Smell of Christmas

This time of year I make Orange and Clove Pomanders. They are so simple to make, and their spicy aroma will make your whole house smell of Christmas!
You will need:
- orange
- whole cloves
- toothpick

Chose a good thin skinned orange.
Pierce the orange with a toothpick and poke the cloves into the orange. You can cover the orange completely or make patterns.
The spicy cloves will absorb the orange juice and give off a great Christmas smell.
Put a group of oranges in a bowl or hang them around the house.

Happy Holidays!
