Had a hankering to make these again. Warning: Don’t decide to make them when you’re hungry. Twelve eggs to peel…….

Isinatra in reply to Rachmaninov2

You got it, R! Time for some scrumping! And I think the ice cream will be ready by the time everyone arrives.

They do look beautiful 💜 What do they taste like?

Me being me, after I googled Pennsylvania Dutch Red Beet Eggs I went on to google Pennsylvania Dutch Red Beet Eggs no sugar

thesophisticatedcaveman.com...

Isinatra in reply to Subtle_badger

Oh! Well done! Since I cut the sugar by half,they’re not too sweet. I think I could cut back even more and increase the vinegar. I’ll check out the link.

Isinatra in reply to Subtle_badger

Thank you for the link. The recipe doesn’t sound too difficult and making the eggs deviled is a great idea.

You could simplify it by starting with tinned beets and the liquid, then it's a very short recipe.

It would be quite different to your recipe. Personally, I enjoy the sharp taste of vinegar - I prefer sour gherkins/pickles than the sweet ones.

Oh,I’ve already thought of that. Tinned beets it is!👍🏼

You make me blush a nice shade of purple. Lol Thank you, Imaaan. 💜

Imaaan in reply to Isinatra

To maximize the use of the beets, swipe them on your lips to get them naturally tinted so they can compliment your blush;)

LolAlways thinking, Imaaan! I hope it’s a bit glossy, too.😉

Hey, M! Thank you. I see you are a reading rabbit. If you can read a recipe, you can cook. Although when I imagine you in the kitchen trying to follow a recipe, it does make me chuckle.😂 Beam Me Up, Scotty!

So pretty and girly coloured 🌺 🌸🌷🥚 Looks so colourful on your plate.

I checked Subtle badgers link and realised it was picked Beet eggs, I've seen the normal pickled eggs in our local fish and chip shop but not the coloured ones. Sounds delicious as I love sour pickles. I'd probably not add sugar and keep them sour tasting 😋

Isinatra in reply to Zara0123

Hey, Zara. I’ve saved the recipe from Subtlebadgers link. Im going to make those next time. Yes! Love the sour!

I love the posh name for these pickled beet eggs too..Pennsylvania Dutch Red Beet Eggs

Isinatra in reply to Zara0123

The recipe came from a comfort food site in the hills of Pennsylvania. Supposed to have something to do with coal miners….
