Pickled eggs. Different approach.

[Steve H]

Morning all,
After eating the last couple pickled eggs the other day. And with Ann buying two 18 packs of eggs. I decided to make a quart of them. But with adding some of the brine from the hot sauce I recently made.
13 eggs done with the 5-5-5 IP method. The 13th egg is to test for firmness. This method has never failed me yet. So, I guess it's more because I boiled eggs!
Brine:
2 cups ACV
1 cup water
1 cup hot sauce brine
1/4 cup my hot sauce
1.5 TBS sea salt
I didn't heat the brine because I wanted to retain the natural qualities of the fermented brine.
Mixed the salt with room temp. ACV
Then mixed all the liquids together.
Added:
1 tsp pepper flakes
1 tsp tajin spice
1 tsp sweet heat blend

Vacuum sealed. And let them set for a week. I'm curious how these will taste.

Lol!! Thanks Cliff! I eat them as they are.

It speeds the pickling process by at least 50%. I also do this when marinating meats and veggies.

Those are going to be so good Steve. This is going to push me over the hill to get hot sauce started. I just need to figure out where to start.

So. I just had one. I'm not sure if it was the brine I used or what. But the eggs were velvet smooth. And delicious! The taste had mild heat. And the brine from the hot sauce gave it a very nice funk. I'm going to take out a loan from my 401K. And do a gallon jar batch.
