How to Dye Easter Eggs With Vegetables

Meanwhile, make the vegetable dyes. Fill each medium-sized stockpot with onion peels (for orange), turmeric (for yellow), chopped red cabbage (for blue), coffee (for brown), and chopped beets (for pinkish red) along with enough water to cover the vegetables about an inch. Boil for 30 minutes, strain the dyed water, discard the solids, and let the dyes cool to room temperature.
