Allowing fruits, herbs and plants to simmer in water at a high heat releases their natural fragrances. And those fragrances will waft through your home. 

During the Fall, it’s so comforting to smell the delicious smell that’s reminiscent of apple pie while you’re curled up on the couch watching TV or working on chores.

The key to making a great Crock Pot potpourri is to cut some of the ingredients into small chunks. This allows for more surface area to release the fragrance.

Do not peel the fruits, though. A lot of the natural fragrance can be found in the peels, skins and rinds of fruit.

The rosemary and cinnamon sticks can be broken up into smaller pieces, if you’d like. However, it’s not as necessary, since the natural fragrance of these herbs and spices are so potent that they are strong while simmering.

Be sure to Pin this recipe on a potpourri or Fall board so that you can remember it!
