My Pennsylvania Dutch grandmother, Florence Walter, used to make these pickled red beet eggs. They are especially great for picnics and a great way to preserve leftover eggs after Easter!
Ingredients
- 1 can beets , 15-ounce
- 1 onion , thinly sliced
- 12 hard-cooked eggs , shelled and left whole
- 0.25 cups white sugar
- 0.5 cups vinegar
Instructions
-
1
Drain liquid from the beets into saucepan. Place beets, onions, and eggs into a large bowl or pitcher.
-
2
Pour sugar and vinegar into the saucepan with beet liquid; bring mixture to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, and let mixture simmer for 15 minutes.
-
3
Pour beet juice mixture over beets, eggs, and onions. Seal the bowl or pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 to 3 days; the longer they are allowed to rest the better they will taste.

Gluten-Free Pie Crust
I have tried a lot of gluten-free pie crust recipes to find one that compared with the traditional wheat crust that I have been missing. After throwing away many batches, I finally came up with this one and my family loves it. They said they couldn't tell the difference (I am not sure I believe that) but it sure did satisfy my cravings. Hope you like it too.
Pork Roast with Sauerkraut and Kielbasa
This is the traditional New Year's Day meal I learned from my husband, whose family originated in central Pennsylvania. It's wonderful, especially served with mashed potatoes and applesauce.
Plain Pasta
Real old fashioned homemade pasta. The salt, baking powder and butter are optional. Also, try substituting 1/2 cup milk or 3 beaten eggs for the warm water.
