Personal Notes:
For the best purple eggs, soak in mixture for at least 3 days prior to serving. Remove from juice with slotted spoon and serve on clear or white platter for best color presentation. *This is my family favorite at Thanksgiving and Christmas. I discard the beets, but you can keep them in the juice with the eggs and serve the same way.
