If you don't want to purchase dyes for coloring your Easter eggs,
here are some natural substitutes... Orange: Paprika; 4 Tbsp
per quart of water Blue: red cabbage; 4 cups, sliced, per quart of
water Red: Pomegranate juice in place of water Pink: Cranberry
juice in place of water Green: Spinach; 4 cups per quart of water
Ocher: Onion skins; 4 cups of the dry outer skins Mocha:
One quart of strongly brewed coffee in place of water To use:
Combine dye materials, 2 Tbsp vinegar and water, in a large pot.
Simmer 20-30 minutes, then strain and cool. Dip hard-boiled eggs in cold dye until desired color is achieved, soaking anywhere from 5 minutes to several hours in the refrigerator. Turn eggs occasionally to ensure even dyeing. Dry on paper towels or in egg cartons. |
