I don’t know what it is but nothing smells better to me than fall. If you could bottle it up, this Fall Stovetop Potpourri is what I would imagine fall to smell like. It will make your home smell amazing and you can turn it into a happy fall gift too!
The idea is simple – you combine these spices on the stove in a saucepan and your home will smell amaaaaaazing in no time.
Fall Stovetop Potpourri
Ingredients
- 2 c. water
- ½ c. apple cider
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 tsp almond extract
- ½ tsp Pumpkin Pie Spice
- 1 tsp. Valencia Orange Peel (can use orange peel instead of or in addition to)
- 2 cinnamon sticks
Instructions
- Pour 2 c. water and ½ c. apple cider into a saucepan over low heat.
- Add additional ingredients and simmer over low heat.
- This can be on the stove for hours but if it gets low, add more water.
To give it as a gift, use a cellophane bag and a cute bottle. Attach my printable tag (below) with a pretty ribbon and deliver!
I wish there was smell-o-vision so that you could catch just how incredible this smells!

October 3, 2016 at 6:00 amDo you put the orange peel in the jar as well? It’s hard to see what’s in your bottle :)
Adrie says
October 3, 2016 at 6:02 amTo clarify-if you’re giving as a gift does it go right in the bottle?
Mique says
October 3, 2016 at 6:55 amIf you give it as a gift, you can add a whole orange to it and they’d peel the orange (or use the Orange Peel Spice). ;) And you put the wet ingredients in the bottle, dry ingredients in the baggie. They can just dump the whole thing in a sauce pan from the bag.
