Fall Time Simmer Pots

I know we have a lot of summer fans on the boards, but, even with your dismay of summer being over, it’s hard to be upset for too long about the passing of the seasons: that’s what they're supposed to do! If you're just not in the frame of mind or mood for the fall yet, here are a couple sweet scents that may get you there. I love simmer pot recipes. They're so simple, heavenly, and chemical free! Here are two different early fall simmer pot ideas. All you need to do is put them in a pot with some water and simmer them on low while at home (keeping an eye on the pot to know when to add more water). You can do the same this with your crockpot, too. Just put the crockpot on low with water and your simmer pot ingredients, leaving the lid off to let the scents escape. 

Our first is an orange spice simmer recipe, just combine the following:
- 1 or 2 Oranges Sliced
- 3 Cinnamon Sticks
- 1 tablespoon of Whole Cloves
- Apple peels

For a different twist, here’s a cinnamon clove simmer pot recipe:
- 4 Cinnamon Sticks
- 5 Anise Stars
- 1 Tablespoon of Whole Cloves
- 1 Sliced up Apple

Let either one simmer and fill your home with their delicious scent. It'll be hard not getting into the fall time spirit!
