These are wonderful little gems.......Couldn't get enough of them! The addition of the caper juice was inspired! And the peppercorn medley was just fantastic. Thnx for sharing, Sharon, hon. Made for KcK's Forum Tag Game.

I love deviled eggs and these were so good. I made the recipe as written and the flavors worked out so great. I always use that blend of the peppercorns with red as well because they are just so good. I love the taste of these peppercorn additions. And like another reviewer said the caper juice was just such a great addition. You just can't make enough of these to satisfy because they were so yummy. I made these to go along with Israeli Couscous Pepper Salad and it was just perfect. Thanks for sharing Sharon of this wonderful recipe. Made in memory of Sharon's DH.
