What does Christmas smell like to you?  To me, it's cinnamon.  Today, I'm going to share with you a potpourri recipe to simmer on your stovetop.  This is also a quick and easy hostess gift that you can package in a nice small jar or cello bag with ribbon and a nice handwritten label with the recipe and directions. 

Christmas Potpourri
An original My Cupboard Love recipe

2 cinnamon sticks
2 tsp whole cloves
1/2 whole nutmeg
1 slice of orange, dried
2 star anise
1 bay leaf
1/4 tsp ground allspice

To dry orange slices,  preheat oven to 175 degrees.  Slice orange quite thin and place on parchment paper lined baking tray.  Allow to dry in oven, approximately 8 hours. 


Place all ingredients in pot and add 2 cups of water.  Simmer over low heat.  Keep adding water as necessary.  Don't forget about it!  This mixture can be used for three days before discarding.
