I canned quart jars of pickled eggs two years ago and while in the sealed jars they look great, but when I open them and remove them from the jar they develop brown spots on them that make me wonder if they are still safe to eat &#8212; I used a standard pickling recipe.

It&#8217;s possible that the spots are a result of the spices you used. Do the eggs smell okay after coming out of the jar? Usually if pickled eggs go bad they stink and the jar looks cloudy. Since I don&#8217;t know what recipe you used, I can&#8217;t tell you more.
