This is the fate that six of Martha's eggs met at my hands...
ingredients
6 large eggs, boiled 8 minutes, then peeled
1 small onion, peeled and thinly sliced 1 small beet, peeled
1 c. water
1 c. cider vinegar
2 tsp. kosher salt
1 Tbsp. sugar
1 tsp. whole pickling spice, or a bay leaf, two allspice berries and a few mustard seedsPut the eggs and onion slices in a clean jar. In a small saucepan, simmer the remaining ingredients until the beet is cooked, about 20 minutes. Pour all of this into the jar with the beets, cool and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
You can continue to add new eggs to the pickling mixture for a long time.
