Before watering your tree......boil the water first, let stand for 5 minutes and then water tree! This with keep the sap from getting hard and allow for the water to go up the bark!

Christmas Stovetop Simmering Potpourri Materials •
5-6 seasonal fruit such as persimmons citrus, or pomegranates
•
1 bundle herbs such as rosemary thyme, or sage
•
1 jar whole all-spice
•
1 jar whole cloves
•
1 jar whole cinnamon sticks
•
8 oz mason jars
Instructions Prepare the Potpourri: Slice fruit into uniform pieces. Place sliced fruit and herbs onto a lined baking sheet. Make sure to spread the fruit out so that it is not stacked on top of itself (as if you were making cookies), otherwise it may not dry completely. The fruit must be 100% dehydrated to prevent mold growth once it is jarred up! Turn your oven to its lowest temperature, and dehydrate the fruit & herbs for 6-8 hours (Maybe even a bit longer if you have a lot of fruit or fruit that contains more moisture!). Make sure the fruit is 100% dry because mold can grow if there is moisture still present. Remove from the oven, and save until you are ready to assemble the jars. You can expect the listed ingredients to make about 5 jars (possibly 6). I like to add 3 cinnamon sticks in each jar combined with dried herbs and the other ingredients! Place a varying amount of dried fruit, herbs, cinnamon sticks, and spices into small glass jars until full. Enjoy gifting these to neighbors and friends!
