Simple Holiday Potpourri

That wonderful Holiday Season is upon us once again!  Doesn't it seem like we just put away the dishes from
Thanksgiving?  Maybe you're already busy with the preparations...pulling out the old family recipes, getting the decorations from the attic, or making that all important list and checking it twice, so I won't keep you.  I just wanted to be among the first to wish you and your family the happiest of Holiday Greetings.

I have included a favorite family recipe that brings the delightful scent of the season into your home.  I hope it becomes your favorite, too!

Simple Holiday Potpourri

1/4 lemon
1/4 orange
3 cinnamon sticks
3 bay leaves
1/2 cup whole cloves
1 qt. water

Combine all ingredients in saucepan and bring to a boil.  Reduce heat and simmer as long as desired.  Be sure to check often, adding water as needed.  Mixture may be stored in the refrigerator several days and reused.  Your home will smell great!
