Happy Easter everyone!!! As you may notice some of our egg experiments didn't make the final cut yet you can see them on our table in the beginning. Indigo powder [dark blue] and alkanet root [lavender] were both busts but we will try again next year after much reasurch.

[@Boone22]

I wondered if blueberries and raspberries mashed up and boiled with water would give a deep red and blue dye for coloring eggs.

[@indigowolf556]

Do you know how this coloring of eggs traditions started? I'm curious. You did a terrific job and your Easter baskets look very nice. Have a wonderful Easter as well. Thank you Ron and Justine ❤️❤️🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰🐰😊😊😊😊

[@tonyatorres8491]

Blue comes from grape juice and green color for eggs from spinach boiled. Red cabbage can give you blue but they need to set in dye overnight.

[@brendaf3132]

One of the best dyes for eggs is beet juice. I've never tried it for unpeeled eggs but, I bet it will work.

[@EarlyAmerican]

@@Boone22 I used blueberries in last years Easter video and it did work it dyed the eggs black. This year I only used what was seasonal available to people in midwest America in April.

[@stephaniewhitehead2881]

I love that you thank the chickens! So respectful. :)

[@alicevonkannon1033]

I'm an historian, and my husband is, too. I discovered your videos a few months ago, and they're just so great. I've been trying to learn to cook, and watching you, so calm and collected, cooking in a fireplace, is an inspiration! Seriously, all your work is just fantastic. I've never caught you guys in an historical error. On the contrary, you're always on the money, and you bring history alive. Thank you so much.

[@EarlyAmerican]

Thank you Alice! I do make mistakes from time to time which I later realize but we're all here together to learn!

[@ericastout4552]

Happy Resurrection Day Sunday everyone 😇

[@frenchfriar]

We used natural dyes for our Easter eggs a few years ago, it was so much fun. We used red cabbage for blue, beets for red, and yellow onion skins for yellow. We used vinegar to help set the colors. And we got orange, green, and purple by dying some eggs twice, once in the paler color and then next in the darker. We had a lovely rainbow of colors, too. We also used beeswax to draw on ours, then when dry and set, dipped them in boiling water briefly to wipe the wax off and leave the plain egg or one of the two colors visible. The green eggs with yellow looked the best!

[@Morrisonsgirlfriendforever1971]

Wonder if you could use flowers for color too?

[@freedomfighter-ze6gl]

@@Morrisonsgirlfriendforever1971 I think it depends on what kind of flowers you use.

[@boyinblue.]

@@Morrisonsgirlfriendforever1971 hibiscus would give an amazing color if you have some dried petals.

Love how you curtsied to the hen to thank her for the eggs. Lovely, peaceful video. I look forward to these. I think brewed tea also works as a dye but probably just becomes a light brown. Maybe only works on white fabric.

[@EarlyAmerican]

Yes! That will dye your eggs either light or dark brown depending on how long you leave it to set.

[@user-bw3fl7fj9w]

I loved it too!!

[@desicatedlimbs]

I laughed out loud because it’s something I would do too!

@@EarlyAmerican It is so amazing how hard she is working everyday from dawn to dusk she is always working. She is truly a real inspiration. I am thanking the both of you for this wonderful video of time travel were to exist one day than you certainly would be able to go back to 1820 America and live there for real.

The eggs are so pretty, Happy Easter ! Our King Jesus lives !

[@Sokmnkee]

You and Ron are so blessed to have each other, and you are such a talented lady. There's not much you can't do, is there?

[@annmargaret1069]

Dear Kids. I remember dying our eggs. We did not have the colors you have today. Great Grandmum would do as Justin did and it took abt 2 days to prepare the colors. We had many siblings so it took alot of work. The last time I remember coloring our eggs the Justine did it it was 1926. After Great Grandmum died we didn't do it her way anymore. It was nice to see it done this way again. Thank you Lass for teaching these youngsters the old way. 👵🙏

[@reginafletcher633]

I am just now finding this channel and I am so in love with everything on here! Once I start watching I can’t stop. Thank you for doing this! Kids these days would die if they had to live like this. To me, this is a peaceful life!

[@lindabrittner5062]

I've seen fancier Easter eggs, but none as pretty as the ones you made. They are delicate looking and the colors are rich and varied. Just lovely, Justine. Happy Easter, young Early American friends!

[@kevinbaker6168]

You can make pickled eggs after Easter to help preserve the leftovers.

[@miriambertram2448]

I recently made turmeric pickled eggs and they were great. It was because of random remark by my pet groomer

[@dancingpigmonkey]

I remember putting leaves on the eggs and wrapping them with a thick thread to leave a pattern when dyeing, when we did this at school. Can't remember how good the results were, but there sure is a lot of fun tricks to try!

[@iceeyes3875]

Happy Easter! Your cabin looks beautiful and the eggs came out gorgeous. Everything was so pretty. Much love ❤️🐣

[@brandonarkell5357]

I must compliment you on your skill, craftsmanship, and expertise. All of this was carefully and thoughtfully done.

[@latebloomerabroad]

I'm really glad to know that kids used to be able to to this for Easter! Growing up in the 60's, my Daddy always made dying and hiding Easter eggs a big thing in our family. Great memories!

I stumbled upon your video yesterday and was so drawn to them.Its a pleasure to watch the cooking done in 1800s.It gives one a whole new perspective not just about cooking but lifestyle in general.Back then people had time to enjoy whatever things they did.Simple and focused no time for other distractions.Looking forward to more videos.

I love natural dyes! Each year I am boiling eggs with onion skins, and I am taking them out or different time so the color varies. Sometimes I even wrap the egg in skins so they leave nice patterns on the shell. You can also rub some oil or butter to deepen the color. Happy Easter! 🐇 🐣 🌿
