Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Grease insides of 8 (1 pint) straight sided, wide mouth canning jars.
- 2. In large bowl, cream shortening and sugar until light and fluffy. Beat in eggs, bananas and water. Sift together flour. baking powder, soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Add to banana mixture. Stir in nuts.
- 3. Pour mixture into greased WIDE MOUTH pint jars, filling 1/2 full of batter. DO NOT put lids on jars for baking. Be careful to keep the rims clean, wiping off any batter that gets on the rims.
- 4. Bake at 325 degrees for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, sterilize the lids and rings in boiling water.
- 5. As soon as cake is done, remove from oven one at a time; wipe rims of jars and put on lid and ring. Jars will seal as cakes cool. Place the jars on the counter and listen for them to "ping" as they seal. If you miss the "ping", wait until they are completely cool and press on the top of the lid. If it doesn't move at all, it's sealed.
- 6. Cakes should be eaten immediately or kept sealed in refrigerator for up to a week.
- 7. NOTE: Place the jars directly in the center of the middle rack in the oven, to bake .....not on a cookie sheet.
Tips:
- Choose ripe bananas: The riper the bananas, the sweeter and more flavorful your banana nut bread will be.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing can result in a tough, dense loaf of bread.
- Grease and flour your loaf pan: This will help prevent the bread from sticking to the pan.
- Bake the bread until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean: This is the best way to ensure that the bread is cooked through.
- Let the bread cool completely before slicing: This will help prevent the bread from crumbling.
Conclusion:
Banana nut bread is a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With its moist texture, sweet banana flavor, and crunchy walnuts, it's sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. The gift mix in a jar is a great way to share this delicious treat with friends and family, and it's also a fun and unique gift idea.
