Place jar and its lid (not on the jar) in a large pot & cover the jar with water and boil for 5 minutes. Remove with tongs – it’s friggin hot.

If you can figure out how to hard boil those fresh eggs let is know. I’ve tried about everything and they just don’t peel worth a darn, half the egg gets ripped apart with tiny pieces of shells in em. I love egg salad but it’s to hard to make with fresh eggs.

As far as preparing the egg the biggest mistake folks make is boiling the crap out of them. Start from cold, bring just to a boil and shut it down, lid on and let them sit. Makes for the best textured egg. As for clean easy peeling of fresh free rangers I've tried every trick in the book and I don't have it completely figured out yet. Anxious to hear how the steaming works, that I hadn't heard of.
