BREAD-IN-A-JAR FOR GIFT GIVING


This recipe is easy to do, but the instructions must be followed exactly.
The good thing about giving Bread-In-A-Jar is those who receive it can keep it until they get over the holiday food blahs.


Bake in pint size wide mouth canning jar, seal immediately upon removing from the oven.

It will keep on the shelf for up to one year.

Take jars out the oven one at a time.

When jars have cooled enough to handle them,tighten the tops.

As jars cool, they will seal.
