I know my grandmother used to make Pickled beets,I was never a big fan of pickled beets.  |
Oh say it aint so dude.. Beets of any kind are amazing. My blonde Swedish wife  makes a pickled beet salad for special dinners that is so good. |
Roxy...........only one good thing came from beets......and that was my grandmothers home made beet hosreradish  .My mother makes White Borsch and you drop in a big tablespoon full of beet horseradish and your good to go......I must ask my mother to share the recipe with me......make up a little batch.

MacEggs recipe calls for 2 tbls per dozen eggs......I used 3 tbls for my 22 eggs....seemed like enough.

Always open to any new ideas that make eggs peel.

I use a can of regular beets and mix them and the juice in with my eggs(and pickling brew. As a kid I never knew there was any other way to make them.

| Last night I hard boiled some eggs with 1 tsp. of baking soda in the water. This seemed to make the pealing process alot easier. Those eggs were fresh from the store too. First batch of eggs I boiled with 1/4 cup of vinegar in the water they pealed alright but not like boiling with baking soda. JM2C |

Did you pierce the shell first, as others have said they do? |

I used vinegar when I did mine but they were fresh eggs,I really don't know if its luck when they peel or not. I have tried the baking soda method awhile back on a few eggs because I like a couple with my lunch at work...and they peeled well........I think on my next batch of pickled eggs ....I will try the baking soda method again just to see if there really is a difference.

In this episode of Jacques Pepin, he pierces the egg at the large end, simmers them for about 10 minutes. After draining the hot water, he shakes the pan lightly to crack the shells, then fills it with cold water and ice. He ultimately peels them under running cold water, and didn't seem to have any problems.
I get the feeling that we could dry dozens of different methods and never really find the holy grail! |

I grew up eating eggs pickled in the juice from canned pickled beets. Turned them as purple as Barney's balls. It's an old Pennsylvania Dutch thing.
However, my wife absolutely hates beets in any form so I haven't had them in awhile. |

Methinks you are correct, Sir. But the search goes on regardless.

| OwenStubbs yes I did pierce the shell. Did it just like MacEgg describes. When I do it again I will use baking soda. |

Well it has been exactly 3 weeks since I made my couple jars of pickled eggs......cracked them open today and gave them a shot.....they were good.....It was a close race but I think the steak and eggs was my favorite.
I think when this years pepper crop comes in im going to do a spicy version of the regular pickled egg.
