Red Eggs

Directions

1. 1
   Place the water in a saucepan just large enough to hold the eggs in one layer and bring to a boil over high heat.
2. 2
   Add the vinegar and red food coloring.
3. 3
   Reduce the heat to just below the boiling point, and gently, one at a time, add as many eggs as will fit in one layer.
4. 4
   Cook for 15 minutes, adjusting the heat so the liquid simmers without boiling.
5. 5
   Then remove the pan from the heat and set the eggs aside to cool in the liquid for at least 40 minutes.
6. 6
   Lift the eggs out of the liquid and pat them dry on paper towels.
7. 7
   Grease your hands with olive oil and rub the eggs to make them glossy.
8. 8
   Use right away or store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
