Ingredients:

Cinnamon Ground

Applesauce

All- purpose White glue

Directions:

Start with two cups of Hanna's Gourmet Cinnamon Ground

Dump the cinnamon into a large bowl and add 1/2 cup of smooth applesauce

Mix the two ingredients with a spoon. This might look a little mealy, but press forward

Once the Cinnamon and Applesauce are mixed, add one cup of all-purpose white glue.  The “dough” should start to come together although it is still thick and sticky.

Pres into a ball with your hands and place on a piece of parchment paper

Let the dough sit for an hour.  This allows the dough to form, making it workable

 Dust a smooth work surface with cinnamon

Roll out the dough to about 1/4″ thickness

Use a non-stick rolling pin

You can cut or sculpt the dough however you like  (ex: cookie cutters)

poked holes in all of the ornaments with a straw (so the ornaments can hang)

Pop the ornaments in a 200 degree oven for 2 hours.  If you have them on a drying rack, where both sides are exposed the air, there is no need to flip them.  If you have them directly on a cookie sheet, flip them a couple of times while they are in the oven to make sure both sides dry

Ingredients:

1 bottle: Medium bodied red wine (Pinot Noir)

1/4 Jar: Hanna's Gourmet Mulling Spice

1/4 cup: Sugar

1 medium sized orange (cut into wedges)

Garnish:

Cinnamon Sticks

Orange Wedges

Directions:

bring ingredients to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Remove from heat, and let stand for 10 minutes. Pour through a fine wire-mesh strainer. Discard solids. Serve hot and add garnishes.
