Gingerbread
5 Jars Ball
8 New lids - don't use old one
8 Okay to use old ones -- ---batter----
2 1/4 Cups Unbleached flour
3/4 Cup Granulated sugar
1 Teaspoon Baking soda
1/2 Teaspoon Baking powder
1/4 Teaspoon Salt
2 Teaspoons Ginger
1 Teaspoon Cinnamon
1/2 Teaspoon Cloves
3/4 Cup Margarine -- softened
3/4 Cup Water
1/2 Cup Molasses
Preheat oven at 325. Place a baking sheet onto middle rack and remove top rack
from oven. Before starting batter, wash jars, lids, and rings in hot soapy water
and let drain, dry, and cool to room temperature. Generously prepare inside of
jars with margarine. To prepare batter, combine flour, sugar, baking soda,
baking powder, salt, ginger, cinnamon, and cloves in a mixing bowl. In another
mixing bowl, combine margarine, water and molasses. Divide batter among 5 jars
(should be slightly less than half full). Carefully wipe rims clean, then place
jars on baking sheet (or they'll tip over) in the center of oven. Bake 40
minutes. Keep lids in hot water until they're used. When cakes are done, remove
jars which are HOT from oven one at a time. If rims need cleaning, use moistened
paper towel. Carefully put lids and rings in place, then screw tops on tightly
shut. Place jars on a wire rack; they will seal as they cool.
Once jars are cooled, unscrew the ring and decorate as desired.
