Pickle juice paint


I have had a few inquiries about my special pickle juice paint. It's basically uh... pickle juice and food coloring. And we use it as paint because there's never enough to completely submerge the eggs. So I pour the juice from the pickle jar through a strainer into small containers, add a little food coloring, hand the kids paint brushes, and poof - happy colorful easter eggs. Alex and Louisa kept adding layers of "paint" to their eggs, so theirs were more colorful. Annie wanted hers to be more muted, so she stopped after 1 layer.

Thanks! We'll have to try that. We didn't get around to coloring eggs for Easter, but the desire is still there. Also, Chris will be more than happy to eat the pickles. :-) -Kathy
