Jelly Jar Deodorizers

  • 2 cups liquid potpourri
  • 4 packets knox gelatin (plain unflavored)
  • Jelly jars, lids and rings
  • Plastic wrap
  • Decorations (i.e. lace, ribbons, fabric, etc.)

Bring 1 cup liquid potpourri to boil in a non-reactive saucepan. Do not use your good pans!

Add packets of knox gelatin and stir to dissolve.

Add 1 cup of liquid potpourri that is at room temperature and stir.

Pour into jelly jars, cover with plastic wrap and put into refrigerator to firm.

After they have congealed, add lids, rings and any decorations.

These will last several months when uncapped. Just set in a room and let them do their magic

Do you know if I could make these with oils? I used to buy gel jars from Bath and Bodyworks but they don't carry them anymore. I have an oil that I bought from them and love the fragrance. If you think this would work, please tell me if I would need to make any adjustments in your formula. Thanks.

what about using baby food jars to make them.

By IMAQT1962 (Guest Post) 02/07/2006

actually it was much cheaper than buying them at the dollar store. i paid $1.00 for the potpourri at the dollar store and the knox was a little over a $1 for the box of 4 packages and i already had the jars.
and it took less than a couple of minutes to mix it up and let it sit in the fridge to set

This sounds more expensive and time consuming than just buying them at the dollar store.

Hi Donna,
I'd say a nonreactive pan would be any that aren't aluminum or teflon coated. Stainless steel, enamel covered would both work fine for this.

May sound dumb, but what is a 'non-reactive' pan? Can't wait to try this with my daughters.

By IMAQT1962 (Guest Post) 01/11/2006

THIS WILL MAKE 2 JARS

By Karen (Guest Post) 01/10/2006

Does this make 2 jelly jars or more?

This sounds so terrific I just have to try it. I love giving out little gifts to my Red Hat gf's and this will be perfect for any occasion. Thanks for submitting it :D
