Fill mason jars with pecan butter.

Cut out top label and recipe card.

Hole punch the corner of the recipe card and attach it with some twine around the jar, finishing with a bow or knot.

Start by slicing each vanilla pod both in half vertically and horizontally.You will need 6 segments ( 11/2 pods) for each 4oz bottle of vanilla extract.

Fill each bottle with vodka using a funnel.

Screw the lid tightly and let steep for about 12 weeks.

If you're giving it away before the 12 weeks is up, then you'll want to include a tag with the bottle that says when the extract will be ready by aka "Ready for Use By" date.

Either bake or buy your cupcakes.

If baking, allow cupcakes to fully cool before placing in the jar.

Turn your mason jar upside and place the cupcake on the lid and screw the jar back on keeping the jar upside down.

Next, tie some twine around with the recipe tag (hole punched) and finish with a bow or knot.
