Some Tips for Making Mixes in a Jar
Filling the Jars Be sure to pack the ingredients tightly when adding to the jar, especially brown sugar. (Try crumbling the brown sugar to give it an even texture before packing into jar.
Recipes with brown sugar should be used within weeks of making because the sugar will turn rock hard the longer it sits. If this happens, you may have to pick at it to remove it from the jar.)
Flour and sugar seep through, so nuts and candies should be on top of flour or white sugar. Pack contrasting colors together, the layers will look nicer.
