Zucchini Bread Baked in a Jar

"Speaking of gardens and canning who doesn't have zucchini or a friend that has it. That is something EVERYONE around here grows. You'll need 6 wide-mouth pint-size canning jars, metal rings and lids. Don't use any other jars. Sterilize jars, lids and rings according to manufacturer's directions. Grease inside, but not the rim of jars."

  1. Made this.really excellent taste.
     
  2. this is a great recipe but I would add that the jars need to have straight sides for the bread to slip out- thanks for posting.
     
  3. First off, let me start by saying that the taste of this bread was great. It tastes like the zucchini bread that my mom always made for Christmas gifts. The reason for my 4 star rating was that after I took the jars out of the oven and sealed them up, the bread kind of separated and flopped inside. I checked them when I pulled the first one out and nothing came out on the wooden skewer. They looked great when I first took them out but then the weird flop thing happened. The recipe didn't mention it so I'm not sure if I was supposed to squeeze the juice out of the grated zucchini or what went wrong. Other than that, it was pretty darn tasty!
