Ingredients
- 6 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
- 1 cup pickled beets (canned or freshly cooked)
- 1 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1 cup water
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves (optional)
- 1 teaspoon black peppercorns (optional)
Instructions
- Prepare the Beets: If using fresh beets, boil them until tender, peel, and slice. Reserve the cooking liquid.
- Make the Pickling Brine: In a saucepan, combine the apple cider vinegar, water, sugar, salt, and reserved beet liquid (if using). Add cloves and peppercorns if desired. Bring to a simmer until sugar dissolves.
- Combine Ingredients: In a jar, layer the hard-boiled eggs and sliced beets.
- Pour the Brine: Pour the hot pickling brine over the eggs and beets, ensuring they are fully submerged.
- Seal and Refrigerate: Seal the jar and refrigerate. Let the eggs pickle for at least 24 hours, though they taste best after a few days.
- Serve: Enjoy the beet pickled eggs on their own or sliced on salads, sandwiches, or as a garnish.
