Ingredients

2/3	cup	vegetable shortening
2 2/3	cups	sugar
4	large	eggs
2	cups	applesauce
2/3	cup	water
3 1/3	cups	flour, all-purpose	sifted
1/2	teaspoon	baking powder
2	teaspoons	baking soda
1 1/2	teaspoons	salt
1	teaspoon	cinnamon
2	teaspoons	cloves, ground
2/3	cup	nuts	chopped (optional)

Directions

Preheat oven to 325-degrees.

Sterilize 5 straight-sided canning jars, lids and rings by boiling them for 15 minutes. Keep the lids and rings in the water until you're ready to use them.

Remove the jars from the water and place them on a clean dish towel to air-dry (up, not upside down). When the jars are cool enough to handle, grease the insides with shortening (DO NOT use butter, margarine, PAM or Baker's Secret); set aside.

Sift together the flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon and cloves; set aside.

Cream together the shortening and sugar. Beat in the eggs, one at a time until the mixture is light and fluffy. Add the applesauce and water. Blend the dry ingredients into the applesauce mixture. Fold in the nuts.; set aside.

Fill well greased jars half full. Place the jars onto a cookie sheet or they'll tip over.

Bake for 35 minutes or until a cake tester comes out clean.

Mixed Fruit Salad with Citrus Mint Dressing

Good breakfast recipe, I have done this fruit salad several times, it is really a good way to combine all these melon fruits together, fresh orange juice and chopped mint leaves give these mixed fruits delicious flavor, and it is always a good start with these nice fruits salad.
