  • Remove rib rack and remove eggs from rack
  • Place eggs in a bowl of ice for 30 minutes

Pickled Eggs Brine - No canning!

  • Combine water, vinegar, pickling spice, salt, garlic, and Heath Riles Jalapeno Rub in a medium sized pot
  • Bring the ingredients to a boil and reduce to a low simmer until all of the salt is dissolved 
  • Layer the peeled hard-boiled eggs into a sterilized jar/container
  • Add slices of onion and hot giardiniera mix if you want it
