Pickled Eggs in commercial left-over vinegar?

[MarkGArgyle]

Per the title really, just finished off the Christmas staple of pandora pickled eggs and now I am left with a jar of vinegar, I wondered whether it is as simple to just add hard boiled eggs to repeat without needing to leave the house?

Thanks,

p.s. if answer is yes, then second question is for how long and how many times can it be reused?

I may be proved wrong, but I can't see why it can't be used. I tend to top up with some pickling vinigar throw in some pepper corns, chilli to add a bit of heat and what ever else and away you go.

Mine turn out all ok, I have used the same stuff three times I think and just put in as many as I can fit in the jar.

Leave it for a good few weeks (4 weeks at least) and that's it.

With advice coming from someone called eggchaser, I'd take his advice as gospel.

Thanks for that. Will give it a go and come back in 5 weeks as to whether it is worth it or not...

The last time I did mine I put in some sugar as well. Gave it a little sweetness, but that will depend on taste and if the previous eggs were sweet or not, too much seam to ruin them.

Update, couldn't wait any longer, they were okay, I added peppercorns but nothing else. They weren't as "vinegary" as the bought ones but lacked something; not sure what. Will leave the rest for a few more weeks and see if aging makes a difference.

Could also be that I used free range eggs which I am sure the Pandora ones weren't; bit like the dirty takeaway thread I suppose...sometimes only filth will do!
