Well that didn't work

Over Thanksgiving weekend I made a couple of apple pomanders and gave one to my mom.

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.
