Notice that there is one jar missing from the previous line up of jars. Let me just say, the green one fell to it's demise. I was told to put 1 Tbsp of vinegar into each jar so the color would stay on the egg better. Well, I did that and when I put it in the green jar...it quickly turned UGLY...like murky sea water...really GROSS!!! I found out, after a little research that the vinegar killed the chlorophyll, thus turning my green brown. A lesson learned for next year. So now we have 6 colors.
and the eggs are soaking.
The ones in the blue (almost straight grape juice) are floating...I think it's because of the sugar. They didn't float when I boiled them...so I don't think they are rotten.
To be continued....
Ooooohhhhh, I can't wait to see the finished product!!!! This looks like a great 3-day project, kinda like the Triduum.
ReplyDeleteI forgot to ask. Did your kids decorate the eggs with crayon designs first?
