I researched how to dye Easter eggs online, but I changed the technique to get better results. My husband's family is Greek. After Easter dinner, a tray of red-dyed hard-boiled eggs is placed on the table. Everyone chooses one egg and plays a game to crack them for a fun and joy-filled way to help celebrate the resurrection.

Ingredients

  • 5 cups water
  • 12 yellows onions , skins removed and reserved
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 12 large eggs
  • olive oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Combine water, onion skins, and vinegar in a pot; bring to a boil. Set aside onions for another use. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer, stirring occasionally to make sure skins are submerged, for 30 minutes. Remove pot from heat, remove cover, and cool dye to room temperature, at least 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Remove skins from dye and discard skins. Place eggs in the dye and bring to a boil; cook for 15 minutes. Remove pot from heat and leave eggs in the dye until a deep red color is reached, about 30 minutes more.

  3. 3

    Transfer eggs to a wire rack to dry, about 15 minutes.

  4. 4

    Rub olive oil onto each egg to make them shiny. Store eggs in the refrigerator.
