Apple Cinnamon Ornament

These are a sweet-smelling ornament that adds the fragrance of apple pie to your house!  Hang it in the kitchen or dining room.  To make, line a colander with heavy paper towels or cheesecloth and pour in a jar of applesauce.  Let sit for one hour then remove drained applesauce to a mixing bowl.  Add an equal portion of cinnamon (i.e. 1 cup sauce plus 1 cup cinnamon) and mix together to form a dough.   Note that Costco is good source for bulk spices, as is most Indian markets.

Roll the dough out on wax paper to ¼ - ½  inch thick.  From shapes by hand or use holiday cookie cutters, then use a straw to poke a hole in the top of each ornament for hanging later.  Let dry for several days in a warm location.  When your ornament is completely dry, slip a ribbon or yarn through the hole and make a loop for hanging.
