Ingredients

Dried Orange Slices
Ginger Root chunks
Cinnamon Sticks
Whole Cloves
Whole Allspice

You will also need your choice of Mason Jars and some raffia for the jar lid.

You don't need any precise measurements for this recipe.

It's really just about layering each of the ingredients until you get to the top.

I always start with 3-4 orange slices, then add a few pieces of ginger root,

then the cinnamon sticks, cloves and allspice.

I also add either a hangtag to the back, or a sticker to the bottom with directions for simmering.

They can be added to a simmering potpourri pot, or to an old pot on the hob

Notice I don't add any fragrance oil to this recipe; it's all natural so it can't hurt the pan used for simmering.

The ingredients just need to be covered with water and simmer on low--remembering to always

check the water level! The smell is fabulous. Perfect for fall.

Note: I don't always dry my own orange slices.
