Pumpkin Potpourri
Using a food slicer or potato waffle slicer, make pumpkin slices from half of a pumpkin. Chop the remaining pumpkin into small pieces. Dry in a food dehydrator or oven. Mix the dried pumpkin slices and pieces with nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, whole cloves, allspice berries, bay leaves, dried orange peel, etc.
Mix and match until a scent is evolving that reminds you of pumpkin pies, falling leaves, and autumn. Place in a decorative bowl, or container. For beautiful additional fall color, add dried hydrangea blossoms, straw- flowers, marigold petals, etc.
