2 cups purple cabbage, chopped
2 cups beetroot, shredded
2 tablespoons ground turmeric
12 hard-cooked eggs
8 tablespoons vinegar
method
Add each dye matter to a saucepan. Cover with 750 ml of water and bring to a boil. Turn the heat down and simmer, covered, for 30-45 minutes. Remove from the heat and let the dye cool to room temperature.
Strain each dye into a suitable container. Stir 1 tablespoon of vinegar per cup of strained liquid.
Arrange the room-temperature eggs in jars and pour the dye over them. Make sure the eggs are completely submerged.
Transfer to the refrigerator and chill for at least 24 hours. Carefully dry the eggs and polish with a bit of oil.
