I love them! I associate them with Christmas, my mum always made a big jar just beforehand. They'd last well in to January (it was a BIG jar!) and I'd love those meals of pickles and cold meats and a pickled egg. I love pickles and vinegar and sour things. One year my mum gave me an enormous kilner jar full of pickled eggs to take back to uni after Christmas. It was awesome!

I make a very nice sandwich using thickly sliced white bloomer spread with mayonnaise, then filled with sliced pickled egg. It's absolutely gorgeous.

I love eggs, but never tried one. I just presume it's going to taste revolting.

I love them!
On a side note I've just had a load of conch meat delivered which I'm going to pickle like whelks (as I can't get whelks easily - if at all - over here). |

24 hours!? My mum leaves hers for weeks!
We use general pickling vinegar - I like my pickled eggs brown. |

I have never eaten a pickled egg but often have seen them, just never really fancied them. To they taste eggy or what is the overlying taste.
I like to try everything at least once so will give it a go when next back in the UK |

Inspired by this thread I've just been out to get the ingredients. Eggs, White wine vinegar, chillies etc. I've got a big jar so i'll do them tonight and they'll be ready for Christmas.

Well I did them. I brought to a simmer some white wine vinegar, a good splash of balsamic, a teaspoon of allspice, a few peppercorns, a bay leaf and 2 tbsp. brown sugar. I then added a couple of fresh chillies to hopefully give a little kick. Just got to wait 6 weeks to try them!

we have some maturing in the cupboard Atm, hubby loves them. They'll be ready this week so we're having fish and chips one night so he can try them. Daughter hates eggs anyway and complains every time she opens the cupboard that they're looking at her
![]() re the vinegar, we slipped up in that we bought pickling spice and didn't notice til we got home that the vinegar we had was pre -spiced |

Normal malt or white vinegar will do, and there is no need for any additional spices. Just leave the boiled eggs to pickle for 2 weeks and they'll be done.

Absolutely love pickled eggs - I pop them into a bag of salt & vinegar crisps - & eat the two together.
Delicious. I do the same with pickled onions in plain crisps too. |
