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.

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.

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.

This recipe was so easy. I gave it as a Christmas gift to my family members (being that I am a college student with very little time to do much else). Everyone loved it. I kept one for myself to try and had nothing bad to say. It slid out of the jar perfectly and was delicious!

I've got great reviews from my frinds on this recipe. The bread itself is delicious, and the idea of baking it in the jars is just great! It amazes everybody. Love it!

This was delicious and got rave reviews at outreach prayer. The only thing I did differently is to bake it in a loaf pan for about an hour. (I made 2 loaves, one 8x4 and one 9x?) I also followed the advice of one reviewer and sprinkled the pan with cinnamon sugar. Made a delicious loaf of bannana bread. Will be making this often.

This was just GrEaT!! I honestly was not sure what to expect when I first read the recipe, but after reading all the reviews I had to try it and I was not at all disappointed. The only spice I used was Cinnamon and I forgot the nuts (distracted by the kids). I used a Kerr wide-mouth Mason jar, but I did still have a bit of difficulty getting it out of the jar..I am going to search for the wide-mouth straight side jars and I am sure they will work much better. The bread is so good and moist- my family loved it and I plan to bake dozens of these around the holidays and decorate the jars. EnJoY!!

I am so impressed with this!! I can't wait to make these for the holidays. Next time, I will only use 1/4 tsp cloves, 1/2 tsp of nutmeg, and add another cup of banana. Yummy!!

FANTASTIC!!!!Kids loved it in bundt cake form or muffin form. Reduced cloves by half and left out nuts for them. Stays moist for days. This is replacing my other recipe for banana cake that I've been using for years. A GREAT FIND.

I was just talking to my friend who is over seas for our country and we were talking about food. He asked me if I ever heard of bread in a jar, No I said. when done talking to him I searched the internet and found this. I was thrilled and now I will be making this for him to send over to him and his crew. I hope they all will enjoy it. And of course I have to keep 1 for me. Thanks for the recipe

I made this over the holidays. It was raw on the inside and did not come out of the jar. I was really disappointed bc I spent a lot of time following the directions and I am not the best cook in the world. Clearly, I had to of made an error bc this recipe has very good reviews

This recipe is very good and makes a great gift. However, I decided to coat the jars witha sugar and cinnamon mix after greasing. This gives the bread a great coating upon removal. I also increased the bananas to make it have a little more flavor.
