Apple wreath

Scented Apple Wreath*

Apples and spice dried slice by slice, that's what this wreath is made of. And the wreath is wonderfully easy to assemble, even for kids. You simply fold pliable apple slices - dried in the oven or microwave - and thread them onto a wire frame. Hang the wreath with a colorful looped bow.

You will need:

Juice of 9 lemons
2 tsp salt
8 to 10 large firm apples (Rome Reds or Ida Reds are preferred, or use any firm apple)
Ground spices: 6 tsp cinnamon, 2 tsp allspice, 1 tsp cloves, 2 tsp orrisroot powder (Note: Spices will not only add a pleasant aroma but also will act as a natural food preservative)
8"-10" heart shaped wire frame that can be open or closed by unhooking two ends (or 8"-10" length of heavy gauge wire)
1 1/4 yd of 1" wide blue and white checked ribbon
Floral wire
