Goal: To use blueberries to make spiderweb patterns on boiled eggs
(this is from the martha stewart website you forwarded me ALyssa, thanks!)
So, here is what I did. I filled the bottom of a pan with one layer of eggs. Then dumped blue berries over the top, about 2 C. of BB and 18 eggs. I let them come to a boil (starting with cold water) and then removed them from the heat, covered them and let them sit in the water for 10 minutes.
Remove each egg from the boiling water with a slotted spoon. Try to avoid the blue berries.
Give both sides of each egg a wack with a spoon or something and place them in a container together.
Pour blue berry water over eggs. (try to keep the blue berries out!)
Refridgerate until cool.
Remove from refridgerator and dump out blue berry water and rinse eggs.
Smash them up a bit...
Then peel-and peel-and peel some more-then yell at the dog to leave you alone-then peel some more...
See how good they turned out!
And there you have it! A spiderweb egg. And, yes, I tried one. They do not taste like blueberries at all (I was worried they would too)
