Spiced and Pickled Duck Eggs

Pickled duck eggs make a wonderful anytime snack or an easy appetizer! Duck eggs are very much like chicken eggs, but richer and creamier. For maximum ease of peeling use eggs at least a week old. I like to boil my eggs only 8 minutes so the yolks are still soft. I do not use any sugar in this recipe, but the eggs will still taste great and will keep fine in the fridge!
