PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH RED BEET EGGS AND PICKLED BEETS

These are simple to make and my family's favorite. We prefer these because they use less sugar than some other recipes and no brown sugar at all. I never cared for beets until I tried these. From my Best-Loved Pennsylvania Dutch Recipes booklet that, sadly, is falling apart page-by-page. The longer they marinate, the redder the eggs become. Great in salads and a beautiful decoration on any platter. NOTE: Prep time does not include hard-boiling eggs or marinating time. 09/16/07 - There are two basic types of red beet eggs and this is my favorite. If you use cider vinegar and add cloves, cinnamon and allspice these become more like spiced apples and closer to recipe #86599. Since these spices can trigger my asthma, I find this simple recipe perfect.

  • 3. When its mixed well...Add some Beets then Eggs, Beets then Eggs until all is covered with beets n juice.

The skins will then slip off easily. - If you don't have time to cook the beets, you can use canned beets. Just be sure to drain and rinse them well before using. - To make the eggs easier to peel, place them in a bowl of cold water and let them sit for a few minutes before peeling.
