[@felicitywoodruffe4087]

I am in the uk so I understand I cannot enter but can I still get the canning /preserving guide ? Please

[@graceysouthwell5653]

Was not able to submit i am in Nova scotia

[@nancycowan6109]

My husband of 46 years is resting after his chemo today (he’s doing really well) and I made him watch this with me. He doesn’t mind if I have a little crush on Dan. 🤣❤️

[@JohnSeltzer-l7p]

Prayers for you and your family.. ❤

[@LittleMountainRanch]

I hope the chemo is successful. I don’t mind you having a little crush on Dan. I totally get it. 😉

[@SJC49]

The best of wishes to your hubby! I am 75 and have a little crush on Dan as well!😍🇨🇦

[@janeweldon8874]

I love watching the two of you working together, you make a great team! Thanks for all the wonderful videos! ❤

[@Margo5050]

Haha. My 75 yo husband has a crush on Mary Berry (public tv in the states/she’s from England). She was a judge in The Great British Bake-off. I think that was the name. She’s written a 100 cookbooks I think of one kind or another.

[@simonereiter5845]

It‘s so interesting what you tell about canning and safety. I live in Austria/Europe and I dont know the rule about the lemon juice because we are told, that tomatoes have the right PH level anyways. Also for me it sounds like making the sauce disgusting when added even more acidity 🙈 generally our government does not panic so much about all the at-home canned products, its been done for many years, nothing happened. Pressure canning is also non-existent here, because a) they dont sell these pressure canners and b) nobody is scared about bad things being in canned products. For example jam/marmelade: we just cook the fruit with sugar and pectin and put it hot in the glass, seal it, then it creates vacuum inside and done. No water bath canning, no freezing, no nothing. Just put on the shelve and enjoy for years because the sugar content is enough for long shelve life. So interesting, how different cultures approach this topic!

[@trudyhoffmann6405]

Our. Tomatoes have been bred to be sweeter hence the lemon juice. Yours may be different. I would go on the careful side, it really doesn't change the flavor to much. I grew up the same way on jams etc. But they don't take very long in the water bath. We used melted wax on those as well. Now that's a no go

[@Mickey-jn8hz]

I am 82 and I canned 37 jars of tomatoes yesterday and helped can 70 jars with my sister in law. Tomorrow I have 37 more to can. I have slowed down but I still enjoy filling my pantry with great products. I am subscribing to your channel, thank you for all that you do and will be looking in to the survey and possible prize.

[@karensullivan6545]

I have been canning for almost 50 years. My children used to help me turn the hand crank on my squeezo to make tomato soup, sauces, applesauce and grape juice. Then my husband retired and got involved with turning the handle. The next day he hooked up a cordless drill to turn the hand crank. It is amazing! If you don’t have little ones around to turn squeezo’s handle, I highly recommend setting up a cordless drill. It will speed things up. Cleaning squeezo was always a challenge. My husband soon hauled everything outside and blasted squeezo with the hose and high water pressure. Voila, the mess is easier to clean up on the grass using water pressure. Why didn’t I ever think of that?

[@AdamChenevert]

You can tell by his body language how much he adores you/ What a nice way to spend the day together

[@LittleMountainRanch]

And after 33 years, I feel so grateful we love each other now as much or even more than we ever did.

[@NaBi_1307]

141 jars of 1 product in one day is INSANE ! Well done ! Team work makes the dream work ♥ !!

[@OurIntrovertedHomestead]

You and Dan are so good together! It's nice to see that after all of the time that you two have been together, Dan still makes you blush and giggle like a school girl.... 💙💚 ..my Hubby and I are the same way, even after over 34 years married!

[@TDew1502]

Love seeing husband and wife working together in the kitchen ❤

[@tamaraameling8885]

I learned the hard way to always wear shoes while canning. A few years ago while scalding tomatoes using a pot with a pasta strainer insert I emptied the scalded tomatoes into the ice water, quickly put the strainer back into the boiling pot. It splashed up and I suffered third degree burns on the top of one foot. Many lessons learned that fateful day!!!

[@carolynmills513]

Mom always told me to start with shoes. I thought it was for comfort, but she was concerned about stepping on things. Hope your foot is all better with no lasting effects.

[@celiawiggins3161]

It's always fun to see Dan helping in the kitchen. Such a great couple 💑.

[@Gabbysneice]

loved him be all flirty so cute❤

[@mustwereallydothis]

That juice you poured down the sink is really quit deliscious. I like to add a little salt to it. It's even better if you soak some chopped onions and sweet peppers in it after adding the salt. It's one of our favorite treats on the days we can salsa.

[@karenrogers6730]

Also seen people can the juice and then use it to cook rice in or add it as vegetable stock in soups etc.

[@mustwereallydothis]

@@karenrogers6730 That would be tasty. If I ever have some last long enough, I'll have to try cooking rice with it.

[@lindakunkel2470]

The juice should be kept with the tomatoes. Part of the tomato…. Just need to cook down more.

[@SherryEllesson]

I love that stuff - use it for soup stock!

[@FireflyHomestead]

I came here to say the same thing! Tomato juice is great as its own product.

[@heathernotzdaniels6350]

We all need that kind of helper in the kitchen. Kudos for Dan to get the giggles rolling. :)

[@danamama6766]

Yes!!! :)

[@denisepineda1788]

You and your husband definitely take the prize. I could not do that many in a day. My feet would not hold up. In my younger days maybe. I still love the process and end products. Thanks for showing how you get that many done. I appreciate it.

[@w.c.fields7355]

Quick tip , If you put milled sauce in the fridge over night in will seperate. Then Siphon water off bottom of vessel

[@jackiegagne2625]

For those with arthritis in your legs or feet - wear compression socks - helps alot!

[@sheriewirgau9906]

Watching you and your husband work together was too funny. Maybe you can put together some of your bloopers!

[@We-Fly-Soon_Sister]

Your husband is very nice and very comical too. I'm really glad that he helped you that's a big load off of you too isn't it? You're such an awesome woman I enjoy watching you I don't can and I don't grow a garden or anything but I love to watch people accomplish great things and you accomplish great things every day.

[@myriamlapierre2754]

I just finished canning 30 cans of tomato paste, 7 cans of pizza sauce, 14 cans of tomato sauce, 6 cans of diced tomatoes, 3 cans of marinara sauce and 11 cans of garden salsa sauce… I know how much work goes into this! Hi from Toronto!

[@carolynmills513]

Wow! Huge job. Hope you had some help.

[@tinak3700]

I canned only 7 jars, 20 lbs worth, and i was pooped out! Bravo to both of you on all that work canning. I do mine in batches. Going to process another 50 lbs next week... i love watching those cans on the shelf!

[@sheilaMagilicudy]

So glad its not just me that has the crush on Dan. He is so sweet. So are you Chelsea, you make a beautiful couple. So nice to see couples sharing in work like canning. My husband helps me too when it comes to large batches and so appreciate it. Hard day at work alright and just look at all that fantastic product to put in your pantry. I have been going crazy at home too. Just can't get enough of canning. Cheers

[@sharonswisher7274]

WOW! That's a lot in one say. My hats off to you Lady.

[@cathykillion6544]

Enjoyed watching y’all work together

[@carlachappell371]

I love seeing you two together. I think he was being a mischievous bad boy! Ha, Ha. Loved it. I am getting ready to can tomatoes so this video was awesome! Thanks for all the good stuff you give us. Absolutely love your channel. My favorite one!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Thank you so much!

[@rev.ruthe.gallot9103]

loved this video so much! Yes, your efforts, skill, and ultimate production was amazing, but for me watching you work together just warmed my heart. My late husband and I spent much of our dating sharing our love of canning - we'd go to farms, harvest from his garden and go to PYO farms and them can it all up, getting to know each other over that shaed interest. We'd both had learned canning as children from our parents. What a joy to watch you both. Thanks for sharing and great work getting all that completed!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

That warms my heart. I’m sorry for your loss.

[@countrychickbrews4640]

I'm glad you shared the blow out jar with us. I had the same thing happen last week. I was so confused. The jar didn't break even though people who have been canning for decades tried to convince me it did. I came to the realization that I simply didn't get the lid screwed on tight enough. It happens. You don't like to waste any product but snafus happen. For newbies please don't let this scare you away from canning. It's such a satisfying way to be able to provide for your family. 💚

[@DebYoung63]

Chelsea, I got the electric tomato mill and it is truly a game changer! I am also using a presto electric canner! The whole process is so much easier than hand peeling and deseeding tomatoes! Technology is awesome and I have learned so much from your channel. ❤

[@CharlotteJones-hz5fr]

Chelsea you are a great teacher. You multi task so well.

[@carolynmills513]

Always helps to remind your husband how much work it is, if he doesn't help canning often. Amazing job! These marathons aremy favorite videos.

[@JaneStein-p1z]

You two are the hardest working team I know. Great fun watching you. Even though it was a lot of work, you guys seemed to be having loads of fun. Love and hugs coming to you from sunny California.❤️❤️

[@sgrvtl7183]

SO NICE to have Dan in the kitchen with you❗What a beautiful sight, all those jars of tomatoes, sauce etc.💚

[@sandraschuster5762]

I just love how much in love you are. This is wonderful. Passion and love for your family and nature is the best foundation for a happy life. And a great looking skin . My wonderful husband and I have been sailing for the past three years. On my sailing boat I had my pressure cooker and my sour dough. I have been canning almost all of my adult life. We just sold our sailing boat and bought a house in Greece. We just started planting our selfmade highbeds. In Greece you can practically sow and grow all year. This is amazing. We feel so blessed. And we are a couple in love just like you are. ❤

[@WhatWeDoChannel]

I enjoyed this! I learned to can as a young man because I am an avid gardener and I realized it’s not really fair to bring a big harvest into the house and expect my Mum and then wife to just deal with it, plus you know what they say about what to do if you want something done right😇. I’m amazed how many tomatoes you processed in one day, I see that lots of canners is your secret, I just use one All American 921. I have geared myself up to do one 25KG (55lb) bushel at a time! I have a Fabio Leonardi milling machine too, from Consigleos. My advice to anyone who gets one is buy the splash guard and only wash the gasket in cold water, hot water causes the gasket to expand! It was nice to see someone following all the safe canning rules, I always add bottled Lemmon or citric acid too. I was interested in your use of Crock pots, I use two 40 quart pans, one for pre cooking the tomatoes and then I mill directly into the second pan and use it for cooking down the passata. Thanks again, your production was truly epic!! Klaus

[@carmelaisew2]

Those are some big water bath pots. Love your channel

[@D.J.R63]

My husband loves helping me can, it’s so rare, I love seeing Dan help you❤

[@rebeccawatson9284]

I like Dan's flower apron!

[@jeanniedorsey6772]

Y'all are amazing? I know a lot of hard work goes into all of this. One thing I know, you must absolutely be organized! I saw some beautiful jars of product there. If that was my first time to can that much, I'd be so overwhelmed.

[@chelseafailla9887]

I worked on some food preservation tonight while watching a couple of your videos. Was a good way to pass the time - thank you!

[@judyabernathy80]

What a precious soul mate you have! He got right in there and canned all day with you. That is true love. And, those tomato products look heavenly. You truly are blessed. But, both you and Dan are extremely hard workers, so you deserve every good thing that comes your way. Blessings always! ♥️🙏🏼♥️

[@cathyorth7457]

You two are awesome! What a beautiful sight! How wonderfully fulfilling to see all of your hard work done and ready to go on the pantry shelves. Thanks for sharing!😊

[@kathleensturm4116]

Yes shoes are a must! So glad you mentioned it.

[@brandeegoodnight532]

Me and a couple of my girlfriends did 500lbs of tomatoes this weekend. 166 jars. Love these weekends of processing but they are exhausting . 😊

[@janawright1715]

Proof that I love to watch you two do whatever you do, is that I watched this whole video an I am allergic to tomatoes! Seriously, a sad allergy to have, but life just goes that way sometimes. I enjoy your channel so much. I love to cook! So keep up the great job and I will be here to watch! Thanks!

[@Addy1027]

Hello and waving madly from Upstate NY! I watch your videos but I usually never comment. This video I had to make an exception and tell you it was one of the BEST vids I've seen in a such a long time, so heart warming! I was smiling and feeling accomplished right along with you! CANNING IS HARD WORK! Please, please, many, many more future videos with your husband! Your chemistry is out of this world!! God bless!

[@LittleMountainRanch]

Awe, thank you so much!❤

[@nanathecanner]

Bravo you two!! Job well done!! 😊😊😊 Enjoyed watching! I know and can appreciate all the work that goes into a day like this! Thank you for sharing with us! 😊

[@N3r1a]

We all love some Desert Hill Ranch Roma's. Just finishing my 250lbs of sauce. We already canned lots of Salsa and whole tomatoes. Have a nice day. Wonderful video.

[@mariehowlett25]

Love watching your videos I enjoy seeing how you are growing vegetables and some fruit. I had a mini garden last year I was able to grow four big containers full of potatoes I had peppers tomatoes cucumbers carrots and okra. It was so much fun I hope next year I can grow more veggies since I live in a City from a fan in CT

[@loricook7670]

Well Done, what a wonderful blessing! Good job, Chelsea and Dan. Teamwork makes the dream work!

[@poodledaddles1091]

I’m so glad that you got that freeze dryer and kitchen blade… you definitely need all the shortcuts that are possible!

[@merledowning7192]

Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us. You and your husband are a great team!!!!

[@sparkygrl8557]

Wow what a day!Lots of Goodness!💙

[@noreenp.9858]

Hard work pays off and more hands make lighter work. What an amazing accomplishment to crank out all that product in one day. Great job Dan and Chelsea!🍅🍅🍅🍅

[@veronicacarrington5824]

I really admire you'll for taking you'll time planting ,careing, for your tomato plants and then going through the process of canning different kinds of sauces that's just awesome you'll know where the tomatoes came from how they was process etc. to many people is interest in how they are dressed ,but we really need to be interest in what foods are going in us and where they come from 😊

[@tinacoppenbarger3412]

I love your busy days. That was a lot of tomatoes. I really enjoyed the video and seeing Dannwith you. Have a blessed day.

[@debbiemarks6086]

Love his flower on his apron 😂😂

[@quinnhen2325]

Canned two batches of tomatoes into pasta sauce. (Half bushel at a time) I split up the work in two days. (Blanch, peel and seed first day. Cook down and can the second day. I’m disabled so can’t stand long periods and do it all alone. I got 13 quarts of sauce, also made 4 cowboy candy for my future son n law, 4 quarts of blueberry pie filling, 2 blueberry syrup and 3 blueberry juice. Gave my mom a quart of tomato juice from the fresh tomatoes. Next are apples. I’m in the Adirondacks and apple season is here!! I’ll make two batches of apple pie filling. It’s so good!! I use it in bread pudding or we eat as a sweet treat. (I’ve blanched with and without the cut on the bottom of the tomato and the time difference is huge to get the skins to split. I do the X in the bottom and take out the stem button. Just takes a few minutes for the split to start.

[@buggyfamily47]

Loved this! Watched as I was having a big canning day. Feels so good!

[@esmeraldarodriguez7012]

It’s amazing to see all your beautiful food. What a blessing to have such knowledge and skills not to mention the amazing help you get from your family. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. I love Meyer lemons and preserving some would be awesome.

[@wendyr435]

Holy cow that’s a lot of jars in one day! Thank you for addressing the blow out issue. I’ve had that happen twice this year and I wasn’t sure why. I know now! My tomatoes are mostly green here in southern Arizona but I definitely will have a lot to deal with (for me) when they all ripen. I pull them off the vine when they blush because we have all sorts of critters who will gladly put holes in a beautiful tomato making it unusable for canning. Anyway I’m new to your channel and wanted to say hi too!

[@sandijammes7761]

That's a CRAZY amount of canning done in one day! Kudos to you both & here's to a winter full of healthy, yummy meals... right at your fingertips!! Thanks for sharing. I could almost taste those melons you grew from here!! God bless you & yours 🙏🙏🙏

[@vickiwestlund7777]

So gratifying at the end of your day! You made me smile piling up your mylar bags to “organize later!” I do this every year.. even with my canning jars! (to organize later) Blessing from eastern Washington!

[@lindaclark8955]

great job thanks for helping Dan

[@iartistdotme]

That was really fun. You managed to present all the necessary information and get so much done all while enjoying your time with Dan. What a great video.

[@published1789]

Very interesting to see this at scale and to see what a difference some of the tools make. Well done!

[@jenniferkingsbury8229]

Wow!! Great job!!! We did 70lbs today and I thought that was a lot!!! My guy rigged a hack and was able to use his drill on the food mill. Love having all that sauce on the shelf. I could have used your advice on figuring out your meals for the day...we skipped meals and ended up ordering out...which defeats our whole purpose in why we are growing our own food. I'll remember that for next time!!!

[@michj7185]

Well done!! I laughed when you discovered you had a lid come off during processing- I had that very same thing happen today as I was processing tomatoes! I guess I didn’t tighten that jar quite enough 😆

[@johnensminger7675]

Nice job!! That's cool! What a blessing for you guys! Thanks for sharing your life with us!

[@janninehaslam9204]

Chelsea, I love your vlogs so much....however, this one was so cute watching Dan, and you interact with each other at the beginning. The utter respect, adoration, and love you both have for each other is so beautiful and heartwarming ❤️. Love and blessings to you all. Fantastic vlog xjx

[@jmt7676]

Simply WOW.

[@KayeAlthaus-ie3vp]

Thank you for all the great information and explanations!!

[@kdonor]

Nice! I was processing tomatoes while I watched.

[@sueglazier4718]

Wow! I’m impressed!

[@graceyoung516]

I feel pleased to see your husband ☺✨👍

[@ChristineKelly1000]

That was a great days work. Poor auld Dan looked wrecked at the end. You have amazing stamina Chelsea.😊😊😊

[@michelea9142]

Crazy amount of work! Glad you had Dan to help! Definitely good you are passionate about canning! 😊

[@AZJH8374]

When you reconstitute diced tomatoes, can you use them as fresh tomatoes like on 🌮 taco's? Dan's been on plenty, but l never knew he was so funny! You two crack me up together. Nice to have him on making me laugh out loud. I truly needed that today. Thank you. Have him on more often. He'd be fun to hear comments as you read notes from the OLD cookbooks. Lol. God bless you both. 🙏🏻

[@TeshaS05]

I think not, because when you thaw tomatoes after freezing the lose their texture. But also, i dont have a FD or have consumed FD tomatoes so i'm not completely sure.

[@coloradopackratprepper]

Dehydrated tomatoes kinda plump up . Its mostly salsa like consistency

[@belieftransformation]

Wow, you’re a great partnership! Thanks for sharing bits of your very busy day, plus the teaching as you go! Blessings to all 🤗🇨🇦

[@lindaweber3083]

Amazing! Chelsea and Dan, you are such a sweet couple. Great work!

[@lynsmith2698]

Awww you two rooked this canning day, we are hoping to make a trip soon down to Ashcroft for vegis and whatever else I can get, since we had no garden this year.. great video Dan and Chelsea 🌷🇨🇦

[@kathleenritter4532]

What a blessing you 2 are for each other. A truly incredible day. Jars are beautiful. Great job.

[@angieknaphus9537]

I love how cute you two are together! ❤ Loved the video

[@michellewilson4815]

Great job 👏👏 Chelsea and Dan. Great team work. Everything looks delicious.

[@beckykukoski8678]

Thank you for explaining the siphon issue. I have had that problem before but i learned to not be in such a hurry to take the jars out of the canner. I have another way to make tomato sauce from roma tomatoes if anyone is interested.

[@greenrockgarden2851]

😂we love you, Dan. Lol I’ve been water bath canning and freezing food. Can’t wait to start pressure canning.

[@kaybusby7507]

Great job guys. What a workout for both of you. Love Dan helping you. This winter you will remember all the love and energy that went into each jar. Thank you for sharing.

[@jennifersieracki7607]

Love having Dan in the kitchen! Everyone needs a silly husband ❤

[@icecreamfever123]

If you have never raised Amish Paste tomatoes I think you would love them. They are very meaty and grown especially for sauces,salsa ect. I freeze mine and as they ripen and after I get a large amount of them frozen I then have a canning day. Thaw them out over night, open your tomatoes pour the water off of the tomatoes then run through a blender. After that pour through a food mill for any seeds you may have. This saves lots of time cooking your tomatoes down. I have very thick tomato sauce making it this way.

[@veronikalambi9831]

Black Krim are my FAVVVVE tomato for sandwiches, etc

[@HelenKitley]

… and he’s still smiling at the end !!! … he’s clearly a keeper 😉😊

[@paulanelson1884]

Wow that was an amazing canning video! Y’all were awesome! Such knowledge in knowing how to preserve food right!

[@megs1966]

Loved seeing you work together

[@user-de6em7rg5f]

Love your channel so educational and you explain everything so well, love to see you and Dan together so sweet. God Bless you and your Family

[@13MoonsOverMayhem]

You are a wonder! It took me all day to get through (7) 12 oz jars of salsa yesterday. Granted, I had no help, and only one canning pot, and arthritis in all my joints, but man. You and Dan are an amazing and durable team!

[@ShelahGames]

I just love how thorough you are in educating us , you two are amazing

[@georginaboateng4901]

Thank you

[@kathleenreynolds6492]

Great job. Impressive- and you filmed, too! Thanks.

[@SherryEllesson]

Thanks for such a good video! It's been a hot minute since I did any canning, but enjoyed it immensely when I did. I had a recipe from (I think it was) Putting Food By called Tomato Junk. It was essentially a seasoned sauce that, when opened during the cold, damp days of winter, smelled like a breath of summer. So glad you and Dan have each other and can work together and share some fun.

[@AZJH8374]

Chelsea, your video comes up & you bring me joy! I absolutely love your channel. I love cooking from OLD cookbooks. I love your canning, harvesting, all the things. God bless you all and many prayers 🙏🏻 Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻
