3/4 c. cinnamon, ground
1 tbsp. allspice, ground
2 tbsp. cloves, ground
1 tbsp. nutmeg, ground
1 c. applesauce
Copper wire
1/8" or 1/4" wide satin ribbon

Mix spices. Blend in applesauce. Mixture will be stiff. Roll out 1/4 inch thick on an ungreased cookie sheet. Cut dough in desired shapes with small or medium cookie cutters. Peel away excess dough and reroll.

Cut wire in 2 inch lengths. Blend in horse shoe shapes and insert in tops, leaving 1/2 circles of wire exposed. Let ornaments dry uncovered 4-5 days.

Cut ribbon in 10 inch lengths; fold in half, knot ends together and pull tight. Push loop of ribbon under wire and pull knotted ends of ribbon through loop. Use additional ribbon to tie bow at top of wire if desired. When dry store in sealed plastic bags until ready for use. Yield: 25 small or 18 medium sized ornaments.
