PICKLED EGGS

1L malt vinegar
500g brown sugar
100g fine salt
1 star anise
1 whole cinnamon
1Tbsp mustard seeds
2 bay leaves
6-8 eggs
Method:
To make the pickle add everything apart from the eggs into a pot and heat, stirring until everything has dissolved. Take off the heat and set aside to cool.
For the eggs boil for 6 minutes for a soft boil then put into a ice bath to stop them cooking and this will also make them easier to peel. Peel the eggs and put them in a jar or container. Pour over the cold pickle liquid then put into the fridge. Leave for at least 2 days before eatting.
