Method
Prep your jars - either remove sealing rubber ring - if using clip top jars - and place seals in boiling water. Place jar into warm oven to dry and sterilise- Hard boil the eggs for around ten minutes, turning them gently in the first few minutes to centralise the yolks.
- Plunge into very cold water which helps to prevent a dark ring forming around the yolks
When cool, shell them and pack loosely into a large jar- Cover with the spiced vinegar, adding 2 blades of mace and some more dried chillies and black peppercorns, if liked
- Seal the jar tightly and keep for three weeks before using
- Spiced vinegar
- Tie 6g ( approx 1 g each) cinnamon bark, whole cloves, blade mace, allspice and a few black peppercorns into a muslin bag and steep in 1 litre/2 pints of vinegar for a few weeks to flavour. A few dried chillies can be added for a hotter taste
- If needed in a hurry, heat a bowl over boiling water until warm, then remove and leave to cool before using
- It is also possible to buy ready spiced pickling vinegar but you will have no control over the flavour!
