Cream shortening and sugar; add applesauce, water and eggs and mix well. Mix dry ingredients in another bowl and add to first mixture. Add nuts (or raisins), if desired. Spray wide-mouth
pint jars with Pam and fill about 1/2 full. This will fill 6 to 8 jars. Bake at 325\u00b0 exactly 45 minutes. Remove jars one at a time and quickly screw the lid on each jar. Let set until ready to eat. When you use canning jar lids, this cake has a shelf life of one year.
