Pickled Eggs for Diabetics As Tina produces 10,000 pickled eggs a week I thought she would be the ideal person to answer a reader's question for a recipe for pickled eggs suitable for a diabetic. Ingredients Eggs. Distilled or non-brewed vinegar (white or brown). Dried Red Chilli Peppers (optional). Method Hard boil eggs in the normal way, remove from saucepan once hard boiled and cool as quickly as possible under cold running water. Place peeled hard boiled eggs in clean sterilised jars and fill with vinegar, ensuring all eggs are covered. Place lid on jar and tighten, leave three to four weeks before eating. Other Tips Pop in 1 or 2 dried red chilli peppers into jar prior to sealing to add a hot spicy touch (optional). Do not use eggs that once peeled have any yolk exposed as this will leach out into vinegar and make the vinegar go cloudy.
