Potpourri for the Holidays

I know it is early but found this today when I was going thru Primitive holiday ideas. I have a small crock pot that I am going to get out and use instead of placing a pot on the stove.

STOVE TOP POTPOURRI..................

1/2 CUP FRESH CRANBERRIES

1 ORANGE SLICED

4 CINNAMON STICKS, BROKEN IN HALF

1 TABLESPOON CLOVES

1/8 TEASPOON NUTMEG

2-3 CUPS WATER

COMBINE ingredients in small pot and simmer on low heat on stove for as long as desired. Add more water to mixture as water gets low.

I have holiday sprays but I have to be very careful to be sure the paws are not in the room until the oil from the scent has settled......it gets them sneezing so I am thinking this will work much better.

I have two small crock pots for things like this, but neither one of them gets hot enough to disperse much aroma.

Just a thought you might bring it to a gentle boil on the stove first and then add it to your crock pot........now my tiny cock pot is for cooking food so hopefully I should have no trouble.

My house smells like pumpkin spice also.......I change from apple cider to pumpkin spice.......love the smell.

I'll try the boiling but I don't hold out much hope. Both of mine are real crock pots meant for food, too.  Now my big one -- it cooks too hot even on low!
