Zombie Eggs?

[Chickenwings]

I love Pickled eggs...well I like them a LOT. Thought I'd share my go to recipe here and see what it might bring up from you all in terms of your favorites to stir some motivation in me!
Today I ended up with zombie eggs....

Bring a half cup of vinegar and a half cup of water to a boil with:
1 tsp pickling spice
1/2 tsp of salt
1/2 tsp of sugar
One half of a large peeled garlic clove
A clove or two...or three...how do you feel about cloves?

Allow to cool a bit then pour over your dozen eggs in the jar. Let them sit for a week and then enjoy!

You may wish to strain the brine before before adding to the eggs or not. I don't the only down side is that where the cloves touch the eggs they can leave a dark spot on them. I don't get a 'clove taste' from those eggs but YMMV.

Today I did up some with some Jalapeno hot sauce.... I'll let you know how they came out in a week or so.

Sounds good. Was expecting some crazy yellow/green color, food coloring, in the brine...JJ

I went back to see if there was a recipe. The picture was taken by a Reddit member that found the jar of green eggs in a Lunch Refer at work. I suspect it's a Vinegar and Spices Pickling Brine with green food coloring added for fun...JJ
