[@lindab2144]

As an "OLD" grandma..it makes me happy to see a young person canning. Also raising your own meat food supply. Your recipes look amazing. Have a blessed day.

[@abbeyverigin]

Thank you very much Linda!

[@GetToTheFarm]

"paddocks" someone's a horse person?? I love how you use all the ingredients in the bowl, scraping it all clean... I hate watching cooks leave stuff behind!!! LOL

[@geewhizkid33]

I love your video! The ONLY thing I wish you would show, and maybe you have in other videos, but I would love to see the after… opening, preparing, serving and eating a dish or two. I’m curious of the actual outcome. I already shared your channel with my wife, she mentioned wanting to can like this,so it’s right up her alley! Lol For me being a non-chef guy, I’m more interested in the eating… Lol Thank you!

[@abbeyverigin]

Thank you! I plan to include this in other videos, lots of requests to share preparing of the meal in a jar recipes off the pantry shelf

Laughing, my Momma, God rest her soul, always painted RED fingernail polish on any jar of food she gave to us kids. We knew that jar MUST go back to Momma. Glad to hear you say that today. It was a good memory. Great job and thanks for sharing.

[@abbeyverigin]

I love that! Thank you for watching :)

[@JoyfullyOrangeDeborah]

Had Ball or the the agency continued testing we could have so much more "approved" but they would still be shaking their heads at canners in other countries and from years past who do it different than they like to say we can. Thanks for sharing bc I need meals on the shelves and not just my single ingredients. I have only been canning about 7 or 8 months and I'm learning as much as i can. Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!

[@abbeyverigin]

I hear you. It is very nice to have meals ready to go. Thank you for watching Deborah!

[@ohmyet2173]

I am so glad to see a younger person take interest in canning!! I wish my daughter in laws would!! I love your recipes and have printed them and will try some out next weekend. Raising pigs and chickens is a smart homesteading venture. We have done that for years. We raise goats but not to eat. My husband is an avid hunter so the freezers get filled with deer every year!!

I'm a meal canner I prefer efer that method over ingredient canning myself. It's so convenient to open a jar and have a treat made meal. Thank you for the ideas. 😔

[@abbeyverigin]

I’m a mix of both! Meals have been a game changer for us. So happy to have them on the shelf.

[@nic7761]

whats your favorite?

[@lisapack4906]

Great video! I recommend using Mexican oregano in Mexican dishes. Also, if vinegar is poured into a small bowl, you can dip your dish towel in that to prevent contaminating the vinegar container. Then once all jars are in the canner, you can puor the used vinegar into the canner. Meals in jars are my favorite thing to can. Thank you for the inspiration! Subscribed!

[@abbeyverigin]

Thanks for the tips Lisa! I’ve not tried Mexican oregano, I will look into that. They’ve become a favorite of mine to can as well :) happy to have you here!

[@J_LOVES_ME]

Good tip on the vinegar!

[@tamiw6594]

I’ve made the chipotle with beef, chicken and pork tenderloin. One of our favorites. I appreciate you making tested recipes. The chicken Marsala is most likely safe as well 😉

Thanks for sharing how you put together these meals. I need to get better at canning whole meals in a jar. I am usually an “ingredient” canner where each jar is only one thing and I find it harder to make meals that way. I would love to see some clips of how you serve the finished meals in a future video.

Those meals in a jar looked so yummy. I usually brown my meat first, but it will definitely be putting up some of these too. Thanks for sharing and giving us great ideas. I appreciate it!

[@abbeyverigin]

Thanks! I often used partially cooked chicken since we typically buy whole chickens. For the beef surprisingly I find it has plenty of flavor without browning. I saw someone share a tip of broiling the meat in the oven to speed up the browning process which sounds great, so I may try that in the future :)

[@kfl611]

I like your kitchen counter tops ! Thanks for posting this video, food looks great. I was watching videos on canning fresh mushrooms, it was mentioned mushrooms contain a lot of air. The cooks that were canning them, boiled them for 10 minutes or so in water, which released a lot of the air in the mushrooms, which made them can p much nicer. Canning them un-precooked, they can float to the top of your jar and leave a lot of liquid below. You may want to boil up your mushrooms first, try it both ways and see which you like best !

[@Scorpio_Rose1980]

A thought, on your first recipe chicken Marsala, could you drain the broth scoop out the contents of the recipe then add the broth so you're not chasing those "floaters" around the pan? Love your channel. So glad I found your channel. ❤️🌹❤️ No criticism intended ever, when I do freezer meals, haven't gotten my canner fear under control yet (but you are helping and teaching). I put all the seasonings in first so they don't stay floating on the top, AMD get mixed thoroughly throughout the "bag".

[@abbeyverigin]

Good tip! Thank you! I appreciate your support :)

[@LouiseBigando-gh4hm]

Hi there. Your videos are so calming and informative. I get so relaxed all while learning new recipes and ideas. I do like how you’re very clear on when a recipe isn’t an “ approved” one. From what I saw, close enough! I do have a question though. I didn’t hear you mention what the headspace was on these recipes, and I was curious what’s headspace you were using for the chicken recipes?

Thank you! I appreciate the kind words. 1 inch of headspace for all of these recipes :)

[@zepguwlthistle7924]

love you recipes and it give me ideas. Im 68 and have canned for years but just in the past 4 years started canning soups and such. Gonna can the marsala chicken. I will increase the ingredients to can a full canner of the Marsala though. I canned the beef stroganoff from one of your other videos. my stroganoff is usually cooked beef with sour cream in the sauce, but wanted to see what yours tastes like

[@abbeyverigin]

Thank you! We love the stroganoff. I have found that when I heat it up I do add some cream, Greek yogurt or sour cream to make a creamy sauce.

[@tanyabailey7791]

For your chipotle beef…. It’s much better with the actual chipotles. We use it for tacos and enchiladas. If you ever smoke meats throw some of your beef bones into the smoker. Then when you make bone broth use half smoked bones and half plain. Use that broth to make your chipotle beef. It’s sooooo good. I use the smoky broth when making pot roast too.

[@abbeyverigin]

We have been using it to make taco bowls. It has become a staple. Never thought to smoke the bones - love that idea! Thanks for sharing.

This sounds awesome and I will be making all of them, a lot of people to feed at Christmas time. I really like the cold pack method, on the Marsala recipe. could that be cold packed also?

[@abbeyverigin]

You could I do find that browning it a bit adds more flavor and holds it together a bit more. If you raw pack it you’ll end up with chicken that is more shredded but I’m sure the flavor would still be great

[@nkjghfgkjlhgggggggg]

Hi there! I love your channel it is super informative and i've learned a lot from you! I just have one question in my mind that maybe you could help me understand. I just bought the same pressure canner as yours and in the instruction booklet, it says that for canning recipe with meat that if you do the "raw pack" method, to never add liquid to the jars. Yet i see so many doing it? Im confused on that part.

[@abbeyverigin]

Thank you! Most of these recipes are tested and come straight from ball. If you’re raw packing meat with nothing else as the meat cooks it will release enough liquid that it is not required to add any additional liquid.

[@mickiaber3002]

I would love to see you prepare these canned meals when you serve them! Ex: how much flour or arrow starch to use. Also on your hummus video, how exactly do you prepare it to eat.

I’ll definitely share this in a future video! Prep instructions are in the description box :)

[@bettyadkisson1681]

Try meat loaves in wide mouth jars and yes tried and true with eggs in it. So much easier throughout the gardening season heat and eat. Scence its just one person i slice and heat meatloaf & green beans and canned potatoes or make ahead mashed potatoes. And the next have meatloaf Manhattan. With a side of rhubarb crisp.

[@johnkowlok3231]

What a great video! I will try with pork loin and roasted tomatillos in the Chile verde, and pork shoulder with cumin and orange peal zest in the chipotle recipes. Jalapeños en escabeche would go great with these! Perhaps a splash of red wine in the stroganoff as well? I am looking forward to getting some chickens when I retire and can care for them properly. Maybe then I will have to tend to my garden better so I don’t get Frankenstein looking carrots! There are a pair of mourning dove that nest in my front yard every year. I just let them be.

Did you need to cook the marsala first to burn off the alcohol content?

[@caroljeanscholl7370]

Do recipes require thickening later? I've always seen beef stroganoff as a somewhat creamed type a recipe. And the ones that you're using for say tacos or something similar do just not use the liquid in the jar? They all look beautiful and I really want to try some of these I'm just not sure how you prepare them the day you're going to eat.

[@abbeyverigin]

Hello! No, these recipes don’t all require thickening later. You can if you’d like, just depends on your preference! If you do, I’d make a slurry with 1-2 tbsp corn starch/arrowroot powder with some of the broth from the jar or cold water and then stir it in as it heats.

Do any canned meals last for extended time beyond a year for example?

[@abbeyverigin]

As I understand it the 1 year rule is more so for quality. The recommendation I have seen is to consume before 2 years. More so from a quality stand point I think I’d stick to those guide lines for pressure canned foods. Safety wise though, if all looks good I personally would go beyond that. I think this is something you need to use your best judgement on.

[@lisagrafton2529]

Is there a way to add noodles to some of the canned meals? I'd like to make some ready to eat meals, for my husband, who wouldn't take the time to boil noodles, to go out with the meal, like with stroganoff.

[@abbeyverigin]

Unfortunately not. Canning with pasta or rice is not considered safe canning practice

[@sarahmcgrath893]

Do you have a glass top stove? Have you had any trouble with canning? I’m always nervous to can on mine.

[@abbeyverigin]

I do and I haven't had any issues. Best to check your manual. A lot of the newer ones can handle it. I am just careful with it. I don't move a full canner on the stove top etc

[@Mariaabroad]

First off, I love your channel. I am a newbie canner and you have given me so much inspiration. Thank you. A quick question: Can you modify the cold-pack recipes into hot-pack recipes? I am not a fan of "boiled" meat and would like to brown the meat (and maybe onions etc) before. I wouldn't cook the meat through, more like what you did with the Marsala recipe. Is it safe to modify the recipe like that?

[@abbeyverigin]

Hi Maria! Thank you for your kind words. This really depends on your comfort level. I personally would feel totally safe with that, you’d want to make sure the meat is cooked no more than 2/3 of the way through. Just be aware that the recipes are not tested for safety that way, only as written. Everyone has a different comfort level when it comes to adjusting canning recipes. I am not a fan of boiled meat either but honestly you’ll be pleasantly surprised with how they turn out when the meat is raw packed. It makes for super tender meat with great flavor. If you do choose to brown the meat first it won’t be quite as tender and you may need more broth.

[@Mariaabroad]
