CANNING COLESLAW FOR FAST FOOD MEALS

[@yahushaismyshepherd1179]

I made your recipe back in August if I remember correctly. My daughter thought I was nuts. Boy was she delighted and everyone loved it. Last month made another 15 pints. Still have 10 heads left and decided to make another round of canning coleslaw. Best recipe I learned in 2021. Bless you and thank you for another addition to our pantry staples. Unbelievable how crunchy it is.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it delicious and inexpensive to make which makes it a win win in books. Thank you for your continued support in 2022 and Blessing on the year ahead! Colleen

I messed up. All went well and delicious, then I 'cooked' it in the canning process! So, I have cabbage cooked coleslaw! Keeping it, but I messed up. How does one keep it from cooking? Just sealing? I know 10 minutes.

I made this the other day, used less sugar and no sweet peppers. I ended up with 7 pints that I steam canned (love steam canning! It’s an approved method for high acid foods and so much more efficient than waterbath canning). I had a half jar left over so I put it in the fridge and we had it tonight with dinner. I drained off the brine, mixed some mayonnaise in and YUM!! We had it in our tacos. It’s already below freezing here in my part of Alaska and it’s so nice to have shelf stable foods ready to go, and a safe way of preserving our garden harvest over the long, cold winter. Thank you so much for your videos!

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello Michelle, I'm happy to hear that you are enjoying the recipe and yes it is good drained with mayonnaise. Its really versatile! We had our first hard frost last night but so far we have had an amazing fall with brightly colored trees and beautiful fall days. Best wishes, Colleen

I just picked up a bunch of pre-cut coleslaw from an in store special! All with good expire dates so what the heck, I grabbed them all! I have arthritis in my hands and it's super difficult to chop cabbage so I'm sort of cheating on that part. Prepared my coleslaw as you've directed (and copied down the recipe). Thank you very much for sharing! I can't wait to have coleslaw anytime we want it without having to go out to the store.

[@geg3758]

Smart move. I used pre cut coleslaw & added capsicum & onion. It’s delicious

[@sandijammes7761]

@ Joan Kelley - I buy those bags every chance I get on mark down/clearance. The ones that feel like they've been vacuum sealed seem to last the longest. So now, if I can't get that type of bag, to make it last longer, I cut off a small corner & vacuum seal the bag to store longer. Makes it possible to keep it fresher if I can't process or eat it all right away. It really helps! Good luck, God Bless & I hope you see this a whole year later! 🙏🙏😁

This looks really good and very pretty in the jars. I have a couple of questions though, except for the addition of the red pepper and the amount of sugar that was used, what makes this recipe so different from sauerkraut? Is it the addition of the mustard and celery seed that makes the difference or is it the amount of sugar that was used, and Is it very sweet? Personally, I think adding the carrot to my kraut recipe would not only be good but also very colorful in the jars. Thank you so much for sharing another way that we can preserve our cabbage harvest for stocking our pantry shelves.

Colleen I found your channel a couple of days ago and I’ve been binging on watching your recipes and I was very impressed with the electric canner so I ordered myself one off of Amazon now can you tell me can you only use wide mouth jars or can you use regular jars as well

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Hello Janet, you have had your canner for 8 months now and I was wondering if you like it? Thanks, Colleen

Just adding this for any one using more cabbage, i used about 32 cups of cabbage (I "thought" i was using 16 cups lol) so I made the brine as she stated and needed to make another batch! (Duh, i had twice as much cabbage) but I did get 7 full quarts out of it

[@oursilvermoments6028]

Thank you for adding this because we have all at some point we have all miscalculated ingredients from time to time.

So nice to see you, Colleen! Congrats on your retirement! This looks delicious. I do have one question. It wasn't clear to me if you stir the brine into the coleslaw before putting it into the jars, or if you pour the brine in afterwards. I think you add it before, but something you said made me wonder if you put it in afterwards. This would be a nice thing to have in the pantry!

I think you would put the brine in after filling the jars.

@@juliehale9491 If you look at the recipe below in the SHOW MORE drop down it will tell you there ladies! Colleen has written out the recipe for you, just copy and paste it to your computer!

She said to pour the bride on the mixture then when you fill the jars with the slaw, pressing it firmly, then put more bride to 1" headspace. Ooh, just realized I'm so far behind time! Going to make me some slaw!

I will definitely be trying this. You mentioned that everything was sticky but I did not notice you wiping off the rims of the jars.

[@oursilvermoments6028]

You caught me there Diane! Sometimes in the heat of the moment my brain takes a break. I was fortunate that every jar sealed. Thanks for watching! Colleen

Coleen…I am diabetic but I LOVE coleslaw…have you ever used any of the newer artificial sweeteners like Swerve or like that in it instead of sugar? I just cannot wait to try this. I made sauerkraut for the first time last summer and it turned out great and was so easy. I just found you last week and am truly loving your recipes. I am thinking of starting a “Coleen from Canada Cookbook”…so I can keep all of your recipes and tips in one place. I have two pressure canners and a big old water bath canner and probably 30 or more canning cookbooks plus several that are quite old that were put out by the USDA anywhere from the late 1800’s to the 1950’s. I used to help my sweet, very smart Mom can when I was little…my job was to wipe the rims and put the seals and rings on the jars. Once, probably 20 years ago, I went to a local estate sale and found a closet in the very old frame garage that was stacked to the rafters with full canning jars…most were dated at least 20 years before that and didn’t look very appetizing. I asked about the jars and was told that I could have as many as I wanted to “carry” (a favorite word here in east Texas meaning ‘to take somewhere’ ) so I loaded up my car, put a sign on the closed door that the contents were sold..…ran home and unloaded that batch, grabbed some boxes and rushed back. It took me 5 or 6 loads loads to get them all but get them all I did. Some were very old jars from the 1920’s, 30’s, 40’s and 50’s…many were wide mouth…my favorites…some were blue glass, some had embossed four leaf clovers on them and the words, “Good Luck” on them…some were just unusual Hazel Atlas jars or really old BALL jars. I love old jars and as long as they are perfect, no nicks or chips anywhere, I use them and so far, since 1972, so good. It took me the better part of 10 days to get them all emptied, scrubbed out then washed in my dishwasher….all for FREE! I felt like I had hit the Mother Load…and still do. If I am remembering correctly, that is where I picked up about 10 half-gallon small mouth BALL canning jars…I was SO excited. Can you tell that I don’t have anyone to talk “canning” with? I don’t. I don’t know anyone who cans, knits, or grinds hard white wheat to make flour to make homemabread or who has a sourdough starter that was given to her in 1972! I would sincerely love to learn to tat ……and quilt…someday soon. I have been making pot holders since I was 6… on the same loom. I used to sell them to our neighbors for a quarter…that sure would not even pay for the loops today. I have been talking electric pressure canner for the last two days since I saw you canning in the Nesco. I think the one I want is the 12 qt. Presto. Besides my old Mirro Aluminum 22 and 16 qt. Canners, I have an 6 qt. Instant Pot and an 8 qt. Ninja electric Pressure Cooker/Slow Cooker, and a 3 qt. Instant Pot….and an old 4 or 6 qt Presto pressure cooker and an even older pressure cooker that is called a Minit Minder pressure cooker from the forties….I am not sure if that is the correct name or not but I can’t get to it right now…it still works like a whiz and actually has a whistle gauge on it. I found an instruction booklet here in a box of recipes and old cookbooks that Mrs. Gwen Price left in the house for me when we bought the house when we bought it…in fact we moved in on December 16th, 1988…the house was built in 1912…and I love it. When I found that old inst. booklet, I just could not rest until I found one to buy…found one on eBay in perfect shape and it even had the original odd, not rubber gasket..it is a heavy kind of oil based paper gasket…and another inst. booklet just like the one Mrs. Price left me. I loved that sweet lady. She was the 2nd Mrs. Price…when she married J. M. Price, he was almost 70 and she was 39…he promised her 4 million dollars if she would marry him…she did around 1950 but she never got the money. She did get the house and furnishings, a brick Maid’s House, a brick garage, a small brick storage building, a brick well house…she used water from the well until 1986 then switched to Price Water and maybe 35 acres…maybe more…that was free of and debt. I just can’t wait till I can get my electric canner. It is just too much for me to try to lift my old canners and to try to do a huge load of produce to fill it. Do you ever can raw chicken in wide mouth pints? So easy. Maybe 42 or 43 years ago, my ex and I butchered some big old Cornish- Rock hens…I decided to kill a mean Americana rooster. We did…I canned the meat from him and marked the jars, ‘BARNEY”…gave some people a pure START when they saw the jars with a man’s name on them! Tasted fine with dumplings! Keep up the great videos and thanks for getting my canning interest up again!!

Hello Nancy, I use Splenda and have sweetened lots of pickles that way so I'm sure you could. Just adjust to taste. Best wishes, Colleen

Sugar substitutes are fine to use, but it will turn your product brown. Real sugar is part of the preserving process.
