Sweet and Savory Recipes with Cloves

Discover delicious sweet and savory recipes with cloves, from a chai white Russian cocktail to stuffed butternut squash and ground beef.

Cooking with cloves:

Cloves add depth and unique flavor to anything from baked goods to sauces. They are an indispensable part of many spice blends, like pumpkin spice, chai spice and garam masala and can also be used by themselves.

Some recipes call for ground cloves and others use cloves whole.

For a few delicious recipes that use whole cloves, try these orange maple glazed chicken wings, these refrigerator sweet pickles or this gnocchi beef Stroganoff.

If you only have ground cloves on hand, I recommend this sweet potato and Andouille sausage soup that's spiced with clove, allspice and nutmeg.
