This is one of my all time favorite recipes, and my daughter LOVES to help make these. I have these hung all over my christmas tree every year, along with wax dipped salt dough ornies, berries, sweet annie, white lights, and little hand sewn primitive ornies. It makes for such a simple, sweet, and yummy smelling tree that you can smell through your whole house!
These also make great little adds hanging on any cabinet, knob, curtain tie backs, twig swags, wreaths, and the possiblities are endless! So what are you waiting for? Here is what you will need~
Ingredients :
2 cups applesauce or applebutter (I prefer the apple butter)
2 cups cinnamon
2 Tablespoons clove powder
1 Tablespoon allspice
¼ cup salt
¼ cup glue
1 Tablespoon Vanilla
water in case dough is too stiff
Large bowl
old cookie sheets / you can find these at goodwill if you don't have
old ones
old spoons
Foil or wax paper
cookie cutters
Hands for molding own ornies such as apples / pears
straw for making holes for hanging
Mix your ingredients . Dough will be stiff ,, but you can add water
to make more pliable . Let dough rest for about a half hour .
Roll your dough out to your desired thickness , I usually roll out to
about ½ inch thick .
Cut your shapes with your cutters and don't forget to get that straw
for holes if you want to hang them .
Or use hands to shape pears, apples , plums , dolls ,anything
handmade .
Place on foil or wax paper lined cookie sheet .
Oven should be heated to no more than 200 degrees . Not all ovens
are the same . Test this as , they sell thermometers to test the
accuracy of your controls .
This dough can burn just like any other .
Smaller items will only need to be in the oven for 30 mins. To an
hour . Handmoldes up to 2 hours checking frequently as not to
burn .
Pull out and let sit to finishing drying as long as needed .
Now you can decorate however you wish .
Use wire , jute , twine , yarn and many other items to string
through holes for hanging .
