Simmering potpourri is one of my favorites this time of year! It quickly adds a nice fragrance and refreshes a stale room while adding moisture to the air. APPLE SIMMER 1/4 cup diced apple (or apple peel left from that pie!) 1/3 cup allspice 1/3 cup star anise 6-8 bay leaves 1/2 cup cinnamon chips or broken sticks 1/4 cup ginger root, dried pieces 1/2 cup dried orange peel 1/4 cup cloves Mix all ingredients except the apple. Add 2-3 tablespoons of the mixture and your apple dices to a non reactive pot and add 1-2 cups of water. Simmer over low heat or on top of the wood stove adding more water as needed. Store the dried ingredients in a closed container for future use.
