Your parenting skills are amazing. I never see you get upset, you are so patient ❤️❤️❤️ I think I have watched everyone of your videos and love them all. I was raised in foster homes from 6 grade on, my last home she did a lot of homemade (not as much as you) such a good cook. (I even called her mom). Always hold your head high!!!

I have learned so much from you! While watching one of your videos you said someone called you uneducated and you agreed because you only attended school to 8th grade. I completely disagree!! I attended college and was an A student throughout college but I didn’t know half of what you do about many subjects. Being “educated” doesn’t make a person Smart!! I just love you and your family and appreciate your teachings so much!

That little one that helped pack down the cabbage mixture will never forget working with his momma. I sit and smile.

Your my favorite homesteader. You’re so real. I can tell that your lifestyle has been your way of life. That’s why I like it so much because I grew up much the same way. I grew up milking cows raising hogs for meat. My dad actually free ranged his hogs and would gather them at certain times of the year. Anyway I love your channel. And I have shared it with so many people. Thank you!

Girl! You need a Bosch slicer/shredder attachment! Have been binge watching your channel for two weeks, I can’t get enough! Thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with me!

I am so tickled by the way you and your children interact. Seeing the “Little Boys” and how they help you so much is wonderful. I remember putting on my apron and putting my grandsons in their aprons so they could help me when I was cooking, mostly baking. They would sit on my lap while I was sitting at my embroidery sewing machine and let them push the buttons. They would look up at me and say “Now?” They were so excited to help me push buttons and slide the fabric under the presser foot. It was so wonderful! God was moving thru me even tho I was at that time practicing the worship of God, the Father. It has taken me time but now the boys are almost 18, 16, 13, 8, and 7. All boys plus three step-granddaughters that have no steps between me and them. My 4 year old granddaughter was diagnosed with ALL LEUKEMIA just 3 weeks ago. I am asking your followers to please pray for Merryn. She and the family are struggling at this time. We need all the support we can get thru God and ask for a total healing of this beautiful little girl. She has a big sister, 8 years old and they are very close. This is hard on Eleanor so I ask you to pray for her also. I pray that God will hear our prayers and thank you in advance for your kindness. We have not met but I still consider you a good friend, like so many others who watch you. May God Bless you and your family with good health and happiness.

What a nice helper...he brushes then bites them. Cutie

Very cool. I’ve never had it with mayo. We usually use sour cream. Thanks for your videos. Your family will always have these to look back on. I wish my Grandmas and my mom would have had videos. Many old family recipes get lost and forgotten over the years, your family will never have that problem along with the world.

I love watching your children jump in and help, also love watching them play. Family, work, play all wrapped in Love grows a good human. God Bless you all.

Your pepper cabbage looks delicious! Your daughter and children are such good help to you. Your pigs and chickens sure loved the scraps.

I think you are a wonderful mom. And it’s great how you take time teaching your son. He will really appreciate that when he gets older. That cabbage slaw looked delicious!

I have been canning for about 4 years I thought the water had to be 1 to 2 inches above the jar lids for water bath canning the coleslaw looks wonderful

This is living the life. You must feel so blessed. We have a crop of more cabbage than our neighbor and we can eat. I thought I’d give canning some a try. I love this method you’ve shared. So glad to have found you.

I think this is the fifth time i've watched you do this. My cabbage is all cut up. And i'm ready to go.

I love that you have your kids helping you in the garden and helping you can.

Our family use this on tacos! We add garlic to our mixture. Thank u for the enjoyable video

Love your garden, kitchen, yard, chickens, hogs and the kids. Will definitely try this. Thank you

I made a batch of this slaw about two weeks ago. I’m happy to say we loved the slaw. Went to the store yesterday and now I’m making a double batch of this slaw. Our whole family loves this recipe. Thank you, Ruth!! I’m really enjoying your channel.

I absolutely love that shredder. I also own a Bosch Universal mixer and they make a slicer/shredder accessory for that machine. I know you said you didn't need another machine on your counter but the accessory works with the mixer you already own. So you wouldn't need to have another machine sitting on your counter. A day in your shoes wears me out just watching let alone having the energy you do.

I love how your kids help you and are learning how to can!

Greetings from North Dakota! I am still just so tickled to have found your channel and have another homesteader in zone 4. It has really blessed me! I enjoyed watching you can the coleslaw. I ferment it, but I have never tried canning it. I am going to have to give it a go this year!! I will share it with my viewers too. Thanks so much. I am really enjoying watching your family! ❤❤

We just opened a jar of your coleslaw recipe I canned in October. It is so good. We usually have creamy slaw but when we tasted this, we ate it right out of the jar. So I just wanted to thank you for sharing this recipe & I'm so happy I made it! Good bye creamy slaw, HELLO new favorite!

What a joy it will be to watch these little boys grow up together. They are storing all of this knowledge up and they don’t even know it. Your daughter will be a wonderful homemaker someday. These boys will expect this of their wives. You have a lot of teaching in the years to come! 🙏🙏🏡

Always learn something new from your channel

I'm obsessed with your son sharing your passion and teaching him how to be self sufficient!!

I love cabbage and am definitely going to make this. Thank you for the recipe and for the idea on how to store rings which I desperately needed. I am so glad I found your KZfaq channel its a blessing.

Those jars are so beautiful! I love the rotation of help you get from the littles. ❤ i also appreciate that you showed us what you do with the final product. You have a great channel.

I love vintage kitchen tools so easy for little to help.

You can put a kitchen towel in the bottom of your WB canner to protect the glass from the hot bottom. Really enjoyed your video's. Thank you for a great recipe.

Thank you for sharing this! I can't wait to try it.

Excited to try this recipe! Thank you for sharing ☺️

That turned out so pretty!! I need to try making this.

Love learning from you Miss Ruth! Great recipe that I must try. And I love your outdoor canning set up... genius!

Love your Lil helpers

Those are some great helpers!

I just love watching your videos ❤️

I like your enthusiastic helper! I'm sure he'll be proud of his work and the great results!

I absolutely love this salad and am going to add to my to-do list for winter

I have learned to much from you and enjoy watching you here and on Instagram - thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom!

The jars are so pretty ❤

LOL... "I just want to slam it (the fresh picked cabbage) on the ground" ! My mom had one of those table top hand cranked shredders - another item from her kitchen that I wish I had kept and not donated it to GoodWill : ( This recipe and the canning looks easy to do. Thank you for this video!

I could watch you all day and night. You make life fun!

Canned coleslaw...what??? Oh I have to try this!! Thanks Ruth.

It looks so yummy! Thanks for sharing! The purple cabbage one looks so pretty, too!

Yay!!! I've been waiting for this 👌

I remember my mother had a food “ processor” like yours I used to love using it.

Thank you for taking time to make such great videos

Thank you for the good recipes! I’m already hungry! I’ll use it!

I Love how your boys help you with chores. You have a precious family.

I’m so happy I saw this!! I would love a canning cookbook from your life experiences

We get the most beautiful, local heads of cabbage. We love sauerkraut and slaws so this pickled recipe sounds like one we'd love to try. Thanks for sharing.

I love the creamy coleslaw you made. Very creative and time saving.

Such adorable helpers! Thanks for the recipe, I'm excited to try it.

Just come across your channel . You are just amazing and so kind.

Nice recipe thanks for sharing. The red cabbage looks pretty in the jars

Thank you for sharing 🙏 🇨🇦

I love the recipe! I will be making it. Thank you Ruth Ann, for sharing. 😊

I love your videos! Life is real at your house. It's the first time I've seen anyone store their rings like I do, on wire coat hangers. I have one for regular and one for wide mouth. Thank you!

I love your channel! Going to make this, for are . I love how your children just eat everything from the garden.

So glad I found this channel...you and your beautiful family are such a blessing....

This was our first year growing cabbage and while it wasn't a great crop, we've been loving coleslaw and are planning a fall crop. I'm excited to try this recipe!!

I have totally fallen in love with your channel ❤️ Blessings

You inspired me to get 2 30" stainless steel bowls. I love them!

I’m coming back here to find the recipe 1 year since you posted it, my hubby has asked me all year to make sure I can lots more of this Pepper Cabbage this summer! ❤️

Beautiful. Your shelves are wonderful. Thanks for sharing. I've written your recipe in my cookbook.

Thank you , I enjoy leaning from you. You make it look comfortable for me to give canning a go and not be so Timid too do , I'm going to make this and only hope to have it come out just as good 😊

Loved everything about this, excellent!

Oh boy, the one you made today is beautiful with that purple cabbage

I love your channel and I love seeing your children pitching in with gathering, and preparing the vegetables🙂

Just a tip, if you want to you can just lay a folded towel on the bottom of your canner to hold the jars up a bit and cushion them.

Good helpers.

Looks delicious! I love that you share your life and sweet children with us. Yes, God is good!

I can’t believe how much the boys have grown in the year❤!

I will try this coleslaw. It looked easy and delicious. I have only ever made cole slaw from fresh, but having this on the shelf sounds delightful.

Every recipe i have tried of yours has been so delicious. Can't wait to try this one.❤😊 It looks so beautiful!

Fantastic recipe and video. I'll be making it this weekend! Thank you!

Hi Mrs Zimmerman! I usually make chow chow from my cabbage, but I’m going to try this recipe. Looks so good, I enjoy pickled veggies. Thank you so much and hope you and your precious family have a blessed evening!

I just made this today. Saved some back and. made coleslaw as well to go with the baked beans recipe you gave (canned them two weeks ago). Both were a hit and hubby came back for seconds! Thanks for your uncomplicated instructions!

Wonderful testimony

All the time ❤ 😊

Thank you for this recipe! I didn't get my own cabbage to grow, so bought a red cabbage, and a green cabbage today. This sounds so good, I have to try it! Blessings to you and your family!

I made this and it was a hit! I liked it right out of the jar, then I had with the mayonnaise. Oh man, it's so good!

❤all your babies are so beautiful ❤️ God Bless you and your family

I love seeing all the products of my labors after I can . we've not started here yet. But I'm about ready to make some zucchini pineapple and some strawberry jam. You are a good mom Teaching your kids and having them work with you. Thanks for your videos. You do good work

God is good I’ll be trying this recipe also. Thank you

I made this several weeks ago and tried it tonight for the first time. We absolutely love it. I will be making more tomorrow adding jalapenos this time. Thank you so much for the wonderful recipes.

Thank you for this video. I didnt know you could can coleslaw and have it still be crispy then strain and add mayo! I can't wait to make some. Loving your family and lifestyle.

I love your videos. I just recently found you and I am so happy that I did. Thankyou.

That is so nice you are able to do some of your canning outside. I love to watch the young boys helping you. I gave up canning as I have corpal tunnel in both hands. That pickled cabbage would be great on sandwiches. YES God is very good. Blessings

Love your videos

Thank you

You are raising a wonderful family. Your recipes and demonstrations are helping a lot of folks. I starting changing some of the older practices of the past by using glass or stainless for hot or acidic. I use a stainless ladle to put hot vinegar in the jars. The plastic leaches unhealthy bpas, etc when heated.

wish i could print this recipe thank you for all your teaching !!!

Watching your kids keeps me laughing... They seem so good natured, much be in the genes 🤔 ❤️

thank you for sharing. It is very encouraging. Be Blessed. Judy

I love pickled cabbage! Ate it for the first time last year. I hope to make more soon. I'll have to try your recipe, looks so good! You could staple some netting on the wooden shelf that's open in the back, that way it would have a little give but hold the jars too. I would staple each section separately for more strength.

❤awesome 👍 my kitchen is small also ! I would love one just like yours

I love reading the comments. They are sweet.

I’m definitely going to try canning coleslaw it looks great and my cabbage’s are nearly ready ❤🙏🏼

We love this slaw! We eat it on everything. My favorite way is on chili dogs. Thank you so much for sharing.
