Sweet Pickled Eggs

Ingredients:

  • 12 hard-boiled eggs, peeled
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1 cup vinegar (white or apple cider)
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 tablespoon pickling spice
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon peppercorns (optional)

Instructions:

  1. In a medium pot, combine sugar, vinegar, water, pickling spice, salt, and peppercorns. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves.
  2. Once boiling, remove the pot from heat and let the brine cool to room temperature.
