It's canning day, and today we're putting up a batch of fresh asparagus. Since asparagus is a low-acid food, we must use the pressure canner. But it doesn't get much simpler than fresh asparagus when it comes to pressure canning.

I just did asparagus last year for the first time, when I was all done a video popped up saying that you "should" put your spears in upside down so when you get them out you don't tear the tips off. I might try it next time if I remember. Great video! They look beautiful!

I had a jar break when I was making hot pepper Jam, WHAT A MESS! 😅 You had a very informative and educational video! A lot of individuals may not know about using a pressure canner for low acid foods.

I use a chop stick to debubble the hard foods. Just info that I learned years ago. Happy canning!!

Great tip which would work well to not damage the asparagus spears……

Aww sorry about the loss .. true bummer. You have the absolute best clearest concise videos on canning I've ever seen and I've seen a lot of them LOL. Thank you so much I can't wait to can mine... I've used your salsa recipes for a couple years everyone loves them... Great presents

Hi There from the other side of the river, we usually pickle ours to keep it crisp (i think you have a video for pickling asparagus too). Does the pressure canning make the asparagus mushy? thanks for your videos, you do a good job :)

Since, I do not have a pressure cooker, I usually don’t watch the videos on it, yet.. I do love asparagus but have never grown..I was wondering if you could vacuum seal, then freeze them, instead? I already do this for the green beans and greens, I grow..thank you for sharing.

Yes, you certainly can vacuum seal and freeze!

Hey Great Lakes, this is Broken Hearted Prepper. Had to change my handle because of KZfaq antics. They wouldn't allow my comments to show under the Broken Hearted handle so I changed it. Seems to have solved the problem. Don't know why. Crazy times. Enjoyed the video, Great Lakes. You always provide such great instruction. Thanks and God bless!

@GreatLakesPrepping Жыл бұрын

That's so weird! Glad it's working now with the username change. I guess I'll call you Joe now!

@averagejoesmiling456 Жыл бұрын

Yup, just call me Joe, I suppose. I had heard whisperings of KZfaq targeting people with the word prepper in their handles, but I didn't think much of it. That was quite a while back. But I guess there was something to the rumor. I tried other handles with "prepper" in it and nothing would work until I took "prepper" out of the equation. I tried to think of the most benign name possible and came up with Average Joe Smiling. Whatever. Like I said . . . crazy times.

@GreatLakesPrepping Жыл бұрын

I guess I don't know if they're doing that, though for a different set of reasons I'm probably going to change my channel name in the near future. Mostly because it's expanded quite a bit beyond "prepping", and the name doesn't feel like it fits super great anymore.

It comes with my type of pressure canner. They might make replacement ones you can get, but I don't know if they can be universally used across different brands/models of pressure canner.

Here I was hoping you knew why my jars broke. I’ve only had a couple, but it still baffled me why?

@judylee1860 3 ай бұрын

Ah, what a bummer. That kind of rack is not very stable. My jars always fall over in my wated bath canner with that kind of rack. Jt makes me nuts. But water bath isn't as radical as pressure canners.

@cj311968 Жыл бұрын

I'm wondering why you don't seem able to do cold/raw pack with asparagus, like you can with most other veggies?

@GreatLakesPrepping Жыл бұрын

The way I did it here is technically cold pack. Hot pack would be if I cooked it all first separately, before putting the asparagus into the jars.

@kimberlygiacometti6041 Жыл бұрын

Just asking....from another video of yours...CARROTS...is the end result like 'canned potatoes' or do carrots keep their shape and texture? Going to do my first 'pressure canning' carrots later today...or tomorrow.

@GreatLakesPrepping Жыл бұрын

Home-canning vegetables will get you a result that is pretty similar to the same type of canned vegetable from the store. Except it doesn't taste like a metal can. This includes carrots. They still have their shape, but they will be soft like cooked carrots (because they are essentially cooked carrots).
