If' you're not up for canning it, try the cake anyway. Apple Cake is a dense rich cake full of spicy aromas and flavors. It is good eats-- especially served with a lemon sauce.

Apple Cake in a Jar
2/3 cup shortening
2 2/3 cup sugar
4 eggs
1 teaspoons cinnamon
2 teaspoons baking soda
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
3 cups flour
2/3 cup water
3 cups grated, peeled apple
2/3 cups rasins
2/3 cup chopped nuts
Mix ingredients together. Sterilize 7-9 wide mouth pint jars and lids. Grease each jar with shortening. Fill each jar 1/2 full. Bake the cakes on the middle rack of the oven at 325 for 45 minutes. (lids off)
The last 5 minutes the jars are in the oven, boil the lids and rims.
Remove one jar from the oven. Wipe the the rim of the jar clean. Place a rim and lid on. Let cool on a cooling rack over night. Repeat the process with each jar, keeping space on the cooling rack for air circulation.
Will keep one year. Each pint serves 4-6 easily.
