Thank you so much! They are amazing helpers, I couldn’t do a fraction of the preservation we do without all of their help!

So adorable to have your family involved. Try blanching the peaches for a couple of minutes like you would tomatoes. So those carrots looked like they got cooked and were mush. Never heard of blanching shredded carrots for a whole 5 minutes. Whole green beans are only blanched for 2-3 minutes. But if that’s the texture that your family likes then I reckon it’s ok.

That's what I was coming to say too, about the peaches.

I always start with cup of rhubarb for the liquid. I also add pieces of ginger to the apples.

I've dehydrated cabbage, onions, basil, sweet and regular potatoes . I didn't get enough carrots. So, they've been added to my vegetable soup mix and frozen.. I'm getting tomatoes and peppers.. So, I'll be freezing both. Until I can get enough for canning Thanks for sharing your ideas and examples 😊🙇‍♀️

Hi Kristy and sweet family! Good job family preserving everything. I am so far behind this year because I have been helping my brother. He’s been in and out of the hospital lately and I have been taking him to all his doctor’s and specialists appointments. I will just catch up when I can. Have a very blessed week!

Great job! Seems like that carrot water would be a great start for a vegetable stock or broth.

FYI you can blanch whole peaches like tomatoes and the skin will come off easy God bless

Thanks for the tip! Yes, I tried to get her to do that, but she said she wanted to peel them😂

@lillianmcclinton8866 4 ай бұрын

Thank you so much for this lesson!! Are there other vegetables that you can process in the same manner????

@FromtheRootsUp 4 ай бұрын

Yes! You can process almost any vegetable in this way. You will want to find a chart online that lists processing times for different vegetables and jar sizes, but the process is the same. You will also want to check what pressure you need to use at your altitude. We are going to be canning potatoes and sweet potatoes this week with the same method!

I wanted to share my Mom's 14 day sweet pickles: FROM FARM JOURNAL'S FREEZING AND CANNING COOKBOOK THE RECIPE MOM USED TO MAKE 14-DAY SWEET PICKLES Adaption of heirloom recipe long treasured in country kitchens 14-DAY SWEET PICKLES 3 1/2 QUARTS (2") PICKLING CUCUMBERS 3/4 cup canning/pickling salt Water 6 2/3 cups 5% strength cider vinegar 4 cups sugar 2 tsp. celery seed 5 sticks cinnamon 2 cups sugar Wash cucumbers, slice 1/16" slice off blossom ends. Cut in lengthwise halves or leave whole. Place in 2-gallon sealed crock. Combine salt and 2 qtrs.. water in 3 qt. saucepan. Bring to a rolling boil. Pour over cucumbers. To keep cucumbers submerged in brine, cover with a scalded heavy plate that fits inside crock! Put a weight on top of plate; a glass jar filled with hot water, capped and scalded, makes a good weight. Brine should cover plate by 2 inches for easy skimming; if necessary make additional brine (3 Tbsp.. salt to 1 qt. water) and pour over cucumbers. Cover crock with clean Terry towel; tie with twine. Let stand 7 days at room temperature: EACH DAY, uncover crock and remove yeast film or mold with scalded stainless steel spoon. If mold forms on plate or weight, wash and scald them. Recover with clean towel. On 8th day, drain; remove cucumbers. Wash and scald crock, plate and weight. Rinse cucumbers; return to crock. Pour 2 qtrs.. fresh boiling water over cucumbers. Add plate & weight. Re-cover with clean terry towel. On 9th day repeat. On 10th day repeat. On 11th day , drain; and remove cucumbers. Wash and scald crock, plate and weight and jar.. If cucumber are whole prick each in several places to prevent shriveling when syrup is added. Return cucumbers to crock. Combine vinegar, 4 cups sugar, celery seed and cinnamon in 3 qt. saucepan. Bring to rolling boil; pour over cucumbers. Weight with plate and jar. Re=cover clean terry towel. On 12th day, drain syrup into 3 qt. saucepan, adding 2/3 cup sugar; bring to a boil and pour over cucumbers. Replace plate, weight and jar. recover with clean towel. On 13th day , repeat, adding 2/3 cup sugar. On 14th day, drain syrup into 3qt. saucepan, add remaining 2/3 cup sugar. Pack cucumbers into sterilized hot jars. Bring syrup to boil, remove cinnamon sticks. Pour over cucumbers , filling to within 1/4" of jar top. Wipe rim clean; adjust lids. Process in water bath 5 minutes. Start to count processing time when water in canner returns to a boiling. Remove jars and complete seals unless closures are self=sealing type. Makes 6 pints!
