Old-Fashioned Pickled Eggs

Here is a recipe for "Old Fashioned Pickled Eggs". It comes from "Better Cooking and Homemaking" which was published in December 1942. Personally, I don't think that I have ever had pickled eggs, but the recipe sure looked interesting. Besides, eggs are generally inexpensive, so the more recipes that can be found to spice things up, I think the better!

Old-Fashioned Pickled Eggs:
12 to 16 eggs
1 1/2 cup of water
1 teaspoon of salt
1 teaspoon of mixed pickling spices
3 tablespoons or more of sugar

Directions-
Hard boil 12 to 16 eggs- or as the book says hard cook. Shell and let rest.

While the eggs are cooling, combine the rest of the ingredients in a sauce pan. Simmer for 8 to 10 minutes. Strain and pour hot over the eggs. Keep covered in the refrigerator for 2 days before serving.

Enjoy!
