Most people would make pickled eggs and wieners with just vinegar ,water and a pinch of salt and sugar. But my Dad would love to add onions and of course lots of pickling spice, sometimes he would add small pearl onions, Mmmmm,; this he loved to eat.
Then over the years I started adding celery to my pickled mixture because it just added more delicious flavours to the pickling mixture. When bottling these eggs and wieners always remember to add equal amounts of pickling spice and onions to each bottled, plus one or two pieces of celery and a couple pieces of bay leaves to enhance the flavours.
I still love my Dads way of making pickled eggs and wieners, keeping the old Newfoundland Family Traditions alive keeps me close to my Dad and childhood memories.
Christmas traditions in Newfoundland was amazing
Every Christmas my Dad would take great pleasure in making pickled eggs and wieners, this was a Christmas tradition he was keeping and we loved every minute of it.
The house smelled amazing with Dad making pickled eggs and wieners and Mom making Christmas cakes and cookies.
I can remember waiting for the pickled eggs and wieners to be ready so I could have some of these delicious homemade savoury treats.
During Christmas we would have many visitors, mummers and family enjoying all of the homemade traditional treats and desserts.
This is a Newfoundland Tradition I love to continue for my family and friends to enjoy for many years to come, and sharing them with you to enjoy as well.
If you are looking for a traditional gift for someone special, these are a perfect gift for a family member who would love a little taste of home.
