Pickled Eggs

Not your corner store pickled eggs

How do you like your eggs? I’ve scrambled them, deviled ’em southern style with friends, and fried ’em Tex-Mex with homemade garden salsa and spam. Now, I’ve fallen back to the old American tradition of pickling eggs. Homemade pickled eggs are surprisingly delicious and take on any flavor infused with them. I drove up to Wharton, Georgia with a friend to purchase cayenne pepper pickles from a local grower. We brought them home and placed our hardboiled eggs in the vinegar solution. Two days later the flavor had permeated the eggs. I then tried a variety of pickling methods, sweet-beet pickled eggs with apple cider vinegar and spices and dill spiced eggs.
