As promised...

Here's the full recipe for my Stove Top Potpourri.

  • One granny smith apple, sliced and cored
  • 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1/2 tsp ground nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp ground cloves
  • 2 cups water
1.  Bring water to a boil.
2.  Add dry ingredients.
3.  Add apple slices one at a time to help incorporate spices.
4.  Continue boiling for 1 minute.
5.  Reduce heat and simmer.
6.  Check water level in pan periodically throughout the day, adding more as necessary. 

As I mentioned in my blog post, there are several online recipes for fall (and holiday!) stove top potpourri.  I adapted mine oh-so-slightly from one I found in this article entitled, "Fall Decorating on a Budget."  I've also found great-looking variations that use cranberries, orange peels, and other yummy scents.  So if this one doesn't fit your style, spend a few minutes online to find one that hits the mark.

I love this recipe because I know exactly what's in the potpourri and, as important, what's not in it, and I'm not at all worried about my little guy enjoying the scent of his mommy's concoction. :)
