Seasonal Pot Potpouri 

Picture
Citrus is in season and even thought the holidays are over, I am still loving the rich and fragrant smells of apple and citrus. One of my favorite things to do is make potpourri in my slow cooker. This is a batch that I made during the holidays. It is a terrific way to neutralize cooking odors as well as natural air freshening. I am pretty sure that there are a number of different ways to do this, but here is what I like to do. My measurements are not exact because I tend to use what is on hand. This is especially good for times when you may have an abundance of produce that you may not get to eat.

Jaye Tee's Potpourri

Ingredients:

  • Allspice berries (You can omitt if you do not have any)
  • 1-2 Cinnamon sticks
  • Apple slices from 1-2 apples
  • Citrus Peel. We had a ton of mandarin oranges from our neighbor, so that is what we used. (I also threw in a couple whole oranges.
  • Ground nutmeg 
  • Bay leaf
  • Water to cover the contents of the slow-cooker.

Directions: 

Place everything in your slow-cooker and cook on low. You may start this on high and then reduce to low if you are in a rush to smell the fragrance.  I found that using the slow-cooker liners makes things super easy to clean up afterwards.

Oranges from the neighbor. This is just a fraction of what we were given. Fresh organic deliciousness picked just for us! Do you make any type of air freshener? I would love to hear what others do.
