Subject: Re: Interesting preservation question
My grandmother used to make gingerbread tree ornaments & I can tell you how
they were preserved (never thought this knowledge would be useful): place in
a
food dehydrator overnight or for however long the instructions on your
particular model states. Then, coat it in wood varnish (2 or 3 coats) &
make
sure it dries well by hanging it in the air (no sides touching anything). I
still have an ornament we made when I was in second grade long, long ago...
