    10 cinnamon sticks, broken
    10 bay leaves, crumbled

    Using a vegetable peeler, peel fruit carefully, removing only
    the peel, not any of the white pith. Cut or tear into one inch
    pieces. Spread peel on paper towel lined pan. Place in
    preheated oven to 175 degrees F, or set oven to WARM. Dry in
    oven for 1 1/2 hours, tossing occasionally. Peels should be
    leathery and/or slightly crunchy. Spread peels on dry paper
    towels and let air dry for 24 hours. Combine with remaining
    ingredients. Fill jars with mixture, place lids on and screw
    bands on tightly. Yield: 3 or 4 half pint jars.

    To use:
    Remove lid and leave band on for decoration to fragrance a room.
    OR put one tablespoon into a jar and fill jar with boiling water
    to release fragrance.
