This is not technically a recipe for eating, but I really love to make it this time of year!
I started making potpourri because I get kind of excited about cranberries. And then maybe I buy too many. Like 2 big bags from costco. There’s only so much cranberry one family can eat! The rest I put in the freezer and there it sits for a year.
SOLUTION! Use the cranberries to make homemade potpourri!
Here’s the recipe I like to use:
