This recipe is great because you can use what you have on hand. Don't have cranberries? Don't worry about it! This recipe is very forgiving and helps your home smell amazing!

It's a great way to use up that extra fruit that might just be sitting uneaten in your fridge. I know we had a few oranges that were turning hard and the kids wouldn't eat them. Throw them in a pot and follow the recipe. No need to waste anything! Enjoy the smells of the season!
