Recipe: Pickled Eggs




There are many things that remind me of my grandma who is in Heaven. Pickled eggs are just one of many sweet memories.  I made pickled eggs with my girls a couple weeks ago and here they are. :)  Sierra couldn't wait to eat "purple eggs". The hardest thing is waiting the five days! 

Pickled Eggs

INGREDIENTS:
1 (15 ounce) can red beets
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup white vinegar
1/2 cup cold water
1/2 teaspoon salt
4 whole cloves
1 small cinnamon stick
6 hard-cooked eggs

Directions:
1. Pour the beet juice into a medium-size pot. Stir in the brown sugar, vinegar, water, salt, cloves, and the cinnamon stick. Place the pot over a medium heat for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally.
2. Place the beets into the liquid mixture and let it cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the beets to heat.
3. Place the hard cooked eggs (with the shells removed) in a container with a tight-fitting lid. Pour the liquid and beets into the container with the eggs. Store the container in the refrigerator for approximately 5 days before eating.
