Add apple and orange slices to your wide mouth jar, arrange them around the outside to create a pretty display.
Add in cinnamon sticks, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla. If you like a stronger scent you might add a Tablespoon or so of clove to add a bit of spice.
Finally, top the jar with water up to the shoulder.
Place the jar in the fridge until ready to use, it should be good for 3-5 days refrigerated.
To Use:
Pour contents of jar into a pot and simmer over low.
Once I begin a batch in a pot I turn it on for an hour or so, I can reuse it and get a good scent for about 2-3 days depending on how long it is simmered each time. Cover with a lid when not in use.
If you will be gifting your stovetop potpourri add a pretty bow and a handmade tag.
