Natural Dyed Easter Eggs There are so many lovely ways to dye Easter eggs! I love the natural look of these eggs that I found at the blog Savour Fare. I took a walk around my garden and found a few crocus and dwarf iris blooms and also cut some fronds of Italian parsley and then collected all the red and yellow onion skins I could find. I held the bits of flower or parsley in place on each egg and carefully placed onion skins around each one. I wasn't too careful to make sure the entire egg was covered. Then I wrapped each 'package' with cut sections of old panty hose and tied them with kitchen string. (Next time I will use white muslin or cheese cloth as the netting from the nylons dyed onto the eggs too).

Then, I filled a large pan with water, just to cover the eggs, added a large splash of vinegar (maybe 1/4 cup) to the pot to help the colors set.  The water was brought to a boil, then lowered.  I simmered them in the water for about 15-20 minutes.  Afterward, they were removed and plunged into a bowl of ice water for about 5 minutes.  Then I removed the wrapping. I was delighted with the result! Each member of the family will have a small glass basket of eggs at their place setting today!
