Bourbon Basalmic Pickled Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• Place the eggs into a large pot cover with water by 1 inch. Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a boil over high heat; remove from the heat and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Pour out the hot water and cool completely under cold running water; peel and place in a glass jar large enough to hold them.
• Combine the onions, balsamic vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, peppercorns, beet juice, and cayenne chiles in a deep saucepan over high heat; bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Pour into the glass jar with the eggs. Seal the jar with the lid. Refrigerate 4 to 5 days before serving.

Steps:

• Make the dip: Place all the ingredients except the eggs in a deep pot along with 1/2 cup water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat until the butter and lard are melted, whisking to dissolve the salt, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat and gently simmer the sauce until richly flavored, about 15 minutes. Correct the seasoning, adding salt, cayenne or pepper to taste.
• Place the eggs in a large pot with cold water to cover by 4 inches. Gradually bring eggs to a boil. Reduce heat slightly and briskly simmer for 11 minutes.
• Drain the eggs in a colander and rinse with cold water until cool enough to handle. Shell them under cold running water. Place them in a deep bowl or container and pour the dip over them.
• Pickle the eggs in the refrigerator for 7 days. The butter and lard will congeal on top. Break through and discard this. Drain the eggs and serve.

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:

• 1. Remove eggs from refrigerator and bring to room temperature.
• 2. Boil together the bourbon, basalmic vinegar, and salt until reduced by about 1/4. Taste to adjust salt level. Should be a little salty, like potato chip salty, to the taste, because the eggs will take some of that salt in the pickling process. Refrigerate to cool completely.
• 3. Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil.
• 4. Use tongs to place eggs in a single layer in the boiling water, then set a timer for 6 minutes and 45 seconds.
• 5. When the timer is up, remove eggs to a cold water bath, and repeat step 4 until all eggs are boiled.
• 6. Using a large spoon, carefully peel the eggs while they're still warm inside. They will be very fragile because the yolk is still quite soft at this point.
• 7. Gently place the peeled eggs in a sterilized container, then pour over the bourbon basalmic brine. Depending upon your container, and how many eggs don't make it due to breakage, you may need to make more brine, or you may have leftover brine. I use a flat lock-tite container. You simply want to make sure the eggs are completely immersed in the brine.
• 8. Refrigerate for two days, and enjoy.

Steps:

• Place eggs in a saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring water to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Cover and let eggs stand in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, and peel.
• Place the onion, balsamic, water, sugar, and garlic in a saucepan over high heat. Bring to a boil, then remove from stovetop, and allow to cool to room temperature. Place the eggs in a glass jar, and the vinegar over top. Cover, and refrigerate for 4 to 5 days before serving; the longer the better!

Steps:

• Bring the vinegar, 3/4 cup water, 3 tablespoons salt, the coriander seeds, mustard seeds, sugar, onions and chiles to a boil in a medium saucepan over medium heat, stirring to dissolve the salt and sugar. Reduce the heat, cover and let the brine simmer for 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, pierce each egg all the way through about 6 times with a cake tester or toothpick. Put 2 eggs in each of 3 glass pint jars with lids, and tuck the celery and dill in around them. Ladle in enough brine to cover the eggs, add 2 more eggs to each jar and ladle in more brine to cover, leaving about 1/4 inch of space at the top. Close the jars, let cool to room temperature and refrigerate for at least 24 hours before serving.
• To serve, halve or quarter the eggs, and spoon some pickling liquid and vegetables over the top. (The eggs will keep, covered by liquid and refrigerated, for up to 5 days.)

Steps:

• Drain pickled beets and reserve 1 cup of the juice. Place beet juice, vinegar, water and wine in a large non-reactive glass bowl or jar.
• Add garlic, bay leaf, pickling spices, and salt. Mix well. Add eggs and onion rings. Cover tightly, refrigerate for one week before eating.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°. In a small bowl, mix brown sugar, 3/4 teaspoon mustard, 1/2 teaspoon syrup and salt. If desired, stir in bourbon. Coat bacon with brown sugar mixture. Place on a rack in a foil-lined 15x10x1-in. baking pan. Bake 25-30 minutes or until crisp. Cool completely. , Cut eggs in half lengthwise. Remove yolks, reserving whites. In a small bowl, mash yolks. Add mayonnaise, 1 tablespoon syrup, 1 tablespoon mustard and both types of pepper; stir until smooth. Chop bacon finely; fold half into egg yolk mixture. Spoon or pipe into egg whites. Sprinkle with remaining bacon and the chives. Refrigerate, covered, until serving.

Steps:

• Put the balsamic vinegar and bourbon in a small nonreactive pan over medium-high heat. Bring to a boil, then immediately lower the heat so the mixture bubbles gently.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid reduces to about 1/2 cup, 15 to 20 minutes; it should coat the back of a spoon and will thicken a little more as it cools. Salt to taste, and serve warm or at room temperature.
