Three weeks in and I finally succumbed to temptation.
The eggs are pretty nice, very tasty and all, but the spices/heat still hasn't penetrated.
The onions on the other hand are like eating live, stinging jellyfish tentacles that just happen to appear and taste like onions... They're Hellishly Hot! :emoji_imp:

Eggs re-vac sealed and I'll give it a few more weeks.

Time yet for another batch of pickled eggs and onions and I figured I might as well post these since I finally got a vacuum canister sealer attachment.
Hopefully it'll mean these will ripen at a faster rate than previously.
Before this it took 3-4 months to get full penetration of spices.
We shall see.

24 hard boiled eggs
2 large Red onions, sliced thin
7C white vinegar
1 18oz Sriracha Chile Garlic sauce
1 8oz El Yucateco Habenero XXX hot sauce
1T Hillbilly Gunpowder
(Dried and ground Jalapenos, Habaneros, Cuban Hots, Ghost aka Bhut Jolokia, Trinidad Scorpions and Carolina Reapers)
3T garlic, chopped
3 large Jalapeno chiles, sliced thin
1 carrot, sliced thin
1 medium White and Red onion, chopped
4T Kosher salt

Sterilize jars and lids
Combine everything except the eggs, sliced red onions and carrots in a large nonreactive stock pot.
Bring to a boil then let cool slightly.
Strain out chiles, onions, garlic and larger solids.
Layer peeled eggs into a 1/2 gallon canning jar with layers with strained veggies.
Pour pickling mixture over eggs and onions, cover eggs/onions completely yet leaving at least a half inch below the rim, and then vacuum seal.
Shake to mix and then refrigerate.
Let at least a week or two go by for the flavors to really permeate the eggs.
The spices have a tendency to settle in the jar so shake it daily to remix.

The onions got the same mix plus the carrots.

I've a previous thread on these, you can see the differences in color as these are taken to the next level.
Chile's Take on Sriracha Pickled Eggs
These look AMAZING. I bought a jar of pickled quail eggs on Monday, and I've managed to demolish almost the entire thing in 3 takes. So now I'm thinking I'd better learn to make my own, since this is obviously a new favorite. :emoji_yum:

Came here looking for a recipe to try, and the SMF experts never disappoint! :emoji_raised_hands:
