Deviled Eggs

Makes 12

6 hard boiled eggs (large)
3 Tablespoons of mayo
1 Tablespoon of sugar
1 teaspoon of mustard (honey mustard is good as well)
1 teaspoon of vinegar
salt and pepper to taste
paprika (optional)

For easier peeling use older eggs near the SELL BY date, fresh eggs are harder to peel.

To boil eggs, place them in enough cold water to cover completely, bring to a rolling boil over high heat.

Reduce to medium heat and cook for 12 more minutes. 

Promtply chill by placing in a bowl with cold water and ice.  This keeps the yolks a bright yellow.  Keep adding ice as necessary.  Rapid chilling will prevent the green ring to appear on the yolk.

Remove shells from eggs, and halve them lengthwise with a knife. 

Carefully remove yolks, and place in a bowl.

Mash yolks with a fork, and add remaining ingredients.

Very carefully spoon mixture back into egg white halves.  Garnish with a light sprinkling of paprika.

These are very yummy!  I hope you enjoy!
