Rock-your-socks-off Pickled Eggs!

If you’ve never had a pickled egg before, well, your great-grandfather would be very disappointed. No doubt they were a winter mainstay of his diet, and for good reason. They are, dare I say, mind-blowingly good. And if you are acquainted with the pickled egg, then get ready for one with real taste. We start with the greatest and freshest eggs in the world from our happy free-range hens that we raise on a healthy varied diet of medication and hormone-free grain, and food-scraps. Then we boil the eggs and hand-peel them, so you don’t have to! But the real reason our pickled eggs can’t be beat is in our brine made with 100% apple cider vinegar, and our blend of garlic and pickling spices. Apple cider vinegar gives our pickled foods a floral bouquet that cheap white vinegars lack. Besides, if we used grain-based vinegars, surely your great-grandfather would have turned his nose at them. Instead, I think I just caught him going back for seconds.
