How to Make Pumpkin Bread In Jar

Preheat oven to 325°F (160°C). Grease eight wide-mouth pint-sized canning jars.
In a large bowl, cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened shortening and 1 ¾ cups granulated sugar until light and fluffy.
Beat in 4 large eggs one at a time, then stir in 1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin puree and ½ cup water.
In a separate bowl, whisk together 3 cups all-purpose flour, 2 teaspoons baking soda, 1 teaspoon baking powder, 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon, ½ teaspoon ground cloves, ½ teaspoon ground nutmeg, and ½ teaspoon ground ginger.
Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, mixing until just combined. Be careful not to overmix.
Stir in 1 cup chopped walnuts or pecans (optional).
Divide the batter evenly among the prepared jars, filling each about halfway.
Place the jars in a baking pan and add enough hot water to come halfway up the sides of the jars (this creates a more even baking environment).
Bake for 45-55 minutes, or until a wooden skewer inserted into the center comes out clean. Baking time may vary depending on your oven.
Carefully remove the jars from the oven and let them cool in the pan for 10 minutes.
Remove jars from the pan and wipe down any spills. Let cool completely.
Seal the jars with new lids while still warm. The heat will help create a good seal.
