  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
1 cup seedless raisins
1 cup walnuts
2 cups all purpose flour
2 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. baking powder
1/2 tsp. salt
2 tsp. ground cloves
2 tsp. ground cinnamon
1 tsp. ground ginger
4 eggs
2 cups granulated sugar
1 cup salad oil
16 oz. can pumpkin
Instructions
1. Preheat oven to 325 deg.

2. Brush the inside of 8 (1 pint, straight sided) Kerr or Ball Quilted Crystal (12 ounce, straight sided) canning jars with shortening (DO NOT use Pam). Set aside.

    (Sterilize the jars, lids and rings.)

3. Coarsely chop the raisins and walnuts set aside. Sift together the flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cloves, cinnamon and ginger in a large bowl. Add raisins and walnuts toss to lightly combine. In another large bowl, beat eggs at high speed until thick and yellow (2 to 3 minutes). Gradually beat in the sugar until thick and light. At low speed, beat in the oil and pumpkin blend well. Gradually stir in the flour mixture until well blended.

4. Divide among the 8 canning jars (should be 1/2 full). Wipe the sides of the jars off (inside/ outside) in case you slop or it''ll burn. Place jars on a cookie sheet or they''ll tip over. Bake in preheated 325 deg oven for about 40 minutes or until a long pick inserted into the center (deep) of the cakes comes out clean.

5. When the cakes test done, remove the jars, one by one and immediately place a lid and ring on and screw down tightly. Make sure to use HEAVY DUTY hot pads because the jars are VERY hot. Place on the counter to cool. You''ll hear a "plinking" sound when they have sealed.
