Recipe View Allow the jars to cool completely on a wire rack. As they cool, you should hear a 'ping' sound, indicating that the jars have sealed properly. If a jar doesn't seal, you can either refrigerate and consume it within a week, or process it in a boiling water bath for longer shelf storage.

For a richer flavor, consider browning the butter before creaming it with the sugar.
Vary the nuts! Walnuts, almonds, or even a mix of nuts work beautifully.
To check for doneness, insert a wooden skewer into the center of the bread. If it comes out clean, it's ready.
If the tops of the bread are browning too quickly, tent them loosely with foil during the last 15 minutes of baking.
If you don't have canning jars, you can bake this recipe in a standard loaf pan. Adjust baking time accordingly.

    The jars sealed perfectly! This is going into my regular rotation of recipes.

    I substituted applesauce for half of the shortening to make it a little healthier, and it still turned out great!

  • Milan Frami

    I made these as Christmas gifts last year, and everyone loved them! Such a cute and delicious idea.

  • Jonatan Emmerich

    Make sure you really grease the jars well; otherwise, the bread can stick.

  • Jimmy Bashirian

    The spices make this bread smell amazing while it's baking. My family couldn't wait to try it!
