GREEK EASTER EGGS

Greek Easter Eggs image

I found how to make this dye online, but I changed the technique because I did not get good results that way. The first Easter that I celebrated with my husband's family was wonderful. After Easter dinner, a tray of red-dyed hard-boiled eggs was placed on the table. (The deep red eggs remind us of the blood of Christ.) Everyone chose one egg and then paired up two-by-two. Taking the eggs and matching fat or pointed end to end, as they said 'Christos Anesti' they tapped the ends of the eggs together and whoever's egg remained unbroken 'won'. This continued (both ends of the egg can be used as long as matching ends tap each other) until the last person had at least one end of their egg in tact. This was a fun and joy-filled way to help celebrate.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

Ingredients

5 cups water
12 yellow onions, skins removed and reserved
2 tablespoons white vinegar
12 eggs
olive oil

Steps:

Combine water, onion skins, and vinegar in a pot; bring to a boil. Set aside onions for another use. Reduce heat, cover pot, and simmer, stirring occasionally to make sure skins are submerged, for 30 minutes. Remove pot from heat, remove cover, and cool dye to room temperature, at least 30 minutes.
Remove skins from dye and discard skins. Place eggs in the dye and bring to a boil; cook for 15 minutes. Remove pot from heat and leave eggs in the dye until a deep red color is reached, about 30 minutes more.
Transfer eggs to a wire rack to dry, about 15 minutes.
Rub olive oil onto each egg to make them shiny. Store eggs in the refrigerator.

Boil the onion skins in 1 liter (3 1/2 cups) water for 45-60 minutes. The longer you boil it, the darker will be the dye. Use a sieve to drain the dye and discard the onion skills. While the dye is boiling, start decorating your eggs.
Lace bands or ribbons: Wrap a lace strip across your egg. Fix it with a normal pin or a safety pin. Alternatively, knot the ends of the lace strip and cut the excess. In this case the pattern will be uneven at the spot of the knot. The finer the lace is, the less visible the pattern will be. Make sure the lace strip is attached very tightly to the egg. It's the most important thing to pay attention to, regardless of which pattern you choose. Pull the nylon stocking over one hand and place the egg over it. Invert the stocking over the egg, while trying to keep the lace strip at its place. Twist the stocking at a base and tightly tie a string around the base. Straighten the lace in case it has moved.
Twine or wool yarn: Wrap a twine or wool yarn strip 3-4 times around the egg. Knot the ends of the strip and cut the excess. Make sure the twine is attached very tightly to the egg. It's the most important thing to pay attention to, regardless of which pattern you choose. Pull the nylon stocking over one hand and place the egg over it. Invert the stocking over the egg, while trying to keep the twine strip at its place. Twist the stocking at a base and tightly tie a string around the base. Straighten the twine string in case it has moved.
Herbs and leaves: Wash an egg and place a herb leaf on it. Cilantro and parsley work the best as they attach the best. Pull the nylon stocking over one hand and place the egg over it. Invert the stocking over the egg, while trying not to fold or wrinkle the leaf. Twist the stocking at a base and tightly tie a string around the base. Very carefully move the leaf under the stocking to reposition it.
