Pink Pickled Eggs and Beets for Easter or Anytime
Below you'll find my pickled eggs recipe. In case you're wondering, pickled eggs don't really taste like pickles. I'm not sure how to describe what they taste like, but "tangy" comes to mind. If you're not sure that you'd like them, pick up a can of beets at the store, dedicate a half-dozen eggs to the cause and give them a try. It'll be a fun experiment and you might end up loving the taste.
Follow the simple instructions below. There's a photo gallery, too, so you can see how the eggs look as they progress through several days of pickling. I think they're best at day four or five (when they're really more purple than pink) so if you're planning these for Sunday dinner, start them on Tuesday or Wednesday.
Enjoy!

Pink Pickled Eggs Recipe on a Magnet
Never lose your recipe again! Keep it handy with this purple-pink refrigerator magnet.
Pickled Eggs & Beets Recipe in Pictures
This is a great recipe to make with kids. Since the eggs need to "pickle" in the refrigerator for two or three days before they're nice and pink and ready to eat, let the kids keep an eye on them, checking them each day to see how the color changes.
Use the liquid from the can of beets in the recipe.
How to Hard Boil Eggs
Follow these three easy steps for perfect hard-cooked eggs every time.
Step 1 Place eggs in saucepan; cover with water. Add about a teaspoon of white vinegar to the water.
Step 2 Heat the water just to a boil. Cover the pan and remove from heat. Set the timer for 10 minutes.
Step 3 After 10 minutes are up, uncover the pan and run cold water over the eggs as you empty the hot water into the sink. Run the cold water for a couple of minutes, until the eggs begin to cool. Empty the water from the pan.
The eggs are now ready to peel and use in a recipe, or store them in the refrigerator, in a covered bowl, until ready to peel and eat.
TIP: Use eggs that are a week or so old. They'll peel easier than eggs that are fresh.

- What a great lens! A friend of mine from ages ago used to make pink pickled eggs; my husband & I loved them ... I can't wait to make them. I'm also thrilled to see Michel Roux's book in your egg cookbooks list, it's one of my favorites too.

- Rennita, as long as you keep them refrigerated, the pickled eggs last just fine for a couple of weeks. Thanks for our visit!

- Awesome! My mom gave me this recipe a long time ago, but I don't think it had chives in it and the onions were optional. (I never use them. I like onions, but they don't like me.) I love pink pickled eggs. You might try serving them on saurkraut (sp?), sometime, since it has a similar "twist" of flavor.

- I am fan of pickled eggs, and pickled beetroot. Never thought of putting them together though. I could see this working for a Christmas meal accompaniment.

- I love these eggs on the side to compliment whatever I have for lunch. The other members of the family were not so enthusiastic, but what do they know? I got to enjoy all six eggs.
