Hard boil the eggs ...cover in cold water + one inch, put on heat until boiling, remove from heat, cover for 10-12 minutes. Cool, peel.
Boil vinegar, water and salt. Remove from heat, add pickling spice, garlic and bay leaf. Cool.
Place eggs in sterile containers. I like 46 oz pickle jars work great and hold at least 14 eggs. Add pickling liquid. Toss in chunks of onion if you want. Top off with white vinegar. They're pretty good in a day but much better after a week.
