Easter Eggs
Posted on Sunday, April 26th, 2009 at 2:55 pmHow can I keep easter eggs from rotting?
My friends and I are planning to have an egg-decorating party for Easter. We're going to hard boil the eggs and then dye them. How do we keep them from rotting after they're finished? I read somewhere that onion peels work, but I haven't been able to verify...do any of you know how to keep boiled eggs from rotting?
My grandmother used to puncture the (uncooked) eggs shell with a needle at the top and bottom and then allow the egg's contents to drain out even blowing out the contents. Then the egg's ends are sealed with bees wax. This is for making the fancy decorated eggs called Pysanky in Ukrainian.
Here is a great website that explains it better than I ever could:
