  When I click on the green “how to make your own christmas potpourie” link, I get a warning from McAfee saying its a risky site. So of course I didn’t open it. Is it possible to get the recipe to me another way. I don’t know if this is a fluke thing or if there is a problem with the site.
  Thanks

    I’m not getting any warnings at all. I think McAfee is super sensitive, here is the website that goes directly to the recipe: http://www.mindypiercephotography.com/its-officially-christmas-season/ I would reply with the recipe but I don’t want to infringe on any copy rights.

  This is a cute idea! I do this often when my children eat an orange or tangerine…I throw the peels into a pan with a cinnamon stick on the stove and let it simmer….smells so wonderful in my home! Enjoy the smell year round as you consume oranges!

    I do the same thing! My mom always did that when I was a kid and I associate the smell so much with home. You can also do this in a small crockpot to avoid leaving the stove on all day.

  Would this work with just the orange peels? I give out free samples at a local grocery and we are sampling clementines this weekend so I could save a whole bunch of peels. I am thinking of making some for all my tenants and other family members too.

    I just found another recipe for this that uses the orange peels…just let them dry out!

  Limes can be pretty expensive, at least where I live. I think instead I would sub in a small apple. My mom always used apples with the oranges and cloves and cinnamon.

  Great idea! I think this would make a great hostess gift as well.

  I got this from a friend last year and loved it. It made our house smell wonderful, I could re-use it all holiday season, and it didn’t make me any fatter! 🙂
