How to Bake Banana Bread and Seal it in a Canning Jar

Banana Bread sealed in a Canning Jar Ingredients 3/4 cup shortening 2 3/4 cups white sugar 4 Large eggs 2 1/2 cups ripe bananas (about 7-8) 3/4 cup water 3 1/2 cups all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon baking powder 2 teaspoons baking soda 1 1/2 teaspoons salt 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (I round up.) 1 teaspoon ground cloves (I round up.) 3/4-1 cup chopped pecans optional: 1 teaspoon Vanilla Extract & 1 teaspoon Almond Extract (If added, reduce water by 2 teaspoons) Directions Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (177 degrees C). Grease insides of 8 (1 pint) straight sided, wide mouth canning jars. In a large bowl, cream butter or shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs one at a time, bananas, and water. In a separate bowl, stir or sift together flour, baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Add to banana mixture. Stir in nuts. Pour mixture into greased jars, filling 1/2 full of batter. Do not put lids on jars for baking. Wipe off rims of jars with a clean wet cloth. Place jars an inch or more apart on a baking sheet. (Place a shallow pan with a cup of water in it in the bottom of oven to evaporate during the baking.) Bake at 350 degrees F (177 degrees C) for 35-45 minutes. Meanwhile, sterilize the lids and rings in boiling water. As soon as bread is done, remove from oven one at a time, wipe rims of jars and put on lid and ring. Jars will seal as they cool. Wait until they are fully sealed and completely cool before removing ring and placing a "shepherds cap"-type cloth on for optional decoration. Label jars with the contents, date, and instructions like: "Keep refrigerated. Expires 4 months from date." The FDA does NOT recommend "canning" bread because quick breads contain a high amount of moisture and low acidity levels which can cause the growth of a bacteria called Clostridium botulinum, which is commonly known as botulism. NO known cases of botulism have been connected to home canned breads. It is recommended that you keep your canned bread in the refrigerator.
