Kandye , thank you for your generosity in sharing your talents and experience in creating. I have made the fresh and really never gave thought about waste - also I keep in the freezer . This is so much better . Thank you. And a very festive arrangement.

Thanks !!! Awesome idea!

I usually add two or three new orange pomanders every year as the old ones will dry up too much and break. I cover the entire orange leaving some room for shrinkage. It is a juicer mess but that also helps the spice mixture I roll them in stick afterwards. The smell is heavenly. I do like the idea of the faux fruit. I guess I don’t mind using two or three fresh fruits because they do last several years store them in a ziplock bag with the spice mixture. I am looking so forward to getting the silver ice cycles. I have one which I received at Sauder Village and have always wanted more. Have a great week and weekend!

Thanks for subbing!

[@Elisabeth-zi8ww]

Love this idea..have made these before, only difference was I added a piece of twine under the star anise to hang from the Christmas tree. But, the gel stain to age the fruit, just to cleaver, Kandye... thanks again and take care from Arizona 🌵

Thank you Elisabeth! Thanks for sharing!

An ice pick might work in place of a awl

[@cabincrafts2239]

It sure could, or a nail or big needle!
