1 lg Egg, beaten with:
1 tablespoon Water

ASSORTED RAW VEGETABLES
Sugar snap peas, red and
Yellow cherry tomatoes,
Baby carrots, baby squash,

Floretts.

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Lightly spray a cookie sheet, at least
17"x 14", with nonstick cooking spray.

2. Tear off a 30"x 18" sheet of heavy duty aluminum foil. Fold in One half to
18"x 15". Roll diagonally to form a hollow cone, about 18" long with a
diameter of 5" at the widest end (Cornucopia opening). Fasten end with
clear tape. Stuff cone with crumpled regular foil until form is rigid.
Bend tail of cone up then down at end. Spray outside of cone with nonstick
cooking spray. Place on cookie sheet.

3. Open and unroll first can of breadstick dough on work surface.
Seperate breadsticks. Begin by wraping one breadstick around tip of cone.
Brush end of next breadstick with Glaze and press to attach to end of first
breadstick. Continue spiralwrapping cone, slightly overlapping dough
until there are 3 breadsticks left.

4. Pinch one end of the 3 breadsticks together, then braid. Brush bread
around opening of Cornucopia with Glaze. Gently press on braid. Brush
entire Cornucopia with Glaze.

5. Bake 45 minutes in preheated oven or until bread is a rich brown. (If
parts start to darken too much, cover them with poeces of foil.)

6. Remove from oven and let cool completely on cookie sheet on a wire
rack. Carefully remove foil when cool. (If freezing, leave foil in bread
for support. Remove when thawed.)

7. Fill Cornucopia with the assorted raw vegetables directly on table and
let them spill out of opening

NOTE To prevent this centerpiece from absorbing atmospheric moisture,
the baked Cornucopia cone can be sprayed with shellac or clear enamel. If
treated in this manner, the Cornucopia will be inedible but can be
preserved and reused.
