Apple Potpourri

• 1 cup dried apple slices
• 2 tbsp. ground cinnamon
• 1/4 cup whole allspice berries
• 10 2″ cinnamon sticks
• 2 tbsp. whole cloves
• 1/4 cup canella or nandina berries
• 10 small pinecones
• 7 drops cinnamon 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, replacing the orris root which can be very expensive.
