Solving Omlet Smart Auto Door Timing Issues with Alexa Routines

My boys love a pickled egg with their fish and chips but I'm sure the ones sold in the chippie with be battery eggs. I've bought a jar of free range pickled eggs from waitrose but that is quite expensive when we have 'free' eggs. (although as all my girls are ageing it's 1 egg between 6 of them at the mo )

 

I thought I'd try making a small jar.

I think you just heat white vinegar with a few pickling spices and then put your eggs in sterilised jars and pour the infused vinegar over them until they're covered.

 

If you google, there's loads of recipes to give you ideas.

 

I'm going to make some too.

If you are really lazy, you can buy Sarson's pickling vinegar, which comes in a nice big, wide neck pickling jar! You don't have to heat the vinegar and spices as they've done it for you, and the jar holds 12 to 15 eggs (so it says on the side). Just pop your hard boiled eggs in and pour over the vinegar, leave for a couple of weeks

I've had 2 of those sarsons jars of vinegar sitting around for ages, think i'll do some this afternoon then if it's that easy!

Be careful not to crack the egg white - it makes a vile, smelly mess

 

I thought the vinegar would preserve it but 2 months later the smell when opened......

thanks lesley, I've also been reading that it's better to heat the vinegar, would you concur?

[Lesley]

I heated the vinegar for mine - have never tried using cold so don't know if it makes a difference. I also make a sweet vinegar as I prefer them not too acidic.

[Guest]

can i have your recipe pls lesley as i prefer sweet to sour and if you have a tried and tested recipe that would be great!

[Guest]

did you see what they made on 'giles and sue live the good life'?

[Lesley]

I haven't watched it yet - I'll have to catch up.....

 

No recipe I'm afraid Poet - I just added sugar until the vinegar tasted right I added brown sugar and they looked a bit murky by the time I'd finished, they tasted fine though. I did add some beetroot to some of the vinegar and took it out before adding to the eggs, it gives a beautiful colour! I would use white vinegar and white sugar if they are for presents.
