Our homestead has LOTS of wild blackberries and black raspberries. Time of year that they are ripe is SO BUSY that we pick them and put them in the freezer for a slower time of year. Now, Sarah has pulled them out and will share how to make wild berry jam!

Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 5 new videos every week! Tuesday through Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

For 30 + years I've canned things in the winter! It heats the house and it's not a busy time of year! Just like you said! Hope you feel better soon! Missed that pretty smile, and those dimples!! It ALWAYS makes me think of my Brother, Frank, he's been gone for 10 years now. I miss him!

We have a Dessert Bullet. We take frozen black raspberries, mulberries, blackberries, and strawberries...let them partially thaw. Then put them through the Dessert Bullet. Makes like a sorbet except it's healthier. Eat like ice cream. Pure fruit. Delicious.

We lived on 10 acres for 25 years and every year I made blackberry jelly from our field. They grew like weeds and even though it was mowed several times a year, We let it grow once we saw the flowers on the blackberries. I had tons of jelly made just as you do and I also disliked the seeds which is why I just made jelly (strained through cheese cloth. We had so many it didn't matter that we could have made more if it were jam. I WISH I had thought to freeze them in the summer when it was so hot that making the jelly was hard work after picked batches in the morning.What a wonderful way to do it, just freeze then thaw and squish, then can. Such a good strategy and thanks for making this video. I think your potato machine worked so well! I used to grow and put up 100 tomato plants every summer. I also just learned that some people wash them and put them in the freezer whole. When thawing them, the skins peel off and sauce is almost done. Easy squeezy.

If you don’t have a rack for the bottom of your pan you can place some jar rings on the bottom of the pan for your jars to sit on. I’ve used this trick a couple of times. Works well for me. 🙂👍🏻

A folded newspaper or even a tea towel works too. Anything to stop the glass making contact with the metal of the base. That way there's no danger of the glass cracking from overheating. I think it's a bigger danger with electric stoves especially the ones with the metal spiral eyes.

Omgoodness Sarah, we have become such a tight net family that what I was thinking was evidently what a few others thought. I only watched you about 4 minutes and I immediately said to myself she doesn't feel good I don't think. Your smile wasn't quite the same. We love you and care about you. The whole time I was thinking, how does she do everything she does on a daily basis. She must get so tired. I hope you feel better soon or get some rest. Lol We much appreciate you and your family.

My mother (I'm 73) used a kitchen towel in the bottom of her pot so the jars didn't set directly on the bottom. She never lost a jar. She also never had a pressure canner and used her water bath canner to can everything. We never had any bad effects from this. She raised 5 children this way. Love your channel.

Yummmmm my grandmother used to can and make lots of different jams and syrups too! Her Plum syrup on pancakes was so good and also her spiced peach jam was my all time favorite!! My grandpa took care of the big garden and she did all the canning I miss the fruits of their labor very much. Loved seeing this thanks ♥️

When my husband and I bought his family farm my Mother In Law taught me how to make wild black raspberry jelly. This was back in 1996. She helped me the first few years until I felt I could do it myself. She loved picking berries. She was the fastest picker I ever saw. She would picked berries by the ice cream pail full. She now has advanced Alzheimers and it gets a little sad thinking about her not being able to do the things she loved most. Gardening, canning and picking strawberries and wild black raspberries. I have her Ball canning book she wrote notes by recipes on how she did it. Dates she did the recipe etc. she taught me everything about canning. Her Mother In Law taught her. Maybe some day I'll be able to do the same if I ever get a Daughter In Law.

@lorindav5549 5 жыл бұрын

I love making jam. Made lots of jam, but I use Pomona's Pectin. With Pomona's you can make as large a batch as you can cook. I'd fill my large water bath canner with as many pints as would fit. The pectin doesn't go bad if you don't use it promptly and it is also low sugar. Marvelous stuff. Sour cherry jam is our family favorite. It's like eating cherry pie. Yum!

We have Chester Thornless blackberries planted. We got our starts from my in-laws in Missouri. They used to have a you pick farm. The berries were developed in MO. Absolutely LOVE them and of course the picking is easy. Used to have thornless raspberries, too. They were delicious as well. We would go to the farmer’s market and sell out headed home by 10 a.m. Sarah, if you’re just wanting to make jelly, I use my juicer. It works great and to separate the seeds from the pulp I put it through cheese cloth. Wonderful jam without seeds. 😃

Not trying to nit pick, just a suggestion, that you sit the hot jars on a towel instead of the counter top, because if the counter is cold, the jar can break (when you are filling them up). Love your channel, and especially your canning videos since I enjoy canning also!

You may also consider fig trees, the Chicago Hardy would probably be my first choice for you because it is cold tolerant. My suggestion is to plant figs against the southern walls of you house. They like a lot of sun and the house keeps them warm at night.

If you put the pulp in a stainless pot and add water an inch above, bring to a boil. Let the mix stand for about 30 minutes or so, strain & add your favorite sweetener to taste. Home made juice and even more use of the berry. Your jam looked amazing.

I live in BC canada and in a Doukabour community, my sister in law gave me a russian "ouctar"(nectar) recipe that her Russian grandmother used for high seed berries such as raspberries. I love berries and not the seeds so I make this regular....I'm thinking the left over skin/seeds you could use to flavored it as well. Might be worth a try! Recipe: in a large pot combine 15 cups water 1 cup of berries Soon as it boils turn off heat and allow to cool to room temp. Strain to remove berries and seeds Add 1 cup of sweetener ( more or less to taste) place in refrigerator to cool completely. That's it !
