Time 3h30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

4 (1 pint) wide-mouth canning jars with lids and rings
1 tablespoon shortening
1 cup raisins
1 cup hot water
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup shortening
3 eggs
2 cups all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon ground cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1 teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon baking powder
2 cups finely shredded zucchini
1 cup chopped walnuts
2 teaspoons vanilla extract

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees F (165 degrees C). Grease pint jars with 1 tablespoon shortening.
  • Soak raisins in hot water until plump, about 10 minutes. Drain.
  • Combine sugar, 1 cup shortening, and eggs in a large bowl; beat with an electric mixer until creamy. Beat in raisins. Add flour, cinnamon, baking soda, salt, and baking powder; beat until blended. Fold zucchini, walnuts, and vanilla extract into the batter.
  • Divide batter among greased jars, filling each one 2/3 full. Arrange jars on a rimmed baking sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 1 hour. Turn off oven, keeping jars inside. Remove jars one at a time from the oven using oven mitts; trim off excess cake, wipe rims, and screw on lids.
  • Place jars several inches apart on a cloth-covered or wood surface and let cool completely, about 2 hours. Store jars in the refrigerator.

This zucchini bread is a lifesaver! I always have a jar of batter in the fridge, so I can have fresh zucchini bread whenever I want. It's a delicious and convenient snack or dessert.

Not bad, but not great either. I found the bread to be a bit dry and lacking in flavor.

Disappointed. I followed the recipe precisely, but the bread came out dry and crumbly. I'm not sure what went wrong.

This recipe is a winner! The zucchini bread was moist, flavorful, and had a lovely golden crust. I added some chocolate chips to the batter, which made it even more irresistible. Will definitely be making this again!

Not a fan. The bread was too dense for my liking and had a strange aftertaste. I think I'll stick to my usual zucchini bread recipe.

Mediocre. The bread turned out dry and dense, and the flavor was rather bland. I'm not sure if I did something wrong or if the recipe needs some adjustments.

Oh my goodness, this zucchini bread is divine! The texture was incredibly moist and fluffy, and the flavor was perfectly balanced. I could taste the freshness of the zucchini and the sweetness of the spices. It's a definite keeper!

Slightly disappointed with the outcome. While the bread had a nice texture, I found it to be a bit bland. I think adding some spices like cinnamon or nutmeg would enhance the flavor.

This recipe was straightforward and yielded a delightful zucchini bread! I used a lemon-infused olive oil, which added a subtle citrusy flavor to the bread. It was moist, flavorful, and the perfect treat for an afternoon snack.
