My Pennsylvania Dutch grandmother, Florence Walter, used to make these. They are especially great for picnics. The combination of pickled eggs, beets, and onions is really something special. A great way to use up left-over Easter-eggs too!

Red Beet Eggs

There are a couple ways to make these, but they’re pretty common in Germanic areas, and Amish communities. I haven’t found them outside of the Susquehanna Valley, so...

-Get eggs. I generally do about 18ish.

- 2 15 oz jar of sliced pickled red beets.

-Cup of sugar.*

-Cup of Apple Cider Vinegar.

-Tablespoon of Salt.*

-Tablespoon of Pepper.*

-Some people add other herbs and seasonings, but I don’t usually find it necessary. The starred ingredients I generally play with amounts depending on number of eggs and to taste; I like sweeter, so do a little more sugar, for instance.

-You’ll need some glass jars with lids. 

Hardboil the eggs. Simmer the red beet slices and juice with all the rest of the ingredients. I peel the eggs while the broth does its thing.

Put the peeled eggs in the jars. Pour in the juice and some slices of red beet, and seal. Let them soak a couple days; the egg whites’ll soak up the broth, turning them reddish-purple.

I can eat the things as a snack as they are, but they also work great with a favorite, simple deviled eggs recipe, as they look striking on a table while also adding an interesting flavor to the usual treat. I like olive oil mayo, honey dijon mustard, and more apple cider vinegar in my deviled egg recipes to go with said flavoring.

4 jars of hardboiled eggs in a red beet juice mix. Since I can't get one of my favorite treats outside of Lancaster County, it seems, I must make my own. This batch is slated to become deviled eggs for my team's summertime themed potluck this coming Friday. It adds a bit of pop and taste to the standard formula. I am a little annoyed I can't find the index card with Grandma's recipe for the red beet mix on it. Yeah, it's simple and I've done it often, and can get the recipe from one of my PA cookbooks or online. But she wrote that index card recipe for me way back when I first moved to Kansas. It's the only thing I still have with her handwriting on it. So it's frustrating! It's around here somewhere. Now to keep Chel from "helping"...
