A super quick and easy recipe for today. Christmas wouldn’t be the same without copious amounts of nuts. I’m definitely at that stage in my preparations when I can’t walk past a packet of nuts without buying some. As a handmade presents go, these Sticky Christmas Pecans are about as quick and easy as it gets. The little jars are sold in packs of 4 from Ikea. Dress them up with a tartan ribbon & ta-dah!
