This year I got some advice from my favourite Greek sweets shop at Parramatta and my Greek Easter eggs worked out.

The dye is diluted into a warm water and vinegar solution and then added to the saucepan with the eggs. I began with a low simmer and allowed it to then slow boil. There was only one layer of eggs in the saucepan so the result was no breakages and each egg was boiled properly.

My youngest nephew got advice from his grandfather on how to beat the rest of us and this year he won the egg cracking competition. We all had fun.
