Homemade Natural Easter Egg Dyes
This recipe has now been updated and republished in April 2025. I still have fun making these naturally dyed Easter eggs and it’s always fun to see how the final colors will turn out! (Any comments from the original post still remain below).

I do Easter deviled eggs. Boil the eggs, cut in half lengthwise, remove the yolk. Rinse the whites. Then take about a cup of water add a drop of vinegar and liquid food colouring of your choice, in separate glasses. Take eggs white halves and drop them gently into each glass. Leave for a few mins or until you have the shade you like. Remove to a paper towel, then fill with your deviled egg yolks, sprinkle the top of the yolks with a small sprinkle of paprika and serve.
