Simmering Potpourri Recipe

Here is a very simple way to scent your home. In Pilgrim and Pioneer days there were no Glade scent products or aerosol sprays so they had to use what was available.
Orange Cinnamon Clove Simmering Potpourri
Add orange peels, cinnamon sticks, and whole Cloves to a pot of boiling water, reduce heat and, and simmer gently on your stove.
Make sure to set your kitchen timer for 30 min. at a time so you can check the water level in your pot. Add water as necessary.
Your potpourri mixture can be saved and stored in your refigerator for up to one week.
Always make sure you potpourri is turned off before leaving your home.
