One of my favorite ways to eat eggs is pickled beet eggs. Yum! They need to sit in the brine for enough time. If they don’t, I won’t eat them. My grandma B. used to just pass the hard boiled eggs in the brine and then pass them off as pickled beet eggs. Yuck!

I have a confession. No matter what, I cannot make hard boiled eggs the conventional way. The eggs’ yolks don’t fully cook. I have an egg cooker that I use at times. However, I didn’t want to use the egg cooker when I was cooking up the eggs my sons were going to dye using Kool…
