Pickled Eggs Recipe.

Ingredients:

2 cups water, divided
1 medium red or yellow beet, peeled and diced
1 cup apple cider vinegar
1/3 cup sugar
2 TSPs sea salt
6 hard boiled eggs, peeled
pinch of turmeric, optional, for yellow eggs
sea salt and freshly ground black pepper, for sprinkling

Recipe Instructions:

Combine 1 cup of water and the beet in a small pot and bring to a simmer.
Cook for 20 minutes, or until the beet pieces are fork-tender.
Add the vinegar, remaining 1 cup water, sugar, and salt and simmer for 1 minute, or until the sugar is dissolved.
Let the brine cool to room temperature.
Transfer the brine to a large jar, 2 medium jars, or a medium glass bowl.
If you're making yellow eggs, stir in a pinch of turmeric, if desired, for a brighter yellow color.
Add the eggs, make sure they are submerged (you can top them off with an additional 1-2 TBSPs water if you need to).
Cover and chill overnight.
The beets will intensify in flavor and color the longer they are pickled.
We suggest waiting at least 2-3 days before eating them.
Store in the fridge for up to 1 week.
When you're ready to eat, season the halves with pinches of salt and pepper.
