LANCE'S BALSAMIC PICKLED EGGS
A great (but secret) recipe for pickled eggs based upon the tradition of bluenose recipes for pickled ears from frost-bitten travelers who, due to frostbite, have lost their ears and donated them to a local Alaskan bar/pub in the area as a gag, but still available to this day (03/04/2009) as an edible bar treat to those in the know. Don't worry, these are just pickled eggs with some East Tennessee (Cocke County) tradition added. Note: These can provide for a very foul smell from the consumer, so, provider beware!!!

PIERRE'S BLACK EGGS
I love pickles. You name them and I'm in the front of the crowd, cheering. Pickled anything but I really love pickled eggs and I'm constantly experimenting with them. I was talking to Keith, a pub buddy, about pickles and we got on the subject of vinegar and he said balsamic vinegar and the light bulbs went off. Quick, to the files, research pickled eggs, download several recipes, think about it for a while, run off a few test batches, adjust the flavor a few times and you wind up here, Pierre's Black Eggs.

BBQ EGGS
Pickled eggs are popular bar food everywhere, but at Backyard Barbecue in Tompkinsville, Ky., they come with a fiery twist. The eggs are pickled in an incendiary amalgam of cayenne, melted butter and vinegar. This is the classic dip for Monroe County pork-shoulder steaks, repurposed to pickle eggs. The preparation is simple, but budget seven days to complete the pickling process.

Steps:
- Make the dip: Place all the ingredients except the eggs in a deep pot along with 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat until the butter and lard are melted, whisking to dissolve the salt, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat and gently simmer the sauce until richly flavored, about 15 minutes. Correct the seasoning, adding salt, cayenne or pepper to taste.
- Place the eggs in a large pot with cold water to cover by 4 inches. Gradually bring eggs to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and briskly simmer for 11 minutes.
- Drain the eggs in a colander and rinse with cold water until cool enough to handle. Shell them under cold running water. Place them in a deep bowl or container and pour the dip over them.
- Pickle the eggs in the refrigerator for 7 days. The butter and lard will congeal on top. Break through and discard this. Drain the eggs and serve.

Steps:
- Bring the vinegar, 3/4 cup water, 3 tablespoons salt, the coriander seeds, mustard seeds, sugar, onions and chiles to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar. Reduce the heat, cover and let the brine simmer for 5 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pierce each egg all the way through about 6 times with a cake tester or toothpick. Put 2 eggs in each of 3 glass pint jars with lids, and tuck the celery and dill in around them. Ladle in enough brine to cover the eggs, add 2 more eggs to each jar and ladle in more brine to cover, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Close the jars, let cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
- To serve, halve or quarter the eggs, and spoon some pickling liquid and vegetables over the top. (The eggs will keep, covered by liquid and refrigerated, for up to 5 days.)
BOURBON BASALMIC PICKLED EGGS
I'd been doing a lot of travelling in my camper van, and wanted to figure out a way to have soft boiled eggs easily accessible. Pickled eggs was the solution. I played with several recipes, and then came up with this on a whim. All I had was basalmic vinegar on hand, and a bottle of bourbon. It worked out beautifully.

Steps:
- 1. Remove eggs from refrigerator and bring to room temperature.
- 2. Boil together the bourbon, basalmic vinegar, and salt until reduced by about 1/4. Taste to adjust salt level. Should be a little salty, like potato chip salty, to the taste, because the eggs will take some of that salt in the pickling process. Refrigerate to cool completely.
- 3. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
- 4. Use tongs to place eggs in a single layer in the boiling water, then set a timer for 6 minutes and 45 seconds.
- 5. When the timer is up, remove eggs to a cold water bath, and repeat step 4 until all eggs are boiled.
- 6. Using a large spoon, carefully peel the eggs while they're still warm inside. They will be very fragile because the yolk is still quite soft at this point.
- 7. Gently place the peeled eggs in a sterilized container, then pour over the bourbon basalmic brine. Depending upon your container, and how many eggs don't make it due to breakage, you may need to make more brine, or you may have leftover brine. I use a flat lock-tite container. You simply want to make sure the eggs are completely immersed in the brine.
- 8. Refrigerate for two days, and enjoy.
BOURBON BALSAMIC SYRUP
Consider this a recipe for a classic steak sauce, updated; that's bourbon syrup, made with real ingredients in a flash. Sure, you could buy a sauce at the grocery store, but making it yourself is quicker and tastier. Serve it alongside a grilled rib-eye.

Steps:
- Put the balsamic vinegar and bourbon in a small nonreactive pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then immediately lower the heat so the mixture bubbles gently.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces to about 1/2 cup, 15 to 20 minutes; it should coat the back of a spoon and will thicken a little more as it cools. Salt to taste, and serve warm or at room temperature.
