Who says Easter has to be yellow and fluffy? Who says it has to be all about chocolate Easter eggs? I’ve gone for a pink theme here with my hard boiled marbled eggs and here is how to make your own marbled Easter eggs.
I thought they made such a different and pretty scene and are so easy to create, oh and it is food colouring I use so it doesn’t effect the taste at all.
Here’s How to make marbled Easter eggs;
Place your chosen eggs in a small pan with cold water and bring to the boil. Bubble away for 10 minutes and then run under cold water to stop getting that greeny black ring round the yolk.
Gently roll the egg on a hard surface like the kitchen table to crack the shell. Don’t press too hard as you don’t want to split it completely, just get crazed cracking all over the entire shell. Roll in different directions to achieve this.
Pop the eggs into a bowl or jug and cover with cold water. Now add a few drops of food colouring and give it a stir to distribute the colour. Leave this overnight.
Next morning pour off the coloured water and gently remove theshells. The eggs inside will have this amazing marbled effect. Pink is beautiful and blue a delight.
Go on give it a try this weekend and have a wonderful Easter.
All love

I might have to try this out, Xavier won’t have a clue what’s happened to his eggs! 🙂
Hi What a lovely idea- I wonder if one could do this ‘naturally’ with beetrootjuice???
Such a great idea Karon. Normally I would only have thought of colouring the shell, and not the egg inside. I love the lacy effect!. The new website is looking good! x
Love the new look of your blog. Nice! So glad you are back. How is your foot doing? Here is hoping you are on the road to recovery. Have a nice weekend!

Welcome back Karon, loving the look of your new website, and I am wondering why I have only just realised you have a Facebook page! Loving that too. Have a great weekend.

Love the pretty pink egg, Karon. I see you are not letting the footsie issue bog you down too much. Like the new website look, very fresh and Spring-like. Best wishes to you and Idgy for a lovely (and sunny) Easter celebration.
