Ingredients

2/3 c SHORTENING
2 ts GROUND CLOVES
1 1/2 ts SALT
2 2/3 c GRANULATED SUGAR
4 ea Large EGGS
1 x ELLIE COLLIN CMKD93F
2 ts BAKING SODA
1 ts GROUND CINNAMON
2 c APPLESAUCE
2/3 c WATER
3 1/3 c ALL-PURPOSE FLOUR, sifted
2/3 c NUTS; sliced,optional
1/2 ts BAKING POWDER

Directions

Step #1 Sterilize 8 (12 oz Ball Quilted Crystal - #14400-81400) canning jars, lids & rings by boiling for 10 mins.
Step #2 Remove the jars & allow to air-dry & cool.
Step #3 Leave the lids & rings in the hot water until ready to use.
Step #4 Once the jars are cool enough to handle, grease them (use a pastry brush) with shortening (DO NOT use Pam or Baker's Secret); set aside.
Step #5 Cream together the shortening & sugar.
Step #6 Beat in the eggs, one at a time, until the mixture is light & fluffy.
Step #7 Add the applesauce & water; set aside.
Step #8 In another bowl, baking soda, sift together the flour, baking powder, salt, cinnamon & cloves.
Step #9 mix dry ingredients into the applesauce mixture.
Step #10 Fold in the nuts.
Step #11 Pour batter into the jars, filling them about 1/2 full.
Step #12 Place jars onto a cookie sheet or they'll fall over.
Step #13 Bake in a preheated 325-degree oven for 35-40 mins or until a pick inserted deep into the center of each cake comes out clean.
Step #14 Remove jars from the oven, one-at-a-time (use HEAVY-DUTY MITTS, the jars ARE HOT!); place a lid, then a ring on top & screw down tightly.
Step #15 Place jars onto your counter top to cool.
Step #16 You'll know when the jars have sealed, you'll hear a "plinking" sound.
Step #17 If you missed the sound, test them by pressing down on the lids once the jars have cooled--they shouldn't move at all.
Step #18 Store jars in a cool, dry place.
Step #19 They should keep for about a year.
Step #20 I've only been able to keep them for a few weeks, they don't last that long around here.
Step #21 They're wonderful for last min gifts, especially for single friends.
Step #22 --.
