Ingredients
6 hard boiled eggs, peeled
1 1/2cups apple cider vinegar
1/2cup water
3 tablespoons sugar, I used coconut sugar
1/2 tablespoon salt
2 garlic cloves
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
1 bay leaf
1/2 small red onion, sliced
Instructions
Combine the apple cider vinegar, water , sugar, salt, garlic cloves, pepper and bay leaf in a medium saucepan. Head over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer.
Simmer the brine for 10 minutes, or until mixture is combined.
Place the peeled boiled eggs in a clean and sanitized jar. Top with the sliced onions and pour the hot brine over the eggs. Fill to almost the top of the jar, leaving a little room so the brine doesn’t overflow.
Place the lid on the jar and store the pickled eggs in the refrigerator.
