ANSWER Donna Beyerbach, Oakdale, wanted a recipe
for zucchini cake that is canned in ajar. Thanks to Pat Chance,
Clayton, Del., who writes that her family published a cookbook
in which this recipe was included.
3 eggs
1 cup oil
2 cups sugar
3 cups flour
3 teaspoons vanilla
3 teaspoons cinnamon
2 cups zucchini, grated
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon baking soda
% teaspoon baking powder
Vs cup chopped nuts
'k cup raisins (optional)
Beat eggs until light and fluffy. Add vanilla, oil, sugar, and
zucchini. Mix lightly, but well. Add flour, soda, salt, cinnamon,
and baking powder. Add nuts and raisins, and mix well, use
wide-mouth pint canning jars. Spray inside of jars with veget
able spray. Place jars on cookie sheet and fill half full. Do not fill
over half full with batter. This is very important. Bake at 325
degrees for 45 minutes. Have round disks cut from waxed pap
er ready and when cooking time is up place waxed paper disks
in top of jar and seal immediately with lids and rings. Be sure
waxed paper fits down inside of jar and does not lay on edge of
jar. Jars are extremely hot, so be very careful. Makes 5 or 6
jars.
This same procedure can be used for pumpkin bread, bana
na bread, etc.
Note; This is a nice shelf item for drop in guests. Good with
cream cheese.
CORRECTION Ruth Bricker, Glen Rock, writes that the
recipe for Spiced Tomato Jam, which appeared in the Oct 10
issue, should read 4’/ 2 cups sugar and not 3 cups.

Sports Laundry
Athletic uniforms are a real
challenge as you try to remove
perspiration, mud, grass stains and
still keep the outfits looking sharp.
Most sport uniforms are made of
synthetic fibers such as nylon,
polyester, spandex or a blend of
fibers. Read and follow the in
structions for laundering on the
tag in the garment precisely.
One of the biggest problems is
dye bleeding. The Care labels re
commend cold water to prevent
fading and dye transfer. If you fol
low the directions and the color
bleeds, return to the manufacturer.
Be aware that detergents do not
activate in water temperature be
low 65 degrees F. If the tempera
ture of the water in the tub of the
washer is too cold for your hands,
the detergent will not activate and
clean effectively, according to the
Maytag Company. If the water is
very cold, you may need to add
some warm to bring the temper
ture up to between 65 and 75 de
grees to activate the detergent. In
general, the liquid formula deter
gents work better in cold water
than powdered types.
• Pre-treat mud, grass and blood
before washing with a pre-treat
laundry product
• Detergents and pre-treaters
lose their effectiveness after 30
minutes of soaking. Extended
soaking is not recommended and
may result in redeposition of soil.
• Dry athletic uni
forms using low
temperatures. Shrink
age and permanent
wrinkles may result
from high dryer
temperatures. Immedi
ately remove uniforms
from the dryer when it
stops to prevent
wrinkles.
• Air dry sport uni
forms with laminated
numbers and letters.
When ironing, make
sure the iron is set at the
proper setting. An iron
temperature set for low,
such as polyester, is
usually safe for the fab
ric.
