Old Popper - My Pickled Egg recipes

Old Popper here"s a few variations of the eggs I make. I try to keep them simple so they are quick and easy to make.

All brine is 50/50 vinegar-water. Once in a while I will go 66/33 vinegar-water, but usually that has a little too much pucker.

PLAIN PICKLED EGGS
1 tsp salt
2 cloves of minced garlic
2 cloves of whole garlic (eat these)

MILD
Same as above
Slice jalapenos in half length-wise, remove seeds.

HOTTER
Same as above.
Cut jalapenos, leave seeds in.

Of course eat the jalapenos too.

Keep increasing the amount of peppers and less eggs til you get them as hot as you like, and add more whole garlic cloves if you like eating those also.

I make a batch 50/50 habanero peppers/eggs. End up eating those by myself. Any hot pepper will work depending on how hot you want them.

Keep tweaking "til you get the flavor where you want it. Let them sit for a couple weeks, then dig in.

Thats it.

Not oldpopper... but have a question. Is the amount of salt/garlic based on one quart or one pint? Would like to try these, as my husband and son love pickled eggs and would probably like them a little bit spicy. Thanks.
 
If I don"t can them in Mason jars, I always refridgerate them. I have had some people tell me there is no need to refridge but I"d rather be safe than sorry.

Plus, they fit nice in the beer fridge... grab an egg, grab a beer, repeat.

So, I guess you boil them first then you start the pickling process I guess. How long does that take and can they just sit on the drainboard while "fermenting".

Once you have the concoction homogenized, how long is the shelf life, sitting on the counter at the bar, at the restaurant, on your drainboard at home, in your shop adjacent to your beer cooler? I'm serious.

Boil, peel, add eggs to one of the recipes above. I let them sit for 4 weeks pickling before eating. If you do not can them, they sit in the fridge for 4 weeks.

Shelf life, I have no idea, they get eaten within a week after being opened. I have seen many bars the leave them on the counter at room temp. I prefer to leave mine in the fridge.
