I took gala apples and stuck the pointy end of whole cloves into them, making little patterns or designs. It can be a fun little project to do with young children. The pomander smells nice and usually keeps for several months. Below is a picture I stole off the internet showing two very pretty apple pomanders. You can also use thick skinned oranges.
I didn't post a picture of my own apple pomander, because I have made an important discovery. If the weather is too warm, humid, and rainy, the apples don't dry out nicely.
So, mom, if you are reading this, and the pomander I gave you is turning squishy, it's okay to throw it out.
