After Succos we always have some some beautiful and fragrant etrog fruit (citron) hanging around not doing anything in particular…. Some of my neighbors make delicious jam, but I usually have pomanders in mind, a craft with old world charm that reminds me of medieval castles…..
Any citrus fruit with thick skin can be used to make pomanders, and you can embellish them with cloves alone, or combine cloves and beautiful ribbon. And if you’re short on time, so you can skip the cloves altogether, but you’ll be missing out on the lovely aromatic side to this project!
See my orange pomander post here (don’t miss this one!) from last year for more ideas, and complete instructions, as well as my lemon pomander post here.
