Ingredients

  • 2 cups white vinegar
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon ground mustard
  • 2 tablespoons pickling spice
  • 1 dozen hard boiled eggs

Instructions

  • Prepare the hard boiled eggs, peel and set aside.
  • Make the pickle brine by combining the vinegar, water, salt, pepper, ground mustard and pickling spice in a medium saucepan.
  • Bring to a boil, reduce heat and let simmer for 5 minutes.
  • Place the peeled hard boiled eggs into a clean glass jar.
  • Pour the hot pickling liquid over the eggs. Make sure the eggs are completely covered with brine.
  • Seal the jar with a lid and refrigerate. You can eat the eggs after 2-3 days, but I find letting them marinated in the brine for 5-7 days really enhances the flavor.
