How to color eggs for Easter with red cabbage

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all ingredients.

2. STEP 2

   

   Cut the red cabbage into large pieces, add water so that the water covers the cabbage completely and cook for 20-30 minutes after boiling over low heat. Cool the cabbage completely in the broth. Boil hard-boiled eggs for 8 – 10 minutes. Strain the cooled cabbage and add 1 spoon of vinegar to the broth - the natural dye is ready.

3. STEP 3

   

   Let's start decorating the eggs. To do this, take a bottle brush, apply butter to it, and use the butter to make a random pattern on the white egg. The egg will not be colored in the area where the pattern is applied. Dip the egg into the dye. We perform this operation with all eggs. We take out the eggs at different intervals, the longer the egg is in the dye, the brighter and more saturated its color will be.

4. STEP 4

   

   I got the first egg after 20 minutes, the last one after 24 hours. To avoid drips, when removing the eggs, carefully wipe them with a cloth and dry them on a wire rack. Having taken out all the eggs, rub them with vegetable oil for a richer color and shine.
