    Ok so left to right we have
    Amish Mustard .............Balsamic Vinegar ..........Beet ...............Jalapeno
    20210121_124233.

    All recipes are for 1 dozen eggs/1 qt jar. C=Cup, T=Tablespoon, t=Teaspoon.
    I let all heated brines cool completely before adding the eggs so the eggs don't cook further.
    If you have an instant pot, do the egg setting, 4 minutes, rapid depressurize, straight into ice bath. I've NEVER had the instant pot eggs go rubbery.

    Amish Mustard
    2C vinegar
    2T mustard (regular or dijon)
    1/2C water
    1C sugar
    1T salt, celery seed, and mustard seed
    6 cloves or allspice berries, whichever you have
    1/8t turmeric
    Mix in pot, bring to boil, then cool
    Eggs and sliced onions in the jar, cover with brine.
    Notes: Definitely taste the mustard. These are great in potato salad.

    Balsamic Vinegar
    1C water
    1C balsamic vinegar
    1T mustard (regular or dijon)
    1/2t cayenne
    1/4t salt
    Mix in pot, bring to boi, simmer 15 minutes, then cool
    Eggs and sliced onions in jar, cover with brine.
    Notes: If you like balsamic vinegar you'll like them. Otherwise they're mostly a novelty for the color.

    Beet
    2 15oz cans sliced beets
    1C vinegar
    1/2C sugar
    1T pickling spice
    1 cinnamon stick (optional)
    Mix juice from both cans, vinegar, sugar, pickling spice in a pot. Bring to boil then cool.
    Eggs and a few beet slices plus the cinnamon stick in the jar, cover with brine.
    Notes: Definitely taste the beet. Good by itself or in salads. I don't like that you waste a can and a half of beets, but if you had home grown beets you could work with, you just need 1C beet juice for this.

    Jalapeno
    2T salt
    4T sugar
    4 cloves or 1T minced garlic
    1T red pepper flakes
    1T hot sauce (tabasco or cholula, whatever)
    1-2 diced jalapenos (or whatever other hot peppers you want to throw in)
    Add everything into the jar, add a little vinegar and swirl around until the salt and sugar dissolve. Add eggs, then fill jar with straight vinegar.
    Notes: These are my favorite. Good straight, on salads, in potato salad, whatever. Because this is straight vinegar, this might be ok to keep on the counter. Feel free to be my guinea pig on that though.

    Awe, this is gonna get me kicked outta the house! Love me some pickled eggs, especially when converted to Deviled eggs, or made into potato salad, or an egg salad sammich! Both the Amish mustard and Jalipino make most excellent dishes! Only problem ( for everyone else around me) is the phartz I get after eating, epic I tell ya, even the doggies look at me and go, DUDE!!!

    How well do they keep? Looks good, thinking paired with some pickled red hot sausages and some good beer!

    I have kept the mustard ones in the fridge for half a year with no noticeable degradation in quality or taste. Probably longer than that, actually, last time I made them was last summer. I did 6 dozen and we just now finished the last jar. The only thing with them is the mustard turns the brine to a murky yellow which looks disgusting, but that's just that particular one.

    The Mr does up pickled red hots too, about to do some more coz he just finished the last batch.

    Wonder what would happen if you threw the beets in too... would they pickle? Can you eat raw beets? Think I have only ever had them cooked.

    Pickled beets are great. I put about half a can of the sliced ones in with the eggs. If you were using fresh beets you'd need to boil them for juice anyway so makes sense to toss them in the jar.
