Pomander Balls

1 thin-skinned orange
1 or 2 boxes whole cloves
3 tsp. cinnamon
3 tsp. powdered arrowroot or acacia
1 sheet of Saran Wrap about 18" square
Ribbon for a bow

Wash orange and dry.  Start at the stem end and insert row after row of whole cloves, putting them as close together as you can until the orange is completely covered.  Then roll in cinnamon and arrowroot or acacia that have been mixed together.  Wrap in Saran wrap and let stand 2 weeks.  Dust off the powder and tie up with ribbons as a package.  Leave a loop for hanging.  These are hung in clothes or linen closets.  They are tedious but fun to make and will last for years.
