Colorful Deviled Eggs

These Deviled eggs are fun because you can make them a number of different colors.  The base color for these bad boys is created from beets.  All the color but none of the taste. Try them out yourself!

Directions:

In a medium pot, boil 12 eggs. For hard boil, cook for 13 minutes. Once cooked put into cold water. Let them sit for 10 minutes. Once cool, peel all 12 and set aside.

In a small pot on medium high heat, add apple cider, water, sugar and a pinch of salt.  Once mixtures comes to a boil, add the beet halves and 6 drops of red food dye. If you want them to be pink, do not add the red food dye.  Cook for 10 minutes and allow to cool slightly.  Put beet mixture in a heat safe bowl, with the beets, and add the eggs. The eggs should be submerged into the mixture.  Keep in fridge, mixing the eggs occasionally, until the eggs are a deep red color (about 2-3 hours).

Once eggs are desired color, remove from beet mixture and cut in half.  Scoop the yolks out and put into a small mixing bowl.   Mash the yolks with a fork and add mayonnaise, pickle juice and salt and pepper to taste.  Put yolks into a piping bag and pipe back into the egg whites.  Garnish with chives and paprika. For a little kick, add sliced serrano peppers on top.

Enjoy!
