Ingredients
- 1 1/2 cups fresh cranberries (OR 1/2 cup dried cranberries)
- 2 -3 cinnamon sticks (crushed)
- 1 -2 star ansie (optional)
- 1 tablespoon cardamom (crushed)
- 2 teaspoons whole cloves
- 1/4 cup candied ginger
- 1 vanilla bean (halved lengthwise)
- 1 fresh pine (or 1 sprig rosemary)
- 1 cup Satsuma or tangerine (OR 1/3 candied orange peel)
Steps
-
Combine all the ingredients except the orange in a burlap bag or glass jar. If using a jar, add the orange and seal the jar. If using a burlap bag, tie the sack shut and then tie the orange onto the outside of the sack. You can also just place the orange inside the sack. Decorate as desired.
-
If using fresh cranberries and oranges, gift the potpourri within 2-3 days of making and keep stored in the fridge. If you use all dried fruits, the potpourri can be stored at room temperature for up to a month.
-
To make the Potpourri, add the contents of your bag (or jar) to a medium size pot. Add water until it comes 3/4 the way up the pot. Simmer on the stove over low heat, adding water every so often to keep it from drying up.
