I took this post from http://www.mommyskitchen.net/search?q=jar
I told Clayton about this the other day. I will have to try it with my banana bread, carrot cake, zucchini breads and anything else that makes a bunch that I have to throw away because it gets old. I know people say to freeze it but it does not taste the same....girls think what a nice gift this would be for teachers with a pretty rag topper...Laura and Erin you need to mark this ladies site. It is one of the best I have seen. Kris turned me on to it..Here is her post..
Yes, cakes and quick breads baked in a jar. You did read the title correctly. These cakes are baked in a hot oven right in the sterilized jars. Then sealed in the jars by the heat in the oven from baking. When you are ready to serve the cake/bread just open the jar and the bread will slide right out. A properly sealed quick bread will stay safe for up to 3 months some say longer. It sure is hard to wait that long to pop that jar open and eat that wonderful bread. These makes such a pretty gifts . I have heard of dry mixes in a jar but never cakes or breads baked in a jar. So imagine my surprise when I heard about this technique a few years back. I can honestly say I have made these cakes a couple times around the holidays and everyone is always pleased and a bit surprised.
Kenzie will love making these...I have got to buy some straight jars...I had never heard of this but I am sure it would work...

These are such fun gifts. I am so glad you posted this recipe it makes such nice teachers gifts. Just always rememeber to use jars without necks or the cakes will not come out. Have a awesome saturday.
That sounds like it would be fun to do as a gift I will have to try this also. Thanks Helen.
Well, maybe one of my student's will try it and give it to me.
I think Patsy needs to make me some of these. I will do my part by testing them.
Looks simple enough. I'll have to buy a few wide mouth jars and try it.
