Pickled Eggs
 #109281
 Phyllis (Virginia) says:
When pickling eggs - before adding them to the brine, take a toothpick and punch a few holes into each egg. This helps the brine to penetrate. The longer they stay in the brine - the better they will be. Also: good chow chow brine makes excellent pickled eggs.
