Comments: Any quick bread type cake can be baked in canning jars. The cakes stay fresh and moist for several months. Use jars that are wide mouth. They must be straight on the inside with no irregularities. Always use NEW lids. The jars must be greased well. Do not use PAM or any such cooking spray. Use shortening or lard and use a pastry brush. There will be a little condensation on the lids and some in the jars so when you seal them it''s trapped inside. Don''t worry about getting the water off of the lids before placing them onto the jars, the

Serves:

Ingredients

2 2/3 cups shortening
2 2/3 cups sugar
4 eggs
2 cups applesauce
1/3 cup water
3 1/3 cup all purpose flour, sifted
1/2 tsp. baking powder
2 tsp. baking soda
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. cloves
2/3 c walnuts, chopped (optional)
2/3 c nuts, chopped (optional)

Instructions

1. Cream together the shortening and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the applesauce and water set aside. Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves. Blend the dry ingredients into the applesauce mixture. Fold in the nuts.

2. Sterilize pint (wide mouth jam/jelly) jars, lids and rings. (Keep the lids and rings in the hot water until ready to use). Grease the insides of the jars with shortening, Do not use "Pam" or any similar cooking spray.)

3. Fill jars half full. Place the jars on a cookie sheet. Preheat oven to 325 deg. Bake in preheated oven for about 45 minutes or until pick inserted in the center (deep) of each cake comes out clean.

4. Remove jars from the oven one at a time (use HEAVY DUTY HOT PADS!), wipe rim of jar clean put on a lid and ring and screw on tightly. Jars will seal as the cakes cool. You''ll hear a "plinking" sound which means that the jars have sealed. If you''re not sure, push down on the lids after the cakes have cooled, the lids should NOT be lose or it is NOT sealed. Decorate jar as desired.
