Ingredients:

3 dozen hard boiled eggs
3 cups white vinegar
1 white onion, sliced
4-5 cloves of garlic
2-3 tablespoons of salt
5-6 dashes of pepper
2-3 dashes of tabasco sauce
2-3 tablespoons of crushed mustard seed
2-3 tablespoons of curry powder
15 jalepeno peppers, sliced
5 jalepeno peppers, whole
10-15 habenero peppers, sliced (optional - makes the eggs spicy)
3-4 tablespoons of crushed red pepper
5-6 peppercorns
1-2 gallon jar, to pickle the eggs in
Pretty much anything else that sounds good (carrots, pig's feet, etc.)
Food Coloring, to make the eggs even more appealing (optional)

Directions:

In a large pan, bring the vinegar to a slow boil. Place all of the ingredients, except for the eggs (and whatever else you want to pickle, such as carrots) and sliced jalapenos, into the boiling vinegar. Cover the boiling vinegar combo.
Let the vinegar boil for 1-2 hours, to cook all of the flavor out of the spices. Place the eggs into the jar, and pour the vinegar combo into the jar over the eggs and jalapenos. Strain the onions, garlic etc. from the brine to give an overall better appearance. Fill the rest of the jar with hot tap water until all of the eggs are covered. Seal the jar tightly. Shake every other day or so. After 2 weeks or so, enjoy.

To serve the pickled eggs, just use a slotted ladle to fish an egg out of the pickling mixture, and hit it with a dash of tabasco and/or salt.
