I've got lots of eggs from my chooks and would love some tips from anyone who has done this before and it will be a first for me. How long should I boil them for and should they be hot or cold before I put them in the liquid. Should the liquid be cool?

YUM! We lived in Canada years ago where we were introduced to pickled eggs, I never liked hard boiled eggs but pickled were delicious. hard boil the eggs as normal, shell them and pop into your jars. Cold is best. Pour over the pickling liquid while hot then put on the lids. Good luck. These are definitely "love 'em or hate 'em" food!

Hi There, here's my recipe PICKLED EGGS 16 to 20 hard boiled eggs 1.5 litres cider vinegar 3 finely chopped chillis (dried is fine) 15 black peppercorns 15 whole cloves 4 cinnamon sticks 3 tsp whole allspice Peel the hard boiled eggs, allow them to cool, and place them in a large jar that has been sterilized and cooled. Heat the vinegar and spices in a saucepan until the liquid begins to boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 10 mins. Remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature. Pour the spiced vinegar over the eggs covering them completely. Seal the jar tightly and store in a cool dark place for a minimum of 2 weeks before using.

Lovely recipe, thank you. How long do they keep for? Should I keep them in the fridge?

I have a recipe with beet root juice which tickled my fancy. It colours the eggs. Might give both recipes a go. I've got so many eggs from my four chooks and hate waste.

OK but by the look of the cut eggs at the bottom they have been boiled before the freezing and shelling - correct ?

I have pickled eggs & used a similar recipe to mandi @ #4 & only have one left after about a year & it looks fine, but I did keep them in my fridge.
