This is a treasured family recipe from my husband's mom. I was not fortunate enough to have met my mother-in-law as she passed away before I met my husband. My sister-in-law, husband, and father-in-law have shared many great stories and through them I have gotten to know what a truly amazing lady she was. This recipe for Mom's Pickled Eggs is one that my husband raves about, so it was time to give it a try. They are amazing, with great pickled flavor. The only mistake I made was not making more!
