One of the more popular wintery foods that we see a lot of around Christmas time is cloves. In case you’re not familiar with them, cloves are a type of spice that has a smoky, aromatic scent and a pungent flavour. They’re used in many savoury and dessert dishes, including cookies, curries, pies, chicken, and even coffee. Around the holiday season, you’ll find them used in many popular dishes including homemade pumpkin pie, mulled wine, and cider recipes.
