Ingredients
Show ingredients
- eggs (as many as will fit in the pot);
- red wine (enough to fully cover the eggs).
Preparation
- Prepare the ingredients, noting that the cheapest wine will do, regardless of whether it is fortified, sweet, semi-sweet, or dry. The main thing is that the color is red. The eggs can be of any color, and the quantity can be according to your preference, but all the preparations must be completely submerged in the wine.
- Clean the eggs using soda to remove dirt and stamps. They should be at room temperature. Place them in the pot (preferably one made of stainless steel – it will be easier to clean from the wine sediment later).
- Pour enough red wine into the pot so that the eggs are fully submerged.
- Transfer the pot to medium heat.
- Bring the wine to a boil, then reduce to the lowest heat and boil the eggs for another 10 minutes.
- Then remove the pot from the stove, but do not take the eggs out.
- Cover the dish with a lid and leave it in this state for 8-10 hours. The longer the eggs sit in the wine, the deeper the color they will acquire, additionally covered with crystals of tartar.
- After 8-10 hours, take the eggs out of the wine onto a paper napkin and leave them to dry. Under no circumstances should you rub them with vegetable oil for shine – this will wipe off the sparkling crystals. The eggs just need to be dried on a paper napkin.
Now you know how to dye eggs with red wine for Easter – it’s very simple.
