Natural ways of dying Easter eggs with pink color:
Canned beets juice: Fluid extraction from canned beets gives a vibrant pink texture to the Easter eggs. To do this, dip eggs in canned beet juice, add 3 table spoons of vinegar, and leave them for 10-20 minutes. These eggs will have a lovely shade of pink color. You can also use fresh boiled beets, but it will take longer than the canned ones.
Cherries: Dip your eggs in sour cherry jam and it will take the eggs around 8 hours to turn into the desired color. Try using maraschino cherries to get a vibrant pink.
Raspberries: Another effective option to dye eggs pink is by using raspberries. This will give your eggs a purplish pink and takes around 4 hours. 1 cup of raspberries are enough to make the dye and produce quicker results.
