Onion Skins - Natural Color to Your Easter Eggs
Ingredients
Skin of Organic Onions (between 6 to 10 lbs)
Pantyhose (Dollar Store)
Pot of Boiling Water
1 TBSP Vinegar
20 Eggs
Instructions
Cut about 5 inch sections of the pantyhose (enough to wrap around an egg and make a knot)
Gently wrap the pantyhose over the egg and pull tight to keep it in place and allow dye to soak through. Tie a secure knot in the back.
Fill the pot with water (it must cover the eggs, and place the burner on medium.) and 1 Tbsp vinegar.
Add eggs and when water starts to boil,boil for about 25-30 minutes.
Take eggs out of the pot.
Turn cool water on over them and gently remove the pantyhose.
Rub them with the bacon or with olive oil.
YOU ARE DONE! ENJOY!
