Pickled beet eggs

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Pickled beet eggs are hardboiled eggs that are peeled and put in a container with whole beets, all soaking in a mixture of vinegar and sugar. Typically, they are left to sit in a cool place or a fridge for two days to a week for desired pickling flavor, and served cold. The eggs, which take on a hue ranging from pink to scarlet, are often served as holiday or summertime sides or treats. In "Pennsylvania Dutch" country in Pennsylvania, they're commonly called "red beet eggs."
