Lunch: Lance's Balsamic Pickled Eggs

Recipe by Lanceb33 A great (but secret) recipe for pickled eggs based upon the tradition of bluenose recipes for pickled ears from frost-bitten travelers who, due to frostbite, have lost their ears and donated them to a local Alaskan bar/pub in the area

Ingredients

24 eggs
2 onions, sliced
2 cups balsamic vinegar
4 cups water
4 tablespoons white sugar
20 cloves garlic, mashed into a paste
35 peppercorns
1/2 cup beet juice (see Cook's Note)
6 fresh green and red cayenne chiles, halved lengthwise

Instructions

Place the eggs into a large pot cover with water by 1 inch. Cover the saucepan and bring the water to a boil over high heat; remove from the heat and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Pour out the hot water and cool completely under cold running water; peel and place in a glass jar large enough to hold them.
Combine the onions, balsamic vinegar, water, sugar, garlic, peppercorns, beet juice, and cayenne chiles in a deep saucepan over high heat; bring to a boil and immediately remove from heat. Allow the mixture to cool to room temperature. Pour into the glass jar with the eggs. Seal the jar with the lid. Refrigerate 4 to 5 days before serving.
