_________________________

Scrub potatoes (large or small).

If small, (the size of a 1/2 dollar);

just cut in 1/2

If large, cut them up in chunks,

about 1/2 the size as if you were to boil them.

Put all the cut up Potatoes in a large bowl.

If you have ever craved Banana Bread, (or others)

Than this hint is for you.

.

Mix up the Batter as you normally would. Then follow these instructions.

.

1. Wash and Sterilize an ample amount of Large Mouth Pint Canning Jars.

................They must be Large Mouth Pints.

2. Grease the inside of sterile jars with Margarine.

3. Pour Batter into jars, leaving about 1 1/2 inch space from top.

4. Set filled jars on a cookie sheet and bake. Test, to see if all are done.

5. Have sterile Canning lids & Rings ready to use.

6. When done, shut off oven and take only 1 jar out of oven at a time.

7. Check to make sure the glass rim of the jar is still clean, with tip of finger. *

8. Instantly, set lid on jar and screw on the ring.... snug, but not tight, set aside.

9. Repeat for each jar, one at a time. Do not let them cool until after lids are on.

10. These jars should seal. You have just Canned the Banana Bread for a later date.

11. When opened, the Bread will fall right out... Fresh.

.

* If Banana Bread rises above the top of jar rim, lay jar on side and slice off a taste.
