Be sure to pack the ingredients tightly
when adding to the jar, especially brown sugar.
Try crumbling the brown sugar to give it an even texture before packing into
jar.
Recipes with brown sugar should be used within weeks of making because the sugar
will turn rock hard the longer it sits. If this happens, you may have to pick at
it to remove it from the jar.
