"I prefer to regard a dessert as I would imagine the perfect woman: subtle, a little bittersweet, not blowsy and extrovert. Delicately made up, not highly rouged. Holding back, not exposing everything and, of course, with a flavor that lasts."
Graham Kerr (the Galloping Gourmet)


"The dessert crowns the dinner. To create a fine dessert, one has to combine the skills of a confectioner, a decorator, a painter, an architect, an ice-cream manufacturer, a sculptor, and a florist. The splendour of such creations appeals above all to the eye - the real gourmand admires them without touching them! The magnificence of the dessert should not allow one to forget the cheese. Cheese complements a good dinner and supplements a bad one."
Eugene Briffault

Gingerbread Baked In Jars

 

Ingredients

2 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup granulated sugar
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp baking powder
1/4 tsp salt
2 tsp ground ginger
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1/2 tsp ground cloves
3/4 cup margarine, softened
3/4 cup water
1/2 cup molasses



 

Preparation

Preheat oven to 325-degrees (NO higher).

Sterilize 5 (12 oz) Ball Quilted Crystal (No14400-81400) jam/jelly
canning jars, lids and rings by boiling them for 15 minutes. Remove
the jars from the water and allow them to air-dry on your counter
top; leave the lids and rings in the hot water until you're ready to
use them.

Once the jars are cool enough to handle, use a pastry brush to
grease them with shortening (DO NOT use butter, margarine, PAM or
Baker's Secret); set aside.

In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar, baking soda, baking powder,
salt, ginger, cinnamon and cloves. Stir in margarine, water and
molasses until well blended. Divide batter among the 5 jars (they
should be about 1/2 full). Place jars onto a cookie sheet or they'll
tip over.

Bake in preheated 325-degree oven for 35 minutes or until cake
tester inserted in center comes out clean. Move the jars around in
the oven while they're baking, so they'll bake evenly.

Have your HOT lids ready. Using HEAVY-DUTY MITTS (the jars ARE
HOT!) Take one jar at a time from the oven and place a lid on, then
the ring. Tightly screw on lids--do it FAST because the lid gets REAL
hot! Allow jars to cool on your countertop.

Once the jars are cool, decorate with round pieces of cloth.
Unscrew the ring (the lid should be sealed by now) and place a few
cotton balls or a wad of batting on top of the lid (makes it poof-y
on top), then a piece of cloth (about 3" larger than the lid) on top
and screw the ring back on. Decorate as desired. I used pinking
shears to cut the cloth rounds out, otherwise some material will
start to unravel. A hot glue gun is INVALUABLE--glue on dried
flowers, bows, ribbons, etc.
