Banana Bread In A Jar

Cream sugar and shortening. Add eggs and mix well. Add buttermilk and vanilla. Mix well.

Place dry ingredients in a separate bowl. Add creamed ingredients to the dry and mix. Stir in bananas.

Prepare 1-pint wide mouth canning jars with vegetable shortening. Place 1 c. of batter in each jar (do not use more than 1 c. or batter will overflow and jar will not seal). Place jars evenly spread on a cookie sheet.

Bake at 325 degrees F for 45 minutes or until a toothpick comes out clean. Wipe rim, place lid on.

Working quickly, put 1 ring on jar and secure. Jars will seal quickly. Repeat with remaining jars.

When ready to serve, bread will slide out. When properly sealed, will last for 1 year.
