This potpourri uses things found in your spice cupboard and fruit drawer. I put approximate amounts of everything... please use your own judgement for exact measurements. I never measure anything.. I just use up what I have. You can use any combination.. be creative! Ingredients:
2 apples (sliced to just under 1/4-inch) |
2 small oranges (sliced to just under 1/4-inch) |
3 limes (sliced to just under 1/4-inch) |
2 lemons (sliced to just under 1/4-inch) |
2 cups cranberries |
handful bay leaf |
4 cinnamon sticks, broken in half |
2 tablespoons whole cloves |
2 tablespoons whole allspice |
2 tablespoons vanilla extract |
Directions:
1. Dry apple, orange, lime, and lemon slices.
2. I put them on a cookie cooling rack, then on a baking sheet and place in oven. Bake at 170 F for about 5-7 hours, until apples are still pliable but not mushy, and there is no liquid left in citrus fruit.
3. Dry cranberries by covering a baking sheet with parchment paper and putting cranberries in single layer.
4. Dry 170°F These take about 8 hours.
5. As fruit is done, take out and place in a large bowl.
6. Add all the spices.
7. Toss with vanilla extract and allow to dry overnight.
8. Place in container or bags to give away.
