Ingredients

• 3.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 2 cups Granulated sugar
• 2 teaspoons Baking soda
• 1 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
• 1 teaspoon Ground nutmeg
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 4 large Eggs
• 1 cup Vegetable oil
• 0.67 cup Water
• 15 ounces Pumpkin puree (unsweetened)
• 6 pieces Canning jars (8-ounce size)
• 0 Non-stick cooking spray

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 325°F (165°C).

Step 2

Thoroughly clean and dry six 8-ounce canning jars. Spray the inside of each jar with non-stick cooking spray to prevent the bread from sticking.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour, granulated sugar, baking soda, ground cinnamon, ground nutmeg, and salt. Stir well to ensure the dry ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs, vegetable oil, water, and pumpkin puree until smooth and well-blended.

Step 5

Gradually add the wet mixture to the dry ingredients, stirring until a smooth batter forms. Avoid overmixing.

Step 6

Using a spoon or funnel, carefully fill each prepared canning jar with the batter until it reaches about two-thirds full. Do not overfill to give the batter room to rise.

Step 7

Place the jars directly on a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 35-45 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted in the center of a jar comes out clean.

Step 8

While the bread is baking, prepare the jar lids and rims by boiling them in water for 10 minutes to sterilize them.

Step 9

Once the bread is fully baked, carefully remove the jars from the oven. Wipe the rims of the jars clean with a damp paper towel to ensure a good seal.

Step 10

Immediately place the sterilized lids and rims on the jars and tighten them. As the jars cool, you’ll hear a popping sound, indicating the jars have sealed properly.

Step 11

Allow the jars to cool completely on a wire rack. Once cooled, check the lids to make sure they are sealed firmly. Store in a cool, dark place for up to 6 months.
