Ingredients:
- 1 navel orange
- 3 whole cloves
- Ground cinnamon (optional)
Instructions:
-
Prepare the Orange: Use a push pin or darning needle to make holes in the rind of the orange.
-
Insert Cloves: Insert a whole clove into each hole you’ve made in the orange.
-
Decorate: Cover the entire surface of the orange with cloves, or get creative and make patterns like spirals, stripes, diamonds, or checkerboards with the cloves.
-
Optional Cinnamon Coating: If desired, roll the clove-covered orange in ground cinnamon for an extra layer of fragrance and decoration.
-
Tie with Ribbon: Tie a ribbon around the pomander and knot it securely, then tie a bow for a decorative touch.
-
Hang It Up: To hang the pomander on a tree, use a heavy-duty paper clip. Open one end enough to pull a knotted ribbon through, then use the paper clip to hang the pomander over a branch.
-
Storage: These pomanders can be made ahead of time. The more cloves you use, the longer they’ll keep their fragrance.
