What would Christmas be without intricate ornaments for the family tree? As you hang your delicate glass balls, ribbons, garland and glistening stars, consider creating special homemade scented ornaments. It’s easier than you might think.

With a simple batch of edible ingredients, you can whip up spiced ornaments.

Spiced

Christmas

Ornaments

3/4 cup ground cinnamon

1 tablespoons ground allspice

1 tablespoons nutmeg

2 tablespoons ground cloves

1 cup applesauce

Mix dry ingredients together. Add applesauce and mix well. Roll on waxed paper to 1/2 inch thickness and sprinkle with cinnamon to keep from sticking. Cut into Christmas shapes.

Let decorations air dry for four to five days, turning once a day. Ornaments can be painted or decorated when dry. Store in a plastic bag each year. When the scent evaporates, add a drop or two of cinnamon oil on the back. These ornaments are wonderful tree decorations or gifts.
