Mason Jar Mixes Storage Tips
Follow these simple tips to keep the ingredients in the mason jars fresh:
- When layering the ingredients in the jar, start with the dryer items like flour and sugar.
- Then add any wetter ingredients like chocolate chips or nuts. Be sure to pack each layer tightly so that the mix will stay fresh for longer.
- Once the jar is full, screw on the lid and label it with the contents and date.
- Stored in a cool, dark place, your cookie mix should stay fresh for up to six months.
Tips for Making Cookie Mixes in Mason Jars
- Make sure the mason jar you are using is clean and dry.
- Use a mason jar funnel to help you get the ingredients into the jars without any mess.
- Always tap the jar to settle and flatten the ingredients. I like to use my tart tamper tool.
- Close the jar tight so the ingredients stay fresh.
- Decorate the jar with ribbon as you add the gift tags.
