Simmer Pot
This months’ recipe is a little different - rather than sharing an edible recipe, I wanted to share one of my favorite ways to make the home smell good during the winter months - a simmer pot.
Simmer pots are such a simple and natural way to elevate any holiday gathering. An added perk is that there are no synthetic fragrances or chemicals involved!
INGREDIENTS
For this simmer pot I used the following, but you can use whatever mixture of fruit and spices you like:
2 oranges, sliced into ½” thick rounds
1/2 cup of cranberries
2 cinnamon sticks
4-5 cups of water
Some other combos to consider:
Lemon and apple slices, cinnamon sticks and bay leaves
Orange and apple slices, cranberries and cloves
Lemon slices, lime slices and fresh rosemary
INSTRUCTIONS
Combine all ingredients in a large pot. Bring this mixture to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. If needed, add more water throughout the day.
