• 9 to give as gifts, put in decorative glass jars or decorative tins lined with wax paper.
• 10 note: i've tried using brown sugar (1:1 with the sugar), but the pecans have a tendency to come out sticky and the sugars don't get 'crystalized'. i have not tried these with turbinado or unbleached cane sugar yet. if they don't turn out right, i'll have to keep them for myself !
