Yeah, I know, my brain is a strange place. I was working on that natural egg dye project and I had an egg dyeing in cherry Kool-Aid (no it is not natural – but it is super-easy and cheap) and remembered an article I had read awhile back in the New York Times about Kool-Aid pickles. I had wanted to try them and never did.
So I just had a few minutes between lunch and dinner and found the original article here. Hard to believe it was nearly 4 years ago and I still remember – that was 2 kids ago! So if you aren’t from the South and have never heard of Koolickles – what some folks call these things – check out the article. There are good instructions here for making Koolickles. I’ll be trying this soon and I’ll let you know what MY family thinks.
I’ve completed dying with beets and spinach so when I have a few minutes I’ll write those up. I also have some notes on the Kool-Aid egg. Blueberries are the last thing I want to try and then if I still have some eggs left we’ll see what else I come up with.
Stay tuned!
