❓ Frequently Asked Questions About Pickled Eggs with Beets
1. How long do pickled eggs with beets last in the fridge?
They will last for up to 2 weeks when stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. The flavor actually gets better after a few days.
2. Can I use canned beets instead of fresh?
Yes, you can use canned beets. Just drain them and skip the cooking step. The pickling liquid will still work fine, but fresh beets give a firmer texture and more earthy flavor.
3. Do I have to use red onion?
No, it is optional. The red onion adds a nice crunch and a bit of sharpness, but you can leave it out or substitute with a shallot.
4. Why are my pickled eggs turning a weird color?
Sometimes the eggs can turn a bit greenish or gray if they are overcooked or if the pickling liquid is too acidic. Make sure you use fresh eggs and do not boil them for too long. The pink color from the beets should dominate.
5. Can I reuse the pickling liquid?
Yes, you can reuse it for another batch of eggs, but the flavor will be milder. You can also use it to pickle other vegetables like carrots or onions.
