DIY Simmer Pot Gift

Gather items for one or all of the simmer pot recipes below. To give as a gift, fill a cellophane gift bag with the contents and wrap a ribbon around it. I also used a small jar similar to this one to hold the cloves.  These also make great gifts for neighbors, delivery drivers, and co-workers.

Gingerbread House

2 cinnamon sticks (large)

  1/2 C. fresh grated ginger

1 Tbsp. vanilla

1/2 Tbsp cloves (whole)

Apple Pie

1 large apple-sliced

    2 cinnamon sticks (large)

     1 Tbsp. cloves (whole)

½ tsp. ginger

Cranberry Delight

1 C. fresh cranberries

   1 sliced orange (dry out with a dehydrator)

   2-3 cinnamon sticks

     1/2 Tbsp. cloves (whole)

1 tsp. nutmeg

1 or 2 sprigs of fresh rosemary

Directions

Fill your slow cooker with 15 cups of water and empty the contents of one of the above recipes. Set it to low and refill the water parodically when it gets low. Simple as that!

 Enjoy!

Simmer pots are a fun and easy way to add the holiday spirit to any home. Simply add the ingredients to a pot of water on the stove or to a slow cooker. Bring the ingredients to a boil and then turn down the heat to a slow simmer and let the aroma carry through the house. If using a pot on the stovetop, you’ll have to be more mindful of refilling the water as it gets low. A slow cooker will go a lot longer without needing to be refilled.
