Thanks Frannie! I think this is the way my Mom made them.

I grow, pickle and can my own beets every year, and my husband gets so nervous that there won't be enough "juice" left to put in the fridge to pickle some eggs. Of course I always make sure there is extra. And throughout the year, as I open the beets, I save the juice to pickle eggs any time we want. Pickled eggs were my main craving when I was pregnant.

My "recipe" is even easier: buy canned pickled beets, remove the beets to a plastic container in the refrig. & put 3 hard cooked eggs in the juice in the can & refrigerate overnight. They are a pretty dark pink & are great sliced w/the beets on lettuce with soup & a sandwich for lunch.

Pickled eggs were very big at my house growing up. We made them a lot and so did Grandma. They were on every holiday table. We make ours with canned beet juice, sugar, vinegar, and cinnamon sticks. Sometimes a few cloves were added. I love pickled eggs. They are actually one of my favorite foods!

I never ate a pickled egg but they sound really good and I'm not much of an egg person.

Would like your recipe, Boop. What city are you near in Central Florida?

This is along the same lines as what my dad taught me to do. When you finish a big jar of pickles, just put hard-boiled eggs right in the jar with the pickle juice and refrigerate for a couple weeks. They are the best!

Zhills, I am near the Leesburg/Clermont area. I'll make a wild guess that you are around the Zephryhills area?
