CINNAMON APPLESAUCE HOLIDAY ORNAMENTS

Steps:

• Line a strainer with cheesecloth or paper towels and place over a large bowl.
• Pour applesauce into strainer and let it drain for about 8 hours.
• There will be at least a cup of liquid to drain off (if you're in a hurry, you may eliminate this step, but you will need about 3 or 4 ounces extra cinnamon to get a firm dough) Starting with half of the cinnamon, add to the applesauce and stir until blended.
• Gradually add more cinnamon until dough is stiff enough to roll out.
• You may not need the entire amount of cinnamon called for.
• Place portion of the dough onto a sheet of plastic wrap or wax paper and place another sheet on top of this.
• Use a rolling pin, and roll to 1/4-inch; thickness.
• Peel off the top sheet of plastic wrap.
• Cut into shapes using seasonal cookie cutters.
• Carefully slide a spatula under the cut cookie shapes and carefully place each of these on a baking pan coated with Pam.
• Next, use a toothpick and poke a hole near the top of each shape (for threading with hanging-ribbon later).
• Make sure the hole is big enough to accommodate the ribbon as it will shrink quite a bit during the baking.
• Run the toothpick around the edges of each ornament, smoothing any uneven edges, if necessary.
• Place in 175°F oven for 6 to 8 hours, until firm and dry (your house will smell wonderful during this time!) Remove "cookies" carefully and cool completely.
• You may decorate with glue, glitter, paint, etc. (I prefer these without decoration) Lace with ribbon, tie off at top & hang on tree.

NON FOOD CINNAMON ORNAMENTS

Steps:

• Add to this applesauce, oil and the glue.
• Knead this mixture for a few minutes til you have a firm but pliable dough.
• Too wet, add more cinnamon--too dry, add more applesauce.
• Roll the dough out on a surface dusted with cinnamon, 1/4 inch thick.
• Cut out shapes with cookie cutters [x-mas tree, hearts, stars, etc].
• Make a hole in the top with a wooden or metal skewer, this must be large enough for ribbon if you want them for hanging.
• Air dry them for several days on paper kitchen towel, turning them over several times so they don't warp.
• Impatient?.
• A low oven [200°F] for a few hours will also do the trick, don't forget to turn them over.
• When dry, decorate with a ribbon.
• You can also use shallow plaster, cookie and candy molds, press the dough in the cavity, smooth with a rolling pin, ease out of the mold and cut away the excess dough.
• Or roll out the dough, place a piece of decorative lace on the top, using the rolling pin go over it until it has left an impression of the lace, then cut out using the cookie cutters.
• You also get a nice result using cookie stamps.
