Looks awesome!
Now that recipe, when it says the eggs must be a week old, what does that mean exactly? Boiled a week before, or not to use fresh eggs?

Not fresh eggs.

If some of those are brought to BooFest, I think gas masks are in order for those with weak stomachs.

Boo should hang these signs around the place:

David,

It's better to use eggs that are at least a week old before boiling them. This as I have been told makes them easier to peel after they have been boiled. I used mine about 9 days after buying them and they were very easy to peel after I boiled them. And don't worry, I only know this because I asked the very same question before I made them.

Dumb question, but.... Do you put all this in the jar while the brine is still hot? Do you cook it, sorta like canning? I hate to be a dummie but... I am. Once its in the jar, is it ok for the shelf or refrig. only? thanks, They look great!

Another newbie question here... How long should the eggs be in the brine for (minimum) before eating? I just tryed my first pickled egg 2 weeks ago, man that was good. And it was just a no-name brand from the grocery store. Looking forward to giving this a try.

I sterilized the jar in boiling water then I put 6 eggs in the jar then some garlic, onion slices and dill then 6 more eggs, garlic onions and dill and kept going like that till the jar was full. I had the brine simmering on the stove and poured it over the eggs once the jar was full. I sealed it snuggly and left it on the counter to cool and then put it in the fridge. I don't plan to store mine for a long time so I didn't boil them after. Some folks will boil them after but only if they're making a large batch that will be around for awhile. My jar lid snapped down as the jar cooled just as if I had boiled them.

I asked this question too and was told at least a week. I plan on sampling mine this week end which will be 8 days.

I've made several batches of different types of pickled eggs. Each time, I put the eggs, onions, garlic, etc in the jar, fill it up with the vinegar to see how much I'll need and then pour the vinegar off into a pan. Add a little more vinegar to compensate for some boiling off and then bring to a boil. Once it's boiliing, pour the liquid into the jar, seal up, and turn upside down on the counter. As it cools, it will seal.

I do this same thing with jalapenos from the garden. Wash the jalapenos, cut the stems off, and poke a few holes in them with a knife. Add to a jar with onions and garlic. Boil the vinegar and then pour in on top of the jalapenos and seal up. The boiling liquid sterelizes everything, but doesn't really "cook" the jalapenos. In the middle of winter, you can go grab a jar of these and essentially have "fresh" jalapenos.

I do up jalapeno peppers to. Pretty mach the same as yours but I slice them into disc and have pepper rings. Good on sandwiches, salads in chili...you name it!
