Today, hard-cooked eggs act as a creative canvas for children and adults during the Easter holiday. EGG-CELLENT EASTER BY ANGELA SHELF MEDEARIS AND GINA HARLOW THE KITCHEN DIVA T he use of natural food dyes to color eggs became popular during medieval times. English kings distributed hundreds of decorated, gold-leaf eggs during Easter. Russian Czar Alexander III transformed this holiday custom to high-art when he commissioned the famous Faberge eggs as a gift for his wife, the Empress Maria Alexandrovna, from goldsmith Peter Carl Faberge. Today, hard-cooked eggs act as a creative canvas for children and adults during the Easter holiday. For the perfect hard-cooked eggs, decorated with homemade dye, follow the directions below. should be kept refrigerated and used within one week. NOTE: The greenish color around the yolk of hard-cooked eggs is a natu- ral result of sulfur and iron reacting at the surface of the yolk. It may occur when eggs are cooked too long or at too high of tempera- ture, or when there is a high amount of iron in the cook- ing water. Although the col- or may be unappealing, the eggs are still wholesome DQGQXWULWLRXVDQGWKHLUÀD- vor is unaffected. Greenish yolks can best be avoided by using the proper cooking time and temperature (avoid intense boiling) and by rapidly cooling the cooked eggs. Scrambled eggs can devel- op a greenish tint if over- cooked at too high a tem- perature or if they are left too long in a metal pan. Egg-cellent Decorating Tips 1. Use crayons to gently color a design on the hard- cooked Easter eggs. If you want to dye the crayon-dec- orated eggs, the crayon wax will resist the dye and the design will show through. 2. Use craft supplies: buttons, sequins, glitter, beads, pieces of felt, or stickers. Use white or craft glue to attach the materials. 3. To make your own dye: Combine 1/2 to 1 ta- blespoon of food coloring with 2 teaspoons of white, distilled vinegar in a large cup or deep bowl. You can experiment by mixing the food coloring to create a variety of hues. Add water until the cup or bowl is half full. 4. Gently place the eggs into the dyeing liquid in the cup or bowl, using a soup spoon to avoid cracking the shell. The longer the eggs are left in the dye, the dark- er the color will become.
