Naturally Colored Easter Eggs

It was the night before Easter and we had plenty of hard-boiled eggs, but no dye. Having been inspired by Lauren's friend Nicola and her natural food dyes blog post at whichname.blogspot.com, and open to improvisation, we decided gather up some misfit foods and start dyeing.

For solid foods we blended them in the vitamix with some hot water and a dash of vinegar. We strained away the pulp and left the residual juice in coffee mugs, added the eggs, and refrigerated them overnight.


Here are a few of our favorites, can you guess the food we used to create the dye?:

Egg number one.

Egg number two.

Egg number three.

Egg number four.

Egg number five.

Egg number six.

Any guesses? Here's one hint...one of these eggs isn't a natural dye. We'll post the answers in a few days. SEE THE COMMENTS FOR THE ANSWERS!
