Well I'm going to try it tomorrow with Amish Friendship bread. I have just a few wide mouth jars and what I've read on line, it should be easy. Has any one tried this with any success? Let me know how it came out, Thank you Carol

I have not tried this, though I have thought it is a good idea for people who have to send things. I wonder how well it keeps...

SOme of the websites say it keeps from one week to a year...I just want it to get through Christmas. I know I can always freeze the bread but I wanted to try something different.

Hey ladies,
I have done this with breads and cakes for a number of years. In fact, I just found a chocolate cake that I had done about two years ago, opened it and enjoyed it. I used to send breads and cakes to my dad. He always looked forward to them. Now we have a young friend who serves in the military and I send some to him when I can. I just sent him pumpkin bread and brownies all securely sealed. He loves them and can't wait for the "jarred cakes" to arrive. All the "official" sites warn you that it is not a safe thing to do, but I have always had good luck. Make sure the rims of your jars are clean when they come out of the oven and have the rings and lids in boiling water on the stove so when your cakes are done you can seal them right away. Everyone loves them.

Do the jars need to be processed? and how do you know what recipe will fit the jars? and where can I find out more? Sounds like a fun idea!!
Give thanks to yourself everyday for all the wonderful things you do! |

Good morning Ingrid,
You sterilize your jars in boiling water. Then you fill them about half full with cake or bread mix and bake as the recipe states. You have the rings and seal boiling in water on the stove while your cakes are baking and Immediately upon taking from oven you clean the tops of jars and place the lids and rings on and tighten. Voila, they will seal. Try this sight for ideas http://www.cyber-kitchen.com/recipes/Jar_Cakes.htm

How are your getting the bread out without making it crumbly? I use to bake breads in coffee cans so they would pop out ok.

If you butter the jars on the inside well, and only use wide mouth pint jars (they have straight sides)they come right out easily.

My bread sealed well, and I did have trouble getting one out, but my daughter "dished' the bread out into bowls and put ice cream on top. I would use more grease inside the jars next time, and a little less batter. I am going to open the rest in a few weeks and compare it to the bread I froze and see how it goes. It would sure save freezer space if I can get it to work.
