Materials
- 2 tbsp turmeric
- 1 cup grape juice all-natural, no additives
- 2 cups red cabbage chopped
- 2 cups beets chopped, about 3-4
- 16 oz blueberries frozen
- 5 tbsp vinegar
- 8 cups water
- 10+ eggs
Instructions
- Hard-boil the eggs by boiling water in a large pot. Add room temperature eggs to the boiling water using a slotted spoon. Boil for 15 minutes. Take the eggs out of the water and put into an ice bath.
- Chop the red cabbage and beets into small pieces. Put two cups of each into separate pots. Add 2 cups of water and 1 Tbsp of vinegar to each pot.
- In a 3rd pot, combine 2 tbsp turmeric, 1 tbsp vinegar, and 2 cups water. In a 4th pot, combine frozen blueberries, 1 tbsp vinegar, and 2 cups water.
- Bring all 4 pots to a boil over medium-high heat. Turn down to medium low heat and boil for about 30 minutes, covered. Keep the heat low enough to just boil.
- While the mixtures are boiling, combine grape juice and 1 tbsp of vinegar in a jar or cup. Set aside until the other mixtures are ready.
- Strain all of the mixtures separately and pour the dyes into separate jars or cups.
- Add two hard-boiled eggs to each jar or cup and let sit for 1 1/2-2 hours.
