How to Make Pickle Eggs

If you are like me, you grew up on pickle eggs, hot sausages, and pig feet from the neighborhood cookie lady. They are all tasty treats, and now that my household is the neighborhood cookie lady, we sell hot sausages and make pickle eggs all the time. There is another method to making pickle eggs (from "scratch"), but this an easier, guaranteed-good method.

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• hot sausage/pickled sausage juice
• jar
• eggs
• water, pot, and stove (to boil egg)
• refrigerator

1. You will need to have had a jar of hot sausage/pickled sausage, in order to have left over juice from the sausages. Do not alter the juice, unless you know what you are doing - it already has its own very tasty flavor!
   As I stated, there is a way to make your own pickled juice, but, remember, this is the LAZY way! :)

2. Boil the eggs, however many your heart desires.
   Quick tutorial on how to boil eggs: Put eggs in pot of water on the stove. Heat on high heat until they reach a rapid boil, and then turn down to medium heat for 10-15mins. Turn stove off, run cold water over eggs in sink.

3. Peel egg shells off. Rinse eggs of excess shells and debris. Your eggs should now be clean and "naked".

4. Take the jar of leftover hot sausage juice, and insert the boiled, naked eggs into the juice.
   Refrigerate for a few hours, or even about a day, in order to capture a good flavor. Cooled pickle eggs also taste better!

Tips & Warnings

• If you desire, you can cool the hot sausage juice in the fridge before preparing the eggs, that will you will be inserting eggs into cool juice.
• Some people enjoy their pickled eggs with spv (salt, pepper, and vinegar) - but this is a varied taste.
• Make sure eggs are thoroughly boiled!
