Merry Christmas Eve!
I come to you with a last minute gift idea. Not an original one at all, but one that I'd never thought of until I saw it gifted to a friend!
Simmer pot ingredients!!!! The perfect neighbor or hostess gift!!!
These can be put together quickly and are relatively inexpensive. And I can't believe I'd never thought of making these before now!
SIMMER POT JARS
Ingredients: bag of oranges, cinnamon sticks, fresh rosemary, whole cloves, cranberries
Other: ribbon, jar (mine are from Dollar Tree), instruction tag (I used this one.)
Directions: Fill bottom of jar with cranberries. Take one orange and push cloves into it forming rings around the orange. Place orange in the jar. Add rosemary sprigs and cinnamon sticks on the side. Sprinkle a few more whole cloves in, along with a few more cranberries. Put the lid on and tie a ribbon around the edge. Add the instruction tag on top.
Then sneak over to your neighbor's porch and drop one off! They'll have it for Christmas Day simmering! Quick, simple, and cute! Also, fun to put together!
And hopefully you'll have leftover ingredients to simmer yourself!
