Pace Eggs is a very old British tradition and involves decoratively dying eggs to be boiled and eaten throughout the Easter weekend. The name pace<\/em> is derived from Latin pascha<\/em> (‘Easter’). This traditional method using brown onion skins and flowers produces the most natural and effective results. This is a great activity to do with your kids as they can each make their own design and wait to see how it turns out<\/p>\n

Ingredients<\/strong>
\n12 eggs
\nSkin or 8-10 brown onions (ask your local greengrocer for the remnants of the loose onions)
\n1 square meter of natural muslin \u2013 cut into 20cm squares
\nUncolored string or cotton
\nSmall garden flowers and leaves e.g pansies or parsley
\nLarge pan<\/p>\n

Method<\/strong>
\nTake an egg \u00a0and wet it under a cold tap. Then add your selection of flowers and leaves in your desired patterns. Having your egg wet will help this your design stick.<\/p>\n

Next carefully wrap your egg in a layers of onion skin ensuring it is tightly wrapped.<\/p>\n

Next wrap this tightly in a muslin square and squre in a bunch at the top with string or cotton so it is tightly sealed.<\/p>\n

Add the eggs to a large pot along with the remaining onion skin.<\/p>\n

Cover with water and bring to the boil over a medium heat. Boil for around 10 minutes and then remove from the heat and allow to cool in the liquid.<\/p>\n

Once completely cool carefully unwrap the egg and reveal your design.<\/p>\n

TIP: make your design pop by polishing the egg shell with a little butter to give it a deeper colour.<\/p>\n
