Your canning courses have been a Godsend, especially for an absolute newbie like me! You took all the things that scared me about canning and eliminated them with sound information. I look forward to getting your fermentation classes! God bless.
Thanks im a newish canner yall explain things so well love these wkly chats👍👍👍❤❤❤
If you buy a Ball Blue Book of Preserving for $10 or less…it will tell you everything you need to know. Plus it has hundreds of recipes.
I am new to your Homestead Channel, one of my Employees wife told me about you. I have a large farm here in Northern Arkansas that several Employee families live here on the farm. One Mexican family, 3 mennonite families and a widow LDS lady and me. All have there own homes. We fenced in about 6 acres with high fence to keep out deer, elk, bear and wild hogs. This is our garden and orchard. In that area I built a tool shed / garden tractor Storage, also a canning shed/ slaughterhouse. All concrete walls and floor with drain. There are 3 old Gas stoves 2 commercial refrigerators and 4 large chest freezers. With a 4’ x 16’ stainless steel table down the middle. I am 70 and have been farming sense 1977 and live here sense 1988.
I love you!!!! God Bless you!!!
Hearing about what people do instead of just following safe, tested canning methods by the National Center for Home Preservation, breaks my brain.
Also, don’t stack your jars! People want to go nuts canning, but don’t have shelf space for all these flats of jars. Jars can’t be stacked because the seals will break!
You were the first canning videos I saw which encouraged me to start canning. I live in a small one bedroom apartment in hot AZ but I have managed to make it work and found creative ways to can in a very small kitchen and ways to store them. Thank you for sharing your wisdom!
Great explanation of the difference between water bath canning and pressure canning. I make my own chicken stock but I struggle with storing it in my tiny apartment freezer. You’re making me think about investing in a pressure canner. I think one year of chicken stock would pay for the canner. Great video thanks
16 qt presto is affordable new. Using mine a lot the last 5 years.
Stock was the reason i got my pressure canner last year, and now i use it for so much more! Was definitely worth it even if just for stock though 😊
Does that mean we will have mire Grandma Jean stories? I really enjoyed the one you did with her
Wow, thanks so much for explaining how pressure canning works! I have always wondered what the pressure was adding to the process.
I just ordered my pressure canner and know I have a bit of a learning curve. Thank you for your videos.
Make sure the jar rims are clean(use vinegar soaked rag if canning meat) and proper head space for good seals, imo. You don’t want any product in the boil water, it means there was back flow from one or more jars and that product under the seal can slowly(as it rots) cause a seal fail.
I have just started convenience canning just this year. It’s wonderful! I’ve made beef stew and vegetable stew so far, and looking for other recipes to make.
I can beans and “mixed beans,” meat broth, veggie broth, vegetables…so it’s easy to open several jars for a quick soup. But those finished recipes are even easier.
Love your pantry chats, thank you. Your “downstairs canning kitchen” has inspired us to revamp the current basement kitchen, instead of ripping it out. It’s a walkout basement, so there’s light, too. AND easy access to the gardens.
Hi guys – great info as always – would you mind shedding some light on ways to store flour, rice and other dried goods for long term storage? There are many videos out there but what is the safest method? Thanks a mil.
I don’t know many home canners, but I wish I had learned it 20+ years ago. I buy chicken leg quarters frozen in 10lb bags for 25¢ to 49¢ a lb. Or pork butts and turkey at 99¢ a lb. And can em up. Compared to the price of store bought canned meat, my 1 quart wide mouth jars pay for them selves after one use. Buy the meat on sale in bulk and can it up. Have all the fully cooked meat ready to use any time you want ready to go in any recipe you want. Also pairs well with those buckets of survival meals, imo.
michaelbizon444 Where do you find meat at those prices? Usually I find it for no less that 99 cents a pound, mostly $1.19 or more.
@Janice Crowell rural Missouri and Texas chain grocery stores. The Pork butts is only for a short part of the year I think. And the turkey is seasonal. Just picked up 56lbs of pork a few weeks a go, $55.44 tax free, luv TX 10lbs chicken @ 25¢ a lb 10lb bag leg quarters

https://imgur.com/a/5yaFRVO one of those pork butts now canned up. No grease in the boil water. 9xone qt wide mouth jars.
Wish I had a knowledgeable guy in my life. My brain explodes just thinking about a generator. How do you store the gasoline?
Been canning for years…now Im doing more of the meal in jars and I in no way have all the answers. Love learning!
After learning to can from you I came across information about cooking a whole chicken, canning the broth and then canning the chicken. I bought a chicken to do this, but now I can’t find the recipe. I’m wondering if you posted it or if I found it somewhere else. Can you help me with this?
I got the canning class when it was on sale and I LOVE it. I have learned so much. And have canned james, meat, broth, and vegetables! And will continue to can. Her class is wonderful.
During these uncertain times I am canning, dehydrating and vacuum sealing everything I can get my hands on
I watched your venison stew video yrs ago. It’s a staple in my house now. And if that 8 point keeps showing up in my yard. Come hunting season I will be putting more of that on the shelf. Do you have a video of your convenient foods similar to that? I’m sure there’s all sorts of soups and stews.
Thank you Carolyn that was an absolutely super video with so many nuggets to clarify and simplify canning. I am definitely going to your website to look at the series
I love your channel, energy and lifestyle!!! You guys are fantastic people that I truely look up to!
I can’t find any specific videos on this from your channel, but can you teach us how to can potatoes without a pressure cooker? Is it safe/possible?
