Categories: Not for Humans- Potpourri
Ingredients
- 4 oranges
- 4 lemons
- 1/2 cup whole cloves
- 1/2 cup whole allspice
- 10 cinnamon sticks, broken
- 10 bay leaves, crumbles
- 4 Kerr 8oz. Decorated Jelly Jars with bands and lids
Directions
- Using a vegetable peeler, peel oranges and lemons, being careful to remove only peel and not white pith. Cut or tear peel into 1-inch pieces. Spread peel on a paper towel lined pan. Place in preheated oven at 175 degrees F. or set oven to WARM. Dry in oven for 1 1 1/2 hours, tossing occasionally. Peels should be leathery and/or slightly crunchy. Spread peels on new paper toweling and let air dry for 24 hours.
- Combine dried peels with remaining ingredients. Fill jars with mixture. Place lids on jars and screw bands on firmly.
- A bit of ribbon, and a square of fabric cut with pinking shears will make a cute decoration if you wish to gift it.
