Fill a large Dutch oven or crockpot 2/3rds full with water.
Mix in cloves and vanilla.
Slice an orange and apple and add to the pot.
Add cranberries, cinnamon sticks and cedar or pine springs.
Simmer on the stove at low heat or in a crockpot for 3-4 hours or until your home smells of Christmas!
Remove from heat and cool. Cover and re-simmer on Christmas morning. After two uses, toss potpourri.
