Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 Pennsylvania Dutch Pickled Eggs I thought I would share a traditional Easter treat (at least in my family it is traditional :--) ). It will surprise any friend, coworker or member of the family you spring it on. 4 cups white vinegar 2 cups sugar 2 Tbsp. pickling spice 2 tsp. salt 2 bay leaves 2 dozen hard-boiled eggs (shelled) 2 large cans of baby beets (beetroot) drained In medium saucepan over high heat, heat the vinegar, sugar, spice salt and bay leaves to boiling. Remove from heat; add eggs and beets. When cool, place in a container and refrigerate. The eggs will stay edible for a couple of weeks but they will start to get rubbery. I love the sight of someone staring at their first red egg. VR: Nicarra RL: Lynn Alford Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 8, 2007 Report Share Posted February 8, 2007 LOL That is very funny and I bet it would really give it a brilliant red color for sure. Thanks for sharing this idea.

Guest guest Posted February 11, 2007 Report Share Posted February 11, 2007 wow, my mother's side is Pennsylvania Dutch, ( I still live here in PA) and I wonder if my mom knows of these. Growing up I have always detested the German food of my family. I am not saying all German food is like that, and I am German so please don't email me that I am prejudiced against Germans, LOL! But the food I saw as a child was disgusting. mostly all meat, and bland at that, no spices, just bland sausages etc. and also lots of raw meat. Just gross. This is one German food that my mom and me could both enjoy! I soooooo hope she knows of it and likes it,and better yet, maybe it will bring back some fond memories or something, LOL. hugs, Chanda , PunkinPie68 wrote: > > Pennsylvania Dutch Pickled Eggs > > I thought I would share a traditional Easter treat (at least in my > family it is traditional :--) ).
