Onion Skin Dyed Pascha Eggs
Ingredients
- onion skins (both red and yellow skin work, but red gives a deeper hue)
- eggs (brown gives a deeper hue)
- 1 tbsp vinegar optional
Instructions
- Place a thick layer of onion skins in a heavy pot.
- Place a layer of eggs on top.
- Add another layer of onion skins.
- Alternate layers of onion skins and eggs until you have the amount of eggs you desire.
- Fill the pot with water to cover eggs.
- Bring to a boil, lower heat and simmer, about 15-20 minutes. Check eggs for desired color.
- Using a few drops of oil on a paper towel, shine the eggs.
Notes
To get a deeper color, try pre-boiling the onion water mixture for twenty minutes and letting it cool; then add the eggs and follow the recipe as directed.
