Cloves are one of the greatest things ever. If you don’t know what they are, they are those little spiky things you see sticking out of Christmas hams.
I first got hooked on cloves back when I used to smoke. I know, I know, I was supposed to get addicted to tobacco and not the cloves, but both the flavor and the aroma are so intoxicating. Sometimes I walk in the kitchen, go to the spice cabinet and huff the cloves.
In the autumn and winter you can be sure to smell cloves at our house whether it is from the fresh spiced cider, the oatmeal-raisin cookies, or the Christmas ham.
