I just love these eggs but I also love beets. I know not for some of you. For the brine:
2 cans sliced beets juice
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup sugar - I use Allulose Monkfruit blend
2 tbsp whole black peppercorns
4 tbsp pickling spice
1 small red onion, sliced
Combine beet juice, apple cider vinegar, sugar, pickling spice, and black peppercorns in a medium saucepan. Simmer for 5 minutes and allow to cool. Then add hard-boiled eggs. Allow the eggs to bathe in this pretty pink mixture for at least 24 hours but I prefer 3-4 days.
I usually use the Pioneer Women devil egg recipe but I started adding pimiento cheese. I like the flavor it adds and also bulks up the mixture. Use what ever devil egg recipe you like to make the filling. The brine can be reused. I still in my fasting window so did not taste but sure they going to be good as I have made them before. I been doing the fasting thing for many years and have lost a lot of weight over the years but it sucks when you are cooking and cant taste!
I have not been river all week due to single digit temps. Suppose to get above freezing today so I will take these. Hopefully I can find some wood at the dump as I am out.
