List of Ingredients
COLORED DEVILED EGGS by Pat T
When you cook your eggs, be sure they don't boil:
Place eggs in single layer in saucepan. Cover completely with cold water and add 2 Tblsp. of salt and about 1 Tblsp. vinegar. Cover and bring to a boil. Remove from heat, keeping covered and allow to sit undisturbed for 25 minutes. Drain water and plunge eggs into ice water. (The yolks will turn out bright yellow with no green ring). Cool completely before peeling and remove yolks. Mash yolks using your fingers and stir in remaining ingredients until smooth. Fill eggs (using a pastry bag) with yolk mixture.
**Color eggs after shelling them and removing the yolk for a festive presentation:
For each color bring 2/3 cup of water to a boil. Stir in 1/4 tsp. vinegar and liquid food color as desired. Carefully drop in cooked egg white and leave it in the water until it reaches the color you want (color will become more intense out of the water). Drain well on a rack until cool and fill.

I do something similar to this. I cook the eggs and instead of shelling them, I just crack the shell and roll the egg around so that it is cracked all over. Then I dye the eggs in the usual way leaving them in the dye about twice as long as usual. When you remove the shell, the egg whites have a marbled look to them. Very pretty way to do deviled eggs. And kids love them! Kim
