'The best part about this recipe is it’s super easy to make. Just put the ingredients in a pot and simmer on low for a couple hours. Trust me… your house will smell amazing!’
To make the DIY stove top potpourri, Jamielynn combines cranberries (we used frozen, and it works a treat), fresh orange, cinnamon sticks, cloves, nutmeg and water - and leaves it to simmer, uncovered, over a low heat for as long as desired.

And if it starts getting a little low, you can just top it up with more water and keep the scent going!
