Applesauce Ornaments

My applesauce ornament recipe comes from my Great Grandma C. She is no longer with us, but the tradition of her applesauce ornaments lives on. They\’re so much fun to make and your house will smell absolutely fabulous! A couple years ago I did not paint my ornaments and I used them as gift tags for Christmas presents. This year I cut out gingerbread men and will be using them as my friendship gift for friends and family that visit during the holidays.

Apple Sauce Ornaments 
not edible
Ingredients
• 1 cup (plus more for rolling) ground cinnamon 
• 1 tablespoon nutmeg
• 1 tablespoon ground clove
• 1 tablespoon all spice 
• 3/4 cup applesauce
• 2 tablespoons Aleens tacky glue 
Directions
• In a medium bowl mix spices, stir in applesauce and glue. Work mixture 2-3 minutes with your hands to form a ball.
          •Too dry? Add more applesauce
          • Too moist? Add more cinnamon
• Divide into four equal parts. Roll to 1/4 inch thick on a cinnamon covered surface; cut into desired shapes with a cookie cutter. Use a pencil to place a hole at the top.

• Place on a cookie sheet and allow to dry 4-5 days – your home will smell fabulous.

• Don\’t forget to add a ribbon and paint them if desired!

• These ornaments will last for years. My mum has a couple from when she was little and I have one that is 20 years old!

What to do with your ornaments
• hang on your Christmas
• use as gift tags 
• give to your girlfriends

My Top Five Party Secrets!

Posted on December 12, 2011 by

• Give your party a theme! Parties can be stressful to plan. A theme allows you to stay focused on a specific idea. For example a pink and green theme party would have a pink drink, pink and green napkins, pink and green candies etc.

 • Look good in the kitchen! Incorporate a cute apron into your look. I almost always have one on when guests arrive no matter what the season is. All my aprons are from The Hip Hostess

• Set the mood! Candles create a warm and inviting ambiance.

 • Back to basics! I love incorporating my favorite parts of childhood parties with my grown-up events; cupcakes, pretty candy and balloons are great additions.

• Give a gift to all guest! Everyone loves to get a gift so why not have a little something to give to your guests as they leave. Gifts can be homemade such as sugar cookies individually wrapped or something you buy. Check the dollar spot at Michaels and Target for some wonderful seasonal ideas.

Do you have any party secrets/tips you\’d like to share?

My chocolates are all done for Christmas, I made a wreath and hung it up and all of my Christmas gifts are wrapped. This weekend I will be focusing on making some Christmas cookies. What are you up to this weekend? P.S. Christmas Giveaways begin Monday!!!
