Baking Sugar Pine Cones...
No one wants me to discuss Christmas when we are a week away from Thanksgiving, but the day of snow falling and the smell of pine cones baking filled the house with wonderfulness and just really made the holiday feel here.

Just how do you bake a pine cone? The biggest tip to remember is that the entire cone must be on aluminum foil. Any part that hangs over the baking sheet will ooze sap and you will not like what happens the next time you turn on your oven.
Bake at 240° for about 30 minutes, flipping the cone over, midway. All sap crystals should have disappeared. What an amazing way to preserve such a beautiful piece of nature's art.
