Cream together shortening and sugar. Beat eggs and water onto the mixture, set aside. In a separate bowl, sift together flour, baking powder, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, and cloves. Add to sugar mixture and mix well. Add chopped pecans and applesauce. Mix gently but thoroughly. Sterilize 9 wide-mouth pint jars. Air dry. Spray jars with non-stick cooking oil. Be careful not to get on rim or lid will not seal. Fill the jars half-full with bread mixture (approximately 3/4 c.) Place jars on cookie sheet. Bake jars with batter at 325 for 45 minutes. Allow to cool slightly and seal tightly with sterilized lids and bands (per manufacturer.) When ready to serve, spoon out of jars or “pour out” bread from jar and slice. This bread keeps fresh for awhile. However, it is not truly “canned” to verify no bacteria growth possible. It makes a fun hospitality gift. Can make bread as a loaf and bake as you would normally.
