Simmering Apple Potpourri (3 Ways)
- 3 cups water (or enough to cover the fruit and spices)
- 1 cup orange juice
- 2 oranges cut into wedges or 1 cup dried orange peel or 2 cups fresh orange peel
- ¼ cup grated or thinly sliced fresh ginger or 2 Tbs. dried ground ginger
- 1 quart water (or enough to cover the fruit and spices)
- 2 apples cut into slices or 1 cup dried apple peel or 2 cups fresh peels and/or cores, organic if possible
- 6 cinnamon sticks
- 2 Tbs. whole cloves or 1½ Tbs. ground cloves (I think whole have a stronger scent and I love these cloves)
- Combine all of the ingredients together in a saucepan or crockpot and heat on low. Adjust measurements to your preference
- Add more liquid as needed as it evaporates.
- Discard after awhile if the mix starts to smell or look "off." I've never done one for more than a week.
