Clove Orange pomander balls
When it comes to these traditional clove and orange pomander balls, the designs you can create are endless and the scent is intoxicating.
All you need is fresh oranges, whole cloves and your favorite ribbon (if you plan to hang them)! Simply poke the whole clove into the orange peel and see your design come to life. Remember to keep at least 1/8” in between each hole if you want the cloves to be right next to each other. If your fingers start to hurt try using a toothpick or cocktail stirrer to pre-poke each hole!
Hang these from your tree, tuck them into your mantle garland or display them in a bowl on your coffee or dining table!

Citrus charcuterie
You can incorporate citrus into your charcuterie easily with an orange marmalade to spread over crusty sliced baguette, a citrus infused cheese wedge (check Trader Joe's!) or a few clove-embellished oranges for the added fragrance and decorative touch. We love tucking dried orange slices or fresh wedges into our cheese boards too!
