Fall Simmer Pot
Orange, apple, cinnamon and cloves on the stove. Five minutes to set up, and the whole house smells like fall before the first guest rings the bell.
It’s mahjong night, ladies, so let’s make a fall simmer pot. Your whole house will smell amazing before the first guest rings the bell, and it takes about five minutes to set up.
You’ll need
Fills one medium pot. About 5 minutes to set up, then it simmers for up to about 4 hours.
- 1 orange, sliced
- 1 apple, sliced
- ½ cup fresh cranberries
- 3 cinnamon sticks
- 1 tsp whole cloves
- 1 sprig of rosemary
- Water
Make it
Slice the orange and apple, then put everything in a medium pot.
Fill the pot about three-quarters full with water.
Bring it just to a simmer, then turn the heat down low.
Add more water as it cooks down.
Lady M’s tips
- Never leave it unattended or let it boil dry. Turn it off before you sit down to play if you can’t see the stove.
- Keep an eye on the water. It cooks down faster than you think.
- Bag the dry ingredients with a tag for an easy little gift.
On my table
A pretty enamel pot looks good left out on the stove.
That’s it, and you’re ready for game night. Bird Bam Cheers! ...and happy mahj-ing!
