Red Beet Eggs are a great recipe for any gathering; make it up ahead of time and just pull it out when ready to serve.
Red beet eggs are delicious any time but especially known for picnics or parties. They are so easy to serve because they are prepared days ahead of time.
They need to simply be pulled from the refrigerator and put on a serving dish. When I have a get-together, THIS is the kind of recipe I love.
The big day is easy and unhurried when the preparation is done beforehand.
There are many versions of red beet eggs but this simple one is our favorite. Some add garlic, onions or spices but we like them with just the eggs, beets and tang of the vinegar.
Hint: We refill it with more eggs at least once to get the most out of the liquid.

The Sugar:
We have substituted Stevia, Xylitol or Erythritol instead of the sugar and they work just fine. You do want some sort of sweetener with the vinegar or it will just not be good. We like tangy but not THAT tangy! Bleck!
The sugar measurements are on the light side. You may like much more than listed. Most people don’t drink the juice (but it’s OK if you do!) so most of the sugar is not eaten.
Ingredients:
(Full printable ingredients and instructions are just below.)
hard boiled eggs, shelled
See How to make easy to peel hard boiled eggs.
sliced or whole beets
beet juice from cans (add water to make that much if needed)
white vinegar (affiliate link) (equal to amount of beet juice/water)
Sugar, Stevia, Xylitol, Erythritol or equivalent substitute of your choice–this is totally to taste
Directions:
Heat beet juice/water to very hot but not boiling.
Add sugar or sugar substitute and stir until dissolved.
Add vinegar.
Put eggs and beets in glass jar.
Let liquid cool just a little then pour over eggs and beets.
Let sit in refrigerator for at least 4 days.
Enjoy!

How long will these keep?
Hi Barbara, The vinegar is a preservative so a good, long time. I have never had them last this long because we eat them, but the National Center for Home Food Preservation site says they will last 3-4 months.
