Time 3h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 (1 pint) wide-mouth canning jars with lids and rings
1 tablespoon shortening
1 cup raisins
1 cup hot water
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup shortening
3 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
2 cups finely shredded zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease pint jars with 1 tablespoon shortening.
  • Soak raisins in hot water until plump, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine sugar, 1 cup shortening, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in raisins. Add flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and baking powder; beat until blended. Fold zucchini, walnuts, and vanilla extract into the batter.
  • Divide batter among greased jars, filling each one 2/3 full. Arrange jars on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Turn off oven, keeping jars inside. Remove jars one at a time from the oven using oven mitts; trim off excess cake, wipe rims, and screw on lids.
  • Place jars several inches apart on a cloth-covered or wood surface and let cool completely, about 2 hours. Store jars in the refrigerator.

I had a hard time getting the bread out of the jars. Next time, I'll use a different type of jar.

The zucchini bread was a bit too moist for my taste, but the flavor was good.

I'm a huge fan of zucchini bread, and this recipe is one of the best I've tried. The bread is moist and flavorful, and the streusel topping adds a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
