This Purple Pickled Eggs recipe is apparently a Pennsylvania Dutch recipe and has been in the family for a long time but I don’t know how.
Pickled eggs are something I ate at my Grannies house when I was growing up. So maybe the recipe was passed down on my maternal grandmother’s side of the family.
The longer the eggs sit in the brine, the darker and more flavorful they will get. Sometimes when I make them I add a few very thin slices of onion.

I grew up eating pickled eggs and these Purple Pickled eggs was a favorite!
- 1/4 cup beet juice
- 1/2 cup vinegar
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon or 1 stick cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon clove
- 2 cups cooked beets sliced (or small, whole beets)
- 1 dozen eggs hardboiled, peeled and chilled
- Heat brine ingredients to boiling. Pour over beets and let stand six hours.
- Add hard-boiled eggs and let stand in refrigerator for up to one week. Assuming you can wait that long. I can't. I start snitching them the day after they're put in the fridge.
Enjoy!
