Does anyone have any recipes for pickled eggs they would care to share? This
is FF related because they make a great trail snack while on the river or
lake, IMHO.

Hi Jimi...
You can't go wrong with this recipe...I grew up on these babies. Try 'em, you'll like 'em.
Red Eggs
12 hard boiled eggs (shelled) 1 can sliced beets (not pickled) 1 sweet onion (sliced into rings)
Put the juice from the beets in small sauce pan and add about a tablespoon of sugar. Heat, stirring, just until sugar dissolves. Layer the above items in a glass jar, alternating items. Add...a bay leaf or two, some black peppercorns and the sweetened beet juice. Add white vinegar to cover eggs. Cover jar and put in fridge for AT LEAST 24 hours. They get even better after a few days. If you have one of those big gallon pickle jars you can double the recipe.
For Tom D...;^) Here's the trick to getting perfectly peeled eggs. First of all don't use fresh from the store eggs. Put them into a pan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook for fifteen minutes. Immediately run under cold water until cool enough to handle. Roll the eggs on the counter to crack and place back in the pan of cold water and let them sit for a bit. They should then peel up just fine.
While we're at it...here's another Penna Dutch favorite from Mom's kitchen...
Cucumber Slaw
3 to 4 cucumbers 1 to 2 onions 1 to 2 teaspoons sugar White vinegar Milk Salt and pepper
Peel and thinly slice cukes. Salt and squeeze to bruise, let sit. Add very thinly sliced onions. Mix all with sugar, three glurgs of vinegar and a few drizzles of milk. Pepper generously and put in fridge until icy cold.
Bon Appetit...byard --
