I have a recipe to make the Cinnamon Heart using the Stoneware Mold. It's the one using cinnamon, applesauce and glue. It says to mix the ingredients and then refridgerate for 30 minutes until mixture is clay-like. Then you press it into the mold. There is nothing after that. Do you bake it? or do you just let it harden? and if so, for how long? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

I think this is what you are looking for. I copied it from another thread.



1 1/2 cups ground cinnamon
1 cup applesauce
1/3 cup white school glue

Mix ingredients in Classic BB, remove from BB; knead mixture until firm and clay-like. Refrigerate 30 minutes.
Sprinkle mold lightly with cinnamon; invert and tap sides to remove excess cinnamon. Firmly press a portion of dough into mold. If dough is sticky, lightly sprinkle hands with cinnamon.

I found another one on the use and care card
Tissue Paper Decorations

2 Sheets Tissue Paper (20x26 inches each)
1 1/4 cups water
Additional tissue paper

Assemble ingredients prior to recipe preperation
Preheat oven to 200. Crumble tissue paper. Place tissue in blender container; carefuly push down close to blade. Add water. Cover and blend 15-20 seconds. Place blended paper in colander; squeeze excess water out with hands or spatula. Firmly press paper evenly into mold. Use an additional piece of crumbled tissue paper to blot any excess water from paper in mold. Bake 2 1/2-3 hours or until paper is completely dry. Do not bake too long or edges will curl and turn brown. Remove paper decoration from mold. Paint with water colors or acrylic paints or decorate ad desired.
 
Sorry!!! I'm a dork. That one was incomplete too. Found another one though.


1 1/2 cups ground cinnamon
1 1/4 cups applesauce (not chunky)
1/3 cup plus 2 tablespoons white school glue
Additional ground cinnamon

1. Mix cinnamon, applesauce and glue in Classic Batter Bowl. Remove from batter bowl; knead mixture until firm and clay-like. Refrigerate 30 minutes.

2. Sprinkle Peace on Earth Heart Cookie Mold lightly with additional cinnamon; invert mold and tap sides to remove any excess cinnamon. Firmly press a portion of the dough into mold. If dough is sticky, lightly sprinkle hands with additional cinnamon.

3. Run Serrated Bread Knife flat across top of mold to trim off excess dough. For a clean edge, gently pull dough away from edge of mold with finger.

4. To release dough from mold, cover cutting board with a clean folded kitchen towel; hold mold perpendicular to cutting board and lightly tap mold on cutting board until dough starts to release. Transfer molded dough to flat surface. Repeat with remaining dough.

5. To make clay decorations into hanging ornaments, poke hole near top of dough with drinking straw. Place clay decorations on Stackable Cooling Rack. Allow to dry, about 5 days. Thread ribbon through hole and tie securely.

Yield: 4-5 decorations

Cook’s Tips: Cinnamon may be purchased inexpensively where bulk foods are sold.

Hi Dawn,Thank you for sharing your recipe for the Cinnamon Heart using the Stoneware Mold. It sounds like a delicious and creative treat!To answer your question, after pressing the mixture into the mold, you will want to bake it in the oven at 350 degrees for about 10-15 minutes. This will help the heart to harden and hold its shape. After baking, you can let it cool and then remove it from the mold.I hope this helps! Happy cooking!Best, Pampered Chef Consultant

What ingredients do I need to make a cinnamon heart using a stoneware mold?

To make a cinnamon heart, you will need ground cinnamon, applesauce, and white glue. The typical ratio is 1 cup of cinnamon, 1/2 cup of applesauce, and 1/4 cup of glue. You can also add a few drops of essential oil for fragrance if desired.

How do I prepare the stoneware mold for making a cinnamon heart?

Before using the stoneware mold, ensure it is clean and dry. You can lightly spray the mold with cooking spray or rub it with a small amount of vegetable oil to help release the cinnamon heart once it’s dry.

What is the process for mixing the ingredients?
