Hi friends, we have been canning up a storm over here over the last few days. We bought 100 lbs or so of peaches and 100 lbs of tomatoes, and a bunch of peppers. We canned salsa, peaches and cowboy candy and ended up with 117 jars by the end of it all. I hope you enjoy coming along with me!

My friend and I in years past would can together, pooling produce and sharing the results. We would can at one house, taking turns heating up our homes and families! 😂 Sometimes we would be busy until the wee hours of the night when it was cooler, children were in bed and we could blitz our efforts. So satisfying to do. I have very fond memories of that time. Enjoyable to watch you at your efforts with so much accomplished.

Chelsea, it was wonderful to hear the voices of some of your children in today's vid. I can appreciate that you do not have them on-camera very often but it's hard to believe that your usually 'quiet' home is housing half a dozen kids. Plus - when our family (of 7 kids) was in canning/freezing mode it was All Hands On Deck and it appears that you do all of the preserving effort on your own.

@LittleMountainRanch 11 ай бұрын

I do it sometimes on my own, but usually I have lots of chopping help. My kids are awesome during preserving season! I also try to fill when they aren't home or otherwise occupied - I feel really strongly about not having them on camera.

I am amazed by all you preserve. I canned dill pickles and bread and butter pickles yesterday and I was exhaused. I canned coleslaw last weekend and strawberry rhurbarb jam before that. Tomorrow it is zucchini relish. I have to pace myself these days because I have a very bad back and I am very close to being 78 years old. I love your videos and look forward to each one. Thankyou.

I just am in awe of how you have such an easy going confidence in your canning. I am always second guessing myself and can absolutely never multitask. I actually tried doing two things at once a couple of days ago, and added two tablespoons of salt into my sourdough pre-ferment instead of two teaspoons. I thought I was really zipping along well, but nope. You are such an inspiration! Thanks for sharing your canning days with us! FYI, just finished canning your Cole slaw, every lid sealed, and I can't wait to try it in the next day or so!

That is called a Lemon Cucumber where we come from. I usually peal & slice them onto a plate, then squeeze a little fresh lemon over them, then a bit of salt & pepper. SO DELICIOUS!! A favorite in our home. Easy to grow & very prolific. Best younger, less seeds.

Hi... I have two steam canners and it makes the canning so much easier... I'm not nearly as tired at the end of a canning day because the processing takes half the time... I have two pressure canners for the same reason.. also both have the weights so don't have to constantly watch the guage... it's amazing how much easier my day seems with those few changes. Thanks for another great video... I so often learn something new...at 70 that is so awesome for me ☺️

We are in Northern Michigan, tip of the mitten area, and our drought has hugely affected our local farmers hay production as well. We saw a few farmers that cut for a second time, and literally it looked like if I cut my grass after letting it go for a month. The cutting was pathetic. It may give him one or two round bales to the entire field.😢😢😢
