Watch Out Below!

Words of wisdom from my husband:
"Never eat icicles that are directly underneath the chimney. They are nasty!"

Canned Zucchini Bread?

I canned a few of these up in July & they are still as delicious 6 months later!
Canned Zucchini Bread
  • 3 c. flour
  • 1 t. salt
  • 1 t. baking powder
  • 1 t. baking soda
  • 2 t. cinnamon
  • 1/4 t. cloves
  • 2 c. sugar
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1 c. oil
  • 2 c. zucchini, grated
  • 1/4 t. nutmeg
  • 1 t. vanilla
  • 1/2 c. pecans, chopped (optional)

Mix all ingredients. Bake in 8 wide mouth jelly jars or 4 (1 1/2 pint) wide mouth jars. Sterilize & spray inside of jar with cooking spray. Fill jars half full; put in cake pan to bake. For small jars, bake only for 35 minutes. For 1 1/2 pint jars bake about 1 hour & 15 minutes. Turn jars while baking so they bake evenly. After they are baked, screw on lids tightly. Set on dish towel to cool.
