My grandmother would always place a large pickle jar full of pickled beets & eggs next to a couple baskets of colored eggs on the dinner table at Easter. I talked my mother into making them for Easter after my grandmother passed away. Thirty-five years later I started making them myself. Much easier than I ever imagined. I make them about four times a year. Taste better if you wait a week to eat. We always wrap pickling spices up in unbleached cheesecloth to cook in the brine and it gets added to the jar. I cut the sugar way down and use stevia to give sweetness.
That's the closest recipe to the pickled beets we make that I've seen yet. Just need to add a cinnamon stick to the onions, beet juice, vinegar, cloves and sugar. We've grown beets for most of my 65 years, and we always make pickled eggs with the juice we make while canning the beets. I make a little extra juice, and make a gallon or two of eggs at canning time. We usually can up to 100 qts. of beets, and when we eat them we make eggs with the left over juice. Good stuff!! Your chicken feet comment cracked me up. My Grandma had chickens her entire life, and we had chicken dinner at her house almost every Sunday. When I was a kid my aunt got me eating the chicken feet. As I got older, I discovered it was pretty disgusting, but she ate them her entire life. By the way, my youngest son gave me this user name. He liked Winnie the Poo.
Nice video, I love beets. One of my favorite is to bake them like potatoes in the oven then peel and add butter salt and pepper. Pickled eggs are a great snack and I remember them setting on the bar.
Oh how my step-down loves pickled eggs. Thanks again for teaching me to can. My husband loves my canned kraut. Thanks! Love and best wishes from Tennessee.
Had to comment after your beet talk. When I was young and going hunting with my father and his buddies he always took along a jar of pickled eggs. But the rule was never eat them till the day was done. Found out much later that it was because, well you didnt want to be out there and have to pass gas....It will drive off every critter for miles....
In a pinch, or when they are out of season, you can substitute canned beets and use your own brine to can some pickled beets. Semper Fi my Marine brother!
Oh?? I'd love to try making these eggs!!! How long can you keep them for? wait for a wk before they are ready...then how can they last?? Must go to the fridge or can I leave them out?
What would chicken feets taste like? I say "feets" because it sounds like more than one foot and also sounds better than "foots". Maybe I'm overthinking this. Anyway, what about rap groups?
FINALLY a video with FRESH beets with pickled eggs! I enjoyed your recipes, will try to make this weekend.
