TIPS FOR COLORING EASTER EGGSSpring brings the time-honored tradition of dyeing Easter eggs with family and friends. It’s an activity everyone can enjoy and is easy to do. Simply add a few drops of McCormick® Assorted Food Colors and let the good times roll!
Preparation:
To prepare perfect hard-cooked eggs, place eggs
in a single layer in a saucepan. Add enough water to cover by at least one
inch. Cover pan and quickly
bring just to a boil.
Remove from the burner and let stand, covered, about 15 minutes for
large eggs (adjust time up or down by about three minutes for each size larger
or smaller). Remove lid, drain
the hot water and run eggs under cold water
(or place in ice water) until completely cooled. 3-2-1-Color!
Combine a half-cup of boiling water, one teaspoon
of vinegar and the specified number
of drops of food color to achieve desired colors.
Dip hard-cooked eggs in
dye for about five minutes or until desired color.
For variety, try dipping the
top half in one color and the bottom half in another, or leaving the egg in the dye for different lengths of time, creating
different shades of a particular color.
Use a slotted spoon or tongs to add or remove eggs from dye.
McCormick suggests these color combinations to create a vivid palette:
Give Me a K, for Kate:
Personalize your family’s eggs by using a
crayon to write names on them before dipping
them in the dye. Polka Dots and Chicks and Bunnies, Oh My!
Before dyeing eggs, apply stickers to create the
desired images. Dip eggs in dye as you would normally.
Remove stickers once eggs have dried to reveal perfectly
“drawn” designs.
