I know, it’s a tad early to be posting about Christmas but if you want to do cinnamon pinecones the way I am, you have to start like, now! I started making my own cinnamon oil to coat them in using only two things:
- Cinnamon Sticks
- Cooking Oil
This is really easy, just take the sticks and place them in a jar ( I broke them up, not sure if that matters or not but I wanted to make sure I got all the cinnamon goodness out). Then, fill with cooking oil. If you plan on cooking with this cinnamon oil in the future, you should use an olive oil. Otherwise I just used a vegetable oil.
Set the jar in a window to cook a bit for about a month…
Then pour the oil in a ziploc bag with pine cones, shake and soak for about a day and you have Christmas pinecones!
So you don’t have time to do this? Just buy cinnamon oil from Amazon, I found one with free shipping when you spend over $25 so get your holiday shopping on!
Great idea! It’s never to early to start thinking about Christmas!
I love this idea.
Just curious about measurements and yield.
Do the pinecones soak up the entire contents, or do you do multiple batches from one ziploc?
Thanks.
