Instructions
- For either version, follow these instructions to hard boil the 18 eggs, increasing the size of the pot, water and vinegar to accommodate the larger quantity of eggs. The cook time remains the same. Set cooked peeled eggs aside.
- For either version, bring all brine ingredients to a boil then simmer five minutes.
- For either version, layer eggs and other ingredients intermingled in the jar, using six eggs per jar, 3 one-quart jars per recipe.
- For either version, pour the hot brine over the eggs and other ingredients, cover and let sit on your counter until cool, then refrigerate.
- Discard any leftover brine.
- Let jars sit in the refrigerator for at least a week before eating.
- Store in the refrigerator for up to four months.
