My first time eating pickled eggs was at McGuires Irish Pub in Pensacola, FL as a little girl. They serve them on their combo snack plate and I, being the girlie girl I am, just loved their bright fuchsia color! Alas, McGuires doesn’t serve them anymore {dang it}! So I decided to recreate my own version of Pretty Pink Pickled Eggs (say that 3 times fast!) at home using pickled beets and onions. Hope you enjoy!

My husband’s trick for boiling eggs perfectly: Place eggs in a pot of cold water and bring to a boil. Boil for 10 minutes. Remove to the sink into an ice water bath to stop cooking and cool down.
Crack the shell and it should just slide off!

How long will these keep?
In a sealed jar in the fridge I keep them for about a week.
