Step 1

Place 12 eggs in a large deep pan, cover the eggs with cold water. (TIP: Some people add a splash of vinegar or dash of baking soda to the water and say it helps them peel!) Bring to full boil, then turn off heat.  Put a lid on your pot, and let rest for at least 20 minutes.

Step 2

Carefully remove the boiled eggs into a bowl. Once the eggs are cool enough to handle, peel and rinse the eggs under cool water.

Step 3

Place all 12 eggs in a large clear clean clamp jar.

Step 4

Next, slice the fresh jalapenos into 1/4" slices, set on top of boiled eggs in your jar.

Step 5

In a large saucepan, add the white vinegar, water, spices, and slightly smashed garlic cloves. Heat to just boiling, and then turn off heat.

Step 6

Carefully pour hot pickling liquid over the hard-boiled eggs and jalapeno slices. Wait for the liquid to cool, with the jar open for one hour, then place in the refrigerator.

Step 7

Refrigerate and wait about 7 days, and your Spicy Pickled Eggs are ready to eat!

Step 8

Keep these pickled eggs cold in the refrigerator, eat within a month.
