@@LoveMyCoffee10 my first instant pot scared me too. The pressure thing is not something I grew up using. But after a few years I learned to trust the safety measures and now it’s another tool in my kitchen. It was a stepping stone to deciding to try pressure canning with an actual canner. Nobody in my real life pressure cans so I’m very grateful to the KZfaq community for the information, step by step details along with safety precautions, and of course Carter’s delicious recipes! Definitely trying this one when I get a break from work!

@@LoveMyCoffee10 Watch a lot of you tube videos and start out doing simple things to build up your confidence. Even old canners, won't explode and kill you or blow off the kitchen roof. They had safety measures built in - relief valves. Yes the old stove top canners, you had to devote 75 ot 90 minutes of time to and watch the pressure gauge to make sure it stayed at a steady pounds per square inch. But that is very manageable. The more you use your caner the more confident you will feel.

Sorry haven't been around. Let me explain some English food to you. Shepherd's pie is lamb because Shepherd's look after sheep. Cottage pie is beef. This is how we remember it. What you made in the jar is actually something we call Savoury Mince not a stew. It is a meal in itself but we will often have extra vegetables on the side, normally something green. Restaurants will tend to use red wine in this recipe, where pub restaurants will use a stout or beer. I will also say that something we also do with this if we are cooking it at home is if we make a bigger batch, is on one day have it like you made it. Then the next day add a can of chopped tomatoes and alittle extra stock to make it into a soup. The tomatoes bring out more flavour, make the meal go further. We dip crusty bread into it.

So excited to see that you’re doing a shepherds pie recipe as I adore shepherds pie. Being from England I grew up eating this often and I must say I cook it with wine also. I really would be most interested to hear how you adapt certain recipes such as this one for canning to ensure safety and any precautions you consider. I know It is ill-advised to can leftovers because of the multiple factors that have to fall within specified parameters, which is why we are told to strictly follow canning recipes and not change the ratios of the vegetables etc. adding wine for example changes the ph. Being new to this I have lots of questions. 🧐🤔😁 Love your videos.

Good morning Carter from sunny Queensland Australia. I’ve been binge watching your channel since I stumbled across it a couple of weeks ago. The only thing I have ever canned is strawberry jam, but I’ve just ordered a proper water bath canner, and have asked my family for an AA910 for Christmas. I’ve also been slowly adding to my jar collection in readiness. It’s not very easy to find these things here, I have to order online. Would you mind doing a video (or a pinned post, if that is easier) of recipe books you recommend please. I have the Complete guide to home canning by USDA, The Ball complete guide to home preserving, The all new Ball book of canning and The complete guide to canning by Diane Devereaux. I also ordered Not your mama’s canning book by Rebecca Lindamood but it’s currently out of stock. I ask this as these hasn’t been a recipe that you’ve made that I haven’t like the look of!

Welcome, Tamilou! I'm happy to have you here. Water bath canning is primarily used for high acid foods (or acidified foods), such as fruits and pickles, jams and jellies, salsas, etc. Pressure canning is used for low acid foods like meats, beans, veggies, soups, etc. If you have a large stockpot, you can use that as a water bath canner for small batches. Here's a video on how to do that: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/qp1gedB0l-DQg5s.html. You can also use most any pressure canner as a water bath canner, as long as it is tall enough to cover your jars with a couple inches of water at a rolling boil. If you are looking at pressure canner, be sure that the one you buy says it is a pressure canner, NOT a pressure cooker. If it's in your budget, I love this one for beginners: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e95dm9ho38i-iYU.html Hope that helps!

Hey, Judy! I think that with a side salad and a chunk of bread, a pint and a half would be good. My husband and I split a pint with a really big kale salad, and both of us ran out of stew too soon. 😉

Hey, Mary! Isn't it awesome? My daughter gave it to me years ago for Christmas. I believe she got it at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I just took a quick look at their site and Amazon, but I don't see it. Sorry!

Carter.... You're playlist is getting FULL... Do I have to use an expensive red wine... Or will the less expensive work as well?? The reason I ask is because I don't drink wine and therefore know NOTHING about it... Thank You in advance 🤗🤗🙏 Kendra
@growandpreserve9 ай бұрын
Less expensive is fine. Just get a Malbec or a Merlot, but it can be cheap.

I really want to get this on my shelf, but don’t have time to do it all in one day. Would it be possible to break it up into a couple of different sessions?
@growandpreserve9 ай бұрын
Sure. You could stop just before you put it in jars. Put the pot in the fridge. The next day you could reheat, load the jars and can. You could even chop the onions, carrots and celery the day before you start.

Do you think that I can make that recipe using ground pork? I live on a farm, we butchered our pig and have plenty of ground pork in the freezer.

Definitely, just drain the fat well, so you don't end up with a greasy sauce.

Suzanne, if you have any ideas, I’m happy to adjust something. I’ve had a couple other folks in the past year with the same issue, but I have no idea why it happens.

I have had that happen to me on occasion while using earbuds. I typically use only one side at a time (left ear/right ear) so I get twice the listening time. Occasionally, I’ll come across a video that I’ll need to switch earbuds on because the sound will only come out of one earbud 🤷🏻♀️. Not sure of your situation, but thought I’d share in case your situation is similar.

Welcome, Jean! I am not an expert on water bath canning low acid foods, but the Amish community here in the US does. So I don’t steer you wrong, search Google for Amish water bath canning chart. You will want to use meat times for this recipe. Hope that helps!

Why do you cook the veggies?
@growandpreserve9 ай бұрын
Primarily because I want the veggies to really become part of the meat/sauce. It's what makes this such a great dish. You'll notice I put the potatoes in late because I do not want them to dissolve into the dish.

I don’t see your vinegar bottle in your store.
@growandpreserve8 ай бұрын
Do you mean the oil and vinegar bottles in the cabinet next to the stove? I have a love/hate relationship with them. They work well for oils, but they have not been a winner for vinegars because the vinegars form mothers, and it gets to be a clogged up mess. The green glass bottles I use for oils are no longer available on Amazon. These are the clear ones I use for vinegars: amzn.to/47QZfje
