Pickled eggs are one of my favorite American foods. When I tried this for the first time, I thought that ‘Wow boy~~ this is GOOD.’ 
I like hard boiled eggs and sweet & sour flavors, so it is like a perfect food for me. As you know, beets, eggs, and vinegar are healthy. Healthy and yummy~~ I highly recommend this. Since I liked it so much, I’ve made it several times, and at the end my husband said “No more please~~~” hehe. Oops, my poor honey. I can eat them more often though. My mother-in-law gave me a good recipe for pickled eggs, and I learned how to make them from her. So I want to share this delicious healthy food with you. 
Main Ingredients:
- 1½ Dozen Eggs
- 2 Cans Beets
- 3½ Cups Apple Cider Vinegar
- 2 Cups Sugar
Directions:
- Boil the eggs in water with a little salt and vinegar.
- Boil the juice from the beet cans, vinegar, and sugar together.
- Then remove the shells while the eggs are still hot.
- Put the eggs on the bottom of a large glass jar. Cover the eggs with the beets.
- Pour the juice on top of everything while it is still hot.
- Refrigerate for about five days before serving.
Pickled eggs are not as American as you might think. They were invented in Britain, and were (still are) served in British pubs. The British version, however, generally uses white vinegar only, so the eggs are white, not pink.
This looks tasty. My question is..what if I do not use sugar? My girlfriend is Diabetic and is afraid of all that sugar. Thanks..
hi Michael,
Oh, then she has to be careful of it. What she uses instead of sugar for her food? Maybe you can try it instead. thanks
We eat pickled beets with winter stews in my home. I have never had a pickled egg though.
Do you think these eggs would be good in any type of noodle dish? The color is quite amazing.
hi Judi,
This is sweet and sour.. so I guess it will match with something .. cold noodle.. maybe.. spicy and sour noodle ?? just imagining..hehe
Wow lovely color on those eggs. I’m Korean myself and I must say that I have only tried the soy sauce ones ,but yours are definitely tasty looking as well. Kepp up the good work Daehanmingook!
hi AJ,
thanks
Yes, I tried this one for the first time after I moved to Korea..and this is one of the recipes I want to make for my Korean family.. so try it someday .. it is healthy and delicious.
How about if I don’t have canned beets? :/ I only have fresh beets. What do I do to make the fresh beets work for this recipe? Do I just slice them and put them over the boiled eggs or do I blend them?
hi Ecclasyas,
Peel off the skin of the beets..and slice them like the ones from can.. boil the beets with plenty of water until they become soft. You will get red beef broth and cooked beets.. use them for this pickled egg recipe.. thanks
hi, aeri, pls tell me on step 4, you said “cover the egg with the beets”, is that mean you have to cut the canned beets into slive or cube and mix together with the egg and put inside the jar. thank you in advance for your answer. this dish looks very delicious and simple to do it. thanks. stephaniebobo
hi stephaniebobo,
yep.. try it..I love this ..
hehe.. my explanation wasn’t clear enough to understand.. sorry.. I meant..
since the egg will float in the juice.. if the beets are on top of egg..it will not float..and get juice better (when you keep the hot juice with egg for several days.. it gets pickled..)..and all the surface of the egg will get nice beet juice color.. thanks
