Rinse pinecones
with water. Lay cones on an old cookie sheet and place in
300 degree oven for one hour. Spread cones out on layers of
newspapers and set aside for complete drying. (This step is
recommended, but is optional)
Sprinkle with ground
cloves and cinnamon (or you can choose one or the other, if
you'd prefer). Gently tap off excess spice. Let dry and arrange
in basket. Decorate with colorful ribbons, cinnamon sticks
and greenery.
