I have vivid memories, as a little girl, dying onion skin eggs. These special eggs, dyed with papery onion skin, were prized above all the pretty pastel and sherbert-colored eggs. They were tradition<span style="color: black; font-size: small;">.  My grandmother, Nani, learned from her mother. It was the way in the old country.</span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">This proceedure is so easy and  even more satisfying to do. A basket of these almost magical eggs are a real treasure! Deep oranges, warm browns, soft terracotta. Not your typical Easter colors. But once you see them you will understand!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">I hope you will make these beautiful, earthy harbingers of Easter and start your own tradition...</div><div style="text-align: center;"></div><a name="more"></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Things You Need To Make Onion Skin Dyed Eggs:</div><div style="text-align: center;">*The pappery skin from yellow onions.

Add 1 dozen clean large <span style="color: black;">eggs</span> and enough water to just cover them. Gently swirl the onion skins in the water so they envelope the eggs. </div><div style="text-align: center;">Put the pot on the stove and cook uncovered on medium low heat until water comes to a steady boil.  Ocassionally stir onion skins around eggs. </div><div style="text-align: center;">When water boils, turn off heat and put lid on pot.  Let pot sit for 17 minutes. </div><div style="text-align: center;">When time is up, remove eggs and onion skin to a bowl with a slotted spoon and put in the refrigerator. Arrange onion skin around eggs. This will give them a more pronounced mottled look. Eggs can sit awhile. I usually let them sit in the onion skins for about 1 hour. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk2vpu6lJXtLr02S1Smvjlc7VctpWPaAyG1LwH630UkWDXt_Gw7VAGGDvvLEFw__9MGaZUxlUzgCrl7Rq87N0NB2ykkARAAlgxFK0HCM0jxHwLWWuwq4SC6F-ITYAlfTv7drQEEoRJFRY/s1600-h/IMG_2077.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="color: black;"><img border="0" height="428" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgk2vpu6lJXtLr02S1Smvjlc7VctpWPaAyG1LwH630UkWDXt_Gw7VAGGDvvLEFw__9MGaZUxlUzgCrl7Rq87N0NB2ykkARAAlgxFK0HCM0jxHwLWWuwq4SC6F-ITYAlfTv7drQEEoRJFRY/s640/IMG_2077.JPG" vt="true" width="640" /></span></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">]</div><div style="text-align: center;">Remove eggs from bowl and rinse.
