What Can We Get Done in 3 Hours? Canning & Dehydrating | Preserving the Harvest | Food Preservation

Spend the afternoon with me getting as much food preservation done as we can in a short window of time. A full day of preservation or a preservation marathon are great but time doesn't always allow for that. In this video I waterbath can pickled dilly beans, pickled peppers and peach hot sauce. I also load up the dehydrator for more shelf stable vegetables to enjoy throughout the winter.
Dilly Beans
2 1/2 lbs beans
2 c water
2 1/2 c vinegar
1/4 c salt
7 cloves garlic
6 dill heads or 6 tbsp dill seed
1 1/2 tsp chili flakes
Trim beans to fit pint jars. To make brine add water, vinegar, salt and 1 cloves garlic to a pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Fill each jar with a dill head, a clove of garlic and 1/4 tsp chili flakes. Add beans and top with brine to 1/2 inch headspace. Process 15 minutes in a waterbath canner.
Pickled Peppers
6 c vinegar
2 c water
3 cloves garlic
Hot peppers of choice, sliced
Add vinegar, water and garlic to a pot. Bring to a boil and then reduce to a simmer for 10 minutes. Fill jars with pepper slices and add brine to 1/2 inch headspace. Process jars for 10 minutes in a waterbath canner.
Peach Hot Sauce
1 1/2 lbs chopped peaches
1 c apple cider vinegar
1/3 c honey
1/2 small white or yellow onion
3 cloves garlic
6 hot peppers (I used sugar rush peach and cayenne)
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp bottled lime juice
Add all ingredients to a pot and bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer and cook until everything is soft, 10-15 mins. Blend with an immersion blender. Ladle into pint or half pint jars to 1/2 inch headspace. Process for 15 minutes in a waterbath canner.

Thank you for your videos! I really enjoy them all. Question, how in the world do you manage to keep your white shirt clean? You certainly have a skill there that I am lacking😂. Have a great day!

[@abbeyverigin]

Thank you Gretchen :) honestly I’m not sure, haha. It is a miracle. I’m typically very prone to spilling 😂. I was playing with fire and should probably be wearing something darker or an apron.

I just made your peach hot sauce using only cayenne peppers. Absolutely delicious! I had never heard of a sugar rush peach pepper until this video. How does it compare to the heat of a Cayenne? Frank’s red hot is my general limit for heat tolerance, unfortunately.

Great video I been wanting to make dilly beans think I'm going to try

[@abbeyverigin]

Thank you Gianna! I hope you enjoy them

I made dilly beans for my kids for many years but I added a couple of hot peppers to the jars since we love all things spicy. Sadly they have been grown and gone from our house for many years. The peach hot sauce I can’t wait to try. It sounds delish! Both of these will be added to their Christmas this year as I always give them a basket of goodies I make. BTY I made all of your different kinds of hummus excluding the oil and salt and they are great. I just blend them up and add my seasonings. I love them! Thanks for sharing your recipes with us ❤

[@abbeyverigin]

Hi Vickie! Thank you for watching! I should have added some hot peppers - spicy pickles are always our favorites. Those are the very best kind of gifts. I’m so glad you enjoyed the hummus! I appreciate your support.

I noticed about 5months ago a marketing manager gave you some great advice about changing your channel name to help you grow. You should really consider it seriously.

[@kaymack5304]

If this is true I’d try it because you should definitely have more subscribers.

[@babsgilbert518]

Thank you for sharing. I'm going to try making the hot sauce, it looks great 😊

[@abbeyverigin]

Thank you Babs. Hope you enjoy it!

[@jmuth890]

You make everything look so easy. I enjoyed the video

[@abbeyverigin]

Thank you Jill! I appreciate the kind words. Thanks for watching :)

[@jimt6589]

Another great vid.

[@abbeyverigin]

Thank you Jim :)

[@juliecolbourn8232]

Did you try the hot sauce before you canned it. Just curious. My kitchen is currently being renovated so I am having to be creative with my canning and just using plug in elements. I have piles of beans so I will try the dilly bean’s tomorrow and perhaps all 3 recipes as I have everything. Thanks

[@juliecolbourn8232]

By the way I made the basil simple syrup but I used cinnamon basil and it was delish. So interesting the cinnamon flavour of the basil.

[@abbeyverigin]

That was my situation all last canning season - made things a little more interesting! Yes I tried the hot sauce and it is incredible. So glad you enjoyed the basil simple syrup Julie. I have some cinnamon basil growing, I may need to try that! Thank you for watching & best of luck canning through your renovation :)

[@juliecolbourn8232]

Just curious, what do you do with your cinnamon basil?

[@nancyneufeld851]

Do you put your dehydrated tomatoes in oil once they come out of the dehydrator?

[@abbeyverigin]

Hi Nancy. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don’t. If I add olive oil I store in the fridge.
