Make dyes for Easter eggs from materials in the kitchen.
· Red cabbage leaves produce a robin's egg blue color.
· Orange peels create a tender yellow
· carrot tops yield a smoky yellow green
· yellow Delicious apple peelings dye eggs pale lavender flecked with soft rust.
· Brown (not white) onion peels dye orange.
· Fresh spinach gives you a pinkish color with gray-green buffs.
To dye eggs, place in a pan and cover with water. Add 1 teaspoon of vinegar and dye material. Bring to a boil; reduce heat and simmer gently 20 minutes.
The color will deepen or change if the eggs are left in the dye solution overnight. ( In the refrigerator if you are going to eat them:)
DO NOT eat the eggs if you leave them out of the refrigerator over night
