Coloring Easter Eggs Naturally

If you have never tried coloring Easter eggs naturally, here is the recipe.

Ingredients

• 2 cups water
• 1 teaspoon distilled white vinegar
• Your choice of coloring ingredients (below)
• Hard boiled eggs

Coloring ingredients

Yellow
1 teaspoon ground turmeric

Blue/Purple
2 cups blueberries, crushed

Pink/Red
2 cups roughly chopped raw beets

Put water and your choice of coloring ingredient into a small pot and bring to 
a boil. Cover, reduce heat to medium-low and simmer for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine  sieve, get rid of  solids, then stir in vinegar. Set aside to let cool until warm or room temperature. To color eggs, dip completely  in dye, turning often, until desired color. It may take awhile to reach the desired color.

Also consider using onion skins to create yellow eggs, red cabbage for a lovely blue egg, pureed spinach leaves for green, and even grape juice for purple.
