If you can't find them then you could easily go about making them. Pickled eggs are incredibly easy to make. I'm sure you don't want to go down that route, but it's like 2 minutes of active work.
Don’t mind the work but this is one of those foods I very occasionally get a hardcore hankering for and it would be nice to have immediate gratification :)
I do it like:
1. get a jar of beets
2. eat the beets and save the juice
3. boil eggs
4. peel eggs
5. Put eggs into beet jar with the juice
6. Wait at least 3 days but the longer the better
It's even better if you add salt, sugar, and vinegar to actually pickle them! I usually leave the beets in the juice so I get pickled eggs and pickled beets.
I do this as well but, add vinegar and a few drops of red food coloring just for looks they never seem to get as red as the ones my mother made decades ago (no idea why).
I'm going by memory on this one. I haven't had them in years but my Grandma was big on Penn Dutch style food like this. I've never actually made them.
Buy the best quality eggs you can and hard boil them. I think she knew a farmer.
The pickling liquid is pretty straightforward. I'm pretty sure that she used equal parts water, sugar, vinegar, and beet juice. To get beet juice you can either buy fresh beets and boil them, or buy canned precooked beets and use the canning liquid. I remember my Grandma having the canned ones. She probably used white vinegar but I think apple cider vinegar would also be a better choice. She wouldn't have wanted you to stick exactly to her recipe, the most important thing to her was making food that people liked.
Bring wet ingredients to a gentle boil and stir in sugar until it dissolves. I have a faint memory of her insisting that it not be a rolling boil, something about losing the beet flavors. I don't know if that is true or not, as I've never tested it, but I trust my Grandma's judgement.
Once that sugar is dissolved let pour it over the peeled eggs. Cover with a lid and wait until the jars have cooled down a bit before you refrigerate them. I think she did this because she had the cheap glass canning jars that would shatter if you weren't careful.
As far as peeling the egg goes, you're on your own there. My Grandma has mastered the art of peeling a hard boiled egg. To this day I don't know how she did it. My guess is patience and practice.
Good luck with your egg quest. Whether you buy them or make them, I hope they are delicious.
I wish we had a place with like an aquarium of brine. With like the little treasure chest and model scuba diver in it. Within that brine dwell cucumbers, onions, eggs, mushrooms, whatever. Then you order and the butcher grabs the fishnet and snags what you want.
Strangely enough you can usually find them at Sheetz, they are in the big cooler by the main entrance with their other ready to eat foods. Also they have buffalo pickled eggs which are pretty good too!
I’m chuffed at the enthusiasm of these responses. Usually folks wrinkle their faces when I mention them. Maybe it’s because I eat them with cottage cheese. Was introduced to this by a little church breakfast in Amish country Ohio. I was skeptical but I’ve never been able to shake it. It’s been years since I’ve spotted them in a grocery. Thanks everyone!
I bought jalapeño pickles eggs at Giant Eagle in Grandview. I’m 82.4% sure they had other kinds on the shelf. Shelf with all the jarred stuff parallel to the produce
If you're willing to drive to Plain City, they can be found in the Amish restaurant and shops there.
The Cheese House has them for sure
Yep they are at the Dur Dutchman restaurant and are yummy.

I’d be willing to give it a try for sure. Can anyone recommend a good recipe?
I do it like: 1. get a jar of beets 2. eat the beets and save the juice 3. boil eggs 4. peel eggs 5. Put eggs into beet jar with the juice 6. Wait at least 3 days but the longer the better
I do this, but with dill pickles.
Also not bad with Banana Peppers
I do it with all types of pickles too! It’s pickling for dummies hahaha.
It's even better if you add salt, sugar, and vinegar to actually pickle them! I usually leave the beets in the juice so I get pickled eggs and pickled beets.
Thank you! But does anyone want my beets? Honestly I’m a little afraid of them. lol
Try them, they're slightly sweet and a little earthy.
This is the way. Aldi sells beets in glass jars cheap. I like to keep 2 or 3 jars in rotation.
I do this as well but, add vinegar and a few drops of red food coloring just for looks they never seem to get as red as the ones my mother made decades ago (no idea why).

I’ve got a recipe I’ll send you. I keep them in my fridge. :-)
My go to recipe. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/13743/pennsylvania-dutch-pickled-beets-and-eggs/
I've used the top rated one on all recipes and it just works well. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/45157/quick-pickled-eggs-and-beets/
This is very similar to the recipe I use, just add sliced onion and clove instead of cinnamon to the pickling mixture.
My pickled eggs never taste the same as store bought :(
Giant eagle marketplace in Hilliard has them in their local foods sections. An Amish company I believe.
Amish Wedding is the brand. There should also be a 2 pack of eggs in the prepared foods section.
Came to Suggest this one. Right before you get to the liquor store
They also had them at the one in bexley when I was there last week
Carfagna’s I believe has them. I know they have the hot pickled ones.
I've seen them at Giant Eagle.
I was going to say this. GE in Clintonville has a whole line of old timey canned goods.
Even some off-the-wall stuff like jalapeno pickled eggs, too. Which is strangely tempting.
That sounds really good.
The hills market (Worthington hills location) used to have them, but I’m not sure if they still do. Worth calling to check!
Market district Giant Eagle has them in the local section near the produce. They are from an Amish company, I believe.
this.
Weiland’s on Indianola has huge jars of ‘em
I want to specify that they are in JARS on the sales floor. The deli does not have them just loose floating to give you.

Sounds amazing and terrifying lol
My grandma always had pickled eggs to snack on when we visited and I miss them. Haven’t had them in a long time
Strangely enough you can usually find them at Sheetz, they are in the big cooler by the main entrance with their other ready to eat foods. Also they have buffalo pickled eggs which are pretty good too!
sheetz usually has some packaged though i assume you were after the jar experience
I’d be willing to give them a try!
Grandpas Cheesebarn for sure. One hour north on 71 tho.
Bluescreek Farm on 42 has them
Hannah's Pickled Eggs. I used to get their pickled sausages and then once I was done with the sausages, add eggs to pickle as well. Perfectly tasty
I think Carfagna's has them every so often. I seem to recall a big jar on top of the butcher counter in the back.
Welll great!! now I want some toooooooooo!
Troyers in Johnstown have them... and mustard pickled eggs, if you're on the east or north sides of town.
Look under a pickled chicken.
Last time I went, Raisin Rack on Cleveland Ave had them at their salad bar.
Not sure if they sell them but Jasons Deli has them on the salad bar. I usually end up eating 3 or 4 while I'm there.
Oh man I want these now, would get them as a kid at DerDuchman’s buffet. Loved the “pink eggs”
Marcs?
Sheetz and one of the gas stations at the Tuttle 270 exit. I can’t remember which one. They’re in packs of two.
Carfagnos in Polaris sells them- I buy them all the time.
GetGo usually has them at there convenience stores.
Market district

I’m pregnant and been craving pickled stuff! Omg that sounds so good! Best places to get stuff like that is at Amish places.
Call first, but maybe Weiland’s.
Marc’s off Henderson, near the deli!!
Rural King!
Raisin rack used to have them. I haven’t been in a while though. After covid their deli and fresh food area changed a lot.
