I love Candles. Almost everyday a candle is lit in our home. I love the way candles have our home smelling. So fresh. In addition to scented candles, I love Simmering Pots.
Simmering Pots are inexpensive in comparison to candles. Most simmering pots include fruit and fragrant items like cloves, cinnamon sticks, extracts, etc. Simmering Pots can be made year round.
What is a simmer pot you ask? Well I’m glad that you asked. A simmering pot is a pot that is filled fragrant items that fills your home with refreshing scents.
I recently bought myself a new simmering pot.This simmering pot is glass. I wanted a glass one so I could see all of the pretty fruit inside.
Here is link to my new Simmering Pot. I am sharing a few of my favorite simmer recipes.
