How to make it
Keep dyed eggs in the fridge and don't eat any that sat out more than 2 hours.
1Make the cabbage dye
Simmer the cabbage in 4 cups of water for 30 minutes. Strain it and stir in 2 tbsp vinegar. It looks purple but dyes eggs blue.
2Make the turmeric dye
Simmer the turmeric in 4 cups of water for 10 minutes. Stir in 2 tbsp vinegar.
3Make the onion dye
Simmer the onion skins in 4 cups of water for 30 minutes. Strain and add 2 tbsp vinegar.
4Cool the dyes
Let each dye cool to room temperature. Hot dye can crack cold eggs.
5Soak the eggs
Lower 4 eggs into each jar. Cover and refrigerate overnight for deep color.
6Dry and polish
Lift them out and pat dry. Rub on a drop of oil for a soft sheen.
Wrap a small fern leaf against the egg with a piece of old pantyhose before soaking. It leaves a pale leaf print.
