Tips
- Chill in fridge for at least 4 hours. For best results and brighter color, keep in fridge for a few days before eating.
- You can decrease the sugar if you like less sweet eggs and/or increase the vinegar.
- Add thin sliced onions.
- If you do not have a large mason jar, you can use a large glass or plastic bowl with a tight cover.
- I omitted the cinnamon – the eggs I love in Ohio did not contain cinnamon.
Thanks so much for stopping by!
Cheers!

Add 3 whole cloves to the bottom and 2 on the top to that recipe to give it some added flavor instead of the cinnamon 😋

I use this recipe, but instead of cinnamon I use pickling spice. Put in what you would use to make hot tea, and soak in the beet juice liquid and pour over both beets and eggs . Sooo good.

can I do them separate. love both but not together

They are really good with at least a few drops of Tabasco sauce added. You don’t have to add enough to make them hot (unless you want to) just enough to help flavor them.

My mother did not use cinnamon either, but she always used apple cider vinegar. It gives that extra twang.

Could you just add a little vinegar to a jar of harvard beets and mix that with hard-boiled eggs?
BARBARA
yes that us what I do
Katrina Lusk
I use i can of sliced beets for every doz.
For each can I use a 9oz paper cup fill 3/4 with CIDER vinegar and add sugar til cup is full. I cook that on low while I do the eggs. Perfect. Then I let them pickle in Glass Jar, refridgerated for 3 days.
