Make sure the jar, lid and every ingredient are completely dry. Any remaining moisture can shorten the shelf life or cause mold.

Arrange the dried orange slices around the inside of the jar so they are visible through the glass.

Add the dried cranberries, cinnamon sticks, star anise and dried rosemary.

Close the jar tightly and add a ribbon or instruction tag.

There is no need to follow the exact layering shown here. The jar should look full and festive, so gently rearrange the ingredients until you like the way it looks.
