- I used to hate pickled eggs as a kid, and I mean HATE. I have traumatic memories of going down the chip shop and seeing that huge jar of boiled eggs suspended in a clear ominous liquid that when opened, stunk the whole chip shop out! As we know though, your tastes evolve as you grow up, and today pickled eggs are an absolute treat for me. So I thought today, I'd show you how I make my pickled eggs, but the beauty of these, is you can really mix it up and add all sorts of spices and ingredients to make your pickled eggs as simple or as complexed as you like! Fair warning though, you'll be farting like a trooper after a few of them.
To make my pickled eggs you will need:
►10 medium sized free range eggs
►450ml of white distilled malt vinegar
►100g of sugar
►2 bay leaves
►1 tbsp of whole black peppercorns
►1 tbsp of whole coriander seeds
►1/2 tbsp of fennel seeds
►1 large 1 litre mason jar, or a few smaller ones depending on what you have
Serve just as they are, with a picky bits tea, or they make a fantastic egg salad! Pickled eggs, make em!

What are your favourite ways to scran a pickled egg?
Try them on a Tuna Salad Sammich!
Dunno, never had one! I love hard boiled egg on my niçpise or green salads, so I suppose we’ll start there.
@@The3Storms these would be ace on a salad nicoise 😋
Just enjoyed a cold one from the fridge with a hot Thai sweet potato soup, lovely ping pong between temperatures and tastes.
When I moved down to the Wiltshire countryside, I discovered that they're delightful with a packet of "them there spuds". (Crisps anywhere else!)
Weirdly, in my 50+ years I have never eaten a pickled egg. It's a strange omission for someone that joyfully eats almost anything. I think I should correct that omission. Thanks for the inspo Adam!
They are really good. If you like pickled gherkins, onions, beets etc then you'll probably enjoy these no probs
Pickled Eggs used to be a staple bar snack in the mid/late 20th century; a pickled egg and a packet of crisps (or cheese and onion roll) was a standard insta-meal in Working Men's Clubs around the UK for a good number of decades. I know cos I used to be a barman in several locally.
Our local chippie had a huge jar of pickled eggs on the back counter , I've never tried one and they don't really appeal to me , enjoyed the vid though 👍
American here. I love pickled eggs! When I make them I have to fight off all the grandkids because they want to eat them before they are ready.
Pickled eggs are ace!
Eggcelent video, quail eggs 🥚 are my favorite pickled !
Oh I bet! Perfect mouth sized little snack
Walmart carries some brand of pickled quail eggs - my dad(deceased)was the only one that would pickled eggs !!!
Hardware stores and Bars used to have Giant Jars 🫙 🥚 of them . Sharron he sounds like a Wise Man !!! Try one sometime you may be pleasantly surprised @sharrontaylor4744
I remember hardware stores and pubs having giant jars of pickled eggs. Sharron he sounds like a Wise Man ! Give them a try sometime , you may be pleasantly surprised @sharrontaylor4744
Great vid Ad's, I love my pickled eggs, Ive got 2 batches in my cupboard in Kilner jars, As for sterilisation i use Milton sterilising fluid, I use 50/50 distilled vinegar and cider vinegar, I don't use any sugar, One batch has chilli flakes in and the other has sliced beetroot in, Also you can keep the same vinegar mix and do a 2nd batch then chuck it away! Absolutely cheap to make yourself especially when you look at what supermarkets charge for a jar of pickled eggs!
Really interesting this and just like you say Adam your tastes change as you get older
Definitely
Thanks for saving the last pickled egg, I understand how excruciating it must have been to leave it alone. 👍
Painful it was! Thankfully I've got a batch almost ready 🤣
I've pickled all sorts over the years but have never done eggs. Glad these worked for you! Definitely going to give them a go, cheers mate 👍🏻
Fair warning, if you eat them around anyone, they will suffer the after effects 🤣. Worth it though 🥚💨💨
I did mine with tarragon yum yum
Thank you for saying "Hey Google". Your video paused and my Google search came up on my phone! Surprised it didn’t set the timer for 9 minutes 😅
🤣🤣🤣 this kept happening to me during the edit
Fabulous! - I didn't know how to do this before but now I do! Learntastico!!!! Thank you Adam, Sir.
Ah you're welcome mate!
If you'd have told me a few months ago that pickled eggs would be my new food perfection quest, I'd have recoiled in horror. But here I am on my 4th batch.
@theviciouschickenofbristol4779 great aren't they!? 😁
@@Adam_Garratt It's bizarre. I've never had this happen with any other food. I'll be just at work, craving them so badly that my brain convinces itself that I'm smelling them despite being in the middle of nowhere surrounded by petrol and muck.
@theviciouschickenofbristol4779 this is fantastic 🤣🤣
Thank you for this episode. Great technic and recipe. All the best to you.
I pickle everything, I’m a pickle fanatic lol. I love these on egg salad sandwiches….glad you showed this to people, great video mate 👍🏻
Haha I can see how it's addictive! I've got my great grandmother's little recipe book and it's full of pickle recipes. I need to look through it and try some of her recipes.
@@Adam_Garratt probably find some gems in there mate, old ones are the best 👍🏻
Hey Adam! Hope you are doing well. I will try your recipe for pickled eggs. My favorite way to have them is the way Mrs. Judy makes them and that is with beets. Her eggs never lasted more than a week, even though she would make a large jar full of about two dozen eggs. They are amazing. Thank you for the recipe and video. Take care and be safe! Big hugs from Florida 🌴🤗💖🙏🏻
Thank you for the lovely comment Lisa x
I was dubious about the lack of salt. But I followed your recipe and I'm pleasantly surprised. I've not finished the first batch but I'll be picking up some more eggs tomorrow to make some more!
As for best way to eat them... Pickled egg mayonnaise with a touch of horseradish sauce, between two thick slices of generously buttered tiger bread
Ooh nice touch with the horseradish. I'm trying that. I'm working on homemade pickles at the moment. So hopefully that will be a video soon
Hi Adam, I love pickled eggs, didn’t realise they were so easy to do, thanks mate, great video 👍
No problem 👍
I remember seeing those on the counter at my local fish and chip shop back in the 60's ...I loved them, so now I know how easy they are to do...I'm having a go. Thanks Adam you are a star..
Enjoy, Jane!
Adam, what is your view on air fryers? Love all your clips and your nice on the eye too.
Air fryers are good, but I wouldn't say they are amazing. Good for things like cooking in small batches if you want to save a small amount of electricity. But really all they are, are small convection ovens. If you have the space, they are handy to have, if you don't have the space then not really so much
This is awesome. I've never tried to do this from scratch (i just use leftover pickle juice) and now I really want to try this.
So easy to make, plus I love that you can add different herbs and spices to change the flavour
@@Adam_Garratt I forgot to follow up a couple weeks ago, but after watching this I pickled a few eggs and now my 10 year old likes them as much as I do. Its going to be a recurring thing as we started more yesterday.
Half a teaspoon of bicarbonate of soda in the boiling water with the eggs, and the shell will come straight off.
Good idea!
Reminds me of - after Cubs - going to our Indian chippy for chips and scratchings, Then decision time...pickled egg, onion or gherkhin (if I had another penny)
Always an adventure going to the chippy as a kid wasn't it
Ah, those mysterious things from the chippy that you never see anybody buying!🙂. Hope you're well mate!
Haha yep! I remember as a kid living in parkstone Poole and the chippy up the road sold them. I bought one thinking I'd like them but my 13 year old self nearly threw up🤣. Now though, I love them!
I just got 18 organic eggs from an aldi to good to go box. Guess what i'm making 😃... Thank you 👍
Nice one! I've just finished off my second batch. I used the last few to make an egg curry. It was so good! I'll do a video on it at some point
@@Adam_Garratt Thank you, but your the star not me 😃 with more shops doing budget boxes, I've bought a few extra kilner square clip top jar's and i have 10 liters of malt vinegar on standby , just incase i get excess veggies in a to good to go bag, that way i can pickle the veggies straight away and not have any food waste.. i'll look foward to the egg curry one as it's the kind of thing that i like 👍
What I do as a delicious snack is get a packet of your favourite crisps, mine are salt and vinegar and prawn cocktail. Crush up the crisps into bits. Take a pickled egg and roll it in the tasty crisp crumble and enjoy with a small glass of sweet sherry " borrowed "from your grannies cabinet 😂😂😂😂
Haha love it!
I did find these to be a bit on the sweet side which I find strange so may suggest using less sugar.
I adore pickled eggs!!!😋😋❤
Gorgeous aren't they 😋
I would drink that juice
Nice but I might knock a minute or so off the boiling time and have them a bit on the softer side. Gorgeous
Absolutely fine if you wat softer eggs. Enjoy
Great idea! Must try this. Did I miss the part or does there go no salt whatsoever into the brine?
No salt needed in this 😁
Remember a jar of these in my local pub many years ago, was on the bar for years and the eggs never went down lol.
I mean imagine the combination of pickled eggs and gassy beer in a confined space like a pub! No wonder 🤣
Use a tea spoon to take off the shell. Crack the egg shell and insert the curved spoon and ease around the flesh of the egg to lift off the shell ….simple😊
Looks good Adam.
Thanks Fay x
Love the cinemaphotography in this video, new camera?
Not a new one no, I've had a couple of years. It's a canon m50 MKii 😁
hi adam - not particularly fond of pickled eggs but good to see you after some time
Hiya mate, yes I've been away due to a family bereavement. Back on it now though pal
I find it easier to peel the eggs under cold running water
this. the water helping push the toiny lil annoying bits of shell that are a pain in the bum to scrape off...
Making your own vinegar is a blast if you're into fermenting. Your imagination is the limit!
I can see how addicting it can be! It's great fun
Love a pickled egg I do ❤
They are so addictive Linda! Only downside is you end up farting like a trooper 🤣
@@Adam_Garratt Oh I know this 🤣🤣🤣 just call me windy miller xx
Do bay leaves actually make a huge difference in flavour?
Not really, it's one of those things that adds subtle background notes. A sort of warmth if you like. The fennel is the most prominent flavour in this recipe.
Orsm Adam and thank you 🙂
My pleasure!
I'm sure Lou would be all over This 😅😅😂
🤣🤣
I don't THINK that I have ever eaten a Pickled Egg. I have seen them in Pubs and someone has had one but I am fairly sure I have never had one myself. I often have hard boiled eggs eaten with just a sprinlkle of salt and bitten through and if I boil eggs for any reason I boil half a dozen, cos that is how many my little egg cooker thingy can hold and the surplus gets shelled and kept in the Fridge, but they don't last long.
You never mentioned if the Pickling liquid could be used again btw. Can it?
what does 'scran' mean? See your pinned entry. Cannot see any possibilities of auto correct or typo.
Ahh well if you like boiled eggs and pickles then you'll love a pickled egg. It's basically a hard boiled egg with a slight tang to it. Lovely stuff. Yes the pickling solution can be used again for either quick fridge pickles or as I did in the end of the video, use it for marinating some chicken for extra tenderness and flavour. Scran is basically slang for food/eating
👌👌👌
I love to scran mine with a nice ploughmans lunch
Nice!
Crack the boiled eggs and use a teaspoon to peel them. Really fast and easy/
I watched your vid, and gave you a thumbs up, but I will NEVER make pickled eggs. My mother used to make them for a local pub, 4 gallon jugs with about 3 dozen eggs in each one. And of course, since they had to be perfect for the pub, any eggs with nicks out of them were not part of the sale produce. She would pickle some for home use, and I think Dad and my brother and his family ate egg salad for a few days as well. Now, I don't know if you can see how pickled eggs and pickled beer drinkers may produce quite a lot of pickled gas (as evidenced by my husband and my brother), so I will not continue this avenue of my Mother's culinary regime. However, as a tip for those of you who enjoy this sort of thing, you will get near perfect egg pealing if your eggs are older. She would buy them on sale and sit them in her garage for up to a month before using (she lived in the Okanagan, so temperature difference by season wasn't that great). Also, she used to prick the rounded end with a pin to create an air/water transfer spot. After she started using this trick there were fewer egg salad sandwiches.
Haha thanks. Yeah I used to hate them as a kid lol
A good video, but this is not "brine". Brine, by definition, has to contain salt. This is a vinegar solution.
peal your eggs under water, much easier
Wear blue or red, you're yellow on yellow and the eggs aren't even in the picture yet. Color theory is a thing for a reason
Not a clue what you're on about...
