Cloves are unopened flower buds that have been dried and as you look at them closely this becomes evident. They should be used sparingly as they have a very strong flavour but a little amount can be added to sweet dishes such as apple pie and fruit cakes, as well as savoury dishes such as a glazed ham, and you could add a pinch of clove powder to gravy to add a warming flavour. Clove powder is an ingredient of quatre-epices, the French ‘four spice’, which is used to give depth to meat dishes. Whole Cloves, refill pack, 20g. £1.05.
Ground Cloves, refill pack, 20g. £1.20.
