Making your house smell like the holidays is easy and most likely you have the ingredients already (well, maybe). With only 4 ingredients, it’s a true dump and go recipe. Toss everything into a pot and let it simmer all day long. Your nose will thank me later! You will love this Stovetop Holiday Potpourri and it makes a great gift as well!

Let’s talk about how EASY it is to make this Holiday Potpourri…..

How to Make Stovetop Holiday Potpourri:

  • Get the 4 ingredients together: an orange, cranberries, cinnamon stick, and nutmeg.
    • I’ve also made this and added vanilla, cloves, or thyme, but the 4 ingredients version is my favorite combination.
  • Using a medium sauce pot, fill it halfway with water, then add the cranberries, sliced orange, a cinnamon stick, nutmeg, and give it a quick stir.

  • Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and simmer.
  • Simmer all day, adding water as needed to prevent burning. The house will smell amazing!

How long do the ingredients last?

  • I keep the same ingredients in the sauce pot up to 5 days. When I am not simmering it (like at night), I just cover it with saran wrap.
  • They will not be as visually appealing, but will still provide a delicious smell! Just dump in the trash when you are ready to switch them out!

Can I use other ingredients?

  • Yes! This is a great recipe to utilize older produce – don’t have oranges? Use lemons, grapefruits, tangerines, limes, or essentially any citrus fruit.
  • Try adding vanilla, cloves, pumpkin pie spice, or thyme for some other scents! A few drops of pine essential oil can be awesome as well!

How to give Stovetop Potpourri as a gift:

  • Round up the orange, cranberries, cinnamon stick, and nutmeg (or whatever spices you want). Add everything to a cellophane bag (like these), then tie it off with a ribbon or string, and attach a gift tag.
  • I am proving FOUR options as a FREE PRINTABLE TAG for you to use!
    • Print the tag on cardstock for a more durable tag, and punch a hole in the corner, then attach with string.

    I have a question…how do you dry out the ingredients to become the potpourri???

      No, you put them into the pot fresh as the directions says! It’s stovetop potpourri so it’s a simmering potpourri, not a dried potpourri

    What about in a small crockpot? Or small ovenproof dish set inside crockpot? Would alleviate the need to babysit it, but would a covered crockpot still give off enough scent?

      You could probably do it in the crockpot! I think it would still give off the scent since the crockpot usually fills the house with yummy food smells…you could also just open the lid of the crock pot once it’s been cooking for a while too. I only really add water once or twice a day when I keep it running all day, so don’t feel tied to babysitting it, but I know what you mean! let me know if you try it!
