**This recipe is a nice accent to your home as the holidays are approaching. The scent is essentially an all natural potpourri. I even put the ingredients in an attractive gift bag with the recipe included and give them as gifts to friends and neighbors.
½ sliced apple
½ sliced lemon
½ sliced orange
1 quart of water
1 bay leaf
½ Tablespoon whole cloves
2-3 cinnamon sticks
In a slow-cooker, combine the fruit. Cover in water. Top with bay leaves, whole cloves, and cinnamon sticks. Leave slow-cooker on low. I use a small 1.5 quart slow cooker and it works perfect.
You can also simmer this on the stovetop on low. Be sure to watch it closely and add water as needed. I once ruined a pan because I left it unattended for too long.
Note: Cinnamon sticks can be expensive. Try looking for them on the Mexican isle of your grocery store, some dollar stores, or at World Market.
