Eggs.  Yes.  Hard boiled.  Peel while hot, pinch while hot to dimple them (I
keep a bowl of cool water to dash my hand in while holding the hot egg).
Once the dimple is set put it aside to dry and keep peeling/dimpling till
all are done.  Smear on in an uneven coat some yellow food colouring then
follow that with an uneven coat of red food colouring.  I use washed rose
leaves insterted with a clove with the round bit on it for the top and for
the bottom dimple I use a clove without a round bit.
Dead easy.
Good luck
Olwen
