Fall Simmer Pot Recipes

Our Fall Simmer Pot Recipes naturally add fragrance to your home without chemicals. You can use fresh produce or even use produce scraps to reduce waste.

There's nothing more comforting than the scents of fall. Aside from pumpkin spice, our favorite fall scents and flavors are the warmness of cinnamon, clove, ginger, nutmeg, star anise, vanilla, apples, and even oranges.

Simmer Pot Recipe
Candles, air fresheners, and even essential oils can cause issues for some. We tend to stick to natural ways to add smell to our home, whether we're baking some muffins, cookies, or setting up our simmer pot.
Simmer Pots naturally add fragrance to your home and are especially great for those with small children, pets, or those with sensitivities to scents. 

What's in the orange simmer pot?

ORANGE PEEL OR CUT ORANGE Our orange cinnamon simmer pot is a great way to use any leftover orange peels. We love saving them for simmer pots and you could also save other citrus peels like lemon, lime, and even grapefruit. 
CLOVES - We use the whole clove and it really brings that fall scent.
CINNAMON - This spice is a must for fall, it's always in our fall simmer pots.
GINGER - Adds a sharp peppery almost woody and lemon smell. It is very aromatic and blends with all the other warm ingredients. 

APPLE CINNAMON SIMMER POT

What's in the apple simmer pot?

APPLES - You can use fresh apples or as we mentioned in our recipe video this is a great way to use any apple scrapes, the core, skin from peeling, etc.
VANILLA - This adds warmness and a slight floral scent.
STAR ANISE - This has a slight licorice scent, some love it some hate it. If you don't like it we suggest leaving it out. 
NUTMEG - This is a strong spice so a little goes a long way!
CINNAMON - This spice is a must for fall, it's always in our fall simmer pots.
GINGER - Adds a sharp peppery almost woody and lemon smell. It is very aromatic and blends with all the other warm ingredients.

A simmer pot is good for 2-3 days, we just refrigerate the contents overnight and reuse them the next morning.

I love doing this as I am allergic to scented candles

[assass]

People do this because it's a healthier alternative to candles which have chemicals in their scents. I might try it soon, it's cost effective right? Since you mostly use left overs/scraps of fruits and spices?

Suggestion: if you chop the ginger in half or in quarters, it will smell stronger

If you are going to use it again for day 2. Do you leave it on the stove and cover it up or do you put it in the fridge since it is food?
