Fall Simmer Pot Instructions:

Step 1: Gather Your Ingredients

Start by collecting all the ingredients you’ll need for this delightful simmer pot. The combination of fresh fruits, warm spices, and vanilla will create a symphony of scents that captures the essence of fall. In addition to your ingredients, you will also need a cutting board and a pot that is large enough to hold all of your ingredients.

Step 2: Prepare the Fruits

Slice the apple, lemon, and orange into thin rounds. You don’t need to worry about peeling them; the peels add a lovely depth of flavor to the simmer pot.

Step 3: Assemble the Pot

In a medium-sized pot, add the sliced fruits, cinnamon sticks, cloves, and vanilla extract. These ingredients are the heart of our simmer pot, infusing your home with a fragrant blend of autumn aromas.

Step 4: Spice it Up

Sprinkle the pumpkin pie spice evenly over the other ingredients in the pot. This spice blend, with its notes of cinnamon, nutmeg, and cloves, will give your simmer pot that unmistakable pumpkin pie aroma.

Step 5: Add Water

Pour in 4 cups of water to cover all the ingredients. This will allow the flavors to meld and release their wonderful scents as they simmer together.

Step 6: Simmer and Enjoy

Place the pot on your stovetop, turn the heat to low, and let the magic begin. As the ingredients heat up, your home will be filled with the warm, comforting scent of fall. Keep an eye on the water level, adding more if necessary to prevent the pot from drying out.

Step 7: Bask in the Aromas

As the simmer pot works its magic, take time to relax and enjoy the wonderful scents wafting through your home. You can even invite friends and family over to share in the cozy atmosphere.

Step 8: Reuse and Refill

The great thing about this simmer pot is that you can reuse it! Simply add more water and keep simmering until the ingredients lose their fragrance. When you’re ready for another round of fall-scented bliss, just add more water and heat it up again.

There’s nothing quite like the warm, inviting aroma of a simmer pot to make your home feel like a cozy haven during the fall season. With ingredients like apple, lemon, orange, cinnamon sticks, vanilla, cloves, and a hint of pumpkin pie spice, this recipe is sure to become a cherished tradition in your home.
