This is the link from NCHFP that states that you can substitute lemon juice for vinegar.

Can i ask whats on your hand is it pen or doodles. Xx
So I found your channel on accident but have loved every second.
Can you put lime in the salsa instead of lemon?
Hi Becky, and others. Love the videos. I'm thunking about getting a juicer, since seeing it in one of your earlier videos. Was it worth the price? Are you juat using it for apples? Would it work well for juicing pineapple peels/cores for juice? What about making grape juice for jelly? Would appreciate anyone's feedback
In case you didn't know, the outer shell of nutmeg is the spice mace. They just grind it up and it's mace.
Love your channel. I am 90% sure though that you cannot water bath can if any oil is involved. They need to be pressure canned in regards to roasting your tomatillo salsa .
WOW Becky this was fun! I actually watched it twice because last time I watched from my phone and for some reason or another I wasn't able to comment or like it. You are a joy to watch and listen to. You teach and your awesome at this homestead stuff. Thanks
@dnmichelle I do this at home as well. Because you can never predict who might be stopping by. Whether they want to taste what we’re cooking or if we’re sitting down for a meal we know there has been no double dipping.
I use a stool what I'm using my steam juicer as well but I also put a marble in the bottom of the juicer where the water is so that if it starts getting low or running out of water the marble will start to bounce and then I know and I can check.
Love this channel. New subbie.
I've been processing apples myself and I have learned from past experience that I sort the apples and the pristine ones go into my second fridge and can last a little bit and I have to process sooner rather than later the ones that have bug bites or blemishes. Don't beat yourself up about it. I think we have ALL had to learn that lesson. I am just in awe how much you do get done, so kudos to you! You're doing great 😀
I’ve never tried this before but could you use those apples intended for the chickens and instead make apple cider vinegar?
Kool, nice to know you got to injoy Jamaica. Nutmeg is a very nice spice. You can try our allspice too which you may know as pimento berries. The leaves are good too, they are used to make tea to reduce the chill in cold weather, the berries can be used too.
A little history the German army actually imported pimento from Jamaica to use in their shoes to ward off cold when they were fighting in the war.
I have meatless Mondays, (usually a pasta) Mexican Thursdays and fish Fridays. In between we have a pizza night (Saturdays) a ground beef night (varies seasonally between meatloaf, cheeseburgers, cottage pie, etc) and usually a chicken night which could be Asian, pot pie, grilled, salads, soup or a sheet pan dinner.
Nothing is written in stone but it makes an easy framework that ensures we have a good variety of proteins and cuisines in our diet. Cooking ahead and pre-portioning in freezer bags means I cook once and eat many times with just two of us. Ordering groceries online means I have to try to get to the minimum $ amount for pickup!
Do you ever find snakes in your garden? I really wish I had your kitchen. What size is it?
I was scrolling through YouTube when I just stumbled a across this channel. It was "sub" at first sight! I love the content. Looking forward to more.
I also use the juice extractor and I used a food mill to separate the peels and seeds once the juice is extracted. It makes wonderful applesauce and saves lots of time. I love your channel.
Becky….I always use chilled apple cider in my pie crust instead of water. It makes a wonderful and tasty crust, instead of the same old, same old!
Enjoy seeing you work with your family, Cooking comes so natural. Are you concerned about all the weight that is put on your glass top stove?. ie hot bathe and juicer
Really random question, but is tour left hand tattooed? I’ve never noticed ink on hour hand(s) before!
Hey Becky – have you looked into a steam canner? It seems that it would be such a time saver over a traditional water bath I’ve been considering getting one and you have such nice equipment and wondered if you had an opinion or have heard much about them. Thanks Pixie
Bummer about the apples. Only so much you can do especially with a full-time job. Good thing you have the chickens to help you out – they will love the bugs 🙂 Before my apple tree died so much that it doesn't fruit anymore we had the same problem. Bugs and rust – some of it to do with the variety as it wasn't as bug resistant (older variety of apple).
Hey if you turn it into chicken feed they will not be wasted, they will be eggs. You saved $$ on chicken feed. Added different vitamins & minerals to their diet as well.
It's the French Bulldog wandering around the kitchen with flour all over him for me. Adorable!
I always open a drawer next to the oven just enough to hold a gallon jar and drain it into said jar. I have little's and don't want them about to tip the jar at all, and I don't want something else for them to climb on.
Incredible!!
You and your pet chickens are the best.
