I live in North Western Pa, by Amish country. After 5 days of brining, they turn a mild yellow color and have just the right amount of sweet and sour to them. The longer they brine, the better! Their my absolute favorite, and so easy to make!

Steps

1 hour

1

Place eggs in a large pot. Cover with water. Place on high heat, bring water up to a rapid boil. Turn off the heat, cover and let sit for 10 minutes
2

Remove eggs, and run cool water over them. Once cool enough, remove shells and place in a large glass jar.
3

For the Brine:
4

Place rest of ingredients into a medium pot. Bring up to a boil, then lower to a simmer for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally.
5

Pour brine over eggs, and using caution, place the lid on top. (The jar will be very hot because of the brine. I used oven mitts to tighten it well)
6

Once the jar has cooled down, place in the refrigerator for 4 days AT LEAST. Do not open them until then! The longer they brine, the better!
