Hi Becky, I just wanna say how much I love listening to your videos. I am totally blind and I want to say thank you so much for always talking about the recipe amounts that you make and also how to make the recipes. Hope you have a wonderful day I am going to try your families sausage, stuffed sweet mini peppers. Can’t wait to try it. It sounded so good. I had to do a grocery pick up order so I can get the stuff to make it. Hope to hear from You

It's so ridiculous but my favorite parts of this video is the thunk sound of the onion rolling off the island and the slight graveliness of you voice, Becky, after tasting the jalapeno. Watching your videos literally makes my day.

[@saraschoen9818]

In a world with so much going on all the time, so many complicated issues, and things we couldn’t even have considered to happen a few years back, its so refreshing to see a childlike excitement and enjoyment for simple things like your food processor chopping jalapeños or watching you enjoy trying out new recipes. And, your audio sounds great with the mic!!

[@barbkelzenberg2394]

[@livinglifesulit]

It may have already been said, but it might be easier to pull carrots by pushing down first and then pulling straight out! Love the video! Thanks for taking the time!

[@buffmomma1]

As someone who is allergic to pepper and has asthma, I can't tell you how appreciative I feel of your comment on air quality while you were making these recipes. It was also nice for you to express that your husband probably would touch one of the recipes, but your brother would love it. It just acknowledged the differences in people. I think that is just one of the things that makes you great at what you do. Love your videos.

[@user-wn1gk2kg1w]

You must be so proud of how well your garden turned out your first year in your new home!! Love all your recipes and watching all the things you do in your kitchen and your garden. I don't often get to costco so I really miss watching you shop there, lol. Have a wonderful weekend!

[@VWilson-GrdnGrl]

It is good to wear the gloves to prevent accidently burning yourself, but also to help preventing burning someone. I just heard someone else stress the importance of this, especially when taking care of young children, which is something that had never occurred to me. Good job Becky!

[@justcallmesuzzie]

Becky, when you took that slice of pepper and put it in your mouth, your reaction was priceless. I busted out laughing so hard because I can relate to that. I do it ALL THE TIME! My family keep telling me, "When are you ever going to learn not to do that?" I always tell them, "NEVER!" LOL

I have been canning for the first times!!! I canned pickled beets last year to test the waters. This year I’ve canned pasta sauce, wine jelly, apple raspberry jelly, and a huge amount of apple pie filling!! So far so good!! I get my produce from a local farmer. Got the half bushel of apples from an orchard up the road from me.

It's so beautiful putting a carrot you grew from seed to that.

[@carolynmema2010]

Becky, it's so Cool hanging out with you & seeing the delicious food in your garden.

[@09echols]

Hi Becky. If you look at your ingredients for the hot sauce you'll see that all of the items are canning safe. To can it you would process it based on the item that would process the longest. This would not be considered rebel canning because all of the ingredients are canable.

[@lisascott4314]

Becky your grass is so green and beautiful here in TN we've had a couple of frosts beautiful carrots and food have a great weekend!

[@ecocentrichomestead6783]

When you harvest your carrots, press down on the carrot root first. It then pulls up easier. Another reason for smaller jars is that, once opened, the produce starts to lose quality. if you have it packed in jars of just the right size, you always use it at peak quality.

[@stormihymnway8134]

My ex husband and I had a garden at our house. We grew a bumper crop of Habanero peppers. He was the heat monster ...not me! When he was processing the peppers I had to leave the house. I was choking so badly on the airborne pepper. I have occasional asthma and those peppers really had a bad effect on me!

[@lorelei9393]

I don't even like hot sauce but enjoyed watching the process. You never know when you're going to learn something new that will come in handy for another project 😉

[@artemisfowl66]

Becky is here. Total joy! Now my weekend can truly begin and with the perfect start. 🥰

[@jeniferbanda5981]

So glad to see you put the gloves on! Years ago, when habaneros were just making their way into popular culture, my mother and I did a canning project without knowing the exact heat levels. I had a test that night for statistics and my professor sent me home as soon as I finished it because of the redness of my hands. Found out that soaking the hands in milk helps cut the pain...

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Someone said urine works too, but I’d rather use milk myself.

[@danniemcdonald7675]

Several years ago, I embarrassed myself at a Mexican restaurant while eating some "mild" salsa (I don't tolerate the hot stuff). As I was gulping down my water, which wasn't helping things, my sweet waiter calmly handed me a glass of iced tea. I gulped it down and was able to breathe and talk again. He explained that the tannins in the tea interacted with the capsaicin to help neutralize it. I've never looked that up, but it worked! I didn't even care that the tea was unsweetened 😂

[@ashleycoker9381]

Hi Becky! I feel like we are friends at this point😊. I grew a red jalapeño because I was dying to see one and it was SUPER HOT. I read that the color doesn’t affect the heat level but I’m not sure because it felt so much hotter than green ones. I’m trying to wait for the rest of my green jalapeños to turn red. I love the taste but WHEW! Thank you for being my internet friend and such an inspiration to try new things and stay positive and true to yourself.

[@cherylscholtz3152]

I was just on your Scratch Pantry looking for a recipe and lo and behold you came up. I think my searching for a recipe can wait😊.

We appreciate your attention to detail and all the hard work you put in to give us quality content such as the camera, microphone and great camera angles. Thanks for another fun video ❤

[@nancycy9039]

Becky, it probably doesn’t make or break this recipe, but liquid measuring is traditionally done in liquid measuring cups not the dry measure flat top ones. The measurements are slightly different for the two. Mostly the liquid measure gives you an accurate amount when you get the cup up to eye level to see the liquid at the correct line - and it’s much easier to not spill it!! I love your channel and this hot sauce recipe looks sooo great I’m going to have to try it. I don’t eat sugar though, so I’m wondering whether it would suffer terribly without the brown sugar. Maybe with stevia instead?

[@cynthiafisher9907]

You might want to research that, I have heard that some sugar alternatives turn bitter during canning.

[@nancycy9039]

@@cynthiafisher9907 thanks - will see what I can find. Now that I’m thinking about it, I haven’t seen any store bought canned foods containing stevia. Maybe just leave it out, or add a tiny bit at the time of serving would work.

Becky, you are very adventurous. I never double a recipe, canning or other until I know that I like the way it turns out. I'm with you on smaller jars. I use pints and half-pints almost exclusively (I'm canning for just myself). When Baby Acre gets bigger you will probably use quart jars again.

[@michellesimon105]

Hey Becky! Great video, as usual. I have the same kitchenaid attachment. Just wait until you use it for bulk chopping onions. GAME CHANGER! It is obviously not worth it for one or two onions, but when you have a big cooking day or you need to chop a lot, it is very helpful. Also the softer the food the lower the speed and the harder the food the higher you want the speed to be. I want to like it for tomatoes, but for me they come out mushy rather than diced (but I was having problems with my lower gears on my mixer, which I have recently replaced), that has just been my experience, you may feel differently. I also love to use it for celery, potatoes, and occasionally carrots (I get a little paranoid because they are so hard)
