Preparation

Step 1

Place your peeled eggs in the bowl, pour in the juice from one can of beets, and splash in a couple of teaspoons of vinegar. Not too much, though, you don’t want the eggs to turn rubbery.

Toss and swirl the eggs with the juice. You’ll see them start to pick up color, and in about 4 to 5 minutes, they’ll be a brilliant pink-purple-lilac color.

You can sacrifice one egg and slice it to see how far the color has penetrated. Just a little ring is enough to brighten your egg platter. Be careful, though, with trying to get too much color. The longer the eggs sit in the vinegar, they more they’ll absorb the juice and vinegar, making their outsides tough.

From here on out you can make the yolks into your favorite filling.
