Natural Easter Egg Dyes!

Not so keen on using chemicals to dye your eggs?
Us either!
Well, luckily for us, there's a solution!
Check out this tip from Mariko on how to keep it natural!
The healthiest veggies and spices also make gorgeous, all natural Easter egg dyes. For each color, simmer 2 quarts water and 1/4 cup white vinegar with the dye source, for at least an hour (the longer you simmer, the deeper the hue). Drain liquid into jars, and cool to room temperature before using.
For different colors, try these dye sources:
Deep blue: 1 head red cabbage, chopped
Purple: 2 1/2 cups blueberries
Orange: 4 tbs paprika, ground
Yellow: 4 tbs turmeric, groundWhen finished, store the jars in the refrigerator and use for up to month- fun colored hard boiled eggs are a great snack- Any time of the year!
Fab! Thanks, Mariko!
