How to Make Stovetop Potpourri

This is what you’ll need for this recipe:

1 ½ Cup Fresh Cranberries
1 Lemon
1 Grapefruit
1 Apple
2-3 Cinnamon Sticks
1 Tbsp Vanilla
3-4 small Pine Tree Branches
Water

Making homemade potpourri on the stove is so easy. Start by cutting the lemon, grapefruit, and apple into slices.

Next, place all of the ingredients into a medium size saucepan and fill the pot with water.

Doesn’t it look beautiful already?! One of our favorite things to do during the fall and winter seasons is to make homemade potpourri with a variety of natural scents.

Finally, place your pot on the burner and bring it to a slow boil.

Once it gets to a boil then turn it down to low and let your potpourri simmer. Make sure to check it every few hours and add more water when you need it. Turn off the burner when you’re all done.
