So, i found this recipe on pinterest, and i am in LOVE with it.  I started using it on Christmas Eve and been addicted to it ever since.

 

 

so, the recipe is:

 

1 orange-cut into 1/4

1 lemon-cut in half

1/2 c. fresh cranberries

3 cinnamon sticks

nutmeg

ginger

 

Put everything into a saucepan and fill with water.  Put on lowest heat setting and let simmer.  Add more water as needed.  You can refresh your pot with a new orange and a couple more cranberries if needed also.  The more you cook it, it kinda turns brown, but it still smells just as good.  I used mine for about 3 weeks and refreshed it once with an orange peel and a few more cranberries. 

 

I love cranberry and citrus-y candles, but this beats every candle i've ever had.  And, it makes your house smell like your cooking something really yummy! 

 

 

*Just a little reminder, don't forget to turn off your stove when you leave your house.
