Ingredients

1 cup Brown sugar
2 1/4 cups All-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon Baking soda
1/2 teaspoon Salt
3/4 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
3/4 cup Raisins
3/4 cup Chopped nuts

Preparation

Combine flour, salt, cinnamon and baking soda - stir well. Place flour

mixture in a clean mason jar. Pack down tight so everything will fit in the jar. (Use a spoon or a mallet.) Add other ingredients, one item at a time, packing each layer down.

Put the lid on the jar and tie a ribbon around the lid. You can add a

personalized label, if you wish. As an added touch, tie a wooden spoon to the lid with a piece of ribbon.
