Ingredients

• 1 can sliced beets
• 1 cup cider vinegar
• 1/4 onion, sliced
• 1/3 cup granulated sugar
• a few peppercorns (optional)
• several cloves (optional)
• 6 hard boiled eggs, peeled

Preparation

Step 1

Place eggs in the bottom of a quart size glass jar.

In a medium saucepan, add the vinegar, beets with juice, onion, sugar, and spices (if using). 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 mixture over the eggs in the jar, covering completely. Close jar and refrigerate 1-3 days. The longer the eggs sit in the pickling juice, the more the pickling juice will penetrate the eggs.
