They are oranges studded with whole cloves and then rolled in spices.
They can be as simple or glitzy as you choose.
I've made dozens of them throughout the years.
Some that are many years old are placed at Christmas in the big old-fashioned crystal punch bowl on the front hall table.
If I come across some essential oils, the old pomanders will be refreshed.
My pomander tradition has now passed to my daughter's house.
She even puts a candle in the middle of a bowl of pomanders to enhance the spicy fragrance.
My granddaughter, age 8, even loves working on them!
HAVE YOU MADE POMANDERS? IF YES, DO YOU SAVE THEM FROM YEAR TO YEAR?
