-Plums, or other fruit that is too mushy to eat, but not rotten
-Water
-Small saucepan
-Fresh Mint (if you have it)
-Cinnamon
Place plums in a small saucepan and cover with water. Throw in a few mint leaves and a dash of cinnamon. Place saucepan on the stove over low heat. In a few minutes you'll have a wonderful fragrance filling your home.
I've never done this with mint before, but it added a nice touch for the summer. Every so often I would get a whiff just of the mint and it smelled so refreshing! I even left it in the pot overnight and turned it on first thing this morning and my house smells just as nice as it did yesterday.

ReplyDeleteWhat an easy idea! I didn't know plums were so fragrant. I wish I had some fresh mint to add in.
ReplyDeleteI did this! And smelling the cinnamon made me want fall to be here even more!
