preparation
You will also need round toothpicks. Clean apple; place a drop of vegetable oil on it to polish and make shiny. Place 2 toothpicks 1-inch apart on the narrower side of the apple. Place 1 toothpick on the back of the apple to balance the apple, allowing it to stand alone on toothpick "legs." Thread raisins onto 12 to 16 toothpicks, filling the toothpicks except for the a small tip to pierce the apple. Arrange the raisin toothpicks in 2 rows fanned out and stuck into the back side of the apple to form the "turkey's feathers." Place 1 toothpick deep into the front of the apple to give him a "neck." Stick a large olive on his "neck," and gently pull the pimento out to give him a "gobbler." |
