Easter eggs boiled in the dye
As a long-time housewife I learned to dye eggs in boiling dye that first had to have the foam skimmed off and then the eggs rubbed with a cloth dipped in oil. The disadvantage of that method is that quite a few of the eggs used to break no matter how carefully (the eggs being tepid) one went through the process. The advantage was that the eggs didn't go bad and you could keep them at room temperature for up to forty days.The new dyes that are approved by the EE and dye in cold water eggs that are already boiled don't sterilize the eggs as the old method did.This year I experimented with a new dye and not even one egg broke and since they have boiled for 8 minutes and then covered with oil immediately all the pores are sealed and so they keep well. The small eggs in the photo are from young hens.
