Alison:

Here are a couple recipes I found on the web that use jalapeno peppers AND no beets!

Very Hot Pickled Egg Recipe

Ingredients:

3 Dozen Hard Boiled Eggs
2 cups White Vinegar
16 ounces Sliced Jalapeno's and Juice (canned is easiest)
1 cup Water
12 oz MacIlheney Tobasco sauce

Directions:

Boil the water, vinegar, and jalepeno's for about 20min and then add the tobasco sauce to it. Layer the eggs and the peppers in the big GLASS jar (the size restaraunts get their pickles etc.. in) and then pour the liquid over the top, filling any extra space with 50/50 water/vinegar. Top off and let stew for 2-3 weeks - any longer and they start to get rubbery.

Warning, these are VERY VERY HOT and need lots of cheap beer to wash them down.
