This Crockpot Fall Simmer Pot recipe is just the thing you need to bring the aroma of fall into your home today.
It only takes about 5 minutes to put together your own homemade potpourri, that is the perfect combination of sweet and spicy too.
I used to love to make my own stovetop potpourri when my kids were young.
They say that scent is closely related to memory. I hope that when my kids smell anything that resembles this homemade simmer pot recipe, it will bring up nothing but warm memories of home.
I would put everything into a pot with some water, and just keep the fall simmer pot going all day long.
It is a great replacement for scented candles for a couple of reasons.
First, it is a very frugal way to bring the scent of the autumn season indoors.
And those candles are known to contain a lot of chemical ingredients that aren’t all that good for us.
What Do You Need to Make Your Potpourri
- 1 orange, cut into chunks
- 1 apple, cut into chunks
- 1 sprig rosemary
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- Water
What else can I add to my fall simmer pot?
