Divide eggs between two 1 quart (1 L) jars fitted with lids. In a small saucepan, mix together vinegar, water, sugar, pickling spices and salt. Cover and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain liquid through a cheesecloth, if desired, and pour half of hot vinegar mixture into each jar; cover with lid. Refrigerate at least 2 days before using. Pickled eggs will keep one month in the refrigerator.
