We were camping in Custer State Park in SD, and I love the pine cones from ponderosa pines. Our campsite was filled with them, so I collected a few to bring home. I cleaned them in running water, then I baked them at 200 for one hour. When I removed them from the oven, some of them looked a little misshapen at the base, but as they cooled they generally resumed their shapes. I put some cinnamon essential oil with a little water into a spray bottle and sprayed the pine cones, then stored them in a large plastic bag for a few days. They make a nice autumn centerpiece.
