I think I found your channel last week. I've been canning peaches and peach pit jelly and teaching my 13 year old daughter to can pickles (for 4H). She's canned squash pickle medley today and bread and butter pickles and has relish salting now and I just took a good deal of the leftover cucumbers for pickle relish. I have about 15 qts of chopped cucumbers and onions in my big mixing bowl now. Thanks for keeping me company while I chopped cucumbers.

I love the idea of a spread sheet. I made one for my spices but It needs to be updated. I am recovering from lymphoma cancer so my energy is in slow motion. but I am doing something every few days. Yesterday I picked tomatoes and went to the store to purchase peppers 🌶 because something ate most of mine. Today I put tomatoes in the freezer and later tonight I hope to make pepper jelly. Tomorrow I pick up my azure standard with 2 boxes of peaches and 30 lbs of corn to work through. I am really enjoying your videos. And want to steal your vacuum sealer 🤓

You can make individual snack packs etc. would be perfect to pack and seal the peanut butter. I have a Food Saver, however, I like the portability of the Power XL. What do you make with the buttermilk powder? I just got some from Azure and I thought I could make some ranch dressing mix

I'm a Helicopter Mechanic but with the cost of living up there, I'm trying to find a company that pays really well.. Haha! I live in Yuma, AZ and it's a sandbox here!

(We did save up and have a plan) my son snd husband were out fishing while I made this video yesterday. Nothing like it in the world. I hope your dreams come true.

@modernhomesteadalaska Жыл бұрын

That is a great question. Yes you should have. The storage I’m working on I have the goal of only 1 year and to rotate through it. I’m not where I’m putting back for 20-30 years. Getting the oxygen out is they key so weather it’s with an absorber or with a sealer for short term it doesn’t matter to me. But fir 20-30 years I would have both put an oxygen absorber and still sealed it.

nice! so how long will your spices from azure last after being vacuum sealed and stored? haven’t thought about doing this, but may add to my order for this purpose.

@modernhomesteadalaska Жыл бұрын

Ummm well spices don’t actually go bad they loose flavor. So resealing the spices every time you open can make them last 3-4 years according to some studies. I try and do more around 1-2 years of a spice on hand and not try and push that 3-4 year mark. If you don’t get the air out 6 months to a year is all a spice lasts
