Cloves?

[greenwitch]

In cleaning out my spice cabinet, I've discovered 3 opened containers of cloves (nearly full ones, too.) A cursory search of allrecipes.com, etc. suggests chai mix is a good place to start, but I'm going to need more than that. Everything else was mostly baking, which I'm not that into. My tastes are definitely on the savory side. Does anyone have any ideas for what to use them in?

Not whole cloves, ground, sorry. Should've specified. The only thing I can think of other than that is masala, but I already have a canister of that too :/

Oooh, ground is *much* harder. (Although googling for "uses for ground cloves" turns up this site, which includes the fact that if you eat them TWO TEASPOONS AT A TIME they're a totally good source of vitamin K! Can you imagine eating 2tsp of ground cloves at a time?)

I bet ground cloves would be good in an Indian-style rice pudding dish, for a not-baking dessert. Oh, and google also tells me ground cloves are in five-spice powder!

(Or you could relocate one bottle to your medicine cabinet?)
