Description
A hand painted pumpkin jar that hides a sweet and nutty pumpkin treat. Part Thanksgiving craft and part recipe, these hand painted pumpkin jars are the perfect container for gifting homemade glazed pecans.
Start by making big batches of our Pumpkin Spiced Glazed Pecan recipe in the slow cooker -- a simple and easy way to roast a Southern favorite. While the pecans are roasting, you can paint the outside of your pumpkin themed jars and lids.
When the nuts are done and the paint is dry, package up the pecans in the pumpkin jars and give them as party favors or gifts during the holiday season. You could also personalize the jars and use as a place card for fall get togethers, use several as a Thanksgiving centerpiece, or present them as a thank you gift for a special teacher or neighbor.
Pumpkin Spice Glazed Pecans are delicious on their own as a snack, tossed in a salad, or on top of an ice cream sundae.
