Many years ago I was recovering from surgery, and undergoing radiation, and it really wiped me out. As soon as I felt like I could do it, I got up and canned up a batch of carrots, of all things. It’s hard to describe the therapeutic value of the activity of canning, or to explain to a non-canner how this is a comfort activity, but it totally is. I got those carrots canned, and I knew everything was going to be okay. And every time we used one of those jars of carrots I had canned, I felt reassured again that everything was going to be okay. Yes, canning is definitely a comfort activity, at least for me. Thank you for your videos. They are instructional, educational, and inspirational.

Awww. Big hugs to you. I don't think we ever stop missing them. My dad died 31 years ago. But you brought back a nice memory for me. Before my stepmother died they used to can a lot of things among them they would make sauerkraut. They wash the cabbage in the washing machine, I don't think they put it on a cycle I think it was just big enough to put a lot of water in. And one year my stepmother lost her Band-Aid somewhere in it so we didn't eat a lot of sauerkraut that year. LOL

I still have the old quart Atlas Mason jars that belonged to my grandmother. They are still in perfect condition. I think about how many meals the cans have held over the last 100 years. One year I remember filling all of her jars and all of mine. Thinking of her now gives me great joy. Everyone needs a grandmother like I had. I was truly blessed to have her in my life and I miss her everyday. ❤️

I have been water bath canning for years, but I recently bought a pressure cooker. The first one was a Presto Pressure cooker because of the cost, $99. The problem is it leaked and the gauge and the added weight I used just did not seem to match plus it would run out of water from all the leaking. I took that back and purchased the All American 915 Canner. I picked that size because these canners are heavy and I usually only do about 7 quarts or pints each. I am just canning for my husband and I and gifts. For anyone that wants to do sustainable canning instead of buying manufactured canned goods the All American canner is absolutely worth every single penny. None could possibly compare to how this works. It was excellent right out of the box on the test run. Your video on the setup of this canner was worth a million dollars. I feel successful because of that video and following all the advice and I thank you so much for that. I do have to brag about my pickles and I did make two different types of very crunchy garlic dill with a bit of a bite. One type was made with the hot water bath method and the other was fermented. I was thrilled with both results. The fermented is very good for a person because of the probiotics and is crunchy and tasty. The jars that were water bath canned are also excellent with a slightly different taste because of the flavoring I added and they are also very crunchy.

Use your canned squash to make fried squash patties. Little old bay seasoning, garlic powder and flour or bread crumbs as a binder. Drain the squash and mash it up before mixing with other ingredients. My mom has made these since I was little and we all love them! Love your channel and I also love canning.

I've just started canning a few weeks ago, I started with low sugar strawberry jam that my family absolutely loved. Then I made my husband's favorite pickled Bologna 😂, dill pickles, apple butter, white grape jam, blueberry jam, and blackberry jam. Today I'm doing Meyer lemon jam and apples in simple syrup, I don't have a pressure canner yet so I can't do the other canning I'd like to do, but I will soon. The jams and apple butter I've done have been in smaller batches, like 7-8 pints, to give to friends and to put up, my husband's pickled Bologna was made using a huge roll so he's got 2 quart jars and 7 pint jars full 😂. I realized when I started how much that ping sound when the jar seals tickles me to death!! I'm hooked, that's for sure, thank you for this video, i love seeing videos of others that explain why they will or won't can something again ❤️

I sometimes buy #10 cans of ketchup, mustard, pickle relish, fruit cocktail and vegetables then re-can them. It is much cheaper than buying individual small jars. And it keeps me in practice when I have nothing else to can! I enjoy canning and even more since I bought anti-fatigue mats to stand on while I work away. Canning is nothing to be afraid of! Things are made so much safer now than in Grandma's day!

Hello Heather from Tasmania AU. Here in Australia, we call canning "bottling" and it's something I learned from my parents as a child. I don't have a pressure cooker so only do water bath method. My household aren't big jam eaters, but we do a few jars of raspberry, strawberry and blackberry each summer, usually to eat with yogurt. We have a large garden and lots of fruit trees, so we have a pantry well stocked with apricots, nectarine halves, plums, apples and pears (all in water) plus vine leaves in brine (great for dolmades & middle eastern food). Probably the most popular things I bottle are passata (like pasta sauce) and fruit syrups that we drink with plain soda (thank goodness for Soda Stream!) in summer, hot water in winter or to flavour/feed kombucha for secondary fermentation. All the best to you and your family, really enjoyed the video!

She also made the best Chow Chow and a Pear relish (with a spicy kick) that I've not had since. She also canned mini-peppers with garlic that made the best hot pepper sauce for black-eyed peas! Canning is the best. This is such a great video!

This also has been in many a year that I've planted a garden and I had to have a garden so that I could can.. I loved every moment of canning.. Lol At the same time, last night I ran a water bath canner, ran a pressure canner and ran to the bath room getting ready for the dreaded colonoscopy test today.. Now that's a love for canning.. The water bath canner had 7 pints of tomato sauce while canning 18 pints of chilli sauce in my All American canner.. But I give you Heather the credit for my first ever canning project and it was the blueberry jam and my second was the pineapple jam. Both jams was a big hit.. My thanks goes to you and Linda..

I've watched you since your very first canning experiences!! Your husband made you shelves and you were so excited about it all. I think Noreen's Kitchen helped and the videos were so fun!!

Try dehydrating dill pickle slices to eat as chips. 2leelou preserve did it I believe and enjoyed. Maybe try a few slices to see if you like?

I have just bought my first pressure caner and I am excited about the fact that I will be able to always have food ready for my family. (I hope I said that correctly) Thank you for sharing your talent with us.

Great video! Thanks! My family has not liked the taste of my canned ground beef, but I have never canned it in au jus. I will definitely try that next time. Thanks for the tip :-)

I really loved this video. It's the first video I have ever seen where someone talks about their favorites and non favorites. It was very enjoyable and informative. Love your personality. I also thought that was nice of you to put the other collaborators links in your description. Hugs to you❤️

This is what I found out when I started canning. ( I'm from the UK 🇬🇧) I was watching canning video's and they were complete meals. Then I realised I had 18 meals of this and so many of that. I wanted to walk in to my pantry and say this is what we are are having for tea and pick up the jars. Also the nice thing out of all of this is our children and grandad children will say phone Nana I bet she has it in her pantry. What more can I say it makes me proud that my grandchildren love my pantry x

This was the best video! Thanks for taking the time to share. I canned a recipe for beets called "Phat Beets". I will never do that recipe again. My ring never lost the rosemary herb fragrance that was in the recipe. It was suppose to be a "savory" beet. I ended up having to replace my ring on the pressure canner after that! I just do plain beets in water now. I am not fond of pickled beets, nor did the savory beets taste good.

Wonderful information. Yes, I'm a year behind. I'm a new canner with limited pantry space and it's so helpful to get this sort of feedback. I don't have a stock pile of jars or a lot of pantry space so decisions will need to be made. Thanks and best holiday wishes.

looking at my pantry makes me "feel better". but I need more. Canning apple pie filling was quite an experience. One jar broke in the canner and the others oozed out. All and all though I learned a lot from watching you and Linda. Thank you.

oh no! yeah i learned the hard way too on pie filling. that stuff expands. a lot! hahahaha

Did you ladies just increase the head space? My first experience left me with an unsealed jar and some with no head space yet sealed.

Favorites: Jams & jellies for gifts, I look for unique flavor combinations; blackberry basil, Plum-nutty Conserve, etc. My dandelion jelly set up. Pickle relish, I used to can pickles but like you say the texture is a problem. When I realized that I usually chop the pickles up for tarter sauce or 1000 Island dressing I switched to making relish. I love Oven-roasted tomato sauce. I use it for pasta, soup and pizza. I always get free pumpkins after Halloween so I can pumpkin for pies and bread. I also feed it to my dog. The vet recommended it. Not- a fan of Tomato Chutney. It's supposed to be "adult catsup" but the vinegar taste is very strong.. I do use it to make 1000 Island dressing. I'm almost out and I won't be making it again. The best part of canning for me is that I can make just right sized portions for a single person. Most everything is in jelly jars.
