I'm afraid you are talking about an SCA game only. There is no evidence
of cloved fruit being used this way in period. The story of the first
cloved fruit in the SCA (and the apology of the inventor) can be found in
this file in the ENTERTAINMENT section of my Florilegium:
cloved-fruit-msg  (13K)  9/29/99    Period cloved fruit. Origin of the SCA game.
