    HI, here is my old recipe for pickeled eggs.  I have been using
    it for years and it is always great.
    in gallon jar place eggs to be pickled
    mix half and half water and white vinegar
    add either some powdered garlic or a few cloves.
    to spice it up add one to two jalapeno peppers sliced in half.
    wait for approximately two to four weeks then have at em. yum yum

    Make red eggs!!
    
    Pickled beet juice is the best egg pickler in the world.  Leave
    the eggs in the juice for approx. 1 week in fridge before you eat
    them...they are pretty and taste good!!!!

    I asked my mother for her recipe since I have always loved her pickled
    red beets and eggs (wonderful color, too)  Combine 3/4 cup vinegar,
    1/4 cup sugar, one can red beets, and of course the eggs and let
    stand for about a week in the fridge.  If you don't like red beets
    you can do as the last message suggested and just use the juice.
    
488.4what?DONJON::EYRINGFri Jan 16 1987 15:4212
    If I can ask a dumb questions here - since I've never had pickled
    eggs----
    
    What state are the eggs in when you pickle them?  Raw?  Hardboiled?
    In the shells?  Out of the shells? 
    
    I know the Chinese pickle hardboiled eggs in the shell in a tea
    solution.  They do this after making lots of little cracks in the
    eggs but without removing the shells.  Is this what you do?

    When I was teaching school in Italy, a little girl brought me in
    a pickled egg, which had been sitting in her hand for who knows
    how long.  I kindly thanked her, took it to the restroom because
    the odor was overpowering the classroom and have never wanted a
    pickled egg since.  (In fact, I wasn't aware that they were really
    something to eat!)
488.8Old recipe from a Calif. newspaperSHRBIZ::KULPWed Jan 21 1987 09:4333
    I used to make this recipe quite a few years ago and had forgotten
    about it till I saw this note.  Actually, they are quite good. 
    I like this recipe, it is rather mild.  I'm sure you could spice
    it up more though, if you wanted.  (I think the ones I had bought
    before had VERY hot red peppers in them.) 
    
    		PICKLED EGGS
    
    1 dozen eggs
    1 1/2 cups white vinegar
    1/2 cup water
    1 cup sugar
    1/2 teaspoon salt
    6 whole cloves
    1 bay leaf
    1 onion, sliced
    
    Cover eggs with cold water, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer
    15 to 18 minutes.
    Drain and immediately run cold water over eggs in pan for several
    minutes.
    Peel eggs and place in narrow, deep jar.
    In medium saucepan combine vinegar, water, sugar, salt, cloves and
    bay leaf.  Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer 5 minutes.
    Pour hot vinegar solution over eggs, making sure eggs are completely
    covered with the liquid.
    Place onion slices on top of eggs.  Cover tightly, place in
    refrigeratorand let stand several days.
    Eggs may be served whole, halved or sliced, plain or in sandwiches
    or salads.
