A delightful twist on the classic German pickled eggs, perfect for snacking or as a side dish.
Combine the cider vinegar, sugar, water, mustard, salt, celery seed, mustard seeds, and cloves in a saucepan.
Stir the mixture well to ensure the sugar dissolves completely.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Keep an eye on the mixture to prevent it from boiling over.
Reduce the heat, cover, and let it simmer for 10 minutes.
Simmering allows the spices to infuse the liquid with their flavors.
Remove the saucepan from heat and let the pickling liquid cool completely.
Cooling the liquid prevents the eggs from overcooking when added.
Place the onions and hard-boiled eggs in a large jar.
Layer the onions and eggs alternately for even flavor distribution.
Pour the cooled pickling liquid over the onions and eggs, ensuring they are fully submerged.
Use a clean utensil to press the ingredients down if needed.
Seal the jar and refrigerate for at least 8 hours or overnight.
The longer the eggs marinate, the more flavorful they become.
Serve the pickled eggs chilled and enjoy.
Use a clean spoon each time to maintain the pickling liquid's freshness.
