Bieten eieren

Beet eggs are a traditional Amish dish originating from Pennsylvania. In order to prepare it, eggs are hard-boiled in a seasoned liquid that's made from cooked beets. The liquid is usually seasoned with onions, sugar, vinegar, cloves, salt, and (sometimes) a cinnamon stick. Once cooked, the eggs develop a purplish-red color. It is believed that beet eggs were the first colored eggs for the holiday of Easter, and the tradition has been brought to America by the first Amish immigrants. These eggs have sweet and sour flavors and they're often served as appetizers or part of a main course.
