Cowboy Candy Pickled Eggs

A spicy twist on a classic treat, these Cowboy Candy Pickled Eggs blend sweet and tangy flavors with jalapeños for a bold taste experience.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 810 hard-boiled eggs
  • 2 cups Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 cup White Sugar
  • 1 cup Brown Sugar
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Ground Turmeric
  • 1/2 tsp Cayenne Pepper
  • 1 cup Sliced Jalapeños

Instructions

  1. Boil the eggs: Place your eggs in a saucepan, cover them with water, and bring to a rolling boil. Once boiling, cover the pot and turn off the heat, allowing them to sit for about 12 minutes.
  2. Prepare the brine: In a medium-sized pot, combine apple cider vinegar, white sugar, brown sugar, garlic powder, ground turmeric, and cayenne pepper. Heat over medium heat until the sugars dissolve, but do not let it boil. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.
  3. Peel the eggs: Place boiled eggs under cold running water or in an ice bath. Tap each egg gently to crack the shell, then peel it under running water.
  4. Layer the ingredients: In a clean 1-quart wide-mouth jar, add sliced jalapeños at the bottom followed by the peeled eggs.
  5. Pour in the brine: Pour the brine over the eggs until completely submerged. Use a spatula to press down if needed.
  6. Seal and refrigerate: Seal the jar tightly and place it in the fridge. Allow the eggs to pickle for at least 48 hours.
  7. Enjoy: After waiting, slice the eggs in half and serve for a flavorful treat!

Notes

These eggs can last in the fridge for up to 3-4 months if kept submerged in brine.
