This just sounds wrong to me: Hot Purple Pickled Eggs
1 dozen large eggs 1 qt cider vinegar 1 large beet, peeled and thinly sliced 1/2 cup sugar 10 small fresh hot chile peppers of your choice, halved 1/3 cup hot sauce 3 tbsps. cayenne pepper 2 tbsps. coriander seeds 1 whole nutmeg, smashed to pieces (or 1 tsp ground nutmeg) 1 tsp. cinnamon, or a couple of smashed cinnamon sticks 1 pinch mace salt and freshly ground pepper to taste Hard boil and peel eggs. Place in heatproof bowl. Combine all remaining ingredients in a medium saucepan and bring to boil. Reduce heat and simmer until beet slices are tender, about 15 minutes. Pour the hot liquid over the eggs, cover, and refrigerate. You can eat them as soon as they are cool, but they will be better in a day or two. They will keep for a month. Sugar Says: People are like stained glass windows: They sparkle and shine when the sun is out, But when the darkness sets in, their true beauty is revealed only if there is a light shining from within. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ Access the Recipes And More list archives at: http://www.mail-archive.com/recipesandmore%40googlegroups.com/ Visit the group home page at: http://groups.google.com/group/RecipesAndMore -~----------~----~----~----~------~----~------~--~---
