I have been making pickled eggs for many years and this is just one of the varieties that I make. This amount of pickle juice will yield enough for one dozen eggs, which is the amount I made this morning! Three times a year I’ll be making sometimes 12 dozen at a time. The three times a year are “ July for BBQ’s ~~~ Christmas ~~~ Easter….I’ll make many jar’s at those time's to share with family and friends. I save and freeze all my pickle juice till I have enough to do these.
