I also like to add the following.
1 tablespoon of mustard seed and 1/2 onion cut up in slices.
1 tablespoon of tabasco or red pepper flakes to give them a little zing.

The onion will leave a sweet after taste.

If you want a little more heat, boil the red pepper flakes with the pickling spice, then add to the jar.

Enjoy!

Put your eggs in whatever size jar you want to use. Fill the jar 2/3 full of vinegar, then top off with Louisiana Hot Sauce or another brand of hot sauce. Also you can add such things as, green beans, sliced onions, mushrooms, carrots, bell pepper, garlic, jalapenos and such ........ It all pickles well.

Try smoking your eggs instead of boiling them. You won't regret it.
