My Pennsylvania Dutch grandmother, Florence Walter, used to make these. They are especially great for picnics. The combination of pickled eggs, beets, and onions is really something special. A great way to use up left-over Easter-eggs too!

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH RED BEET EGGS AND PICKLED BEETS



Pennsylvania Dutch Red Beet Eggs and Pickled Beets image

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.

PICKLED EGGS AND RED BEETS, PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH STYLE



Pickled Eggs and Red Beets, Pennsylvania Dutch Style image

Learned to love this when we lived in Pennsylvania. It's a special treat for my son. From the US Regional Cookbook, Chicago Culinary Arts Institute, 1947

Provided by Molly53

Categories     < 60 Mins

Time 40m

Yield 1 1/2 pints

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 pint small beet (canned beets are fine)
1/4 cup sugar (I use granulated, but you can use brown also)
1/2 cup vinegar
1/2 cup water (I use beet juice for brighter color)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon whole mixed pickling spice
6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled

Steps:

  • Cook, drain, and skin beets if not using canned.
  • Combine remaining ingredients, except eggs.
  • Pour over beets and cook for about 5 minutes.
  • Cool.
  • Place eggs in a large jar and pour cooled beet mixture over.
  • Place in the refrigerator.
  • Let pickle at least two days before using.

Tips:

  • For the best results, use fresh, firm beets. Avoid beets that are wilted or have blemishes.
  • When cooking the beets, do not overcook them. They should be tender but still slightly firm.
  • If you are using canned beets, rinse them thoroughly before using.
  • To make the pickled beets, use a white vinegar that is at least 5% acidity. This will help to preserve the beets and prevent them from becoming too soft.
  • You can add other spices and seasonings to the pickled beets, such as garlic, dill, or mustard seeds.
  • The pickled beets can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 months.
  • To make the red beet eggs, use hard-boiled eggs that have been peeled and cooled.
  • The red beet eggs can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

Conclusion:

Pennsylvania Dutch Red Beet Eggs and Pickled Beets are a delicious and traditional dish that is perfect for Easter or any other special occasion. The pickled beets are sweet, sour, and slightly crunchy, while the red beet eggs are creamy and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
