Spiced Golden Pickled Eggs
These spiced golden pickled eggs are an easy flavor-packed snack. It's a quick refrigerator pickle recipe and so simple to make!
Ingredients
- 12 large eggs
- ¾ cup apple cider vinegar
- ¾ cup distilled white vinegar
- 4 tsp canning & pickling salt (sub 4 ½ tsp kosher salt)
- 1 tbsp sugar
- 1 small cinnamon stick
- 1 tsp grated fresh ginger paste
- ¾ tsp turmeric (can sub regular oregano leaves)
- 1 medium garlic clove, peeled and halved
- ½ tsp coriander seeds
- ½ tsp black peppercorns
- ¼ tsp garam masala or curry powder
- 4 slices jalapeno pepper (optional)
Instructions
prepare pickling brine
- Combine all ingredients except eggs in a small sauce pan.
- Bring the pickling brine to a hard boil while you cook the eggs, then cover the pot and turn off the heat.
cook & peel eggs
- Steam or boil and peel the eggs. I start steaming my eggs over room temperature water, and set a timer for 7 minutes as soon as the water begins to boil.
- Cool the eggs quickly with cold water, and peel them under cool running water.
- Place the peeled eggs and optional hot pepper slices into the sanitized quart jar.
brine the eggs
- Pour the hot pickling brine over the eggs in the jar.
- You can strain out the spices, but I like to leave them in to infuse even more flavor.
chill & marinate
- Place a lid on the jar, shake well, and refrigerate. Shake the jar every few days during the first week to distribute the spices and make sure the eggs on top stay in the brine.
- Keep the eggs in the refrigerator, and let infuse for a week before eating for best flavor.
