[Comment FALL for links to pot and ingredients]
Fall is such a sensory season, from the flavors, the cozy textures and the scents. A simmer pot is such an easy way to set the mood with fruit, herbs, and spices you may already have in your kitchen.
Here’s what we’re using:
½ orange, sliced with the peel on
½ apple, sliced
½ cup cranberries
1 small rosemary sprig
2 cinnamon sticks
10 whole cloves
1 star anise
3 thin slices of fresh ginger
1 tsp vanilla extract
4–6 cups water, enough to cover everything
Bring it to a gentle boil, then turn the heat down to the lowest simmer and leave uncovered. Keep adding water as needed, and never leave it unattended.
