PICKLED RED BEET EGGS

My Pennsylvania Dutch grandmother, Florence Walter, used to make these. They are especially great for picnics. The combination of pickled eggs, beets, and onions is really something special. A great way to use up left-over Easter-eggs too!

PENNSYLVANIA DUTCH RED BEET EGGS AND PICKLED BEETS



Pennsylvania Dutch Red Beet Eggs and Pickled Beets image

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.

PA DUTCH PICKLED EGGS & RED BEETS



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.
