Spiced Eggs

What in the heck to do with the dozens of hard boiled eggs stinking up your refrigerator? You've come to the right place. Here is another family favorite. If you ever go to my Dad and Pam's house you can be assured to find a large jar of these eggs. Great protein snack or breakfast. You have probably seen a jar of these babies behind a bar or in a deli. They are colorful, flavorful and always remind me of home.
