Ingredients

note: you will need a large 2 quart (8 cups) Mason jar with a clamp closure or tight-fitting lid

12 boiled eggs (cage free/organic)

pickling liquid:

4 cups distilled white vinegar
4 cups water
1 tablespoon sea salt
1 tablespoon whole peppercorns
2 tablespoons pickling spice
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper
6 cloves, slightly crushed add extra if you wish!
5 jalapeños 1/4” slices

Instructions

make the boiled eggs:

Place 12 eggs in a large deep pan, cover the eggs with cold water. (TIP: Some people add a splash of vinegar or dash of baking soda to the water and say it helps them peel!) Bring to full boil, then turn off heat. Put a lid on your pot, and let rest for at least 20 minutes.
Carefully remove the boiled eggs into a bowl. Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel and rinse the eggs under cool water.
Using a wooden toothpick, run it through the boiled eggs in a couple directions (but don't leave it in the egg), this allows the pickling liquid to flavor your eggs!
Place all 12 eggs (once pierced with the toothpick), and set aside.

make the pickled eggs:

In a large saucepan, add the white vinegar, water, spices, and slightly smashed garlic cloves. Heat to just boiling, and then turn off heat.

Carefully pour the hot pickling liquid over the hard-boiled eggs. Wait for the liquid to cool, with the jar open for about one hour, then place in the refrigerator.

Wait about 7 days, and your Spicy Pickled Eggs are ready to eat!

Recipe Notes

You will need a 2 quart jar (holds 8 cups).

You will have some extra pickling liquid left over.
