Deviled Eggs

"Every family gathering included a relish tray filled with food that was never seen at any other time of the year. Pickled eggs, sweet Gherkin pickles, pimento stuffed olives, and even heart of palm. Most of this seemed to be enjoyed most by my great aunts, with the one exception of mom's deviled eggs. This is still a treat that I'll grab up lickety-split at any pot luck meal."

  1. This is a nice simple recipe that is yummy. I want to try this with maybe half the amount of vinegar next time, as this was a bit too much for my tastes.
     
  2. These are very good deviled eggs, although I did decrease the mayo to about 1 1/2 to 2 tablespoons instead of the 1/3 cup and that worked well for us. I only used 5 large eggs so I decreased all the ingredients a little. I will decrease the vinegar a little next time as it was a little on the heavy side. I used a rice vinegar which I like for recipes such as this. I did add a little salt and pepper at the end. Thanks for sharing. I'll make these again. Made for PAC Spring 2010 :)

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

Thirty some years ago, mom published the first Hawman Family Cookbook to give each of her three daughters a way to carry our favorite recipes from childhood off into the next phase of our lives. I still have the original pages, straight from the typewriter, with traces of whited-out type showing through the corrected lines, and with drips and grease stains highlighting my favorite recipes. With my own daughter now ready to head out on her own, it's time for an updated version complete with her favorites as well. I'm starting this project in January 2010, with a goal of completing the "new expanded edition" in time for Christmas presents in December. I'll be using Recipezaar to collect the recipes, but my hope is to publish my final book complete with the stories and pictures evoked by this memory book of family food. For that, I'm looking forward to countless conversations with my 81-year-old mother, sisters, and children as well as others in my extended family. Let the fun begin! Noelle
