Ingredients
1 orange
1 apple
1 cup fresh cranberries
3 cinnamon sticks
3–5 whole cloves
Water
Instructions
- Slice the orange and apple into rounds.
- Place the sliced orange and apple to a medium pot or sauce pan. Add the cranberries, cinnamon sticks, and cloves.
- Pour enough water into the pot to just almost cover the ingredients in the pot.
- Heat the potpourri over low heat on a back burner. Simmer on low heat for up to 3 hours, adding more water as the water gets low.
Important tip: Check the simmering potpourri often to keep the water level up. If all of the water evaporates and is not replaced, the potpourri will burn.
