Ingredients

Hard Boiled Eggs
2 Cups Water per dye color
2 Tablespoons White Vinegar per dye color
Skin from 4 Yellow Onions
2 Tablespoons Turmeric
½ Head Red Cabbage
1 Beet chopped or shredded
2 Tablespoons Chili Powder
1 Bunch Fresh Parsley

Instructions

Boil 2 cups of water. Once at a roiling boil, add the dye ingredient of choice.
Simmer over low heat for 25-30 minutes.
Strain the liquid into pint jars and let cool completely.
Once the liquid is cooled, add 2 tablespoons of white vinegar to each dye and add your boiled eggs. Let them soak in the dye for 20 minutes, longer if you would like a deeper color. Some dyes will color the egg faster than others. You may check their progress as you go and remove them when the desired shade has been achieved.
Blot the eggs with a paper towel or clean dish towel. Allow the eggs to air dry the rest of the way before storing.
