Or do I just boil them, and stick them in some vinegar? I have never made them before, in fact - I don't even think I have HAD a pickled egg!!

I have never pickled eggs but I sure do like eating them. I am very sure that though that you just boil and sling in vinegar...I thnk the main issue would be a clean jar - like when you do jam. I think I may try it - I LOVE pickled eggs...thanks for reminding me!

Sarsons do a pickling spice mix to add to the vinegar.

 

I usually hard boil the eggs, then heat the vinegar with the spices and allow to cool. Fill a sterilized jar with the eggs and top up with the cooled liquid. Keep it somewhere cool and dark for at least 2-3 months. Enjoy!

I'm intrigued, I remember the huge jar of pickled eggs on the counter of the local fish and chip shop when I was little. No-one ever seemed to buy them, as the jar was always full

 

A quick google revealed the following;

**and this one**

 

There's even a pickled egg website, http://www.pickledeggs.co.uk I've obviously led a sheltered life

 

I want to try making these now, what do you eat them with? Salad?

being a veggie since I was 12...I was the looney who bought one - so if you looked carefully the jar was usually open!

We (Dad) pickle quail eggs, just boil them and they don't need peeling, the vinegar does that and they only take a couple of days/weeks, not long.
