September Meeting - Spice Jar

During the September, 2023 meeting, Regina and Krista led the group in crafting a 'spice jar'. The jar could be used as a decoration for the fall months, to simmer for a 'spicy' aroma in our homes or to give as a gift.

Dried orange slices and cinnamon sticks started out first in the jar.

Anise, cloves and all-spice were included.

And cardamom. A mortar and pestle was there if we wanted to break up the spices a bit.

After filling our jars, batting, fabric and ribbon were provided to decorate the tops of the small mason jars. 

Krista also brought her fruit salad to the meeting. Below is the 'extra' touch she does which takes this fruit salad to a new level.

Krista's Fruit Salad

1 cup of orange juice

1 package of vanilla pudding

2 teaspoons of poppy seeds (optional)

Mix the above together and pour over your fruit salad. It will form a thick 'sauce' with the fruit.
