Pomander

Traditionally at Christmas, the Orange and Clove Pomander is made. This can be added to a mulled wine recipe, or hung and dried to be used at a later date to decorate and fragrance rooms, cupboards and draws.

Making a Pomander

Using a knife point, make a small cut on the fruits surface. This will make pushing in the clove much easier. Stud the surface of the fruit with cloves. You can then store it by wrapping it in tin foil and keeping it in a cool dark place for a few weeks. The pomander will dry out and the fragrance of the fruit and spices will become stronger.
