Growing up, my cousins always had giant jars of pickled beets with eggs and onions. It was a holiday tradition.

I have some eggs I need to use up and I mentioned to my friend that I wanted to try and pickle them. Lo and behold I open up KZfaq and I find this video waiting for me. What a coincidence😅 I’m grateful though this is perfect!

If you're just going to put in fridge don't waste canning lids. Just let cool and use regular lids. If you come up a little short on pickling liquid you can top off with white vinegar. Pickling seasoning is good to add as well.

@Delicious.Isthmus 3 ай бұрын

Good suggestions 👍. When we do shelf preserves we use only new lids so I have a ton of old canning lids around and that's what I used here.

The eggs are delicious, I'm sure you will love them. An isthmus is a narrow piece of land with water on both sides connecting two larger land masses. I live on the isthmus of Chignecto which connects the province of Nova Scotia to the rest of North America.

If you put each jar in a pan that has water that has been boiled it can be kept warm and then remove it and then fill those with your mix and pour jars full of hot liquid, those jars will not burst. You can also put a table knife in the jar before you pour the hot liquid.

@Delicious.Isthmus 3 ай бұрын

If you want more crunch, soak overnight on ice sprinkled with salt in the fridge before pickling the next day. An ice bath pulls excess water from the veg and helps develop a better crunch. I did not show this step in my video for simplicity sake.
