PERFECT DEVILED EGGS

Place eggs in single layer in a large saucepan.  Cover with water.  Cover pan and bring to full boil over med. high heat.  Turn off heat and let eggs stand, covered, for 10 min.  Drain and run under cold water until saucepan is cold.  Let eggs stand in cold water until cooled.

Peel eggs, halve them crosswise, remove yolks and transfer yolks to a food processor.  Arrange egg whites on a serving platter.  

Process yolks until smooth.  Add mayonnaise, mustard, pickle juice, salt and pepper to taste, and process again.  Transfer mixture to a small zipper lock bag.  If desired, refrigerate filling and eggs to chill.
