MK Life Tips: Fall Potpourri Recipes for Your Home

One of the best ways you can make your home warm and cozy is with potpourri. There isn’t much better than walking into your home when it smells like cinnamon and spice. Below, thanks to Clean and Scentsible, I have curated a few potpourri recipes that will fill your home with a heavenly scent.

PUMPKIN SPICE POTPOURRI

2 cups apple cider or apple juice {you could always use water too}

1/2 cup canned pumpkin

3-4 cinnamon sticks

1 tbsp. whole cloves

1 tbsp. pumpkin pie spice

1 tbsp. vanilla extract

1/2 an apple or dried apple slices

APPLE PIE POTPOURRI

1 small apple thinly sliced

2 cups liquid {apple cider, apple juice, or water}

1 tbsp. whole cloves

3-4 cinnamon sticks

1 tbsp. nutmeg

For both recipes, add all of the ingredients to a small sauce pan and stir.  Bring to a gentle boil and then reduce heat to low. Continuously add more liquid {either cider or water} as needed and do not allow to dry up. Stir it up about once an hour to get the scent going.  You can also use a crockpot for the potpourri instead of the stove top method although you may need to increase the recipe size depending on the size of your crockpot.  You can also use a small dip-sized crockpot; however, the scent may not be as strong.
