Question:

I am wanting to pickle eggs and beets for a festive gift. I propose hard boiling the eggs and roasting the beets, placing the shelled eggs and skinned beets in prepared quart jars, covering them with a cider vinegar solution and steaming the product as I would for tomatoes, i.e. not pressured canning. when complete, do I need to refrigerate? Even if the eggs have been pickled? If you see any problems with this plan, please advise. Thanks. - Paul (12/20/04)

Thank you for your advice. I did the pickling yesterday and hope that I am still ok with getting them in the refrigerator. Also, I canned an eggplant relish with a tomato base.
