skin so soft from Avon, I put a capful in a low boiling pot & add pine cones. Lay out on a protected surface to dry. -

I put the cones on a piece of aluminum foil or parchment paper and bake the cones at a low temp 225 +- and the sap will drip out of the cones. The other thing this will do is kill the bugs in them. :) -

Yes, baking them should work! I prefer parchment paper to foil :) -

Perfect timing for me to see your tips! My husband has been bringing me home some beautiful pine cones but they are very sappy and we were wondering how to get rid of it. Thank you, I'll be baking them.
