Notes

Notes: Clean apple and orange peels can replace the sliced fruit. This simmer pot is for home fragrance, not for eating or canning.
A reminder while it simmers: Check the water level often and add more before the pot gets low. Set a one-hour timer as a reminder to check it, and turn off the stove whenever you leave the room. Never leave the simmer pot unattended.
