BANANA NUT BREAD IN A JAR





INGREDIENTS


2/3 cup shortening


2 2/3 cups white sugar


4 eggs


2 cups mashed bananas


2/3 cup water


3 1/3 cups all-purpose flour


1/2 teaspoon baking powder


2 teaspoons baking soda


1 1/2 teaspoons salt


1 teaspoon ground cinnamon


1 teaspoon ground cloves


2/3 cup chopped pecans





DIRECTIONS





Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease insides of 8 (1 pint) straight sided, wide mouth canning jars.


In a 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.


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.


Bake at 325 degrees F (165 degrees C) for 45 minutes. Meanwhile, sterilize the lids and rings in boiling water.


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.


Jars should be eaten immediately or kept sealed in refrigerator for up to a week.
My mom has a recipe that includes sour cream( I looked and couldn't find it-sorry!) . I know I didn't give you a recipe, but at least I can give you a hint-look for one that has the sour cream in it, because that will make it moist instead of the usual dry stuff. I swear to you- everyone that has tried it LOVES it. They all say that it's the best banana nut bread that they've ever had. ( if I find the recipe later, I'll come back later and post it) O.K., here it is!(my mom found it). It's called'; Always Moist Banana Bread'; 2 sticks margarine, 1%26amp;1/2 cups sugar, 1%26amp;1/2 cups mashed bananas, 2 eggs beaten, 1 tsp. vanilla, 1/2 cup sour cream , 2 cups flour, 3/4 tsp. salt, 3/4 cup pecans (walnuts if you prefer, but we use pecans), 1 tsp. baking soda. Preheat oven to 325,grease 2 bread loaf pans lightly, then coat w/ sugar. Mix together -MARGARINE, SUGAR, BANANAS, EGGS, VANILLA, and SOUR CREAM. Stir in -FLOUR, SALT, PECANS, and BAKING SODA. Divide batter evenly between the two bread pans, and sprinkle a little sugar over the batter in each pan(optional- we think it gives it that extra something that makes it special). Bake at 325 for 45 min-1hr. (until fork comes out clean). Enjoy! (sorry my instructions don't look better, but I'm still trying to figure out this computer!)

BANANA NUT BREAD


My mother learned to cook this bread during the Depression, when nothing was wasted 鈥?especially overripe bananas. We clamored for this treat so often that she frequently bought extra bananas and let them get almost black. I've discovered that overripe bananas can be peeled, mashed, and frozen, then defrosted whenever I want to bake up this memory.





Active time: 15 min Start to finish: 2 1/4 hr (includes cooling)





click photo to enlarge


2/3 cup whole milk


1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice


2 1/2 cups sifted cake flour (not self-rising; sift before measuring)


1 teaspoon baking powder


3/4 teaspoon salt


1/2 teaspoon baking soda


1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened


2/3 cup sugar


2 large eggs


2 very ripe medium bananas


3 oz walnuts, chopped (1 cup)











Put oven rack in middle position and preheat oven to 350掳F. Grease a 9- by 5-inch loaf pan and line bottom of pan with wax paper or parchment, then grease paper.


Mix together milk and lemon juice and let stand until milk curdles, about 1 minute.





Whisk together flour, baking powder, salt, and baking soda in a bowl.





Beat together butter and sugar in a large bowl with an electric mixer at high speed until pale and fluffy, about 2 minutes. Add eggs, 1 at a time, beating until combined, then beat in bananas until combined. (Mixture will look curdled.)





Add flour mixture to banana mixture alternately with milk, mixing at low speed just until batter is smooth. Stir in walnuts. Pour into loaf pan and bake until a wooden pick or skewer inserted in center of bread comes out clean, about 1 hour.





Cool bread in pan on a rack 20 minutes, then invert bread onto rack. Remove paper and turn bread right side up on rack to cool completely.





Cooks' note:


Bread keeps, wrapped in plastic wrap, at room temperature 4 days or frozen 1 month.





Makes 1 (9-inch) loaf.
