Need a last minute gift idea that won’t break the bank, or perhaps something to make your house feel a little extra merry this holiday season. Stovetop potpourri is one of my favorite smells! Especially because it can be made easily, reused a couple of times and simply made up for gifting too.
The combination of oranges, cranberries, nutmeg and cinnamon sticks just feels like Christmas. Simmer on low for a couple of hours and your home will feel so cozy and inviting. The smell lingers for hours afterwards too!
My favorite part about this potpourri recipe is that my husband dosen’t mind it at all. He’s usually super picky about smelly things in our home, and hates air freshners.
INGREDIENTS FOR STOVE TOP POTPOURRI:
This is what I include in every jar but you can add ingredients based on your own individual taste.
- Fresh cranberries
- Orange slices or Clemenines
- Cinnamon sticks
- Cloves
- Nutmeg
- Water
- Pine Branches
HOW TO:
Did I mention how easy this was to make? SO EASY!
- Combine the oranges, cranberries, cinnamon, cloves and nutmeg in a mason jar.
- Add a sprig of fresh pine or rosemary and close with lid.
- Make a cute card and tie a bow for gift giving.
- Make sure to tell the recipient to pour into a pot, add more water and enjoy!
Each jar can be used multiple times – just add more water and heat again when you want to enjoy the aroma again.
