Let's can sweet potatoes with our All American Pressure Canner. This canner is a work horse and allows me to double stack our quart jars. Thanks for watching and hope you are enjoying your garden harvest and securing your food through various food preservation techniques. The rest of our sweet potatoes will be dry stored in the basement.

You will enjoy your sweet potatoes. I make sweet potato pies not pumpkin pies for holidays. My mom grew up in a large family and on a farm and in winter her poppa would fireplace cook sweet potatoes all day long so when they got home from school they could eat them as a sweet treat before chores, homework, dinner and baths.

I’ve been watching your videos for maybe a year now and it’s inspired me to start canning, but also I have anxiety and it’s been bad recently. Your voice and your videos are always so calming and wonderful, I love watching them. They make me feel better ❤

Here's a tip - wash your sweet potatoes and place in large pot of boiling water. Cook for 5 minutes or so then remove and cool to the touch. the peeling will slip right off or easily peel off with a knife. Much easier and quicker! Then cut and place in jars and process.

Know it's a little late but if you will boil your sweet potatoes with the skin on for few minutes (10 to 15) then simply let cool without ice bath, the skin will slide off with a little rubbing pressure then all you have to do is cut off any blemishes. Maybe will help next year. Learned this at restaurant getting ready for Thanksgiving!

We made a batch of Sweet Potato Hummus from a quart of canned Sweet Potatoes. It came out just like Chickpea Hummus. We just swapped out the sweet potatoes for the Chickpeas. We will be canning alot more sweet potatoes! We grow Japanese Red, Carolina Ruby, Diane, Garnet, Hanna, and Kotobuki sweet potatoes. We used the canned Hanna sweet potato. No one knew it was sweet potatoes in the Hummus! To cure sweet potatoes, we place them in plastic grocery bags with holes poked in them or clear plastic totes with holes for ventilation, then set in a sunny room for 2 weeks. Then store in a cool dark area.

So nice to meet you. I just came across your channel. I am a pressure canner addict. I just can't stop. Nothing like going into your pantry and seeing nothing but goodness. Our canned food in the store is terrible. Full of ingredients half of us don't even know what it is. I do a lot of one jar meals. Beans and veggies. I just picked up about 30 pounds of yams ( sweet potatoes ) because they had a crazy sale on them at the market. One nice thing about this pressure canner is looking for deals on veggies or meats as groceries are just getting out of hand. I find it very satisfying opening up your lid and taking the jars out boiling like mad then hearing the pop!

I have nipped the end of a finger a couple of times using my mandolin. I purchased "anti cut" gloves on Amazon. I got 5 of them in a package and they really do help. If you do happen to get a nip, it isn't as bad and most of the time you get nothing. Give them a try!

@loritanner4478 3 жыл бұрын

I bought an electric mandolin after cutting myself really bad. And there is no way to get your hand near the sharp blades. It works really good. But the glove would be good when chopping alot of different types of food by hand.

She would die if she saw the commercial that interrupted the video RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE of that cut finger segment. At first, I thought the ad was a joke, but then realized it was just poor timing. It started out with this guy taking his wife to the emergency room, then she had an organ removed! That's when I realized it was not a joke or part of the video. OMG.

Our first batch of coleslaw/pickled green cabbage, is cooling on the bench next to apple slices and lemony pickled cauliflower. And 2 big jars of apple scrap vinegar is going to slowly ferment over the next few weeks from the "waste". Perfect.xxoo hope your finger gets better soon, mine was on the food processor blade after doing the cabbage. Totally worth it.

I love to see you wash the cast iron - I even use soap on mine, rinse them and after drying them really well I coat the inside with a very, very thin coat of olive oil. The pans never fail me - everything comes right out and the cooking is always very even. And Todd, you are a kindred spirit - after we sharpen our knives here, I must confess, we also wipe the knives on the leg of our pants. Thank goodness there are other people like us out there.

I have learned that I take too much on…too many projects, too many plants, too many flowers. And then feel guilty when I cant get to all of it. This year I want to relax if I cant get to everything and embrace composting things if it doesnt work out.

Oh No!!! Is your finger okay? I’ve done that before and it literally took the tip off my finger and I immediately ran it in cold water and it began to burn soooo bad but I did mine with a mandolin because I wasn’t using the guard...note to self and anyone else reading...those finger guards are there for a reason!!! Use the finger guard when slicing with a mandolin!! I sure hope your finger heals well and is okay. I also noticed you mentioned making a stir fry for dinner and using leftover cabbage, just curious if you’ve heard of “crackslaw” it’s nothing like coleslaw, it’s a hot meal and you can make pretty much any meat with it and any kind of sauce you like, I typically make a Chinese teriyaki type flavour with Tamari sauce or coconut aminos instead of soya sauce and I add fresh minced garlic and water and some surkin gold which is a sugar free brown sugar substitute. Anyway do a search on google for crackslaw and you’ll get a ton of various recipes. You’ve probably already heard of it but I hadn’t and I couldn’t believe how incredible it tasted and easy and fast it was to make with ground beef or leftover chicken.

My friend who was a nurse. Showed me what to do with a bad cut. I did one on a mandoline when I had my bakery. She put a bandaid on it really tight around my thumb. And told me to leave it like that for 30 minutes. Then remove, it should not be bleeding anymore. And mine was bad. Then she put on a new bandaid a little looser. Because your digit will feel numb. Because of the tightness of the first bandaid. But that makes it stop bleeding. And it worked. I just wore a rubber glove on that hand over the bandaid. Remember, working with food!
