Here’s a fun way to spread holiday cheer by making DIY Christmas stove top potpourri jar gifts! <\/em><\/p>\n Stove top simmering scents are such a cozy way to incorporate scents naturally in your home by heating the ingredients in a pot on the stove. If you have citrus that is starting to turn, this is a smart idea to utilize them too.<\/p>\n Today I’m sharing how you can make this on the stove for your home, and I’m also sharing how to compile DIY<\/a> stove top potpourri Christmas jar gifts to make for neighbors, family, or friends for the holidays! I even designed these FREE printable gift tags<\/a> for you to print and tie to your jars!<\/p>\n There are numerous fresh fruit and herb combinations to try, but today I am specifically sharing a beautiful Christmas scent featuring orange, rosemary, cinnamon<\/a>, clove, and star anise<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n All you have to do is slice the orange, place all the ingredients in a medium-sized pot on the stove with 4-6 cups of water, and let it simmer (not boil) for a few hours and up to a day with the lid off. It will smell so inviting and cozy once warmed up. I love the spicy and sweet aroma of cinnamon and citrus.<\/p>\n When you are making a Christmas simmer pot at home for yourself, feel free to improvise and throw in apple slices, pears, and other desired add-ins like ginger or vanilla. This is so versatile and can be changed up according to what you have on hand. I have a large rosemary bush at home, so I love utilizing that in simmer scents!<\/p>\n We have actually shared this exact simmer pot recipe years ago, but today I’m excited to reshare it as a cute gift idea. I just love mason jar gifts, and here’s an easy one that is so festive for Christmas!<\/p>\n Simply place ingredients into a jar and attach a gift tag to the outside. I think it looks so beautiful and these are always well-received as a thoughtful gift.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t 1<\/span><\/p>\n To a 16 oz. mason jar, add the cranberries, then stand up the cinnamon stick, add the whole cloves, anise, rosemary, and then the orange on the top. Close the lid.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 2<\/span><\/p>\n Use twine or ribbon to attach a gift tag.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n 3<\/span><\/p>\n To use:<\/strong> Slice the orange, and place all the ingredients in a medium-sized pot on the stove with 4-6 cups of water.
