Stove Top Christmas Potpourri

Christmas smells are some of my favorite.  How about you?  The smell of a fresh Christmas tree or wreath, or if you’re like me, the smell of a Christmas Yankee Candle…any of them.  But alas!  Our Christmas tree is artificial and I was bummed to discover my Yankee Candle was all gone this year. 🙁

So, I used my back-up.  Good old stove top Christmas Potpourri.  Brings back memories.  This is the same recipe my mom used and it’s SO EASY.

Ingredients:

• 3 or 4 thin slices of an orange (with peel)
• 2 or 3 thin slices of a lemon (with peel)
• 2 cinnamon sticks
• 10 cloves
• water (enough to cover)

Simply place all your ingredients into the pot,

bring it to a boil, then turn down the heat a bit and let it simmer! (I wish you could smell it through the computer.)  A crockpot also works well.

I promise your whole house will smell like Christmas!  I just LOVE it.  And there’s no need to make a fresh pot each day.  I use mine for 4 or 5 days, continuing to add more water as needed.  When I’m done with the old batch, I dump it down the garbage disposal, turn it on, and it makes the sink smell good, too!

Try some stove top potpourri this year.  You’ll be hooked! 🙂

Merry Christmas
