This is a fun homemade gift that anyone would love to receive.  I think these would be great gifts for neighbors, co-workers, teachers, or hostess gifts.  Who wouldn’t enjoy the sweet smell of christmas in their home?

Here are the ingredients you need per jar:

  • 1 small orange
  • 1/2 cup cranberries
  • 2 cinnamon sticks
  • 1 TBSP whole cloves
  • 1/8 tsp of ground nutmeg
  • 2-3 sprigs of fresh rosemary
  • 1 wide mouth mason jar
  • ribbon, mesh, or fabric

Christmas Potpourri ingredients

To assemble the Christmas Potpourri gifts, add the following ingredients into the mason jar:  one whole orange, cranberries, cinnamon sticks, cloves, nutmeg, and rosemary.

Christmas Potpourri Jars

Add the lid onto the jar and then dress it up with mesh or fabric and tie it off with ribbon.  Attach tag with instructions.

Christmas Potpourri simmer on stovetop

When ready to use, simply slice orange, then add all  the contents of the jar into a small saucepan.  Add 3 cups of water and simmer uncovered on low heat.  Check water level occasionally to make sure it does not get to low.   Enjoy the sweet scents of Christmas in your home.

    What size mason jar do you use for this? Pint wide mouth?

    I used pint size wide mouth jars and fresh mandarin oranges. I’m making for gifts and have a batch simmering and it smells amazing!!!

    After this is assembled in the jar should it be refrigerated until ready to use and how long will it keep its freshness?

I am a mom to 5 kids, living in the PNW. I believe that being thrifty doesn’t necessarily mean going without. If we are smart about the little things, we can often find the time and resources to enjoy the bigger things. I share a variety of deals, recipes, crafts, DIY projects, travel ideas and more.
