==Norville's Spicy Pickled Eggs==
 
 
 
==Introduction==
 
 
 
Spicy, delicious, easy and low carb, these things are delicious, particularly when you've had a couple of cocktails.  As a pickling vessel, I use an old pickle jar, which has
 
 
 
==Ingredients==
 
 
 
*2 c white vinegar
 
*1 c apple cider vinegar
 
*6 cloves garlic, crushed
 
*4 Tiny Thai Peppers, sliced very thin (WEAR GLOVES OR WASH HANDS)
 
*1.5 tbsp pickling spice
 
*1 tbsp crushed red pepper
 
*2 tbsp siracha
 
*2 white onions, sliced thinly
 
*2 tsp black peppercorns, cracked
 
*1 7oz can of La Costenada pickled sliced jalapenos with juice
 
*18 eggs, not super fresh, a couple weeks old is best
 
*Ice
 
*approx 3c water
 
*water for boiling eggs
 
*water for ice bath
 
 
 
 
 
==Instructions==
 
 
 
===Hard boiled eggs===
 
This step is important, and doing it right makes the eggs easy to peel (old eggs help, as well).
 
 
 
*Place eggs in a large pot
 
*Add cold water to cover
 
*When water comes to a rolling boil, drop the heat to medium for a nice slow boil, set a timer for 10 minutes.
 
*After your time is up, use a slotted spoon to move the eggs into an ice bath for 5 minutes or until cool enough to handle.
 
*Peel by gently whacking on a flat surface, rolling between your hands, and then peeling.
 
 
 
===Brine===
 
This step creates a powerful aroma of spice and vinegar, so make sure you've got a window cracked.
 
 
 
*Mix all non-egg ingredients, including about 3 c water in a large pot.
 
*Bring to a simmer, and let cook for 10-15 minutes to let the flavors meld.
 
 
 
===Assembly===
 
 
 
Put the eggs in the jar.  Carefully pour the brine into the jar.  Put the lid on the jar.  Place jar in fridge.  Wait at least 5 days for the eggs to get pickled.  Eat, and enjoy.
 
 
 
==Other Notes==
 
 
 
These eggs will last refrigerated for a month, at least. 
 
If you like your eggs less spicy, eliminate the Thai Peppers, but not the pickled jalapenos or siracha, because they both add a lot of delicious flavor.
