Directions:

1. Preheat the oven to 350°F. Generously grease a 9-x-5-inch loaf pan and set aside.

2. Place all of the jar ingredients in a medium-sized bowl, and stir until well combined. Set aside.

3. Place the buttermilk, butter, eggs, and vanilla in a large bowl, and cream with a whisk, fork, or an electric mixer set on low speed.

4. Add the dry ingredients to the milk mixture, and stir with a wooden spoon until just mixed. Do not overstir. Pour the batter into the prepared loaf pan.

5. Bake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center of the loaf comes out clean. Cool for 10 minutes in the pan. Then remove the bread and cool completely on a wire rack.

6. Serve immediately, or store in an airtight container for up to 1 week.
