Spiced Orange Potpourri (Non-Food) image

Instead of throwing out your orange peels, put them to good use in your crock pot! I love how this mixture of orange peels and spices fills my home with a warm, inviting aroma. Making your own potpourri can't get any easier than this! Even better--it's non-toxic!

Time 8h5m

Yield 1 crock pot

Number Of Ingredients 6

3 oranges, peels of
6 cloves, whole
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon, ground (or 1/2 cinnamon stick)
1/4 teaspoon ginger, ground (or 1/2-inch nub, grated)
1/4 teaspoon nutmeg, ground (or freshly ground)
1 cup water

Steps:

  • Into a small crock pot, place orange peels, cloves, cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg.
  • Pour water over all.
  • Set on low heat for the entire day, checking the water level periodically to prevent burning.
  • You can even enjoy it for one more day if you like. Just place the cooled mixture into a container, refrigerate and reheat another day (which is what I do often).
