I was feeling a bit nostalgic today (as we all do around this time of year), so I thought I would make some holiday pomanders and invite my dear friend Minerva over to help me out. My mum and I used to make these together at Christmas time when I was a little girl, so the smell of these cloved oranges bring back a bundle of fabulous holiday memories.
You will need:
Oranges
Whole cloves
Toothpicks
Method:
Prick the rind of the orange to start a hole. Then, just press a clove bud into the hole. The cloves should fit snuggly. Make any design you choose!
This is a very kid friendly project too.
Have fun and Happy Holidays everyone!
