Apple Potpourri
What you will need:
1 c. dried apple slices
2 tbsp. ground cinnamon
1/4 c. whole allspice berries
10 (2") cinnamon sticks
2 tbsp. whole cloves
1/4 c. canella or nandina berries
10 sm. pinecones
7 drops cinnamon oil
Method:
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
stabilizer for potpourri (in other recipes it takes the place of
orris root which is very expensive).
