Recipe for Pickled Red Beet Eggs
Recipe is for 1 1/2 dozen red beet eggs.
3-15 oz cans of whole red beets
Drain the juice and measure it, put equal parts of sugar and vinegar...
In other words if you have 2 cups of red beet juice you need 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of vinegar..
mix this altogether and then put the beets in a pan with this mixture and heat,
there is NO need to bring to a boil, you just want this hot when you put it with the eggs.
Hard boil your eggs and peel while hot..
We use a wide mouth gallon jar for this, layer some of the eggs in the jar along with some
of the red beets and when you have layered...eggs, red beets, eggs red beets etc..
Pour the hot red beet juice into the jar...let this set till the jar is cool
and would advise to put a lid on the jar (after cooling) we refrigerate these for three days
to get the eggs red all the way to the yolks...
This recipe is not written in stone, if you desire a little more vinegar for a more pickled flavor
cut back on the sugar and add more vinigar.these will keep for along time if they are refrigerated..
Enjoy

Looks good, when I make them I do not use any sugar. Just vinegar and the beet juice. They are great with some fresh horseradish. Mmmm :)
