Pickled Eggs

[jbran23]

I was wondering how much pickeling hardboiled eggs changes its nutritional value and if so, does it make it unhealthy?

Good question!
I love pickled eggs, but how do I make them?

Good question!

The only way I have ever made them is by using the juice leftover in a jar of pickled sausages bought from the store. If anyone knows how to make the juice from scratch I would love to know.

Wow I had some homemade pickled sausage a couple weeks ago and I feel in love.
I would love to find out the recipe.

Pickled eggs with ginger
Ingredients
16 hard-boiled eggs (see our section on how to boil an egg)
2 pints (1.1 l) of vinegar (malt or cider)
½ oz (15g) of ginger
½ oz (15g) of black pepper
½ oz (15g) of allspice
Method
Whilst the cooked boiled eggs are cooling, prepare the pickling liquid.
Place all of the ingredients into a medium sized saucepan, stir them together and heat to boiling.
Once the liquid reaches boiling point, reduce the heat and let the liquid simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and leave to cool to room temperature.
Meanwhile, place the peeled hard-boiled eggs into a very clean large jar.
Once the pickling solution has cooled, pour it over the eggs in the jar and seal the jar tightly with the lid.
Store the jar in a cool and dark cupboard for at least a month. The eggs will be ready to eat after this time.

Is ther like a basic recipe?
Im overwhelmed with what one to try!
Lol

Of course you know that the prime pickling ingredient, vinegar, is extremely high in carbs right?

[jbran23]

The British Pub recipe sounds awesome. Thanks Matt! Love your avi too by the way. How many carbs do you think it adds Elcrisp?

[matt77]

Of course you know that the prime pickling ingredient, vinegar, is extremely high in carbs right?

What makes you say that? All the vinegar I have ever seen has pretty much just trace amounts of any Macro. Well it does contain a very small amount of potassium. In fact, vinegar is 95% water and 5% acetic acid so its def. not high in carb unless someone added sugar to it.

I say again, Straight Vinegar has NO CARBS in it. Actually the acetic acid has been shown to slow down the absorbtion of high GI carbs.


Also, Im just speaking of Apple Cider, White, and Red Wine Vinegar. Some other special Vinegars like Balsamic does have some carbs in it.


I'm looking for the basic recipe too, Stand By.

I have used the first recipe but added a hand full of fresh peppers to spice things up. Also, I ate the hell out of them (like three a day) while I was in Orlando during the high summer months to help with the cramping, etc. Keep in mind that when you began to boil the mixture it will stink to high heaven so make sure you do in a well vented area and don't have a girl coming over cause I cleared out my condo boiling it!!! lol. I beleive the beet juice recipe is what you see in the stores?

basically the main thing that pickles the eggs or anything is the vinegar, then you can add whatever you want to spice it up if you like. i kind of like the idea of using the leftover juice from the store bought pickle jar! Good idea…

I made some last night with a large jar filled with about 2 pints of apple cider vinegar.
Hard boiled the eggs dropped them in.
Should be good to go in about a week or so.

Why not? You dont even know how many eggs I pickled!
And besides I had room for alot more cider vinegar but I put about 1 1/2 cups of water in because the flavoring was a bit strong.
