I loved lighting holiday candles when I was younger but stepped away from using them years ago after becoming sensitive to their lead wicks (even lead-free wicks) and their lingering stream of smoke. I miss them, yes, but this year I decided to create fresh scents on the stovetop instead.

Here’s a snapshot of what I simmered all afternoon + well into this evening. Every nook of my loft feels wrapped in a rhythm of warmth + spice, as if the air itself is smiling.

I filled a medium pot halfway with water and added:

1 bag of fresh cranberries
1 clementine, peeled and segmented (include the peels, if desired)
1 large apple, sliced
4 cinnamon sticks
3 sprigs of fresh rosemary

I placed the pot on the stovetop (uncovered) and let it simmer. NOTE: Be sure to keep an eye on this if you’re letting it simmer for a few hours. You’ll likely need to add more water. Set a timer on your stovetop so you don’t forget about it!

This holiday simmer pot is welcoming + quietly festive. I’ll be making it again at my parents’ home next week for Christmas.

Enjoy!
