Banana Bread in a Jar
"This recipe is designed to fit into wide mouth, one-pint canning jars. You can pick up these jars in most grocery stores. A simple circle of cloth placed between the seal and the ring (of a two-part canning lid) makes a pretty effect and you could also add a ribbon around the ring."
