Easter eggs you can eat without worries.

These eggs are colored using dry red onion peels, without any artificial coloring, making them safe to eat even if the skin breaks while coloring. (Scroll down for pictures.)

You'll need:
- eggs
- red onion peels
- vinegar
- water
- olive oil
- clean cloth

Optional if you want them decorated:
- leaves or petals
- a panty hose - cut into squares so each can fit an egg
- thread
or
- small sharp carving knife

Directions
- Wash your hands and the eggs thoroughly under running water.
- Place the onion peels in a pot.
- If you want to use leaves or petals for decorations, this is the time to do it:
Step 1. - wet the eggs
Step 2. - arrange the leaves on the surface of the egg

Step 3. - put the egg inside a piece of the panty hose making a small sack around it, then tie the end very tightly

- Arrange eggs inside the pot.
- Cover eggs with cold water and add vinegar to prevent egg whites from running in case the eggs get cracked.
- Place on stove top, on medium heat.

- Bring to a boil, then turn down heat and let eggs boil and soak until they are colored. (The longer they are soaking, the deeper the color will be.)

If you decide to carve the decoration into the skin, color the eggs first, and then use a small, sharp carving knife to carve into the peel of the egg.

- When finished, poor a little olive oil onto a cloth and thoroughly coat each egg. This will protect the egg from any bacteria getting to the peel, plus it will make the eggs a lot shinier.

Finished product:

(Please be advised that color may vary depending on whether you use white or brown eggs, as well as on the type of onion peel you choose. Mine are a tad browner than what you see in the picture, but the flash made them more red.)
