~ Pina Colada Bread Mix in a Jar ~
1--20oz can pineapple, crushed
1 cup margarine, room temperature
3 1/2 cups brown sugar (packed)
4 eggs, whipped
1/2 cup rum
3 1/3 cups unbleached flour
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1 tsp baking soda
1 cup coconut, shredded
Preheat oven at 325F
Before starting batter, wash 8 (1 pint)
wide mouth canning jars with lids in hot
soapy water and let drain, dry, and cool
to room temperature. Generously prepare
jars with cooking spray and flour. Drain
pineapple for 10 minutes, reserving juice
Puree drained pineapple in a blender. Measure
out 1 1/2 cups puree, adding a little juice if
necessary to make 1 1/2 cups. Set puree aside
Discard remaining juice. In a mixing bowl,
combine applesauce, half brown sugar until
light and fluffy. Beat in eggs and pineapple
puree. Set aside. In another mixing bowl,
combine flour, baking powder, and baking soda
Gradually, add to pineapple mixture in thirds,
beating well with each addition. Stir in coconut
Spoon 1 level cupful of batter into each jar
Carefully wipe rims clean, then place jars on
baking sheet (or they'll tip over) in the center
of oven. Bake 40 minutes Keep lids in hot water
until they're used. When cakes are done, remove
jars, which are hot, from oven one at a time. If
rims need cleaning, use moistened paper towel
Carefully put lids and rings in place, then
screw tops on tightly shut. Place jars on a
wire rack; they will seal as they cool
Tie a homespun fabric bow around the lid
Attach jar labels
