Anyone ever do this

I ran across this interesting cooking idea today. I think I'm going to give it a try after I do some shopping. Would sure be a neat way to take cake camping with us.

I'm a bit puzzled. Why mess about with packing stuff in jars to bake when you could use a regular pan. Neither way is any good to us as we don't have an oven!!

I think the idea is to cook at home and take the cooked cake on the road.. The jar protects the cake from being flattened??? The problem I'd have would be the cake would be eaten long before we hit the road. Raz

Yes,the idea ...at least for me....would be to cook them at home and take them camping. My thought would be that way my cake would not get crushed and would take up less room. I do agree that I don't think they would make it all the way to camp.I also think my grandkids would enjoy eating cake in a jar.

Aren't convenience stores everywhere for this very purpose?

Interesting. But I have a microwave in my trailer and have several recipes for cake in a mug. Want fruit, jam a piece of peach into the batter. Microwave according to the instructions. There you are Done!

I've made banana nut bread and apple spiced cake in a jar. Also regular old bread in a jar. Then as soon as it comes out of the oven you place the lid on and screw the ring around it. Within a couple of min. you begin to hear the lids popping and that lets you know that they are sealed and then safe for a short week or two of storage. The one thing I can tell you is that you must find Masson Jars that are straight up & down and use real butter to line jars before
cooking. This really works great. I just canned some chicken breast about a week ago, so we can use it when we go camping for shredded chicken tacos, chicken salad, chicken & rice. Really anything that you would use chicken in and they will store for up to a year. They taste better than any you could buy at the store too.

I forgot to tell you that when your ready to eat your cake or bread you just run a small knife around it and it slides right out. Easy

I've done boiling water bath canning for pickles, sauerkraut, etc. but never cared for canned vegetables so I never got into pressure canning. I know folks who regularly can beef, poultry, and the occasional venison. They say it's very, very good. I'm sure that's true because they have never offered to share. Raz


p.s. Hey Glenn, when is the last time you had a Ding Dong??

Probably 55 years ago.
They stopped making them a few years ago didn't they, or was that another like product.
But, I understand that if you bought one at that time, it would still be inedible. No typo.

Cathy (Avey)---can you elaborate on the method you use for canning your chicken breasts?

One thing I find a challenge is the storage of meat (raw/frozen) in our tiny freezer compartment...usually necessitating a trip to the store about every 2nd day. Being able to bring bottled meat might be one solution.

I tried the recipe yesterday and amazingly delicious! Everyone in my family love, loved it. I made two batches, one with reduced sugar, closer to a 1/4 cup and it still tasted great.

I would also like more info on how Cathy does chicken.

Hi, when you can things like vegetables and meat you need a canning pressure cooker. I need to stay away from soidum so a few years ago I picked one up, and have used it alot since. But it works great with all meat, even pre- cooked hambugar meat.
And you can be sure that right before my next trip I'm going to make up bread and cakes in mason jars in my oven and seal them up. I keep wondering if I made my stuff up a head of time in my jars and when cooled placed them in the freezer then take them out right before we leave to take with us, could I extend their shelf life. I have keep a jar of bread at home for an experiment in my pantry for five years to see just how long it would last before it started to grow mold. Still waiting! I won't ever eat it and some day I'll through it a way. So as far as keeping bread and cakes fresh and good tasting, I would give them a few weeks up to maybe a couple of months before the flavor starts to be effected.
I'm trying to find the best packing method, one thought is old sockes or whine bottles meshie things. Can anyone come up with a neat way to transport them without breaking the jars?
Have a wonderful day
Cathy

my ex safely brought wine bottles home from europe using tube sox. might serve 3 purposes: pack less sox & slide full jars in clean sox; eat the food & wear the sox; slide the empties in dirty sox for travel home. win-win lol!
