Pickled they'll last months. Hard boiled eggs, vinegar, onion, maybe
a few jalapenoes or chile peppers, a little salt & sugar. A couple
of slices of cooked or pickled beet if you want them to turn pink. A
sixth the price you'd pay for commercial pickled eggs. Don't eat them
all at one sitting.

How long does it take before you can tell they're pickled if you wash off the
vinegar?

Couple of weeks. If you're serious you stick each egg with a fork (to
provide an extra way for infiltration). And invert the jar daily to
agitate the solution.

But why would you wash off the vinegar? Just fish them out, and eat
them. No rinsing needed. Then eat the onions etc. that are left.

If they don't absorb it, why not just spray some vinegar on fresh HB eggs?

I used some watermelon-pickle juice to make pickled beets out of fresh ones. I
should have cooked them longer. Next time...

They do absorb it, just not very fast. The sticking with fork thing,
I think it speeds it up a wee bit. Not everybody does that,
commercial pickled eggs haven't usually been stuck.

If you rinse a pickled egg off and eat it, it still tastes like a
pickled egg. To my mind, much tastier than plain HB eggs.

But then, I think that just about anything tastes better pickled.
