February Friendship Gift: Birdseed Hearts
Since I have only been in my house for a little over a month, I am constantly meeting new neighbors and having guest stop over. One thing I noticed about my neighbors is they spend a lot of time outside so I decided on making birdseed hearts as my February friendship gift.
Birdseed Hearts
Ingredients
¾ cup flour
½ cup water
1 envelope unflavored gelatin (2.5 teaspoons)
3 tablespoons corn syrup
4 cups birdseed (I used one with nuts and berries)
Ingredients
¾ cup flour
½ cup water
1 envelope unflavored gelatin (2.5 teaspoons)
3 tablespoons corn syrup
4 cups birdseed (I used one with nuts and berries)
Directions
1. Mix flour, water, gelatin and corn syrup. Add birdseed and stir well.
2. Spray the inside of a heart cookie cutter (or one of your choice) with cooking spray or wipe down with oil.
3. Place cookie cutter on a parchment lined cookie sheet. Spoon the mixture inside of the cookie cutter, pressing mixture firmly.
4. Make a whole near the top of your shape with a skewer or straw.
5. Carefully pull cookie cutter away from birdseed shape. Repeat until mixture is used up. 7. Let dry over night. String with twine or ribbon.
