One treat which I always associated with the holidays are sugared pecans. We have several names for them: Snowy Pecans, Heavenly Pecans and Pure Goodness (you can find the recipe here). We have learned that if you are going to make them, then you might as well make a boat load. They are great little treats to give to friends and neighbors. They are also the perfect little homemade something to accompany an impersonal gift card. This year we planned ahead and bought 12 oz. glass jars to package the pecans in. To complete the packaging we added a label and baker's twine. I have included the link if you wish to download our Snowy Pecan labels. Simply print them on whole sheet adhesive label paper and cut them out. To affix the label lay the jar completely perpendicular to you and position the middle of label on the bottom third of the glass. Then smooth out the label from the center to each side. If the label doesn't align perfectly don't sweat it, it just proves that it was homemade.
