Jar Cakes

This recipe came from Mom. It's really yummy and would make great gifts! She put them together and gave them with a little piece of holiday cloth. Very nice!

First mix dry ingredients in bowl:

3 1/3 c flour
1/2 t salt
1/2 t baking powder
2 t baking soda
2 t cinnamon
1/2 t ground clove

In another bowl mix in order:

2/3 c butter flavored Crisco
2 2/3 c white sugar
4 eggs
1 3/4 c unsweetened apple sauce
2/3 c water
1 t vanilla

add dry ingredients.
Fold in 1/4 c raisins
and 2/3 c nuts

Grease 8 wide mouth jars very well. Place one cup of batter in each. Make sure the rims are clean before baking! Place cookie sheet into oven. Place jars, without lids, onto the cookie sheet. Do NOT let jars touch.
Bake at 325 for 35-45 min.

While cakes are cooling bring lids and rings to a boil. Seal with rings and lids and listen for the pop!
