- GARLIC PICKLED EGGS (adapted from _All_About_Pickling_. San
- Francisco: Ortho, 1975. p.75)
- 24 eggs, hard boiled and peeled
- 1 T. dried tarragon (or 4 sprigs fresh)
- 24 cloves garlic, slivered
- 1.5 quarts cider vinegar
- 1 t. mustard seed
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 t. cardamon seed
- 2 t black peppercorns
- 2 t. salt
-
- Pack the eggs in jars and divide tarragon and garlic evenly among
- them.
- Combine remaining ingredients in a pot and bring to a boil.
- Simmer gently 15 min.
- Strain hot vinegar over the eggs. Seal and process 10 min.
-
- Makes 24 eggs (ca. 3 qts.)
-
- This recipe uses 3 times as much garlic as the original called
- for, but I've used more. It's hard to overdo the garlic in this
- one. It also works well with quail eggs, if you can stand peeling
- all those little things. The eggs end up a soft beige on the
- outside, white and yellow inside.

- SPICED PICKLED EGGS (Adapted from _All_About_Pickling_. San
- Francisco: Ortho, 1975. p.75)
-
- 12 hard boiled eggs, peeled
- 3 c. white vinegar
- 1 T. minced ginger root
- 1 T. minced horseradish root
- 1 t. whole cloves
- 1 t. white peppercorns
- 1 t. salt
- sliced radishes
-
- Pack eggs and radishes in wide-mouthed sterilized jars.
- Combine other ingredients, bring to a boil and simmer 10 min.
- Pour boiling liquid over the eggs, filling jar completely.
- Seal at once. Process 10 minutes.
-
- Makes 12 eggs (ca. 1 1/2 qts.)
-
- The radishes give the eggs a nice rosy exterior. They bleach out
- completely, and taste quite nice once they're pickled. Beets
- would give a stronger color, but I haven't tried using them, and
- I'm not sure what they'd do to the flavor.
