First of all, Habs, thanks for the recipe! 10.5, here is yet another pictorial for you to view!
Here are the japapeno slices that we smoked:

And, here are the eggs:

We smoked both the jalapeno slices and the eggs with MESQUITE, the forbidden wood. The jalapenos were smoked for one hour, and the eggs were smoked for one hour and 40 minutes.
Once we brought the jalapenos in, we added them to the brine, and brought the brine back to a boil.
The eggs were put in a jar:

And the brine poured over the eggs:

Now we will shake them once a day for the next seven days before we will finally get to try them.
That brine smelled heavenly as it cooked - it filled the house!
Thanks again, Habs! We will let you know what we think of them.
That looks great...I am going to have to give this a try. Do you have the link to the recipe?
Those look awesome, Seemores! I love pickled eggs but the wife doesn't allow them in the house. Let's just say that she's not a fan of the by-product. I gotta find a way to sneak these into the smoker.

SD, even if you manage to sneek the eggs into the smoker, don't you think the wife will still find the 'by product' displeasing and figure out what you were up to?
Of course by then its already too late, right? ;D
Pens,
Once it reaches the by-product point, it can be blamed on anything. The pickled eggs look good enough to take a couple of roundhouses from the wife anyways ;D

The eggs sound interesting seemore, in the u.k. many/most of the fish and chip shops sell pickled eggs, but i reckon with the added kick of the jalapenos and the smoke, they'll be awesome! ;)

They do look good. I usually wait until after Easter and collect the left over hard boiled eggs for various relatives, but I just might make a batch tomorrow. I'm still trying to locate that site that is dedicated to pickled egg recipes.

Here's a link to the recipe Hab's Pickled Eggs (http://forum.bradleysmoker.com/index.php?topic=2225.0). If you like a sweeter pickle, use cider vinegar and increase the sugar.
Thanks Habs, I will give this a try. I have around a dozen recipes for pickled eggs I have been collecting over the years. I have tried a couple of them. Another one of my favorites is pickled mushrooms.
Clean & Wash Mushrooms
Bring water to a rolling boil then blanch mushrooms for 4 minutes
Skim mushrooms from water, set asided.
Bring to a boil 1 C cider vinegar, 2 C water, 2 Tbs pickling salt.
Pack a layer of mushrooms, onions, mushrooms, etc in a jar (I use canning jars)
Pour hot brine to cover top layer.
Let cool then store in the refrigerator.
Note: I also add jalepenos to mine, so I layer mushrooms, onions, jalepenos, etc....
I wonder how the mushrooms and jalepenos would be smoked for this recipe......hmmmm will have to give that a try.
I may try that recipe some day. Do the mushroom soak up a lot of brine?
Pickled mushrooms sound great! Especially with jalapenos!!
L'il Smoker, I would LOVE to travel to the UK and enjoy some authentic fish -n- chips!!

I let my mushrooms soak for at least one week before I try them and yes they do soak up quite a bit of brine.
Yummmmy!! Those look great. Gonna have to make some pickled eggs I see.
I'm just waiting for BigY to put the eggs on sale, b1g2, then it will be pickle time.
Habs - we tried the eggs, and they were awesome!!! It was well worth waiting the seven days. Here is the finished product:

Thanks again! Seemore
Wow!
They look good. I'm going to pick up a couple of dozen eggs tomorrow.
I do believe that I will make these today.

It is really good! We diced up egg, jalapenos and onions from the jar. I added a couple slices of diced sweet pickle, some celery salt, fresh ground pepper and mayo to the tuna.
They will make great sandwiches to start out the work week's lunches.
They look good but god forbid a white picked egg up in Pa, they are all red ones up there, eh NePa, but I'm in Florida now and you don't see any color pickled eggs in the store here so I'm game.

When I was researching how to make pickled eggs I came across a few Pickled Red Eggs recipes, but I'm not a big fan of beets. I just can't visualize the combination of beets and eggs. But here's a recipe for you:
Pickled Red Beet Eggs (http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Pickled-Red-Beet-Eggs/Detail.aspx)
I don't like beets either but I eat red beet eggs all the time in PA they sell them everywhere, give it a try
I've printed out the recipe. I do love pickled eggs, so I may just make these.
Great looking pickled eggs!
