How many cloves is too many cloves bread sauce

[Justcannotbearsed]

I’ve put about 12 in, nigella on reading says 4… just at the onion soaking phase. Do I get back out of bed and sort it out…

It’s the only thing I don’t buy pre made at Christmas….

Funnily enough I used 12 and it was fine, not too clovey. But I cooked a large amount, 1200ml worth of milk....

None. Haha! I hate cloves, reminds me of when I had a dry socket and the dentist stuffed it with some packing covered in clove oil. Haven't been able to taste it since...

Hmm I’m only doing about 750ml…..I think I’ve overcloved.

One

I think Marry Berry also says four, but I also use about 12. I don't leave it overnight though.

I think 12 is too many! Living life dangerously OP!

I put about 20 in, but I love cloves.

Oh, you've gone back to bed this morning - just don't leave it too long, it will be perfect. I'm probably going to use lasts years cloves which might not have full potency any more, which is why I'll need loads.

One's enough

Oh we use loads. easily 12. But maybe not overnight. We put it direct in the milk and finely dice the onion then strain it.

and we only make enough bread sauce for 2 lots of 2 serves.

“I think I’ve overcloved”

You can never overclove. Cloves are the best bit

It will certainly clear your sinuses out! How is it??

Thirty. But I like cloves.

I'd stick to 4 - I like a small hit of clove, but too much is very antiseptic.

No idea. But I am highly jealous. I remember my mum's breadsauce . tomorrow I shall be eating tinned soup!!!

Delia said 15-18 so I went with 18, you can't have too much clove!

One. Can't stand them!!

One surely that wouldn't even add any flavour? I use about 20 - don't actually count them - just chuck them in with the milk & an onion & strain before adding the breadcrumbs.

Same. I love cloves and from what I've tasted it's not overpowering.

delia says 15 to 18

I put 6 in my onion and used about 700mls of milk. I think cloves woukd have been better but it should even out tomorrow when I add cream.
