Natural
ways of dying Easter eggs with pink color:
Canned beets
juice: Fluid extraction from canned beets gives a vibrant pink
texture to the Easter eggs. To do this, dip eggs in canned beet juice, add 3
table spoons of vinegar, and leave them for 10-20 minutes. These eggs will have
a lovely shade of pink color. You can also use fresh boiled beets, but it will
take longer than the canned ones.
Cherries: Dip your
eggs in sour cherry jam and it will take the eggs around 8 hours to turn into
the desired color. Try using maraschino cherries to get a vibrant pink.
Raspberries: Another
effective option to dye eggs pink is by using raspberries. This will give your
eggs a purplish pink and takes around 4 hours. 1 cup of raspberries are enough
to make the dye and produce quicker results.

eggs. However, our experience with this dye hasn’t been good, as it gave us
brown color instead of pink. If brown is your thing, go for this option.
