Garlic Pickled Eggs

Kittencalskitchen's Note:

Plan ahead these eggs need to chill for at least 7 days before using, that is if you can wait that long, these are sooo good! Use beet juice or water, if you like extreme garlic flavor then add in another few cloves, the cayenne is optional I like to add it in for some heat, if you are using add it into the beet juice mixture.

Mmmmm I loved these. I used the cayenne, went with a few extra cloves (used a head of garlic which I counted as 12) and served with a salad. Then after I'd finished the main and salad went back for a couple more!

WONDERFUL pickled eggs! I didn't use the beet juice or cayenne. I used Splenda instead of sugar. I had to double the liquid mixture because it didn't cover my eggs in the container I used. It took over a week for the garlic flavor to come through but was well worth the wait. Made for Zaar tag.
