DIY CHRISTMAS STOVETOP SIMMER

If you love the smells of Christmas, this DIY Christmas Stovetop Potpourri is perfect! A mix of cranberries, orange slices, cinnamon and all kinds of Christmasy spices, your house will smell amazing! And it’s perfect to put together as a DIY mason jar gift! 

You can find lots of different versions of this recipe, and I tweaked it to have some of my favorite smells. The great thing about a potpourri like this is that if the scent it too strong, you can mellow it out by adding a little more water. If it’s not strong enough, you can sprinkle in some more spices, essential oil or add some more cinnamon sticks.

Ingredients

1/2 cup of cranberries (more if you want)

2 clementine's

1 tbsp of whole cloves

1/4 tsp of nutmeg

1/4 tsp of allspice

1/4 of ginger

3 cinnamon sticks

2 -3 sprigs of fresh pine or rosemary

1 tsp vanilla (optional)

The kinds and amounts of spices are totally adaptable, use essential oils too but this is a nice mix of aromas.
