Strawberry Cheesecake In A Jar Recipes

Steps:

• Mix graham cracker crumbs, melted butter, and 1/4 cup sugar together in a bowl. Press 1/4 the graham cracker mixture into the bottom of each jar.
• Beat cream cheese and whipped topping together with an electric mixer in a bowl until well blended. Beat 2/3 cup sugar and vanilla extract into cream cheese mixture until smooth and fluffy. Spoon 1/4 the cream cheese mixture onto graham cracker crust in each jar. Top each cheesecake with sliced strawberries. Refrigerate cheesecakes until serving time.

Steps:

• Blitz the biscuits to crumbs in a food processor or in a bowl with the end of a rolling pin. Divide the biscuit crumbs between the jars.
• In a large bowl, whisk the cream cheese, cream, 5 tbsp icing sugar and the vanilla extract until softly whipped. Tip half the strawberries and the remaining sugar into another bowl and crush with a fork to a purée. Ripple the purée through the cream and divide between the jars. Top each cheesecake with remaining strawberries, secure the lids and chill until ready to pack up. Transport in a cooler bag.

Steps:

• Stir together cookie crumbs, butter, and 2 tablespoons sugar in a bowl until blended. Divide mixture evenly among jars (about 3 1/2 tablespoons each) and gently press (do not pack) into bottoms.
• Halve 6 strawberries for garnish, and set aside. Chop remaining strawberries.
• Beat together cream cheese, lemon juice, and 1/2 cup sugar in bowl with an electric mixer at medium speed until smooth. Fold in whipped cream and chopped berries, and divide evenly among jars (about 1/2 cup each). Top each with a 2 berry halves and cover with lids. Chill at least 2 hours and up to 3 days.

Steps:

• Cream shorting and sugar; add the eggs, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and spices.
• Add the water alternately with the flour. Stir in nuts and strawberries.
• Grease 8 pint size jars that have been washed in hot soapy water and allowed to dry (grease by using a brush dipped in melted shorting). Fill each jar 1/2 full of batter, wipe the rim and bake in a 325°F oven on a cookie sheet for 35 to 45 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in a large pot. Once it's boiling, turn it off and add the lids and rings. Let stay in hot water for 10 minutes or more. Do not remove until ready to use.
• When cakes are done, remove jars one at a time. Wipe the rim and place the lid on top. Screw the ring on tight and allow to rest until completely cool. The jars will seal on their own as they cool.
• Makes 8 pint size jars, and will store up to 6 months in a cool dry place.
• If giving as a gift, cover lid with pretty fabric and attach a card with the name of cake, date made, and expiration date. If not for a gift, just write it on the lid with a marker.
• When ready to eat, if cake does not come out easily, run under hot water for a few seconds or microwave for 2 seconds with the lids removed.
• Store in refrigerator once opened and eat with in 2 days.

• "These products are not recommended for canning. Choose recipes that you can freeze. In fact, most of these products are not really "canned." The directions call for baking in the jar and then closing with a canning lid. Many recipes for quick breads and cakes are low acid and have the potential for supporting the growth of bacteria like Clostridium botulinum if it is present inside the closed jar. You will see these products made commercially; however, additives, preservatives and processing controls not available for home recipes are used. Canning jar manufacturers also don't endorse baking in their canning jars.
