Instructions

  1. For Simmering Spices/Potpourri
  2. Simply slice, snip, fill and toss in your desired ingredients into a small pot. Fill pot with water (or expired apple juice or orange juice) and bring to a simmer on the stovetop (or in a mini-crockpot). Replenish water as it evaporates. Do not leave unattended.

Assemble for Gifting

  1. In a cellophane bag, place the larger fruit items first (whole, not sliced) followed by the spices.
  2. Wrap with pretty ribbon or twine and tag giving instructions on how to simmer.
  3. That's it! Change it up as you like, let me know what you put into your fall simmering spices! Love these, try my Christmas Simmering Spices as well!

Notes

  • TIP | Be creative, I didn't have oranges this time, so they aren't in there, I did however; have some expired apple cider and I that as part of my liquid.
  • TIP | There is no way right now I am going to toss a super expensive vanilla bean pod into a simmering pot, but if you want, please do! But if they were cheap or I had an old dried out one, I would have tossed it in.
