Hot & Spicy Pickled Eggs

Step 1

In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup water, 1 cup 5% vinegar, 1/2 cup hot sauce, and pickling salt. Bring to boil and continue cooking for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.

Step 2

In a quart size mason jar, place a single layer of boiled and peeled eggs followed by a few slices of jalapeno peppers and a clove of peeled garlic. Continue placing layers until the jar is full.

Step 3

Take your brine and pour it in to the jar with the eggs, working carefully as the liquid is still hot. The eggs should be completely submerged in the brine.

Step 4

Place an airtight lid on the jar and store in the fridge. Eggs will take 5-10 days to soak up the brine, with the flavor increasing over time.
