Natural Red Greek Easter Eggs
Ingredients
  • 5 cups water
  • 12 yellow onions, skins removed and reserved
  • 2 tablespoons white vinegar
  • 12 eggs
  • olive oil
Instructions
1
Combine water, onion skins, and vinegar in a large container; heat until the mixture reaches its boiling point. Set the onions aside for another use, as they will be discarded later.
2
Reduce heat to a lower setting, cover the container with a lid, and let it simmer, occasionally stirring to ensure the onion skins remain submerged, for 30 minutes.
3
Remove the container from heat and let it cool down to room temperature, allowing it to sit for at least 30 minutes.
4
Carefully remove the onion skins from the dye and discard them, as they are no longer needed.
5
Gently place the eggs into the dye and bring the mixture to its boiling point; cook for 15 minutes.
6
Remove the container from heat and let the eggs sit in the dye until they achieve a deep red color, approximately 30 minutes later.
7
Transfer the eggs to a wire rack to air dry for about 15 minutes, allowing excess moisture to evaporate.
8
Rub a small amount of olive oil onto each egg to give them a shiny appearance. Store the eggs in the refrigerator for later use.
