Christmas Simmer Pot Recipe

Step 1

Fill a large pot 3/4 full with water and place over high heat.

Step 2

Add all of the ingredients to the pot.

Step 3

Bring the liquid to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer on low for 2-3 hours. Add more water, as needed, so there is always some liquid in the pot.

Step 4

After simmering for a few hours, allow to cool, and then cover the pot and let it sit on the turned-off stove until the next day.

Step 5

When ready to heat it up again the next day, remove the lid and bring it to a simmer, adding fresh water as needed so there is always liquid in the pot.

Step 6

When you’re done with the simmer pot, strain out the liquid and compost or dispose of the ingredients.
