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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality beets: Fresh beets will have a deep red color and firm texture. Avoid beets that are wilted or have blemishes.
  • Peel the beets before cooking: Peeling the beets will help to remove the tough outer skin and make them easier to slice.
  • Slice the beets thinly: Thinly sliced beets will cook more evenly and absorb the pickling liquid better.
  • Use a variety of spices: The spices used in the pickling liquid will flavor the beets. Common spices used include mustard seeds, celery seeds, cloves, and allspice.
  • Let the beets pickle for at least 24 hours: The longer the beets pickle, the more flavor they will absorb.

Conclusion:

Pennsylvania Pickled Beets and Eggs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish. They are perfect for a picnic, potluck, or holiday gathering. The beets are sweet and tangy, with a slightly crunchy texture. The eggs are firm and flavorful. This dish is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
