Apple potpourri

4 Servings

Ingredients

QuantityIngredient
1cupDried apple slices
2tablespoonsGround cinnamon
¼cupWhole allspice berries
10Cinnamon; (2\") sticks
2tablespoonsWhole cloves
¼cupCanella or nandina berries
10smallsPinecones
7dropsCinnamon oil

Directions

Combine all ingredients and place in a tight jar or tin. Shake every few days. Cinnamon oil has an extremely strong scent that intensifies as it is absorbed. Add additional oil if needed.

The red sumac berries that grow wild can be used dried as a stablizer for potpourri (in other recipes it takes the place of orris root which is very expensive). I used sumac berries instead of nandina berries in this recipe.
