A few years ago the thought of a pickled egg sounded horrible, but fortunately I got brave and ate one. Yummy! Don't waste your good pickled egg eating years by thinking that they sound gross, eat one today!
I'll be pickling cucumbers only this year. I don't have any special recipes, but I do follow a strict pickling regiment that most people would not have patience for. I grow my own picking cucumbers. I keep a close eye on them until they get to be around 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches long, anything bigger get's turned into slicers. The very day they get picked is the very day they get pickled, again, I'm super picky about this. Then I wash each and every one of those little buggers with tooth brush, I want to wash off the light colored film coating on the outside but careful not to scratch their delicate, little hides. I treat every little cucumber like a new born baby, yeah I know pretty stupid . Then I pick some good sized, bright, fresh green grape leafs that I have growing on the fence line. I mix up the pickling brine of choice, place one grape leaf at the bottom of each pint jar, pack with cucumbers and what ever spices or herbs I want to add that day. I used to add a whole garlic clove or 2 in each jar, but last year I decided to try chopped garlic instead and it made a world of difference with getting a strong garlic flavor. Pour in the boiling brine, put on the lids and water bath for 5-10 minutes and no more than that. Pluck them out of their baths and listen for the music of popping lids. I usually wait at least a month and a half or two months before I crack a jar open for consuming to ensure all has been pickled and flavors have melded. I believe the handling and preporation of the pickled product is as important if not more important as the pickling process itself. I call myself the pickling snob , but I'm sure my family and friends have a different name they call me
just be warned pickled eggs and beer make for a stinky bedroom when you wake up as a kid i rememeber my folks would go hang at the bar on the weekends and the next morning mom would get up and go put on coffee, and walk back in the bedroom after breathing fresh air and yell " Jesus **** William im gonna puke!!!" , me and my brother knew that was our cue to haul tail to the tv for bugs cartoons because it was saturday!
i opened the satans eggs and smelled them, man i dont know if i can eat one of these
