Main Ingredients:

3/4 c. ground cinnamon
1 tbsp. ground allspice
1 tbsp. ground cloves
1 tbsp. ground nutmeg
1 c. applesauce
Copper wire
1/8 or 1/4 inch satin ribbon

Cooking Preparation of the Recipe:

Combine spices, blending well. Stir in applesauce, mix well (mixture may be stiff). Roll out to 1/4 inch thickness, on an ungreased cookie sheet. Using small or medium-size cookie cutters, cut dough into desired shapes. Peel away excess dough and reroll as necessary. Cut wire into horseshoe shapes, and insert ends into tops, leaving half-circles of wire exposed. Let ornaments dry uncovered for 4 to 5 days. To hang, cut ribbons into 10 inch lengths as needed. Fold ribbon in half, knot ends together and pull tight. Push loop of ribbon underwire and pull knotted ends of ribbon through loop. Use additional ribbon to tie bow at top of wire, if desired. After ornaments have dried, store in plastic bags until ready to use. Yield: 25 small ornaments or 18 medium size.
