Pink eggs. How cute! And they're actually quite tasty. The sweet vinegar brine gives these eggs a pickled taste that is not overwhelming... just perfect. And again, they're just so cute!Most recipes for pickled beet eggs suggest pickling the beets along with the eggs. I (nor the rest of the family) do not care for pickled beets. So we eat the beets separately.
Pickled Eggs
1 dozen hard boiled eggs, peeled
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 15 oz can of red beets
2 cups water
1 tsp salt
Combine water, sugar, vinegar, liquid from the beets, and salt in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool. Place eggs into a container and cover with the liquid. Cover and refrigerate for at least 12 hours.

This is reminiscent of how we celebrate the full month of a child in Chinese culture. Only that we weren't smart enough to use beet root! Hard boiled eggs are boiled in a pink colouring and given away on the baby's 1st month. I'm sure yours are much tastier!
Mmmm. I remember eating these as a child. Yummy!
These are common locally (in PA Dutch country) and I use them periodically in bento boxes - I always get tons of comments. They always look stunning.
Great photo. Check out MY version (with a sprinkle of humor) of Texas-style pickled eggs on my website.
