What kind of eggs will the Easter Bunny be leaving at your house this year? Quail? Chicken? Duck? Goose?

Whatever your pleasure, consider using Nature’s dyes to give them color—by something saved from the garden:

• Red: beets, cranberries, raspberries
  
  
• Blue: blueberries or red cabbage leaves
  
  
• Beige: strong coffee
  
  
• Orange: carrots, yellow onion skins
  
  
• Yellow: turmeric
  
  
• Green: spinach, swiss chard leaves

To Color:

• Place eggs in a pan with water to cover and a teaspoon of white vinegar.
• Add material to be used as a coloring agent and bring to a boil.
• Simmer for about 15 minutes.
• Remove coloring material and let eggs dry.
