 How to use potpourri:

A simmer pot is our favorite way to use Christmas Potpourri.   Empty the contents of the jar to a saucepan and cover with water.    And then simmer over low heat and add more water as needed.   Or you could use a simmer pot designed especially for Pourri.

Slice the apple and orange into 1/3 inch thick slices,  if they are any thicker, they will not dry well.  Dry the orange and apple slices by placing them in a single layer on a wire rack. Place the wire rack on top of a baking sheet and bake at 200 degrees for three to four hours.  Or use a dehydrator at 130 degrees for about 12 hours.
