Step‑by‑Step Instructions
- Start by placing 12 duck eggs and 8 chicken eggs in a large pot. Cover with cold water, ensuring eggs are fully submerged. Bring to a gentle boil, cooking duck eggs for 12 minutes and chicken eggs for 9-10 minutes.
- Transfer cooked eggs into an ice water bath for 10-15 minutes. Crack shells and peel under running water.
- In a medium saucepan, combine 2 cups of white vinegar, 2 cups of water, 2 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 tablespoon of salt. Heat until sugar and salt dissolve, then let cool.
- Layer the bottom of clean jars with smashed garlic, followed by crushed red pepper flakes, sliced jalapeños, and sweet red pepper.
- Place peeled eggs into prepared jars, packing snugly without overcrowding.
- Once brine has cooled, pour it over packed eggs, ensuring they're fully submerged. Seal jars tightly.
- Refrigerate sealed jars for at least 3 days to allow flavors to develop.

Notes
For best flavor, let eggs sit in the fridge for up to a week. Use older eggs for easier peeling and store in glass jars.
