Analytical Mom: Can You Guess...

I came across this informative blog post. I hope you find it as interesting as I did.


Analytical Mom: Can You Guess...: Which eggs came from the store, and which came from our backyard chickens? Hint: the ones from the store are huge and pale... Did you...

Mustard Eggs

Mustard Eggs...


These tart pickled eggs are great for summer-time get togethers.







1 1/2 cups cider vinegar
2 T mustard powder
1/2 tsp ground tumeric
1 T garlic powder
1 T onion powder

1 cup sugar

1 1/2 tsp salt
1/2 c water
yellow food coloring optional


Whisk ingredients together and bring to a boil.  Pour over 
12 hard cooked eggs (peeled) that have been placed in a jar.  Place lid on the jar and chill in fridge for 72 hours before taste testing.  The longer they sit in the brine, the more flavor they will have.  They can be sliced onto a salad, made into deviled eggs, or like the picture above, topped with mayo, salt and pepper.
