CELEBRATE THE SCENT OF AUTUMN: MABON SIMMER POT RECIPE
A SEASONAL SYMPHONY FOR THE SENSES
AUTUMNAL AMBIANCE:
As we welcome the crisp embrace of fall, our homes become a canvas for the rich tapestry of autumnal colors and scents. Celebrating Mabon, the Fall Equinox, isn't just about acknowledging the balance between light and dark—it's also about bringing the harmonious blend of fall's bounty into our living spaces. A simmer pot is a delightful way to infuse your home with the essence of autumn and create a warm, inviting atmosphere.
This simmer pot recipe is a tribute to Mabon, capturing the season's core fragrances. Apples and cinnamon whisper the tales of harvest, while citrus notes cut through the chill in the air. Nutmeg and cloves bring a depth of warmth, and the addition of bay leaves and rosemary adds a woody, herbaceous layer to the mix. Together, they create a fragrance that’s as enchanting as fall itself.
INGREDIENTS OF THE SEASON:
Cinnamon Sticks: The quintessential spice of fall, bringing warmth and spice.
Fresh Apples: Sliced apples contribute a sweet, crisp fragrance.
Oranges: Their zest offers a citrusy freshness, reminiscent of autumn orchards.
Lemon: Adds a bright, clean aroma to balance the richer scents.
Nutmeg: Its spicy sweetness is like a soft, earthy hug.
Whole Cloves: For a penetrating warmth and a hint of mystery.
Bay Leaves: Their robust scent underlines the earthy essence of fall.
Rosemary: A whiff of aromatic woods and cool, piney air.
SIMMERING STEPS:
Begin with a medium to large pot, filling it halfway with water—the base of your aromatic creation.
Slice your apples, oranges, and lemon into rounds—no need to be precise; they're just for scent.
Gently place the fruit slices into the water, followed by a handful of cinnamon sticks.
Grate a touch of nutmeg directly into the pot, letting its comforting aroma meld with the water.
Sprinkle in some whole cloves—these little gems pack a punch, so use them to suit your scent preference.
Add a few bay leaves and a sprig of rosemary, setting the stage for an earthy background note.
Let this concoction simmer on low heat, allowing the steam to carry the scents throughout your home. As the water reduces, add more to keep the aroma going all day long.
