Hi All,
I recently got into home made pickles again, did a batch
of cauliflower and of course eggs. I love slicing a pickled
egg on toast for breakfast, with a few slices of pickled onion.
I don't have a recipe but I've been using something close to
this with great results. (size is 1 pickle jar).
5 hardboiled eggs peeled.
1 medium onion sliced in big chunks
1 small carrot sliced.
handful of peeled garlic. Slice into the cloves
3 hot peppers sliced. with seeds. (You choice on pepper)
Handful of rainbow peppercorns
1 bay leaf (to be fancy)
1 cup of water
1 cup of white vin
1/4 cup sugar (You can increase this if you want it does not
make the pickles sweet)
Salt.
Bring to a simmer for 5 mins or so, let cool chuck everything else
in the jar poor over liqued. If you need to top it up a bit, I always use
AC Vin just for that slight flavour.
The hard part is waiting. Best after 2 weeks, however they are darn
tasty after 1.
