DIY SIMMERING POTPOURRI GIFT AND PRINTABLE TAG

The recipe is a variation of my Homemade Stovetop Potpourri, but made to be easily gifted in a mason jar.

HOW TO MAKE A SIMMERING POTPOURRI GIFT

INGREDIENTS PER JAR: 3-4 Orange Slices 3-4 Apple Slices 1 Tablespoon Cloves 2 Cinnamon Sticks ¼ Cup Cranberries - dried or fresh (fresh looks more festive, dried will last longer)

Dry your fruit (instructions for drying your apples and oranges in the oven is included below).  Layer your oranges slices in the bottom of the mason jar.

Followed by your apples slices and topped with your cinnamon sticks. Sprinkle your cloves and cranberries over the top.

HOW TO DRY FRUIT IN THE OVEN FOR CHRISTMAS POTPOURRI AND CRAFTS

Pat the slices with a paper towel to remove excess moisture and place fruit on the baking sheet.

Curved Arrow

Bake for 3-4 hours until the slices are mostly dry to the touch, yet not all shriveled up and brown.
