Red Beet Eggs

Red Beet Eggs

Red Beet Eggs are a great recipe for any gathering; make it up ahead of time and just pull it out when ready to serve.

Red beet eggs are delicious any time but especially known for picnics or parties. They are so easy to serve because they are prepared days ahead of time.

They need to simply be pulled from the refrigerator and put on a serving dish. When I have a get-together, THIS is the kind of recipe I love.

The big day is easy and unhurried when the preparation is done beforehand.

There are many versions of red beet eggs but this simple one is our favorite. Some add garlic, onions or spices but we like them with just the eggs, beets and tang of the vinegar.

Hint: We refill it with more eggs at least once to get the most out of the liquid.

The Sugar:

We have substituted Stevia, Xylitol or Erythritol instead of the sugar and they work just fine. You do want some sort of sweetener with the vinegar or it will just not be good. We like tangy but not THAT tangy! Bleck!

The sugar measurements are on the light side. You may like much more than listed. Most people don’t drink the juice (but it’s OK if you do!) so most of the sugar is not eaten.

How long will these keep?

Hi Barbara, The vinegar is a preservative so a good, long time. I have never had them last this long because we eat them, but the National Center for Home Food Preservation site says they will last 3-4 months.
