I baked this recipe for coworkers and it was a smash. Zer gut!

Okay,I got excited about doing this and tried in regular masons.Duh.But the good thing was that now I have a wonderful gift idea for Christmas.This is such a cute way to do bread.Now my imagination is going wild trying to figure out what other breads I can do in a jar.Not all was lost,my friends just have to eat the bread out of the jar this time.Yum.Thank you for such a cool idea.

The best banana bread I have ever had. I made it in the jars and I have also made muffins and loaves out of it. Very moist and a definate keeper.

Maybe I am being too critical.. I thought the bread left a bitter aftertaste. I will use the extreme banana bread recipe on this site inside the jars next time. I am going to have my spouse test it in the morning.. if he thinks it tastes good... i will give them away. If he agrees with me, I will throw it all away. I will not use this recipe next time. I will use the canning method with another recipe next time. plus, they only rose 2/3 of the way up.

DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!! adding extra bananas is even better. no cloves for me though.

I found this recipe on the site and had to try it. It was wonderful, I am sharing it with a friend that bakes banana nut bread every Christmas and freezes it, next year, she will not have to freeze it. Thank you to whoever came up with this recipe.

A delicious banana bread and a unique gift idea. I opened up one of the jars to try the bread (very moist and flavourful) and found it was easy to remove from the wide-mouthed jar (which was well greased - I ran a knife around the outside of the bread and tapped the jar mouth down on the counter; it slid right out). Thanks for sharing the recipe.

Great banana bread, great idea.

I am giving it 5 stars because it is a great baked-good idea but I used my banana recipe (also from this site), the original recipe is great but I prefer mine. Thank you! This one impresses everybody!!!!

I made them as gifts for the in-laws. I tried some of the bread and it was good. Hope they like it.

Very good! Worked as well as stated, and was very well received by those I presented it to. My daughters helped with decorating the lids with stamped labels. This will be a keeper in my stash of "holiday gift giving ideas"!

I have used this recipe (or one like it) in the past. I do not remember worrying about the shelf life or even keeping it in the fridge. Does anyone have knowledge about this? To check for doneness, I used a long, thin, wooden kebob skewer. I used quart wide mouth jars. Attach a tag to the gift card suggesting that they first slice it in forths with a long knife. Then, lift out each wedge with the knife. Warming it first sounds like a good idea.

Just wanted to say that i just made this for my kids teachers at school and of coarse i had to sample it before i send it to school and OMG it is delicious!I didnt add the cloves.Have to say that i will be making this recipe again,even my husband LOVED it and he is very picky.Thanks again!

A friend and I have been making these, with many variations, for years. They're always very well-received gifts and we put an expiration date on the label of ONE YEAR after we've made them. We also don't refrigerate them; I found a year-old one in the back of my cupboard a while back and it was delicious!

Love this recipe! I have made it twice and each time I try something different, I did use half the cloves that was suggested and added coconut, cranberry flavored crasins and a cup of applesauce. I decorated the jars and gave to co-workers they all loved it.

I can't believe how easy this was, expecially for a person who cans all summer. I had to purchase jars at Walmart for 8.99. I used 1 cup of mixture(no extra) Used my canning guide that sits on top of the jar to put my batter in, no mess at all. Baked on the racks and tested with my long Pampered Chef tester. Baked so Pretty....Added a christmas fabric under the lid and added the straw like string, can't remember what it's called.lol...Printed a tag from my Christmas Cookies Goose berry cookbook and added the 30 second microwave instruction to the tag. I added 2 teaspoons of vanilla to my double batch of bread and substituted walnuts for the pecans. I left out the cloves. It was wonderful. I can't wait to give it to my co-workers. I even have my nurse manager friend making it for her nurses in obstetrics and she's never canned a day in her life. I doubled the recipe and it made 12 jars and 3 minature pans. Of course we had to try it also..... It was Great.. Thanks for the wonderful recipe.
