Holiday Simmer Pot - Festive Fragrant Home the Easy Way
Let's take the classic way to fragrance your home during the holidays and move your simmer pot to a crock pot…no stove babysitting here!
Equipment
- Small to Medium Crock Pot I use a 2qt crock pot
Ingredients
- 1 Large Apple (or 1-2 small apples)
- 1 Large Orange (or 2-3 small oranges)
- ½-1 cup Fresh Cranberries
- 10-15 Whole Cloves
- 3-5 Cinnamon Sticks
- Water
Instructions
- Cut your desired amount of apples and oranges into slices.
- Put the cut fruit, cranberries, and desired amount of cloves and cinnamon sticks into your crock pot.
- If you are using a larger crock pot than 2qt, you will want to double the amount of ingredients.
- Fill your crock pot to the top with water.
- Turn on high to warm the fruit, spices, and water until hot and fragrant.
- Remove the lid and keep on low for as long as you want the smell in your home.
- Refill with water when it gets low. I run my pot for 3 days at least. Turn off at night.
- Add in more spices or ingredients, if needed, for stronger smell on later days.
- Enjoy!
