....pickled beet juice may be omitted

Oh, no it cannot! Sorry, had a "Grandma" flashback. Whenever she opened up one of her quart jars of pickled beets, in went the eggs! That beet flavor makes them really yummy (and much prettier...LOL).

I was reading about the Penn. Deutsch (ancestors on Grandma's side)...they considered the pink eggs good luck; they were a wedding treat.

Hello and welcome to the thread.

Thank you for sharing, interesting that something as common as an egg, in beet juice, would become a wedding favor.

I cannot recall where I read something along this line, years ago.

There was a time in the 1960’s when we bought something called a sweet dill pickle or something like that and when the pickles were gone, put onions, celery and carrots in the juice and brought them to a boil, then hid then in the refrig, as they did not last long.

I might have even liked the boiled eggs, with pickled beet juice.

Please do share any of the other good idea’s that you have found or know.

This thread was not planned for a me only posting, the others say they will post when the garden work is done.....LOL and I try to have faith.

I found a batch of Amish recipes, but have not had time to post them.
