We make jars of combined pickled ingredients. Here's the basic recipe, which is for pickled harboiled eggs. Adjust to the amount you want to do. This with the other ingredients will make about 5 or 6 quarts (some for you and your family, too):
2-cups vinegar
2-tsp salt
1-clove garlic
12 hard cooked eggs
3-tbsp sugar
1-1/2 tsp pickling spice
Preparation:
Combine all ingredients except eggs
Boil 5 minutes
Pour over eggs & refrigerate 1 to 2 weeks, if you can wait that long.
But to this we add a few stalks of whole dill. And then, instead of just the eggs, we add Polish Sausages, Asparagus spears, small onions, and even beets, if you'd like (use your imagination). It doesn't take much time to make and a red ribbion tied around the neck of the jar makes a nice, festive presentation. We have, on occasion, tied the jar to a small maple cutting board, which is used to slice the pickled contents.
The pickled goods wouldn't be at their best for about two or three weeks, but a humorous admonsihment to the soon to be over the hill guest by way of a homemade birthday card is enough to make them wait...
