HOW TO PREPARE CURRIED PUMPKIN DEVILED EGGS
Start by coloring eggs. For this, mix hot water, vinegar, and both yellow and red food coloring in a bowl.
Then, twine hard-boiled eggs like a pumpkin (8 wraps) and place them into the bowl, making sure they are completely submerged.
Let them rest into that mixture for 10-14 minutes. Next, remove them with a slotted spoon, pat dry with paper tower, and gently cut-off twine.
On a cutting board, cut each egg in half (make sure to slice a flat bottom for each half), place yolks in a separate bowl, and prepare filling.
To prepare filling, mash yolks with a fork and stir in mayo, mustard, yellow curry powder, vinegar, salt, sugar, and fresh thyme leaves.
Pipe filling into the pumpkin-like egg shells and garnish as desired. I used rosemary leaves (to resemble pumpkin stalks) and also a dash of curry.
Serve these curried deviled eggs chilled and enjoy!
Could any appetizer be easier and more festive than that?
Facts about Deviled Eggs
Deviled eggs (or devilled eggs, stuffed eggs, dressed eggs, or Russian egg) consists of shelled, boiled eggs that are then sliced in half, and filled with a creamy paste.
Make the paste from mashed egg yolks mixed with mayonnaise, mustard, and other ingredients.
Although popular in America, the birthplace of deviled eggs is Italy, believe it or not!
The origin goes far back as ancient Rome. As you can see, it's an everlasting (fool-proof) recipe!
Ours has a more festive holiday look, and curry for a super delish kick.

From my family to yours...

No Cooking Curried Pumpkin Deviled Eggs
Ingredients
- 3 cups hot water (NOT boiling)
- 3 ½ tablespoon white vinegar
- 9 drops red food coloring
- 51 drops yellow food coloring
- 6 Great Day Farms Hard-Boiled Eggs
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- ¼ teaspoon Dijon mustard
- ⅛ teaspoon yellow curry powder (or more if desired)
- salt to taste
- ½ teaspoon sugar
- ¼ teaspoon fresh thyme (or more if desired)
Instructions
- Color the eggs: mix hot water, 3 tablespoons of vinegar, and both yellow and red food coloring in a deep bowl.
- Twine hard-boiled eggs like a pumpkin (8 wraps), completely submerge them into the bowl, and let rest in a single layer in that solution for 10-14 minutes.
- Remove eggs with a slotted spoon, pat dry with paper tower, and gently cut-off twine. On a cutting board, cut each egg in half (be sure to also slice off the rounded pointy end so that each egg half will have a flat bottom to rest on). Place yolks into a separate bowl, and prepare filling.
- To prepare filling, mash yolks with a fork and stir in mayo, mustard, yellow curry powder, remaining ½ tablespoon of vinegar, salt, sugar, and fresh thyme leaves.
- Pipe filling into the pumpkin-like egg shells and garnish as desired. I garnished mine with rosemary leaves (to resemble pumpkin stalks) and also a dash of curry.
Recipe Notes
- To color eggs, use a ratio of 1 tablespoon of vinegar per cup of hot water.
- For food safety, keep dyed hard-boiled eggs refrigerated and make sure that they don't sit out for more than two hours.
- For an additional Thanksgiving appetizer, try our Cauliflower Jalapeno Hummus with Cheese and Chorizo served with crudité vegetables or pita chips.

Karen (Back Road Journal) says
These are so cute. I'm thinking that it might take a bit of practice to twine a slippery hard boiled egg. 🙂
Denise Browning says
Hi, Karen! I made these for the first time so it was not difficult to twine them. I only had to pat dry the eggs before twining. 😉
Jeff the Chef says
These are the first colored eggs that aren't for Easter! At least as far as I've seen. Very clever.
Denise Browning says
Thanks Jeff! The old deviled eggs make a great appetizer for any time of the year.
