Spicy Pickled Eggs

My husband LOVES pickled eggs and spicy things so when I found a recipe for spicy pickled eggs I knew he would be happy.  We have chickens so whenever we have excess eggs I throw a jar of these together. 

Spicy Pickled Eggs:
32 hard boiled eggs
2 cups vinegar
1 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1 tsp salt
pinch of bay leaves
pinch of dillweed
pinch of clove
pinch of cinnamon
pinch of mustard seed
1 tsp red pepper flakes
3 pitted and chopped habanero peppers
3 pitted and chopped jalapeno peppers
1 chopped red pepper
1 chopped onion
1/2 jar of hot peppers with tips cut

Hard boil the 32 eggs.  The best way to hard boil eggs is to place them in a single layer at the bottom of a large pan.  Fill with water to above the top of eggs.  Place on stove on high and bring to a boil.  Cover and remove from heat.  Let sit covered for 12 minutes.  Remove cover and cool.  Run under cool water and peel.

Mix all ingredients aside from eggs into a large pot over medium heat.  Simmer the mixture 15 minutes and cool.  Pour into large container and add eggs between scoops of peppers.  Refrigerate 3 weeks.

Once he eats some of the eggs, my daughter and I like to steal a scoop of peppers and chop them up in the blender to add to spaghetti sauce.
