I would like to ask the knowledgeable ladies on this forum if you have made pickled eggs and what you think of this recipe. I want to make this for a Christmas gift and have never made pickled eggs. I think a pub style is what the recipient would want, as I also saw other types of pickled eggs. Anyone have a tried and true recipe or suggestions? Thanks for any assistance.
