Does anyone have a recipe or know of a good website where I could find the recipes for?!
You know where you've got all the dry ingredients layered in a jar, and then you decorate the jar as a gift with a label providing the gift recipient directions???
I think I've seen recipes before for things like Chocolate Chip cookies... but I don't know where...
Anyone have OTHER recipes in a jar that look pretty when layered and taste yummy when the recipient makes them?
THANKS in advance!
Answers: those mixes in a jar?

SPICE CAKE IN A JAR
2/3 c. shortening
2 2/3 c. sugar
2 c. applesauce
2/3 c. water
4 eggs
2/3 c. nuts (optional)
3 1/3 c. flour
1/2 tsp. baking powder
1 1/2 tsp. salt
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. baking soda
Cream shortening and sugar; add applesauce, water and eggs; mix well. Mix dry ingredients in another bowl and add to first mixture. Add nuts (or raisins) if desired. Spray wide mouth pint jars with Pam and fill about 1/2 full. This will fill 6 to 8 jars. Bake at 325 degrees exactly 45 minutes. Remove jars one at a time and quickly screw the lid on each jar. Let set until ready to eat. When you use canning jar lids this cake has a shelf life of a year. A great gift idea!

1 c. cornstarch
2 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. nutmeg

Cook syrup (sugar, cornstarch, cinnamon, nutmeg, salt and water) until thick and bubbly. Add lemon juice. Peel and slice apples. Fill quart jars tightly. Cover with syrup. Process 20 minutes in a water bath. Yields 28 cups sliced apples. Keep in pantry and when you are hungry for apple pie just pour 1 quart into an unbaked 8 inch pie shell and bake at 400 degrees for 50 minutes.

it's really simple! I do this for the holidays all the time! you just get your fav cookie,cake,brownie recipe. and layer all the dry ingredients! then you decorate your jar and have a cute little decorative piece of paper with all the wet ingredients they will need and the instructions on how to make the goodies! ( if your sending them out for Christmas I would cut white piece of paper into a Christmas tree shape and write the info! then I would cut out the same shape in a dark green construction paper and maybe a little bigger then the white and then cut out colorful ornaments and a star! just have fun with it! be creative!!
