Simply, thread a needle with the floss or
string. Knot one end and start sliding the
needle through the popcorn and cranberries
alternately. When your string is full or
it reaches your desired length, knot the end of
the string or floss and cut the needle off.
You can make several strands to fill your tree.
Variation: Dry out some apple and
orange slices and add them to your garland.
To dry out the apples,
- Cut the apples into slices.
- Soak them in two cups of lemon juice
with 3 tablespoons of salt for 15-20
minutes then remove them from the liquid.
- Spread them in a single layer on a
cookie sheet and bake at 150 degrees for 6-8
hours turning over half way through cooking
time.
To dry out the oranges slices follow the
directions for the apples omitting step 2.
Ideas:
- After the holidays, when you are done
with your garland, instead of throwing it
away why not hang it on a tree in the yard
for the birds to enjoy.
- Make a garland of only popcorn and
store it in an airtight plastic storage
container to be used year after year. This
should only be done if you make the popcorn
in an air popper - NOT if you make it with
oil.
