Alligator Eggs Pickled Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with water. Bring to a boil, remove from heat, and let eggs stand in hot water for 15 minutes. Remove eggs from hot water, cool under cold running water, and peel.
• Bring vinegar, sugar, and salt to a boil in a saucepan until sugar is dissolved. Remove from heat.
• Place eggs, garlic, and bay leaf in a 1-quart mason jar; top with vinegar mixture. Seal jar and refrigerate for at least 1 week.

Steps:

• Peel freshly boiled eggs when room temperature. Do not use refrigerated-cooled eggs. Carefully place room-temp eggs (too hot eggs will stick together) into a glass jar (preferably a pint-size canning jar). Allow for at least 1/2 inch to the rim to be sure the eggs are covered completely with the brine.
• To a non-reactive saucepan add together the water and vinegar. (You will want a 50/50 ratio of vinegar to water.). Heat just until warmed.
• In the meantime to the eggs in the jar, add the crab boil and crushed red pepper flakes or Sriracha.
• Pour the warmed vinegar/water mixture over the eggs and screw on lid. The seasonings will mix throughout the jar as you pour the liquid. Carefully flip the jar and swirl it a bit to make sure the spices mix around.
• Leave on kitchen counter for about 1 hour, then place in refrigerator.
• Allow the jar to sit for about a week to absorb the seasoning.
• Keep refrigerated until ready to use. Note: You can take them out of the brine and bring them to room temperature before eating, if you wish.
