Fall Simmer Pot Recipe - Homemade Potpourri

One way to keep your home smelling good this Thanksgiving (and Christmas) season is with a Simmer Pot. A simmer pot takes natural ingredients and warms them on the stove releasing a combination of scents into the air making your home smell warm and inviting to guests.

Hostess Tips and Tricks

Because I am a terrible host, I put together our Hosting Tips and Tricks post. You guys must know the struggle is real, because you guys have pinned this post like crazy! If you are hosting a holiday gathering this fall, I suggest you take on some of these tips and tricks. A Fall Simmer Pot would be an excellent way to make your home smell inviting even if the outdoors temperature is 80 degrees and there isn’t a sign of snow on the ground.

Save this Hosting Tips post to your Party, Thanksgiving and Christmas Pinterest Boards.

Friendsgiving

This year might be the first Thanksgiving, in my almost 40 years of life, we are not with family.  In fact, I will spend a good chuck of it flying my girls back and forth from Florida to Virginia, only to not celebrate with them. I am not looking forward to it. This Thanksgiving is our first ever Friendsgiving – time with friends and giving thanks for the “family” we have 1,000 miles away from family by blood.

What is Friendsgiving?

Friendsgiving is not that old. It originated in 2009. It is a celebration of Thanksgiving among friends when you can’t be around family (or chose not to be) for the holidays.

We have the perfect post to get you started – Friendsgiving Thanksgiving Ideas with Friends. Share and Pin to your Thanksgiving Pinterest Board and grab ideas when you gather with friends!

This Fall Simmer Pot Recipe would be perfect for your stovetop if you are hosting!

Fall Simmer Pot Recipe Ingredients

The prep time for this simmer pot is only 5 minutes.

  • 1 orange, cut into chunks
  • 1 apple, cut into chunks
  • 1 sprig rosemary
  • 3 cinnamon sticks (This is a great price per stick!)
  • Water

Another suggestion is to keep the apple whole and press cloves into the apple. The cloves would replace the cinnamon sticks. Amazon also sells cinnamon essential oil and clove essential oil if you would prefer to add oils instead of the actual product. I think the product looks so beautiful so it would be something I would keep, but I wanted to give you the option.

You can use any pot to simmer that holds your ingredients but I fell in love with this discounted cooper simmer pot, isn’t it beautiful!?

What is Elf on the Shelf?

Elf on the Shelf is a Christmas Tradition. The tradition has a book and a elf doll. The book is poetic and in rhyme sharing the purpose of the Elf’s visits. The Elf visits each Thanksgiving. He/She goes and returns from the North Pole each evening. Every morning he can be found in a new location in the house. The Elf has been found in the refrigerator, fishing in the toilet, writing messages on the mirror or hanging from the lights. It is VERY IMPORTANT, the Elf is not touch each evening or his Christmas magic will be lost! Each family is able to name their special elf. The elves return to their home (Santa’s North Pole Work shop) every Christmas Eve. An Elf’s Story can also be found on DVD.
