How to Make Pumpkin Bread in a Jar

Step-by-Step

Cream shortening and sugar until fluffy. Beat in eggs, pumpkin, and water. Sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices. Add to pumpkin mixture. Stir in nuts. Pour into greased wide-mouth pint jars, filling them half full of batter.
Bake at 325F degrees for approximately 45 minutes or until a wooden skewer inserted in the middle comes out clean. Remove jars from the oven and cool. When cool, add canning lid.
If you are freezing, leave the pumpkin bread in the jars, add lid, and place in the freezer.
