The more vinegar the firmer or chalky they are by cutting it with more water makes them much softer and enjoyable texture

Pour in the brine cap it let cool off at room temp for a couple hours then put it in the fridge. Keep refrigerated. Let sit if you can for at least 2 weeks although I never make it past a week without a sample.
Light on the hot peppers this batch didn't want a lot of heat this time. Put in a bunch of smoked paprika also. The fresh dill this time of year sucks and doesn't have much dill flavor so I also added some ground dill seed I got from RubberDuck.

I like the ground dill seed I added some to mine as well.
I like the color usually mine are much darker but went with clear brine this time.

Here is the allspice recipe-




Allspice pickled eggs with one secret ingredient. I had to make the secret ingredient it is.....
Smoked Jalapeno Powder. I make it by taking fresh jalapeno peppers and smoking them in my smoker for about 5/6 hours heavy smoke with hickory chips. Once smoked I finish drying them in my dehydrator. Then take them and put them in a coffee bean grinder and turn them into a fine powder. The stuff is awesome I use it on everything salads fried eggs burgers what ever.

Now on to the pickled eggs- depending on how many eggs you get in a quart jar there should be enough liquid to make 2 quart jars
12 small eggs hard boiled per jar. To make the shells peel easier add some kosher salt to the water while hard boiling.

1/2 cup water
2 1/2 cups white vinegar
1 1/2 tsp kosher salt
2 bay leaves
2 or more fresh cayenne or chili peppers
2 tsp sugar
2 TBSP allspice
2 TBSP peppercorn
1 heaping tsp of smoked Jalapeno powder

Extra spicy add 1tsp of cayenne pepper.

Directions-
Boil and shell eggs. Pack in jar/jars. 12 large eggs wont fit in a one 1 quart canning jar. If you use small eggs they should fit in one jar. Don't pack to tight though.
Combine all ingredients bring to a boil then boil about 5 minutes to get some mild heat out of the cayenne peppers longer the boil the warmer the eggs. I gently shake jars every day to keep the spices mixed up in the jars .

KEEP REFRIGERATED- they will keep in the fridge for over a month or so.
