    Preparation Steps

    1

    Boil the eggs in simmering water for about 10 minutes until hard-boiled. Immediately transfer them to cold water to cool, then carefully peel.

    2

    Sterilize the canning jars and lids in boiling water for 10 minutes, then let them air dry completely.

    3

    Thinly slice the red onion and garlic, and place them at the bottom of the jars.

    4

    Place the peeled eggs in the jars, layering with bay leaves, mustard seeds, black peppercorns, cloves, and chopped chili pepper in between.

    5

    In a medium saucepan, bring the vinegar, water, salt, and sugar to a boil, then let it cool slightly.

    6

    Pour the slightly cooled brine over the eggs in the jars, making sure they are completely submerged.

    7

    Seal the jars and let them cool to room temperature. Then, refrigerate for at least 48 hours to allow the flavors to meld.

    8

    The spicy pickled eggs will be best after 4-5 days of pickling, but they can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
