    Recipe



    Mix the ingredients together in the order given. Sterilize 7 to 9 wide-mouth pint jars and lids. Grease them with shortening. Fill the jars half full ane bake on the middle rack in the oven. Bake for 45 minutes at 325~. As soon as the cake is done, remove the jars from the oven 1 at a time. Wipe the rim of the jar clean with a cloth and put on the hot sterilized lids. Screw down the bands and let cool. Important - Do not use small mouth jars. Do not add any other ingredients. As the cake cools in the sealed jar, it will pull away from the side of the jar and come out easily when read to serve. Slice and serve with LEMON SAUCE- In a pan thoroughly stir together the cornstarch, sugar and salt. Gradually stir in the boiling water, stirring constantly to keep it smooth. Continue stirring and cook over moderate heat until boiling. Boil gently for about 20 minutes. Remove from heat, add butter, lemon rind and juice. Stir throughly. Serve hot over apple cake.
