Eggs are great at absorbing other colors. You can use this feature to your advantage when marinating. Purple eggs deserve attention!

2 Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
3 Drain the water from the eggs. Fill with cold water and then drain again. Peel the shell. Place the eggs in a glass or ceramic bowl.
4 Pierce each peeled egg several times with a fork. This will help the marinade penetrate the eggs more easily.
5 Add the rest of the ingredients to the same saucepan. Bring to a boil over high heat.
6 Reduce heat to medium and simmer. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes, until the beetroot pieces are tender.
7 Pour hot vinegar and beetroot liquid over the eggs. Let cool and then cover. Refrigerate.
8 Before eating, let the eggs marinate for 1-2 days, or preferably a week. This is enough for the eggs to be saturated with flavor.

Warnings
- It is recommended to store eggs in the refrigerator or other cool place prior to use. Once you open the jar, store it in the refrigerator to slow down the growth of bacteria and keep you safe. Throw away any leftover eggs after a month.
