Fruit Pomanders Recipe

Fruit Pomanders Notes

We made these for holiday craft projects in grade school. They also doubled as inexpensive handmade gifts.

Ingredients

3/4 cup Orris Root Powder
1/2 cup Cinnamon
1/4 cup Ground Cloves
2 Tablespoons Ground Nutmeg
2 Tablespoons Ground Ginger
Whole Cloves
Whole Oranges, Apples, Pears, Lemons, or Limes

Preparation Instructions

Mix all ground spices in shallow dish and set aside. Stud fruit with whole cloves spacing about 1/4" apart. Roll fruit in spice mix.

Helpful Hints

Tie a festive ribbon around the fruit and hang as a holiday decoration. This will last for years and can be used in closets to ward off moths.
