Now I have my "girls" laying copious amounts of scrummy eggs (free-range of course), does anyone have a foolproof recipe for pickled eggs please? Do I boil the vinegar before I put them in? Which is the best vinegar to use? How long would they last? Cheers all x

Cheers all, very helpful, will certainly give both ideas a try!
I have hens too, and I just boil the eggs for a bit longer than usual and put in a jar of malt vinegar. Nothing more complex than that!

LOVELY!
PS - no - don't boil the vinegar but do boil the jars first, then pour out.

They last YEARS! I used the last of mine 3 years after they were pickled
