Have you heard of simmering pots? They are a super simple way to scent your home without the chemicals of sprays and store-bought fragrances. They also make great gifts too! I like to gift mason jar simmer pots to family and friends over the holidays, they always love to receive them! Here is a super simple fall simmer pot recipe, this smells amazing and it’s SO easy!
Fall Potpourri Simmering Pot
Simmering Pot Ingredients:
- orange slices
- cinnamon sticks
- whole cloves
- apple peels
Simmer Pot Instructions:
Combine your ingredients in a mason jar-you can use whatever quantities you have on hand-I promise it will still make your home smell fantastic! I used one thinly sliced orange, the peel from one apple, one cinnamon stick, and one tablespoon of whole cloves.
Fill the mason jar to the top with water-it will keep in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks. I tied a little bow on mine to give as a gift.
How to Use a Simmering Pot
To use your simmer pot, simply pour the mixture in a pot and heat on low on your stove throughout the day. Make sure you keep an eye on it and add more water as needed. You can also put these in a crockpot on high. I like to use the crockpot method when entertaining because it’s an easy way to have the house smell amazing without having to keep an eye on the stove the entire time.

Ohmygoodness…it smells heavenly, I had it going all day yesterday in my house and my boys kept asking me if I was making “sweet treats” for them! (For another version of a fall simmering recipe check out this Autumn Cinnamon Clove Simmering Pot Recipe!)
