I used to do so much canning years ago. We always had big gardens, and what we didn't raise some friends did. One friend used to put out 2 to 3 acres of sweet corn, and we could pick all we wanted. A other friend planted several long rows of beets, and always let us have at least one row. We gardened with my parents and had potatoes, tomatoes, pumpkins, cucumbers. Zucchini and yellow squash, butternut squash, and gobs of onions, radishes and bell peppers. My dad always helped with the canning, his favorite was the tomatoes. The last year we canned, we put up over 300 quarts of vegetables, and I don't know how many pints. Mom and I did so many pickles we couldn't face them for a while. I have canned deer, beef, pork, and chicken, never did fish though. My late husband was a hunter and loved to fish, so my kids had more wild game than tame. I played with recipes and came up with so many ways to fix things. When I made vegetable soup my girls called it "quart jar stew" because I just started opening jars. I baked most of our bread, all desserts and cookies. We didn't have a milk cow but a friend did and we could buy it any time. I live in a small apartment now, and really miss being able to raise stuff and can it. I had a canner like yours, and used it for over 20 years. Thanks for letting me share, and thank you for sharing your time and talent with so many 😊 You are a blessing.

I watched this video and canned my own bell peppers and caramelized sweet onions for the first time. I am 79 now and you inspired me to start canning. I’ve also canned chicken n stew meat n butter n beans etc. Thanks for inspiring me. I love listening to your voice as it is relaxing and reminds me of my Grandma who raised eight amazing kids-many daddy was blessed to be one of them.

Mrs. Brown I appreciate you taking time to teach us newbies how to can. My family has always gardened and canned but I never took the time to learn. My mother is the last of the ones who canned and unfortunately she has Alzheimer’s and can’t teach me now. I just want you to know how grateful I am for you sharing your knowledge. God bless you and Mr. Brown.

I am the poster child for an intimidated pressure canner. I would’t buy one until I was brave enough to try canning with a borrowed one. I borrowed it, let it sit, almost took it back, let it sit and finally, a month later, I said to myself that I was being a big baby and I took that thing and started canning. Now I can’t wait to get one of my own!

Miss Lori, you voice feels like having a tall cool drink on a hot day. I wish I had 300 more videos to watch!

You are such a good teacher when it comes to cooking & canning & homesteading. Thank you for your canning video today. I especially thank you for the ending devotional. I needed to hear that today as this year as been a struggle for me. We don't need counselors or friends to listen to our burdens...we need Jesus!

Definitely have to can onions. The sound went a little wonky but as always, great content! Eight peppers yields ten 1/2 pts and 4 1/2 lbs of onions yields nine pints. Thanks for sharing!

I have always had some good luck with the seeds out of bought bell peppers. I have seeds that were my mom's. She passed 17 years ago. I don't have a tiller anymore. So I have a bucket garden. Going to garage sales to find plastic chairs to put totes on an plant more stuff.

Glad to see this video. Been wanting to can onions and peppers. So much easier to see you do it instead of reading it in a book. Thank you!!

Thank you so much for this video-in so many ways. I’ve been feeling so anxious today. Just been bouncing from one project to another, not finishing anything. We got the cost estimate for getting our irrigation water to become “deliverable” and it will pretty much wipe out what we have saved for fencing. So I’ve been trying to “hold it together.” But now through your teaching video of simply canning peppers and onions, but also your sweet, calm, gentle teaching has given me the release to Jesus of my anxiety, and tears. My, my-tears and I wasn’t even close to those onions! Thank you so much-Blessings.

It is so wonderful to see your lessons of the old ways. My intent is not to sound morbid…. But I do hope and pray that these lessons remain long after you and Pa and people like myself are gone…to teach those future generations. It is about so much more than food. Thank you. ~Sharon

I bought my first canner when we locked down. It sat on my counter for 2 weeks because I was scared of it. Once I got going that was it, I've canned everything. Meat is my favorite to can. Good video. I've got to try to can the onions.

TY Miss Lori, I am canning onions soon! Been canning up a storm lately and you are my go to gal! ❤️ ya!

My favorite method of maintaining a sustainable pantry is what I consider to be the most practical, utilizing every type of food storage methods and technology available, both old and new. . Except for the fruits and vegetables that get canned, I keep perishable items like meat, poultry, fish, fruit, vegetables and dairy products in the refrigerator on a short term basis until I'm ready to use them for a big family meal - and for even longer term sustainable storage, a large separate freezer, which can store a half side of beef with plenty of room left over for homemade ice cream etc. . I'm considering upgrading to a walk-in freezer at some point.in the near future, if my plans to open a bed and breakfast come to fruition. Sometimes, however a nice round of cheese can do well for quite awhile on a pantry shelf at room temperature - and doesn't mind even if it has to stand there alone.😁 Store bought canned goods get shelves.in the large pantry closet - several for canned meat like corned beef hash, spam and sandwich spread and another for canned vegetables Bread, rolls, grains, homemade pasta, cereals and the like are stored in special humidity controlled bins I buy from Amazon Prime - which usually get delivered to my doorstep about an hour after I order them on my Galaxy Smartphone. . Stuff from the family garden and orchard, like onions, bell peppers, tomatoes, cauliflower, cucumber, pumpkins, carrots, corn celery,, potatoes and yams, cherries, blueberries and strawberries get canned in Mason Jars and stored in the cool, root cellar of this wonderful vintage farmhouse I share with my extended blended family and several rambunctious dogs raised on table scraps from the some of the finest food from a plethora of sources both commercial and home based. . There's even a special separate "summer kitchen" which I use exclusively to store butter and ice cream churns, pots, pans, utensils, extra storage containers, foil, bags, cutlery, and other meal related accoutrement. Out back in the woods, there's even an old rusting vintage still where my great grandfather made some of the finest corn whiskey for miles. Next to it is the rusting hulk of the Ford Model A he used to transport that powerful hootch by the light of the moon on soft summer nights to his eager customers in a tri-county area. Further into this verdant forest of mostly sycamore, oak, pine and scrub, runs a cool stream into which I occasionally cast a rod or net to catch some Brook Trout, Bluntnose Shiners, or whatever takes the bait (just earthworms for the most part). And yes, hunting season means wild turkey, deer, and even an occasional wild boar. Thank you for allowing me to share.

I’m glad I’m not the only one that loses their mind every once in a while !!! Thanks for this video.. miss Lori, you’re the best

First time canner here and my project will begin April 11th. I bought a presto canner and I can't wait to use it so your video today has been extremely helpful!! I wish we were neighbors so I could ask you questions as needed but I think your video will work for me. Per usual, I LOVE YOUR VIDEOS!!! God bless you all!!!!!!!!

This was a wonderful video. I canned 18 jars. I used one yesterday on quiche. I made a simple onion and swiss cheese quiche. It was a snap. I used the onions and saved juice. Made rice with the juice. Oh yummmmmmmm. Your amazing. Thank you

Ms. Lori you break it down for all new to canning to understand. Thank you 😊

I really enjoy your sharing! BTW, I am so glad to see you letting your hair grow back! It's really beautiful!

Hugs Mrs. Lori, I so love all your videos!

My husband used to garden and I canned some, but not do much now! It’s just me and I just don’t anymore! But I love watching you! You are a good teacher!

Love you! Awesome video, learned so much.

When you were trying to get that lid on the canner, I said, Miss Lori, you always do this. 1 second later you said it, " I always do this" 😂

I always enjoy your how to videos and the end when you read to us. ❤️

I'm 66+ and am canning green peppers and onions for the first time. Appreciate all you do for us

Miss Lori, you are just getting better and better at this KZfaq thing! Just love you to bits. God Bless.

I didn't even think about canning bell peppers or onions. Thanks for posting this. I will start watching for things to be on sale, although I doubt there won't be much of that. lol I am growing peppers and onions in my garden. Be safe, stay well, and God bless you two!

Hello Ms. Lori, I never have canned just peppers or just onions. Thank you for showing this video on the facts and no no's. I am still afraid of pressure canning. Am I a Whimp? Probably I am. My mom did it and i would stand back in the corner of the kitchen. Never have lost that fear. I am Wimpy no doubt.

This was great 👍 I've been thinking about canning.. perfect video young lady🙏☺️🤗thank you so very much

Thanks so much. I am going to try to do this canning. Thanks so much for reminding me to take my burdens to Jesus. ❤️

Hey Miss Lori, thanks for the tutorial on canning Peppers and Onions 😊. Hi to Mr Brown 👋🌰😘 JO JO IN VT 💕😄

You can also steep the onion skins and make onion tea. It doesn’t tastes like onions like you would think. Purple onions are even better because of the polyphenols in the skin.

Love you Miss. Lori …………… blessings to you darling Lady ! 🦋🌹

Thank you! I am almost 60 and I have used my mama’s pressure cooker my whole life but I never pressure canner by myself until a few months ago. Thank you for this!

I got tickled at my. Question because as soon as I asked it you answered my question you and Mr Brown have a great day

Thank you for your video on canning peppers and onions. Love your videos. Blessings to you and family

Thank you for the amounts of pickle crisp on this and how big to make these peppers. I like to have them Frozen but I don't have enough freezer space and I've never really been happy with just the dehydrated ones and some of my favorite recipes. I had heard over a period of time that the onions seem to kind of disintegrate and just cutting them larger and using the pickle crisp really makes sense to me. Thanks for all your help with this

🐼 Big Bear Hugs from a 68 yr old grandma in Kirby, Texas, USA 🐼 ❤ 🎀 ❤

I will definetly can both of those and have you ever thought of getting a weighted jiggler so you dont have to watch the gauge and you can just listen? Its a game changer and wish someone would of told me sooner. It makes canning so much easier and more fun. Have a blessed day.

I. Love. This!! I cook for just one. And if I put things like frozen peppers in the freezer, I end up letting them get freezer burnt. Or, because my freezer is full (I only have the one with the fridge) I end up not having things when I want them. I love this! I will try this this year. Thank you.

I have canned peppers before, but never onions. Going to have to try this. When I find mushroom on sale I can them too. I do cook them a little bit, so to fit more in the jar. God bless.

Ms Lori the last 2 videos are in an out couldn't get anything from canning Peppers an onions was so looking forward to that information but I'm still watching all your videos that you do Your the Greatest in KZfaq keep up the good work

I love to can everything I can.I could eat onions for breakfast I love them.

What a great video on how to can onions and bell peppers. We are filling our pantry each week with the food items that our family likes to eat and they are going to love these onions and bell peppers. Thank you for sharing. Now on to watch your video on how to caramelize onions. May God bless you and Mr. Brown with a great day.

Another video to teach me canning...thanks. You can use those thin onions skins to dye eggs. You are so sweet! God bless.

Thank you so much. We appreciate what you do and how you do it. Ken & Barbara

Hello miss lori! This is a very very good video! Very helpful! Thank you soooo much! Be safe! See u soon! 💕 🙂 💕

Your apron so cute....I love all your kitchen.. Love the screen door,,antique sign,,pipe shelving and that rooster,,love the light above your sink...and sure love you mrs lori....your easy on the eyes,,too....lol....

Mrs. Lori. You read my mind!! I've never canned either onions or peppers before but, have often wondered if I could and was going to look it up. With the bigger chunks and pickle crisp I am hoping for something better than celery that I canned. It wasn't that great and I will never can it again. But, this sounds doable. When the harvest comes in I will be SO happy to have this information. So thank you dear lady!! I just wanted to say thank you for your channel. It truly is a blessing to me in more ways than the recipes. Bless you both!! Love from Tennessee.

Love this show!! I learned so much from you Mrs. Lori. Thank you 🌺🌸🌺🌸

I do not have a dishwasher and have been wondering how to sterilize my jars and lids. I bought my water bath pot and plan to get a pressure cooker as I am growing a garden to help supplement my food. I love watching your videos! May God Bless y’all!

I loose my thoughts at least 2 or 3 times a day.. lol Thanks for sharing with us all your wisdom on canning and preserving foods..🥰

Thank you for showing this it helps so much!!

Thank you for showing the "pickle crisp".

Hello Lori. Thanks for this video. Always good advice about canning. Also, thanks for your message. Be well.

Ms. Lori , love your show. Mr. Brown too. You make me smile. Love your recipes,your heart. Your beautiful!!!

Thank you Ms. Lori for this video. I received my new pressure canner about 3 weeks ago and I know what I'm canning first, onions. 🦋🌻🦋

I love your apron, my granny 👵 use to always wear 1 in the kitchen. We canned when I was a little girl. Love your channel.

You are my go to person for canning. I'm kinda old to be just now learning, but it just worked out that way. 👍

I was running into the problem of having too much produce to use up fresh, but not enough to fill my small canner. I decided to try freezing some things like chopped onions, peppers, tomatoes, green beans and such in zippy bags until I had enough to fool with. I canned a couple jars of each in one big canner load as a test. They turned out great, though the peppers were a little mushy. I also figured out I need smaller jars of the peppers than the onions or tomatoes, since we don’t typically use such big amounts of peppers in any dish. The pickle crisp idea is sheer brilliance! Game changer! Can’t wait to try it this year. I think I’d be inclined to save the drained water from those jars. Seems like they’d make a good addition to a soup or stew, adding in some flavor and nutrients like a vegetable broth. Yes, I’m so thrifty I can squeeze a nickel till it yells “Uncle!” I’m like you about hunting for that arrow without my glasses on. 😂🤓 I put a little dot of red nail polish 💅 on them and rubbed it into the engravings. Makes it stand out enough for me to see even without my “peepers” on. Thank you for sharing all your tips and experience. 💕

Miss Lorie, you have such a beautiful smile that lights up your face and lightens my soul! It’s remarkable! Thanks for all your hard work, making these videos for us! You are appreciated!

Miss Lori. Your a Brave Women i have never touched. A. PRESSURE COOKER..🌻🌻🌻

I am enjoying your videos. I plan on making your school rolls as I haven’t had those in a many years. I had two aunts that worked in school cafeterias and made those rolls. A lot of love was what made school lunches great back then. I live in Arkansas in the Sharp Co. region and I love our beautiful hills. God bless and keep making those wonderful videos.

God bless Mr. & Mrs. Brown 💕🥰🐔🐓🦆🦆🐟🌾🌱🌻🌷🌹🌼

😊 I hope your box got there all in one piece!!! I didn't know it cost soo much more to mail to a post office box!!! Oh my!!!😳😱 I went ahead and did it because I was already there and didn't want to go back home. I really hope you like it.😊😘

I hate forgetting to de-bubble! I just discovered your channel and appreciate learning how to preserve more of the harvest we hope to have this year!

I just love watching you canning things I never thought you could do 🌰 🧅 or peppers God bless you and Mr brown

Miss Lori, I'll probably never meet you in this lifetime, but I'll know you in the next. Thank you so much for all you do! God bless you and Mr. Brown! ❤

Love the apron! When are you going to publish your canning cookbook? I have to limit myself on cookbooks/canning books but I have room for yours. Love your cookbook. Blessings to you and Mr Brown. I have onion broth cooking in the roaster as I watch this video.

Oh yes!!! ❤Thank you so much. Something new to can that will be real handy.

I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with us. We haven't canned or probably 20 years, but are determined to do some canning this year! It is so helpful to see you do it than just to read about it. We are retired now and my husband and I are going to do this together. We are getting pretty excited. Thanks so much!

I bet they would be great in a freeze dryer! I want one so bad!

I just want to hang around in your kitchen. It’s sooooo homey. 😍

Thank you so much for teaching us the correct way to can. You are always so patient and thorough with everything. You are a blessing. Have a wonderful week.

Thank you for this video. Very helpful. Would love more canning information. 🥰

My mom saved her onion peels all year and boiled eggs for Easter for colored eggs. They were brown onions. The eggs were a rich mahogany color. Blessings!

Wonderful reminder....take all our burdens, whatever is troubling us to Jesus. Reminds me of hymn, " I Must Tell Jesus" Love & Prayers from Georgia

Ms. Lori. I made your breakfast potatoes a while back, with onions and red peppers. Well, I’ve made at least three more batches since then. My son loves them! He doesn’t like “store” food and he can pop open a jar and fry them up whenever (teenager with a hollow leg) he wants. Thank you for sharing all your recipes and ideas. God Bless you and keep you.❤️

GOD BLESS YOU MISS LORI

I saw this today 4-28-22. I got a lot of onions yesterday at the food bank. So I canned them per your instructions just now. Thanks so much.

Thanks for sharing....always thought about trying this. Great way to preserve your chicken eggs.

Love it! I live in Prairie Grove, just out of Fayetteville! You’re definitely my sister- in- Christ! My mother started me on cannning when I was 8 yrs old. First thing I learned was cleaning jars!! Then shelling peas and snapping green beans. I’m 75 now, and just bought bags of sweet onions and bell peppers from Sam’s and will can them tomorrow!!! I truly enjoy watching your posts and would love to meet you for coffee and pie in between our homes someday!! I’m retired now and always looking for new recipes to can up! Thanks again! Ms. Jimmie (Grandmommie)

You do a great job explaining

Thank you for the scripture verse at the end! God bless you and Mr. Brown

Amen and amen. :^) I had never thought of canning onions. This is just what I needed to see.

Thank you so much for this!! I'm learning and feeling a bit more comfortable with pressure canning!! You looked beautiful today!!

i bought the pickle crisp in bulk! i canned all my vedgies with it... except tomatoes lol

Hahaha!! I wondered if you were going to catch the de-bubbling !! Loved that you interjected the public service announcement to help the newbies! Have you ever used grape leaves in your veggies to keep them crisp? Or yea bags?

Love Love it ❣️ Thank you and God Bless you and your family ❣️ I will try pickle crisp.

Thank you for the pickle crisp tip! I will be doing this when I start this years canning. I love your videos! You can like I do - everything at room temp before loading in the canner and turning on the stove eye. It drives my mom nuts 😂 Her way is everything super hot - food, jars and canning water. I’ve done it both ways, but starting everything at room temp is so much less stressful for me even though it takes a little longer. ❤️

Your videos are always so helpful and inspirational. Thank you, Mrs. Lori.

Your ending prayer was so beautiful. Thank you Ms. Lori for all you do to share with us your many blessings.

Rosie Lee. Mrs. Lori ❤ you and your videos. LEARN A LOT AND please 🙏 Don't take this the wrong way you are human and are allowed 😉 mistakes justlike the rest of us. God 🙌 you and Mr.Brown. Hope you have a continuous blessed life 🙏

Ms Lori, my mind decides it wants to go on vacation. I sure wish it would take me sometime .

I learned a lot! Thank you Mrs Lori!!

What a great idea .Thank you Ms Lori for showing us how and the tips .I didn't know that you couldn't put them in a water bath .My son- in- law is planting a garden this year . They are planning to plant some extra for me .Especially collard greens and yellow crook neck squash .I usually put them up in the freezer but thinking about canning them .Any tips would be appreciated.Thank you for the encouraging words about taking our cares to JESUS. 💛❤

I’ve been super into pickling red onions! Your videos always give me such comfort. A moment of peace in my hectic days

That's a great idea. I always flash freeze then store in a freezer bag my green peppers and onions . I never blanch either one. Thank you for the information about not being able to can them water bath method. I didn't know about pickle crisp and I've made plenty of pickles so I'm going to try that too. I'm a a little older than you but I'm always happy learning new things and I've have learned several things from you . 🌷💗🤗

Loved the video. The end was beautiful

I love your canning videos. I also like the way you laughed on your correction. We all have that senior moment. It is even a surprise to ourself.
