Ingredients
One dozen hard-boiled pastured eggs
The juice from 1 quart of
Fresh herbs of your choice
Peel and rinse the hard-boiled eggs. Arrange the herbs and eggs in a half gallon mason jar, or two quart jars. Fill the jar(s) with pickled beet juice. Top off with filtered water if needed, leaving about an inch of headspace. Ensure the eggs stay beneath the brine with a fermentation weight. Allow them to "pickle" for 6-12 hours at room temperature and then transfer to the refrigerator. The longer the beets stay submerged within the brine the deeper the color will be. About 3 days is the sweet spot, but can last up to 10 days. Serve with pickled beets.
