If you have a few oranges and cloves left over, why not make a pomander? Just tie a couple of lengths of ribbon around a whole orange and pop cloves through the skin in a pattern. They make a great table centrepiece grouped together in a bowl, or you could add a loop to the ribbon and hang from your tree. The cloves will help the oranges to stay fresh for longer.
