Do you pressure cook? I'd love a video on that 🙂
Started pressure canning a few weeks ago. I've made a few batches of various soups and chili. My goal is to have a 30 day supply of food here at home for the covid-19 pandemic. If we get sick, we are doing the socially responsible thing, and not leaving the house for a month.
Watching this in 2020, damn I already forgot what the old kitchen looked like !! 😀
I appreciate all of your hard work. Your a really good teacher!!!
You have helped me in one of the hardest times of my life. You are truly a Sheppard. I have noticed in your later videos that you have moved away from your spiritual messages. I bless you. Instead of God bless you.
First year gardener, just received my Ball Canning book. So excited for future canning possibilities. Love your videos.
thank you so much for this video! This is so helpful and gives me hope I cant wait to start canning soon! eeee 🙂
Just fyi if you can find the old glass mayonnaise or miracle whip jars that will work too. My mother and all 5 of my grandmothers used them with now problems. And will use same size rings and lids as the Mason ir Kerr jars.
I have been canning for decades and your video is the very best and in my opinion, most helpful canning video I have watched. Thanks for all you do Jess.
26 Year's ago, I got very ill, Doctors couldn't figure it out, litterally right before I was about to die, they rushed the room, slapped a Pillow on my Food table, told me to lean over it, numbed me up , cut my back open, stuck a tube in me and said, Mrs.Briggs , your Uncle you were taking care of before he died, had TB. You have a full blown case of Tuberculosis. I was Pregnant with my Youngest Daughter and scared to death !! Moral of the story ? Daughter ended up just fine, bouncing baby Girl, 10 Pound Baby , NO TB , and as healthy as can be….it happens sometimes, and I got better, meds for 2 years and I'm good now…don't overthink thing's, God will lead you through it 🙂
I use the 2 quart canning jars for so many things! Storage of rice or beans, etc., I also bought a poring lid, so i can use the 2 quarts jars for pitcher. Great for iced tea!
About the weck jars. I am Dutch and we use the weck jars. the jars you use are cheaper to buy … but … in the long run they are more expensive than weck. because the rubber rings really last for years before they need to be replaced. and the pots are much thicker so less likely to break.
That’s being said, i love your videos.
THANK YOU! I am very new to this journey and i am excited top learn from you.
I found your YouTube channel not too long ago and I’ve been hooked! We are looking at getting land to have our own “hobby farm”.. I’ve enjoyed your videos so far!
I love useless trivia!!
How do get crisp pickles?
Your kitchen is so much nicer now a days! Good job Miah!
16:25 couldn't be truer. Watching this in 2021 during pandemic.
You can use the off brand ones for storing dehydrated food that is vacuum sealed.
Pressure canning scares me a bit. I think mostly because nI had a glass top stove and they said not to do it on one. Now I have a gas stove so I think it will be better.
What if the canning ring is dented? Do you reuse those or no
I enjoy preserving food, I dry, ferment, pickle, freeze, etc. But I am admittedly, unreasonably afraid of pressure canning for one reason; botulism. I am petrified that I will somehow misread a recipe, misunderstand an instruction, mismeasure an ingredient or somehow make a mistake that will end up poisoning us all with botulism. I just can't shake the worry, unless I can find some very experienced pressure canning acquiantence to come watch over my shoulder my first several times to make sure I'm d oing it right. It's frankly quite embarrassing that I haven't overcome this hurdle yet. It's my white whale, the one self sufficiency skill that eludes me entirely. I hope someday to be lucky enough to come across a friendly expert willing to take me under their wing so I can finally fulfill my canning dreams!
Look at you in your old kitchen!
Thanks for the history lesson! My kids think you should learn French.
I'm absolutely addicted to your channel and just ordered your book! I cant wait!! Can you share your canning recipes? I love bread and butter pickles!!!
Thanks so much for the detailed series. I needed this to help me get going! Love your channel.
can you make the pressure canning video?
