Fill your home with the scent of the season with crock pot Christmas potpourri.
I like for my home fragrance to change with each season. During the Christmas holidays, I want my home to convey a sense of warmth and coziness. Whether it is a fall candle, diffuser blend or simmer pot I love citrus mixed with spice. Last year I discovered an easy way to keep the fragrance plentiful for days – crock pot fall potpourri. This is how I make crock pot Christmas potpourri.
First of all, do you call it a crock pot or a slow cooker? I realize that crock pot is the brand name of a slow cooker, but I never refer to it as a slow cooker. LOL Does that make sense? I’m really interested in what you call it.
Why use the Crock Pot?
Using a Crock Pot makes this potpourri so easy. If frees up space on your stovetop – not to mention it also frees up the heat in the house from keeping your stove on all day. Another feature that I love is that I can set a timer on the crockpot for however long I want it to simmer. Also, the water level doesn’t dwindle as quickly.
