Nuts in a Jar Gift

This adorable gift idea couldn’t be simpler to make. That’s because you can prepare the nuts in your slow cooker for quick and easy baking!

This DIY gift idea is made up of two different parts — the cinnamon sugar pecans and the mason jar packaging. That means you’ll need a few ingredients and a handful of crafting items.

To make your own gift, you’ll need just a handful of simple supplies, including:

• Printable gift tag. The key to turning your cinnamon sugar pecans into a cute Christmas gift is the gift tag! Keep reading to see how to get your own printable nuts in a jar gift tag for your DIY Christmas present.

How to Make Cinnamon Sugar Pecans

Before you can start packaging up your nuts in a jar gift, you’ll need to prepare your nuts! That means following this simple recipe for making cinnamon sugar pecans in the Crockpot.

Start by adding the egg white to a large bowl and beating it on high speed until it becomes white and foaming. This could take up to five minutes of beating.

Once the egg whites are nice and fluffy, add the pecans to the bowl. Stir to coat the pecans in the egg white, making sure all the nuts are fully coated.

Next, add the brown sugar, cinnamon, and salt to the bowl. Stir to coat all the pecans in the cinnamon and sugar.

Transfer the coated pecans to a the slow cooker, making sure to grease the bowl of the Crockpot lightly with nonstick cooking spray to keep the sugar from sticking.

Set the slow cooker to cook the pecans on low for around two hours, stirring the nuts halfway through the cook time.

When the nuts are finished cooking and they’re nice and toasted, transfer them to a parchment paper lined baking sheet to cool completely.
