A Preserving Hack You Didn’t Know You Needed | Never Make Excuses

[@sharonafshari4485]

Thanks for the tip!

I can not believe that Billy goat was on the back of the pony🤷‍♀️🤣🤣🤗❤️💯

Goats will climb on anything! 😄

My mom doesn’t own a vacuum sealer but she manages to get all the air out of the Ziploc bag by submersing Said bag almost all of the way in a basin of water, then zippering it shut. Does a pretty darn good job. Those jalapeño poppers look fantastic!

[@verreedoiron183]

I have actually left an inch or two open if the ziplock bag and put my mouth in the gap and sucked the air out and quickly zipped it shut as I’m sucking the last of the air out

[@judithwentz6715]

I saw an idea to use a straw to suck the air out of the bag. Close the bag except for one corner insert straw.

[@galeburkman1586]

Great idea with the vacuum sealer.

[@lindachandler2293]

Don't worry about your granny being in the video. She's part of the family and I'm sure enjoys being included in everything 🥰

[@Frankie_902]

OMGosh I get so excited when I get a notification that you've posted a video!!❤️

[@briannasmith8481]

Have you tried the submerging in water vacuum seal trick? Almost seal the bag, submerge up to the zipper in water, all the air is displaced out of the bag by the water and then press the seal shut :)

[@williamlaughlin8148]

Catherine Laughlin commenting...I'm going to use this submerging method. Thanks!

[@shelleybelly66]

So good to see Granny by her big picture window! That hack is a LIFESAVER, especial in light of how much dang money that will save! You guys have fun on your trip!

[@christianlamore1810]

hello how are you doing my friend

[@josettereto4497]

That was a crazy game! My aging heart had a workout. Go STEELERS!

[@trippingwithpippy2317]

Kentucky gal here…Seal one inch from the edge, fill sink with water and dip the bag in the sink of water slowly until you get to the top, then finish closing up…and it will push all the air out.

[@robinweber4646]

I’m glad you had help feeding the animals.

[@mskippi]

Love it

[@fourdayhomestead2839]

Great trick with the vac sealer! Enjoy your trip!

[@dorothycrowder8577]

Oh snap....if you put bread crumbs on top of the peppers....they are the bomb. Just smash the crumbs on top and you can freeze 'em as well! Ready for the next game! Bake as normal...done!

[@christianlamore1810]

hello how are you doing my friend

[@nancycarney]

I have been canning for several weeks. We were gifted 30 lb carrots. Done. Gifted 4 red cabbage. Sweet & Sour cabbage done. Green beans. Green Peas. Green beans w/new potatoes. Lima Beans. Green cabbage. Potatoes. Corn. Salsa. Canning is my favorite time in the kitchen. We are in North Mississippi next to Memphis. I absolutely love all your videos. My husband is a Dallas Cowboy Fan and a SEC Fan. Dak has already been hurt.

[@charityleach9900]

Thanks for sharing the food saver hack! I just bought my machine this year but the prices on the bags is really steep! Definitely will be trying this out.

[@ericahinkle4901]

I really like the way this video was filmed and produced! Nicely done Jed & Stivers! :)

[@kattetrev]

I thought I saw new growth on the tree that had fallen but today I’m SURE! Yay for being patient about one of your favorite trees!! ❤

[@moprepper5007]

OMG you’re my hero with that vacuum sealer tip!!! You rock, thank you!!! Have a great trip.

[@lindachandler2293]

As my little grandson said once 'Ain't that just slick as snot?'. I've got to try that vacuum thing!

[@WeeLee64]

Never noticed your pot filler at the stove...coolest thing ever!

[@kristinschoppmann3577]

You said when you had taco pizza to keep your pizza varieties open, and now you're eating jalapeño poppers. Well our new favorite pizza that we tried a few months ago is jalapeño popper pizza. There are recipes you can look up online. It is a life-changer. 🙌 So, so good! Also, I love your channel. I've been binging it the last couple days. 😅

[@christianlamore1810]

hello how are you doing my friend

[@kayalbright1023]

Sorry I live in Butler Pa and we are in Steeler country. But that game was so messed up. We won but I can't say we were any better. Haven't looked maybe another chance to play again. We could both in play offs. .

[@sandramedina221]

The cows dont go outside. Nice to see your daughter ... Have a good day

[@laquicha8159]

I love your videos! I learn something and also, I just enjoy seeing such a wonderful family in action. You are making such a great life for your kids!

[@cherylreynolds5025]

I was given guit a few sweet potatoes and I don't want them to go to waste How can I preserve them.Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

[@tamararoberts9307]

I do both, blanch half and not blanch half . When you blanch it's longer to air dry. Plus, we love our fresh green beans!

[@susanstokesbrungard291]

I love making those peppers. I've been canning last 3 months. Glad to see Momma. Enjoy your football an have a nice day. Give Mom a Hug. Lv an Prayers to all.

Being a Steelers fan since 1976, I was happy with the ending of that crazy game.

I was processing okra earlier and I was wearing plastic gloves whatever it is went through the gloves and still made my fingers swell up and get really sore have to find a better way to process okra

[@margomiller1988]

I’m going to have to try that baggie trick next year! Very cool!

[@lindachandler2293]

Just tried the vacuum seal thing and shared your page with my facebook friends. Game and money changer! Thank you so much.

[@sabrinadrabing595]

Y’all are awesome!

[@amoore0713]

There's a special tool I found on Amazon that gets guts out of my peppers very easily! I use it for tomatoes too when processing.🙂

[@jerrirussell7146]

Take green beans clean them if they got dirt break them up put them in a seal-a-mill bag seal them up real good put them in the freezer do not blanch them cook them what heavy take them out wash them put them in your pot and cook them like you just broke them up and you're not going to tell no difference they're awesome

My daughter was a BenGal. It was fun going to the games and watching her cheer. I’m a Packer fan though. We stunk up the field this week. Hopefully week 2 will be better for both of our teams. Love your videos. Americana at its best..

When you fix the okra that way and freeze, how do you cook it out of the freezer? Great vacuume sealing hack! Thank you for sharing!

Hi 👋

[@markfrederic32gmailcom58]

How’re you doing?

[@jennifermclaughlin2911]

Love watching your channel Zach and Jen, but as a long time pony/horse owner you need to get a farrier out to take a look at your pony's feet. They need to be trimmed and it appears to me that the pony has foundered which honestly is not a good thing. You can tell by watching him/her walk that they are in pain.

[@debrabrown6145]

Bad guys just cut through watching your video I was wondering what part of Maryland where you all in I live in St Mary's County Maryland I'm just wondering if you was close to me didn't know hope you enjoy your trip safe getting home love you bye-bye
