country roads potpourri recipe
autumn scent sensation
Simmer this autumn-scented potpourri in a pan of hot water on the stove, add it to pillows and sachets, or set it out in a pretty dish or bowl.

2 cups dried apple slices
1 cup each bay leaves and sage
½ cup each chopped, unpeeled ginger root and whole cloves
8 1-inch cinnamon sticks

Combine dry ingredients in a large non-reactive bowl. Add the essential oil and stir. Scoop the potpourri mixture into glass jars with lids. Seal and store in a dark place for 4-6 weeks, turning or shaking once each day.
