PA Dutch pickled eggs & red beets image

A standard dish at picnics and dinner tables across Central PA. These take a little time, but are so easy. Also adds nice color to any of your meals! You do the beets & marinade first, then the eggs the next day. This works out great for me, as my kids love the eggs, & I love the beets. I add an onion to this sometimes, and...

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 can(s) 14-oz. sliced red beets
1 c apple cider vinegar
1/2 c sugar
4 whole cloves
2 cinnamon sticks
6 hard boiled eggs, cooled & peeled
salt & pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Drain the red beets & reserve the juice. To the juice, add enough water so you're getting one cup of liquid.
  • 2. Add liquid to saucepan, & add vinegar, sugar, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and some salt. Bring to a boil, stirring. Pour the sauce over the beets. Let cool just a bit.
  • 3. Transfer to a large glass bowl or jar (my Meme Koletar had her special "pickled beet jar".) Refrigerate this for about 12 hours or so. When that time is up....
  • 4. Add the peeled, hard-boiled eggs to the marinade & refrigerate overnight or 8-12 hours. Make sure you stir the eggs every so often so that the beet color becomes even on them. Nothing is sadder than seeing a pickled egg that only has one side of it lovely & deep purple. Then, cut the eggs in half & serve w/ the beets. Sprinkle w/ black pepper to your taste.
