My 89 year old mother was raised Mennonite in Manitoba, Canada. I remember her canning when I was very young; however, she never taught me. I taught myself 40 years ago when I was in my 20s. Yesterday I invited her and my youngest sister, who has never canned to come over and do some canning. Before we made my Grandma Plett’s Sweet Pickle recipe as well as your Pineapple Zucchini recipe, we sat down and watched this video together. My sister’s name is RuthAnn. My mother is the oldest, but the oldest brother’s name is Alvin. This video meant a lot to us as it brought back wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing your life with us!

I’ve canned zucchini that identified as apples and that worked great for apple desserts. Can’t wait to try this one, Yumm.

I believe the philosophy that playing only is the work of children has contributed so much to the mental health issues, including narcissistic tendencies we are seeing today. A person feels more valued when they actually are a needed part of their family and community. Children are no different.

I was thrilled to hear you say children need structure. I guess your philosophy on child rearing explains why your group of little people are always gathered around and willing to pitch in. God bless.

I also love your channel. It is a long time since I baked as you do. I love ❤️ the ‘Bread_Sticks’ you’ve shown all of us how to do. I used to make bread twice a week. Just the husband & myself (with a newborn). I live in Queensland, Australia. The property we were on was about 120 miles from nearest town. We lived quite a few miles west of a ‘Railway Siding’ it’s a bit of a town today, Nebo. Not to be confused with a Mt Nebo - that is on the outskirts of Brisbane- our State Capital. No Nebo was and I think still is about 14 hrs drive north of BNE. There was a small shop in Nebo but the shop owner was greedy for every thing she could be, example : the Mail would come through Nebo in late arvo. Too late for people to dash in and collect goods. I’m not real sure but I think Mail would arrive after shop shut. The shop would charge 10c per loaf to store it till morning. I had a GOOD cook book. I got a drum of Bakers flour + yeast. We had some ‘ROUGH’ bread - no matter how GREEN IT STILL fills the tummy. A few weeks later we were eating fairly ‘choice’ bread. That newborn is 50 next year. This was a cattle/grain property. We had a house supplied (we found an old vegie patch - it had a windmill + pipes to water so we grew most veggies and enjoyed a simple life. Never thought of preserving veggies- we ate them all. Anyway, I’ll continue your lovely KZfaq. God Bless and all my Love Ellen

Good morning RuthAnn and sweet family! I have heard of taking zucchini and making pineapple zucchini and now I have the recipe. Your pineapple upside down cake looked delicious. I’ve always made mine in a cast iron skillet, but that’s how my grandmother and mother did it....we learn from what’s passed down and I guess that’s what we get used too. I hope you and your family have a wonderfully blessed weekend!

Hey there. I live off-grid with no oven, so, like you, I tend to use pans on top of the oven, which seems to work well for some things. I was going to try a bain marie method that I use, for this recipe. Have you tried it? I think it'll work well for this type of cake which tends to be very moist, so the extra steam moisture shouldn't ruin it.
