Apple Cake In A Jar - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2/3 c. shortening
2 2/3 c. sugar
4 eggs
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. baking soda
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
3 c. all-purpose flour
2/3 c. water
3 c. peeled apple, grated
2/3 c. raisins
2/3 c. chopped nuts

Preparation

Mix together ingredients in order given. Sterilize 7 to 9 wide-mouth pint jars and lids. Grease them with shortening. Fill the jars half full. Bake on the middle wire rack in the oven for 45 minutes at 325\u00b0. As soon as cake is done, remove jars one at a time from oven. Wipe the rim of the jar clean with a damp cloth and put on the hot sterilized lid. Screw down bands and let cool. Do not use small-mouth jars. Do not add any other ingredients. As the cake cools in the sealed jar, it will pull away from the sides of the jar and come out easily when ready to serve. Cakes have a one-year shelf life.
