Here at StoneGable, I continue an Easter tradition that spans back many generations. 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. My grandmother, Nani, learned from her mother. It was the way in the old country.
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!
I hope you will make these beautiful, earthy harbingers of Easter and start your own tradition...
