     Found this the other day in a magazine.  It was so different, I thought I
had to try it.
     Cinnamon Potpurri Ornaments
      NOT FOR EATING
Makes about 24 2-inch ornaments
     Combine 3/4 cup jarred applesauce and 1 pkg unflavored gelatin in a small
saucepan; let stand 3 minutes.  Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly,
just until simmering.  Remove from heat.  Combine 1 jar (1.9 oz) cinnamon, 1/4
cup cornstarch and 3 Tbls ground cloves in a bowl.  Stir in applesauce mixture.
Turn out onto counter; knead a few turns.  Divide dough in half; wrap each in
plastic wrap; use within 30 minutes.  Roll dough between sheets of plastic wrap
to scant 1/4-inch thickness.  Cut out ornaments using 2-inch cookie cutters.
Use straw or plain pastry tip to cut out holes for hanging.  Dry on wire rack
overnight.  Reroll scraps; repeat cutting and drying as directed.  String on
ribbon or string/twine.
