Cloves have become a necessary flavouring in many dishes.
Use it in chilled wines, stewed fruits, meat dishes and soups. 
Gives a big lift to fruit cakes, gingerbread, puddings, honey cakes, Christmas cakes and hams. Also for bottled fruits, apples, peaches, pears, prunes, quinces, plums, and preserves.
Cloves have a very strong aromatic scent, but pungent aromatic taste.
