Simmering Pot Recipe

I did this a few days ago and pulled it out of the fridge today to see how it turned out...

It smelled GREAT!  So this was definitely a PASS!!  Here is the link to the original recipe.  But here are my tweaks:

Somewhere on the page, she was asked what size jar and she guessed pint size.  Um, no.  There was NO way that stuff would fit in a pint jar at those measurements.  So I did 1/4 of each one to fit into a pint size jar (I had a lot of those laying around so I used that size first).  But I think I may make more in larger jars.  

I also only let my stay in the refrigerator for maybe two days before trying it.  In the pint size jar, there wasn't a lot of water and I was afraid the oranges and apples would start to burn.  Not the smell we are looking for here.  So I added one more pint of water.  

Halloween Jars

These are only halfway done.  Yesterday was a crazy cake that had more crazy as the icing.  So long story short, I ended up finishing these with half of what they were supposed to have on them.

The picture is not the best because it was late and as I said earlier...CRAZY day.  But I made these for my husband's office:

  

They are really, really simple.  (More simple than I intended them to be).  BUT...they are soldiers and it's candy so I don't think they were really into the "frilly" visual appeal.  So mission basically accomplished!
