APPLE RAISIN CAKE IN A JAR

Steps:

• Grease 8 WIDE-MOUTH pint canning jars with melted shortening.
• Use a brush and avoid getting grease on the jar rims.
• Cream shortening and sugar.
• Beat in eggs and applesauce.
• Sift together the dry ingredients and blend them into the applesauce mixture.
• Add the raisins and nuts and divide the batter evenly between 8 widemouth pint jars.
• The jars will be more than half full.
• Bake open jars about 60 minutes in an oven at 325 degrees.
• When done, quickly remove one hot jar at a time and clean its sealing edge.
• Immediately apply and firmly tighten a two-piece wide-mouth canning lid.
• The lid will form a vacuum seal as the jar cools.
• Jars of cooled bread may be stored on the pantry shelf with other canned foods or may be placed in a freezer.
• The bread is safe to eat as long as jars remain vacuum sealed and free of mold growth.
