Dye-free food coloring

Kids love fun, colorful foods. We love to color our food on different holidays – green for St Patrick’s Day, pink for Valentine’s Day, red or green for Christmas – it’s so fun having a reason to make our food fun! Instead of adding artificial colors and dyes, we like to color our food with natural colors from foods that are actually brightly colored! Beets have one of the deepest and brightest colors and can turn any food pink! We love adding them to pies because they turn incredibly pink!

Place the slides in a Food processor Or a blender and puree until smooth. You can add a teaspoon or so of water so that it mixes better if you need to.
