Pennsylvania Dutch Red Beet Eggs Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Boil your 2 cartons of eggs to hard boil w/ salt then immediately put them in very cold water for easy peel. Peel eggs put to side.
• 2. In Large container with a lid add the Red Beet Juice from can first (Hold the beets out first). When all the juice is in add 1 cup of Vinegar and add sugar slowly to taste. *It should not taste too sweet or too vinegary. An even amount to taste. *YOU WILL KNOW
• 3. When its mixed well...Add some Beets then Eggs, Beets then Eggs until all is covered with beets n juice.
• 4. Let it set for 24 hours in the Refrigerator so it will soak into the eggs...Then enjoy!
• 5. You can make them into Deviled eggs, or cut in halves or just the whole eggs with the beets all around. Like I said...IF YOU LOVE BEETS YOU WILL GO CRAZY OVER THESE.

Steps:

• Drain liquid from the beets into saucepan. Place beets, onions, and eggs into a large bowl or pitcher.
• Pour sugar and vinegar into the saucepan with the beet liquid and bring the mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and let the mixture simmer 15 minutes.
• Pour the beet juice mixture over the beets, eggs, and onions. Seal the bowl or pitcher and refrigerate. Refrigerate for at least one to 3 days; the longer they are allowed to sit the better they will taste.

Steps:

• Hard Boil Eggs.
• Slice onion thinly.
• In a sauce pan combine beets (with juice), onion sugar, water and salt.
• Add vinegar here?.
• Bring to boil and simmer 10 minutes.
• After eggs are cooled, shell them and place in a large jar.
• Cool beet mixture a bit and add to jar. (You don't want it boiling when you add it because you may crack your jar).
• Put in refrigerator for at least 24 hours. The longer the eggs are in the juice, the better they'll taste. Best taste after about 3 days.
• Enjoy!

Steps:

• Place eggs in saucepan and cover with water. Bring to boil. Cover, remove from heat, and let eggs sit in hot water for 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from hot water, cool, and peel.
• Place beets, onion, and peeled eggs in a non-reactive glass or plastic container. Set aside.
• In a medium-size, non-reactive saucepan, combine sugar, 1 cup reserved beet juice, vinegar, salt, pepper, bay leaves, and cloves. Bring to a boil, lower heat, and simmer 5 minutes.
• Pour hot liquid over beets and eggs. Cover, and refrigerate 48 hours before using.

Steps:

• 1. Drain the red beets & reserve the juice. To the juice, add enough water so you're getting one cup of liquid.
• 2. Add liquid to saucepan, & add vinegar, sugar, cloves, cinnamon sticks, and some salt. Bring to a boil, stirring. Pour the sauce over the beets. Let cool just a bit.
• 3. Transfer to a large glass bowl or jar (my Meme Koletar had her special "pickled beet jar".) Refrigerate this for about 12 hours or so. When that time is up....
• 4. Add the peeled, hard-boiled eggs to the marinade & refrigerate overnight or 8-12 hours. Make sure you stir the eggs every so often so that the beet color becomes even on them. Nothing is sadder than seeing a pickled egg that only has one side of it lovely & deep purple. Then, cut the eggs in half & serve w/ the beets. Sprinkle w/ black pepper to your taste.

Steps:

• Cook, drain, and skin beets if not using canned.
• Combine remaining ingredients, except eggs.
• Pour over beets and cook for about 5 minutes.
• Cool.
• Place eggs in a large jar and pour cooled beet mixture over.
• Place in the refrigerator.
• Let pickle at least two days before using.

Steps:

• Place hard-boiled eggs in the bottom of a 3 quart (or bigger) plastic container that can be sealed with a lid (we use a Tupperware container).
• Open the cans of beets and drain the juice into a medium saucepan. Dump the beets into the container on top of the eggs.
• Add the sugar and vinegar to the beet juice. Heat the saucepan on the stove over Medium heat, stirring constantly, until sugar has dissolved (about 10 minutes) but DO NOT BOIL.
• Pour the beet juice over the eggs and beets in the container.
• Cover and refrigerate overnight before serving to allow the juice to soak into the eggs and sweeten the beets.
• NOTE: My Mama's rule of thumb on the measurements for this recipe is to use 1/3 cup of sugar and 1/4 cup of vinegar for EACH 14.5 oz can of beets that you are planning to use. Adjust the amount of eggs to your liking, but make sure that there is enough juice to cover the beets AND eggs.
