The season of scented candles, freshly cut trees, warm cookies, and chestnuts roasting on an open fire has begun! While crushed candy cane and vanilla bean frosting scents might sound scrumptious and inviting, nothing beats the scents of ingredients like cinnamon sticks, apple peels, orange rinds, cloves, anise, vanilla, and nutmeg boiling together in your kitchen pot and having that aroma spread and fill your household. <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

How to Create a Simmer Pot:<\/u><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Fill a small saucepan with water and bring to a boil. Add the ingredients from your favorite recipe, continue to boil for a few minutes, then turn the heat down to simmer. Add water as needed, usually every 30 minutes or so.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You can also use a Crock-Pot or other slow cooker to create a simmer pot: Fill the pot most of the way with water, add your ingredients, put on the lid, then turn the slow cooker to high. When there\u2019s steam rolling off the lid, take the lid off and set the slow cooker to a low or simmer setting. Add water as needed to keep it at least halfway full.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

These recipes below can be remixed to your taste or your pantry. It\u2019s ok to leave ingredients out, go heavy-handed with the scents you like, or substitute things in the recipe for other flavors you like better (or to suit what you have on hand).<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
