Making pickled eggs might seem intimidating if you’ve never done it before, but it’s actually amazingly simple.

Once you have the basic concept down, it’s relatively easy to start experimenting with different flavors and spices, like jalapeno pickled eggs.

Here’s the mix of ingredients I used to make up my jalapeno pickled eggs recipe.

Feel free to adjust measurements to your taste. If you prefer spicier food, try adding more jalapeno slices & jalapeno juice.

Jalapeno Pickled Eggs Recipe

• 1 glass quart jar with lid and jar ring (buy online here: https://amzn.to/2QUPrSk)
• 11 hard boiled eggs (shelled)
• 2 teaspoons pickling spice
• 5 tablespoons sliced, jarred jalapenos with juice
• 1 1/4 cups white distilled vinegar
• pinch of salt

Gently put all ingredients into the jar, then close the jar tight. Refrigerate immediately. That’s it. :)

You’ll want to wait at least a week before eating the pickled jalapeno eggs. They’re safe to eat prior to one week, but they won’t be totally pickled yet, so the flavor won’t have completely penetrated the eggs.
