Easter Eggs A centuries' old tradition, fun for the whole family
|
| So easy, and so very beautiful. |
- Place White Eggs in enough cold water to cover eggs completely, bring to rolling
boil and cook (lower medium boil) an additional 10-12 minutes.
- Remove from heat and immediately place eggs in a large bowl of ICED cold water
(or run eggs under very cold running water) to chill promptly to help the yolks stay bright
yellow.
- Place Eggs (with spoon) in a small deep bowl or large sturdy glass (one for each
color) with 3/4 cup warm water, 5 drops food coloring, and 2 teaspoons of white vinegar.
Remove after 2 to 4 minutes (until desired color is reached) and dry with a paper
towel.
- Refrigerate Promptly and always keep at or below 45 F until ready to use.
- Cracked or broken eggs and eggs kept out of the refrigerator for more than 2 hours,
should be discarded.
