Deviled Eggs

Oh, don't use canned beets. Take time cook fresh beets up. So much better! And pickle them both. Yum!

Lizgirl,

Note that we're talking about an Amish recipe. Those are home-canned beats. And the solution is a pickling brine, so there's no need to doulble dip on the pickling.

When I make these I slice the beets and they remain in the liquid along with the eggs. I snack on both.

I never ate homemade canned red beets but I would imagine they would loose their texture like the store bought canned beets.

Hellmann's Mayo is my FAV (on the west coast and in Alaska it's called "Best Foods") but I was raised in the mid-west on Miracle Whip. Today I mostly hate the stuff and I tease my family to no end for it's severe sweetness (I jokingly tell them I could never slather my bologna sandwich with anything that could double as pancake syrup!) but there are a couple of things that I enjoy more when made w/ Miracle Whip, and deviled eggs is one of them. Anyone else?

I never could develop a taste for Miracle Whip. I grew up on Hellman's, and the other stuff just tastes off to me.

I am in agreement, KYH. It's not just the sweetness- it's the weird tang it has too. But as I said- I do prefer it in a couple of things. As much as I love Hellmann's, it just doesn't add enough taste to Ganny's macaroni salad- or to deviled eggs, for my taste.

Up north in the camps as you might imagine, we fed workers from all regions, the deep south & the gulf, the east, Plains folk-Okies/Texans, Idahoans, etc. The southerners always DEMANDED Miracle Whip be stocked in the galleys... also a brand of coffee I had never heard of before called "Neighbors Coffee".
