How did I miss that when I was typing up that recipe!?!?! Thanks for the heads up. I have not personally tried any of those sweeteners. I am assuming that it would affect the flavor but not sure how. If you decide to try it let us know. I use monkfruit, stevia, allulose and erythritol with no issues at all. Delicious and healthy eggs without all the sugar.
I actually just made two more jars of those today too! Table salt has anti-caking agents in there, and it may cloud the water in an unappealing way.
I think the mechanics of the Instant Pot and your steam method are probably the same. Yay for easy peeling eggs! How would you use that or apple cider vinegar for pickling? It is not generally recommended that you use homemade apple cider vinegar in canning recipes because they say it does not have the same carefully controlled acidity as store bought vinegars.
I use my homemade for everything and it tests out the same after a month of fermenting. Do you think the pickled eggs in the store are pressure canned?
I have purchased beet pickle, mustard pickle and dill pickled eggs made by the Amish canning company. They are good. I have a pressure canner. As to whether they pressure can them or not, I honestly have no idea…but that is a good question.
My family often pickles the eggs and red beets in the same jar. Mom and Grandma just used regular, iodized salt, it never seemed to be a problem. Waiting for them to get nice and pickled…now that was a problem. I have not tried many variations, I am looking forward to trying some with jalapenos, maybe try some with the spices for curry….
I was sadly disappointed when I tried one of those ones at a bar 40 years ago. It was rubbery and nasty! I figured they must have done some kind of canning treatment, it was probably just some preservative. Homemade spicy jalapeno pickled eggs are my favorite.
I can highly recommend you try them! Am I doing something wrong that they get so hard…or do I just…not like them?? Good luck! I have a gallon jar and keep them in the fridge. What did I do wrong??? My beet pickled eggs turned out more of a grayish brownish pink color with light pink tones on the inside and they were horribly salty!
Two tablespoons of salt seemed like a bit much for a single jar. The eggs also shrunk up and were quite tough. Did you use a quart sized jar?
You could try decreasing the salt if they seem too salty. I am not sure why the color would be off or they would shrink and be tough. Can you tell me exactly what you did? How long did you cook the eggs? This is THE only way I have been able to successfully hard boil and peel our farm fresh eggs!! I have tried every single way u see the sun to no avail!
We love pickled eggs here as well! Came across your recipe and was intrigued by the steaming boiled eggs and am totally infatuated after trying it! The texture is just perfect! After that was such a success I decided trying the pickling too. That was last week with 8 eggs… I have already made two more batches or more than a dozen each — they are so delicious!! Can I substitute pure liquid stevia extract for sugar in your pickled egg recipes?
Can I substitute stevia extract for the sugar in the brine? Yes, that should be fine preservation wise. The preservation is coming from the vinegar either way, keep them in the fridge. Best of luck, let me know how it goes! My family loves pickled beets. I will have to pay more attention to my vinegar liquid ratio.
I was going to save and freeze leftover juice in freezer to use for eggs when i get enough. From what i read i think i will do bread and butter eggs and add onions to it. My daughter loves dill pickles so will do that for her. I was going to save pickle juice and use it but not sure ov acid amount.
Is there a way to measure it? Check Amazon Walmart and other retailers. Let me correct my comment by saying that it is possible to test for acidity but in order to get accurate results, it is recommended that you use a pH meter. Since a good quality pH meter can be pricey, it is generally recommended that the average home canner use tested recipes.
You could probably do that. If so, you might risk it spoiling especially if there are any food particles in there. Seldom using the same combination of ingredients. One of my favorites is to include sliced chipotle peppers in adobo sauce. Can I add eggs to this jar. If you still have too many eggs after preserving and pickling you can give the rest to agencies who feed the homeless or needy. In the link you provided on why it is unwise to can pickled eggs, it was regarding a batch of home-made pickled eggs that had developed Botulism.
It is suggested that the pricking of the egg is what likely introduced the bacteria which was then provided good growth conditions by poor storage and handling. The safe conclusion would be to not pick the eggs or make certain your instrument is clean i. Just wanted to compliment you on this article. I have been looking at pickled egg recipes now for several weeks and had questions about the amount of salt or sugar used as well as the ratio between vinegar and water.
Your article answered all of my questions and has brought everything together for me. I now have confidence on using and tweaking a recipe to my taste. Thank you!! No need to get the expensive stuff for this application, the stuff from a dollar store works just fine. After a soak in the dark stuff for a day, the eggs take on a lovely mahogany hue and a deliciously savory flavor. I would really like to see your documentations of where people have DIED from eating home canned eggs. My family has canned eggs and all kinds of other things for 5 generations, and have never had any issues.
The amish can eggs and sell them. We always recommend following guidelines for safe canning procedures to avoid causing someone to get sick. The National Center for Home Food Preservation states that there are no home canning directions for pickled eggs and that there are cases where home pickled eggs stored at room temperature have caused botulism.
This simply is not a risk that is worth taking in my opinion. First off, great post on making pickled eggs. We started a flock of 15 chickens last July, and they are now laying a dozen a day. I decided to try pickling the surplus. I have to add my two cents on the science of peeling.
I am using your steaming method. It works like a charm IF the eggs are a few days old 4 das, maybe. If they are, that membrane just under the shell separates smoothly from the egg white, and you end up with an unblemished egg. If any of you are old hands at making pickled eggs, please feel free to share your expertise or favorite recipe in the comments. For steamed hard cooked eggs, place in a steamer rack over boiling water, cover, and steam for 15 minutes. Remove from heat and rinse with cold water.
For beet and beet juice for the beet pickled eggs, simmer the chopped beets in a cup of water, covered, until tender, minutes, or used canned beets. Use the beet juice from the cooking water, or the juice from canned beets. Peel the eggs and place in the bottom of a clean, quart-sized glass jar. In a medium saucepan, add the vinegar, water or beet juice if using , the onion and jalapeno if using , sugar, and spices. Bring to a boil and cook, uncovered, until the sugar has dissolved and the onions are translucent, about 5 minutes.
Remove from heat and let cool a few minutes. Pour the vinegar onion mixture over the eggs in the jar, covering the eggs completely. If you are making the beet pickled eggs, place some or all of the cooked beets in with the eggs in the jar this will help to bring color to the eggs, and you will have pickled beets as well.
Secure close the jar's cover. Refrigerate up to a month. The pickled eggs will be ready to eat after a few days. The longer the eggs sit in the pickling juice, the more the pickling juice will penetrate the eggs. Actively scan device characteristics for identification. Use precise geolocation data.

Another cooking method when you are less concerned about peeling of ultra-fresh eggs is to make a pinhole in the large end of the egg, place the eggs in a single layer in a saucepan, and cover with cold water to an inch above the layer of eggs. Turn down the heat and simmer for 15 minutes. Place the eggs in cold water and when cool, remove shells.
Crack the shell of the egg all over. The peeling may take place under cold running water to help wash the shell off the egg. The container used for the eggs should be one that can be closed or sealed tightly; glass canning jars work well. The eggs are to be completely covered with the pickling solution during storage. A quart-size canning jar will hold about one dozen medium sized eggs. For sterilizing glass jars, see Sterilization of Empty Jars.
After making the eggs, the eggs require some time to season i. Keep them refrigerated at all times.
If small eggs are used, 1 to 2 weeks are usually allowed for seasoning to occur. Medium or large eggs may require 2 to 4 weeks to become well seasoned. Use the eggs within 3 to 4 months for best quality.
