We've had requests for how to make the Simmering Sachet from our post about homemade, elegant Christmas gifts.

Recipe for 24 Simmering Sachet Christmas Gifts
5 oranges sliced into 1/4 inch circles
2 bags fresh cranberries
72 cinnamon sticks
1 jar whole cloves
1 jar whole allspice berries
clear cellophane treat bags
clear 9 oz. SOLO cups
24 Christmas Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers
To dry your fruit, place cooling racks on several baking sheets and spread the fruit into single layers. Prop your oven door open slightly and bake at 170 F for several hours until dry. Check it occasionally - fruit should not be sticky.
When fruit is dried, place 2 orange slices, a handful of cranberries, 3 cinnamon sticks, 4 cloves and 6 allspice berries in a clear treat bag. Tie with coordinating ribon, place into 9 oz. SOLO cup and include a note with directions to pour into a pot of water and let simmer for a wonderful Holiday Aroma.
For an elegant Christmas gift presentation, put some double stick tape or a glue dot on the SOLO cup and slide into Christmas Dessert Skirtz cupcake wrappers.
