Ingredients

8 large eggs
2 cans (425g each) whole pickled beets, juice reserved
1 small onion, chopped
1 cup white sugar
180ml cider vinegar
12 whole cloves
2 bay leaves
2.5ml salt
1 pinch ground black pepper

Directions

Step 1
Place the eggs in a saucepan and cover them with water. Bring to a boil, then remove from heat and let the eggs stand in the hot water for 15 minutes. Remove the eggs from the hot water, cool them under cold running water, and peel them.
Step 2
Place the eggs, beets, and onion in a non-reactive glass or plastic container. Set aside.
Step 3
In a medium-size, non-reactive saucepan, combine the sugar, reserved beet juice, vinegar, cloves, bay leaves, salt, and pepper. Bring the mixture to a boil, reduce the heat, and let it simmer for 5 minutes.
Step 4
Pour the hot liquid over the eggs, beets, and onion in the container. Cover and refrigerate for 48 hours before using.
