The Amish have an interesting way of eating eggs – they pickle them in beet juice. If you're a fan of pickled and fermented food, you are going to love this vinegary Amish beet eggs recipe. Serve the eggs along with the beets that are leftover from the jar or on their own. To change up the flavor, add some fresh herbs like rosemary, thyme or oregano.

Here's how to make it:
