Pomander balls look good and smell even better!
What you'll need:
- oranges, lemons, limes, or grapefruits
- box of whole cloves
- powdered cinnamon and nutmeg (one teaspoon of each)
- wide shallow bowl
- small paper bag
- thin nail
- narrow ribbon or netting material (like an onion bag)
What To Do:
- Using the nail, poke holes all over a piece of fruit.
- Gently press a whole clove, stem first, into each hole.
- Mix powdered cinnamon and nutmeg in the paper bag, then carefully roll your piece of fruit in
the spice mixture. Shake off any excess spice.
- Place the fruit in the shallow bowl and repeat with your other fruits. Allow them to air-dry
for about 24 hours.
After the pomanders are dry, you can leave them in the bowl as a table centerpiece. Or
use your ribbons and netting to tie the fruits up and hang as delightful decorations. Either way,
they'll refresh your guests as natural air fresheners.
