I've been wanting to try them forever. I finally pickled a couple dozen and the kids and me loved them. I just used a basic recipe off of the web and then added fresh jalapeos to one of the jars. Anyone have anything special they do?

Welcome to the club.

I have made a couple of batches with "fancy" recipes with spices and such that were good. The past few I have made was a modified "Alligator Egg" recipe I found online for Cajun eggs. We haven't looked back since we made them.

Basically vinegar, crab boil, and Louisiana hot sauce.

Those sound really good. We all like spicy stuff, so I'll try those next.

I think I just searched Cajun pickled eggs and the alligator egg recipe was the one I used. I added a little more of everything. They have a good vinegar twang, and not overly spicy even adding more hot sauce and boil.

Edit: I think this is the one I found, but also added Louisiana hot sauce in place of the pepper flakes. I combined a couple, but remember going heavy on the boil until it looked right.

I bet the liquid boil would kick those up a notch!

you werent sure if you were going to like it and so you made your first batch of a couple DOZEN?

Not sure why I was hesitant. I wanted to try a regular batch and then add some jalapeos to a jar.
