I needed a small Thank You gift for a soldier that is working with Geo and I used it as an excuse to try it out. I made Cranberry Almond and Lemon Poppyseed breads. I read in several places that quick breads work the best so I skipped my first choice, Death By Chocolate. I used 1 pint jars although I also bought the 1/2 pint jars because they were so adorable. The pint sized jars were perfect. One cup of batter per jar and they baked up perfectly. I put the lids on immediately after they came out of the oven and in a few minutes I heard the *pink* of safely sealed jar cakes.
I had some sticker paper tucked away in the loft and dug it out to label the jars. After they baked and cooled I made a basic design in Word and printed them out. I love the colors. They match the color of the breads well. I tied the lids with some rafia and voila!
These are great. I'm addicted. I read several places about brownies in the jars. I'm not a huge brownie fan but I'm thinking MUFFINS! Ooooohhhh and cornbread. Yes! Cornbread! I think I'll try the 1/2 pint ones for an upcoming bake sale.
