I so enjoy your videos. You have such a sweet spirit I find myself just smiling when I’m watching you I’m usually in a much better mood after watching you. I’m 74 and have learned so much from you. Wish KZbin had been around when my babies were little. They are now grown and have their own families. Thank you for taking your precious time to film and edit and download all your videos. Love your accent. You are such a busy bee and you just make my day brighter and better. Just wanted to tell you how much this Texas grandma enjoys getting to see a little part of your life.

Ruthann...you're my favorite homesteader on KZbin to watch! You are so calming, knowledgeable, easy going, and have such a way with raising children. I'm going to be 69 in two days, and wish that I could go back to 1973 and do family life all over again, using your principles. There are so many things I didn't do right, plus, at that time, I had no idea about getting back to nature and traditional foods, gardening, etc. I enjoy every single video you post, and I write down so many things. I'd love to be one of your neighbors or friends. I love you and your family...it reminds me of my Grandma and Grandpa's family, who I lived with for the first 3 years of my life. I think my mother had an idyllic childhood, but didn't know it, and rushed to do her own thing. She was an entrepreneur and did a very good job of both of her businesses, but I would have loved to have learned the old ways. Thank you for everything you do, and for putting out such wonderful videos. You are a true blessing from God!

I am of the same opinion. I want a do-over and I am so sad that I cannot have one. Ruthann, you are a blessing to so many people by doing these videos.

[@sandyshore8787]

I am going to be 69 also next month. Yes, 1973 is the year I got married at 18 years old. I feel the same way you do Bonita. I was the oldest of eight children, and growing up was pretty chaotic, due to some circumstances. I too wish I had the knowledge at the time I had my children , to do the things that you do Ruthann. I have four children and I was pretty busy, but did not do what you do! I knew how to make two large homemade loaves of honey whole wheat bread, which I loved making. I learned to make that at an adult education class for baking. My father always wanted a farm. But he was a baker and decorator since he was 13 years old. He needed to work when he was young. But he raised eight children with my mother, and they both worked hard, doing the best they could. My dad is 94 years old now . After selling his own bakery business, a one man bakery, he worked at a supermarket in the bakery dept. until he was in his late 80’s. He is still in such good health. Thank you for sharing your home life and farm life along with your beautiful children. You are so good at what you do. Everything! 😊❤

I am in mid 50’s and grew up with my grandparents on farm who married during depression and lived on fully sustainable farm. Grandma (who was my mom). I am actually getting ready to move back to homestead place with my son and daughter in law and we are once again Turing place back into fully sustainable farm. I am excited. Praise the Lord I am blessed to be able to do this and help raise grand baby garden and can while son farms and daughter in law works. I am starting to water bath can now for this winter. I don’t own pressure cooker. Have wanted to buy one but have not been able to yet.

[@kikilove1029]

I have a masters degree. It's basically useless in 95% of aspects of my life. I am here learning from you! Anyone 'educated' for awhile realizes it's not all it's cracked up to be.

[@bobbiekennedy5197]

My son says the same thing. He has a Masters as well and says in his life now it’s not very helpful

[@JustMe-jc2ft]

That's because master's degrees are specialized, showing you have knowledge in a narrow field. They would, by definition, not be of use across the breadth of your life. You should know that from your undergraduate degree. You probably hated the classes that weren't in your major and phoned those in, right?

[@maryseaman312]

My mother graduated from high school in 1950. She was a straight A student all four years, except for 1 B in physical education (long story). She told me that anyone who has been taught up to the eighth grade had all the tools necessary for getting their own education - - high school was just four more years of repetition. In our community, there were some very successful people who had barely been educated to the third grade - - but what an education they had! There is no education in public school that can produce what my great grandparents accomplished in their lifetime! What we are learning from you is so practical, helpful, and much more in-depth knowledge than was ever presented to me, and sadly - - much less so today. You don't just give us formulas and every more to make, but also teach us how to think our way through challenges. Quite a priceless gift. Thank you so much! I like watching the animals eat. I can feel the JOY!

[@Grammysgarden]

I always learn something from your videos. I’m 75 and am blessed to still grow some food and I preserve it. I started this 4 years ago when I moved from a city in Missouri to a small town.

The sweet potatoes sprout super fast if you put them in dirt and leave them on a heat mat! They are tropical plants so they do better very warm. Also love it every time you give the explanation for why you aren’t concerned about botulism. I’m in a rebel canning group so I personally do all these things too but it’s nice to hear another KZbin saying this stuff too. Botulism is not good, but understanding how it works makes it easy to neutralize the concern.

I'm a relatively new canner and I LOVE IT. I'm pretty brave and adventurous in the kitchen, but still get a little intimidated- mostly because I know I tend to get ahead of myself. My FAVORITE recipes are like this one: one jar at a time ingredients. I like knowing each jar has consistency and it's easier to scale up/down since it's a "per jar" measurement. I also don't like cooking a whole pot full of something only to jar it up and cook it again, although I see the necessity at times. Thank you so much for all you do! My grandson LOVES your videos!

This video is so timely for me. Just the other day I was telling a friend that I need to find a recipe for making baked beans. I tried a recipe two years ago and we didn’t really like it. I will be trying yours real soon.

[@dcrosby1972]

If you put a splash of vinegar into the water in the canner, it will eliminate that white film that is on the bottoms of the jars from the hard water.

[@rosiekerr8268]

Another marvellous day of preserving!!! My favourite type of your videos…besides seeing the kids helping out…and of course your marvellous pig family. Not to forget Lucky Ducky sitting on her nest xoxoxox

[@Ruthannzimm]

Thank you so much!

[@GodsDesire4me]

Hey Ruth Ann thanks for sharing your baked beans recipe. This is one I was looking for. I wanted to make sure I was using the correct beans. God bless you and your family ❤😊

[@suek7086]

My mom taught me to can in the early 70’s plus she bought me a Farm Journal Freezing and Canning book. I’m 74 now and she has been gone nearly 3 years. I so wish I could call her for advice.

[@laurierich5161]

what a nice looking canner!

[@robertoalicea2454]

Thank you. Watching your videos brings back many good memories of growing up on a farm. Lessons learned then has seen me through many of life challenges! 🙏🏼

❤😊❤😊❤😊 I'm watching on 9/11/2024

I really enjoyed watching your videos. I have canned food for thirty years. I'm slowing down a bit. My mother's shelves of canned goods looked like yours--- a wall of canned art. She did all of her canning with a wood stove and we didn't have running water. I love sustainable living.

[@teresacesario6247]

SHE REALLY IS QUITE INCREDIBLE!!!

[@danielleterry2331]

Wow they sent everything you could possibly need with that pressure canner what a awesome deal

[@peggybreaux8973]

More importantly, the sprouting process also reduces anti-nutrients like phytic acid, which can impair the absorption of iron, zinc, and calcium and may promote mineral deficiencies and trypsin inhibitor activity (TIA) which interferes with digestion.Sprouting chelates minerals, which means they attach to proteins that increase their functions in the body. Sprouting can also increase a compound called GABA which has been shown to regulate blood pressure. I had crohn's at 40, so did much research. Two books showed me how to restore my immune system. The makers diet by jordan Rubin and Nourishing Traditions by Sally Fallon. I am now 75. Took 10 years for my health to return. No medication for 25 years. Praise God

I ❤watching your videos, you have such a beautiful heart and spirit, love watching you preserve and utilize all your food without waste, love how the children help and the pigs munch🐷🥰

[@ambersykora352]

People are too ridiculous about food and food safety. Honestly. People have been canning for how many years????we have so much food waste because of this.

[@singing3495]

I don’t see being extra careful about food safety as ridiculous. If everyone in your family has a robust immune system, perhaps you can afford to risk having something growing in your canned goods. However, if you have a family member with compromised immunity (for example, someone with diabetes) you probably don’t want to risk the health and life of that person, someone you love even though they don’t have perfect, vibrant health.

[@holliecollier1523]

I have been canning for 50 years. A couple of years ago my immune system gave up the ghost! Still canning going on 76 and doing well! God is good!

[@ArleneAdkinsZell]

This channel is so inspiring, I just adore you and your family, thank you for your content. My late husband and I were Mennonite Fellowship and lived off grid in Wyoming, I am no longer physically capable of that life, but your channel gives me so many ideas of ways to make adjustments and live more simple.

[@denisepineda1788]

Well, RuthAnn, you always teach me something. I didn’t know that the pigs would get sick from too many raw potato peels!! That was just one of the things I learned from you today. I love your videos. I need to can some more baked beans so I will be trying your baked beans. Last summer, I tried doing your dry canned potatoes and we absolutely love them. I do not care that much for the ones canned in water. Many thanks for all of the knowledge you share each week. I love your videos.

[@sojourner59]

I very much appreciate and consider it a blessing that you share your wealth of Homestead & food preservation knowledge. Thank you! You encourage me to be more self-sufficient, which is a very important thing these days.

[@janicew6222]

We just purchased tickets to the Rory Feek event and I really look forward to meeting you. I truly enjoy your videos and daily instagram posts. Blessings.

[@Ruthannzimm]

See you there!!!

[@nancyskinner5207]

Last year instead of doing sweet potato slips in a glass with water and toothpicks, I layed the sweet potatoes on their side and covered them with light soil, leaving just the top side exposed. I kept them watered and I got lots of slips much faster than the traditional method. You may have enough time to get some in this year.

[@SheilaD7]

I love all of the details you give us on your videos. Thank you for sharing! So much easier to sprout sweet potatoes in a pot of dirt and get a lot more sprouts.😊

[@annettestoddard4322]

I am so happy you redid the baked beans video. I was going to look it up and try them. Perfect timing for me. Thank you so much.

[@kimberlyrogers7820]

Thank you so much for this recipe! I have tried a few baked bean canning recipes, and they just weren't what I wanted. I canned 4 quarts of these, and they are perfect! This is going to be my go to! Have more in the canner right now, ready to stock the shelves!

[@Theresa-o3i]

I always love watching all of your videos and also your music you play with the videos. Thank you

[@carolgladney9890]

Watching your videos is like when my best friend and I get together for a day of canning. Thank you for being so down to earth, practical, and giving ideas for substitution people who don't know those things. Like adding molasses if you don't have brown sugar. So many people don't know those things. ❤☺️🙏

[@chevypreps6417]

I like the fact that you are putting the ingredients into the jars individually which gives you more flexibility. As expected the For-jars canner looks fabulous. Thanks for the demo. Your tip about waiting for a additional 30 is a good one. I will sometimes let the canner sit for an hour unless I am using Harvest Guard lids.
