Beet Pickled Eggs

Here is the quick, healthy fix for what to do with all those eggs your hens are laying! This is my mother's old Southern recipe and everyone loves it. 

Will keep in the 'frig for two weeks or more. These also make wonderful egg salad and are a great Easter treat as well!


1 dozen eggs, hard boiled and shelled

1- 2 cans sliced beets with juice
3/4 cup apple cider vinegar
stevia or sugar to taste
thinly sliced onion, two cloves of garlic, horseradish root (peeled), dill or crushed peppercorns (use some of these or all!)

In saucepan, combine all ingredients except the eggs. Bring to a brief boil or until sugar is dissolved. Set aside. Allow to cool, then pour over the eggs that have been placed in a  wide- mouthed glass jar. Cover, chill in refrigerator for 5 hours or overnite.


Enjoy!
