Mary Magdalene Eggs
Original recipe from Kimberly Saward
Ingredients:
6-8 hard boiled eggs
1 cup beet liquid
2/3 cup sugar
2/3 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp pepper
2 bay leaves
10 whole cloves
1 Hail Mary or Prayer of choice
Directions:
-Mix all ingredients together, including 1 Hail Mary and/or Prayer of choice, and heat to steaming, not boiling, but making sure sugar is melted into liquid. Pour hot liquid over beets and hard cooked eggs, about 6 or 8. You want everything covered by the liquid. A quart canning jar works good. Should marinate overnight.
-When using canned beets, drain beets and save 1 cup beet liquid.
-When using fresh beets, wash beets, do not peel. Cover with water in pot and cook until tender. Save cooking water which should be purple and strain it to get out any grit from the skins. Rinse beets with cold water and slip off skins. Slice and cut into cubes or bite size pieces.
-Strain the cooking water and reserve 1 cup.
