Thanks to Garnish who works at Corners of the Mouth, another local
business Rotary Park supporter, for this recipe:

Red - 1 grated beet
Yellow - 2 inches fresh grated turmeric or 1 tbsp dried turmeric
Blue - 1/2 head of red cabbage

Mix the dying agent with 2 cups of water and simmer for 15 minutes.
Allow to cool, then strain.  Add 1 tbsp apple cider vinegar to each
color.

Drop pre-boiled eggs into the coloring for 15 minutes for a soft
speckled coloring, or up to 3 hrs (refrigerated) for deep color.
Stand eggs up in dye to cover 1/2 of the egg, then repeat for the
other 1/2 in another color, overlap for a third color...be as artistic
as you like!
