Notes
This recipe is extremely versatile! It can be incredibly frugal if you use what you have on hand — such as apple cores, orange peels, and/or fruit going bad.
Or you can fancy it up with cranberries, lemons, pine sprigs, or whatever scents you enjoy!
You can also make this recipe in a small crockpot set on low for several hours — perfect for if you will be gone, or away from the kitchen for any period of time.
