Canning Greens / Pantry Preparedness

[@iartistdotme]

When I was little, we lived in Wisconsin but my grandparents lived in South Carolina. Every summer we would drive down to spend a month with them. We passed through the Smokies and my absolute favorite thing (and still is) was to look out the window and see the little cabins up on a ridge with their gardens tucked so nicely next to the home, clothes hung out to dry, flowers scrambling up a fence, and wood stacked up for fires. I would dream that one day I would be rich enough to live like that. Little did I know! Wait - I think I did know. The truth is how you live makes you rich or poor - not how much money you make. So now I see your cabin, garden, hear the sweet music from Danny, and listen to the birds while you can your food. How much richer is even possible? Thank you for doing your videos. They help me remember how to live right!

Thank you Mary, I feel very Blessed, xoxoxo

Your comment is as beautiful a thing as this old gardener has ever read

I just love your old homestead way, talents, expertise, insights, character, ect! ( All gifts from God) May He continue to richly bless you my sister in Christ!

[@rebeccaknudsen6190]

I believe it would still contain all the minerals even if pressure canned. Also you picked and canned at peak of freshness. People's health is in peril more for lack of minerals than vitamins. Greens are loaded with minerals. You are such a good example, thanks for sharing.

[@renacraft7001]

The greens settled down in the jars after being canned! Beautiful! Oh how I envy you and your way of living...

[@sheilahtaylor3005]

You DO loose some vit and minerals. But plenty left,Excellent source

[@mccardieclan1755]

I hear what you are saying but I would like those pressure canned greens tested so we knew the nutrition value instead of just following u/s/d/a recommendations. I am going to raw pack and water bath a few to see if it's better or worse. Cause I'm sure folks hav been preserving food way before the pressure canner was invented, right? Thanks for the video and all the tips for prepping for the winter.

[@marthameadows9013]

Makes me think of my mother and I canning. Seemed like everything came in at once. At the time I didn't enjoy it but would love to relive those days now. I'm such an idiot for selling my mother's canner after she died. You did a great job explaining everything. I remember my mother rubbing the rims of the jars to make sure there weren't any nicks. Blessings to you and Mr. Brown.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you Martha, xoxoxo

[@fernandapartridge5174]

From the UK, canning greens isn’t really a ‘thing’ over here sadly.... its really nice reading the comments and seeing how big this tradition is! I’ve just started a little vegetable garden and this video is giving me lots of ideas... we were only saying earlier, we will have too many, this is awesome. Thank you! 😁🙏❤️ xoxoxo

[@RobinMarconeCassidyRN]

Love watching your canning videos! My great grandmother which I mentioned in another comment had a root cellar and I loved being in there especially during the summer months but overall, I loved just looking at all the foods she canned throughout the years. She use to have this huge barrel that had garlic pickles inside, but oh boy , what a process that was😱 just checking to see if they were ready to eat. lol! . She had this heavy marble disc that kept the pickles submerged under the water and a heavy rock on top of the disc. These were the best pickles I ever had to date . I know this has nothing g to do with your wonderful video...I suppose your home reminds me of some wonderful times. Thank you Lori for sharing the best videos on youtube..at least to me. Your beautiful garden and of course the warmth of your kitchen... always so inviting. A nice reminder of my nonna Louisa's. home. Hope you and all your sub's have a wonderful and peaceful weekend.💝 Warm hugs your way to you and Mr Brown xx 🌼

[@celticfiddle7605]

Miss Lori does have a warm and inviting kitchen doesn't she? I have always wanted to tell her.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Last year I accidentally grew kale. It was mixed in with kohlrabi. What a gift!! I took my kale stems, dehydrate them, put them in my vitamix and had kale powder to add to recipes! Waste not, want not. Seriously, after I started doing this, I found out they sell this powdered kale...so thankful for this God sent wisdom. Kimmie Mama to 8 One homemade and 7 adopted

Every time when several days have passed with no video from y'all I worry that one of y'all has gotten sick. So I am very glad when y'all post a videl!

[@Cookie-gn4qk]

Gosh, I really admire your talent of canning. I never learned(even tho my mother did I), and living alone, I don’t need all that canning done. But, I am really jealous of your laundry line outside! I love hanging my clothes outside in the sun, especially white shirts. I live in the city, in a townhouse and I have a little enclosed yard. I bought a little portable laundry line to hook on my fence for a few items. But, I would have a whole line if I could. You are hard working people, and I love watching you both! Bet you sleep good at night!

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Thank you Kathleen, xoxoxo

[@tennesseegirl1215]

I put my blanched water in my jars to save all the nutrients. Our garden is just moving turtle speed, can't wait to get fresh vegetables to eat. Thanks for the video, Ms Lori and you are almost to 100,000 subs, love and blessings sweet lady

[@leeworrell3761]

Thank you so much for your videos. I've canned for many years and I've never canned greens. Usually they just go to seed and we lose them. I ran across this video the other day and I canned my kale and my collard greens. It was so easy and so convenient. Thanks to you, I've canned dry bean, potatoes, and other things I didn't know about. I really appreciate it.

[@vickithilges3497]

I’ve Canned for 40 plus years, but watching your videos I’ve still learned things from you. My husband and I grew a acre garden and sold at the Farmers Market. I still Can some things.

[@pattyprice2644]

Miss Lori I remembered a few things watching you today I'm so very blessed to have found your channel I just want to thank you again for all you do cooking wise I had my son build me some raised beds and started planting I can't remember what I can really plant now but it's trail n error Ty and god bless

You can plant alot! Any warm weather crop I'm so glad you got your raised beds, xoxoxo

[@villagesteader3552]

God willing, I will have enough greens to preserve some. Our gardening season just started and I have turnip greens, collards, kale, Swiss chard, and spinach. I will be using my new pressure canner for the first time soon! God Bless you! ♥️🙏👍🐝

I love watching you can. Your garden vegetables have such a beautiful dark green color that shows how healthy they are. I've only canned a few things in my life & it seemed so tedious that I never enjoyed it. You make everything look so easy. Cooking out on the porch allows you to listen to those birds in the yard. What a treat to be outside! Hugs to you & Mr. Brown.

[@James-h3r8l]

Hi Miss Lori and Mr Brown....I just loved the opening to your video. All the beautiful vegetables that you have growing on your homestead along with the flowers. So beautiful!

Hi Miss Lori. It's been a while since I have visited your channel. My canned sourkrouat is a year old now. I did your grandma's recipe. Haven't tried it yet. I have 15 pints of mixed kale and beet greens in the pressure cooker now. First time ever for me to can the greens. Followed your instructions. I put 2 tsp of applecidar vinager in each jar. There is German blood in me from my great grandparents.😀 May God continue to bless you and Mr Brown with good health!✝️❤️🇺🇸

[@VagabondAnne]

Glad to see this. I have never canned greens, but then, I live in California, so greens are easy to get fresh. On the Simple Living Alaska YT channel they canned up a ton of greens and ate them throughout the winter, and it seems like it was a welcome treat, not soggy at all as I had imagined. If I ever grow more than my chickens, my freezer, and I can handle, I will try canning them. Thank you!

[@OhItsJustMe2]

I always fill my pantry from my garden first then start freezing.... Food in the freezers get eaten first.

[@WhippoorwillHoller]

Good idea! Xoxoxo

I cook large amounts of greens and they freeze well so I find thst easier for me. Your gardens are great. Thanks for sharing.

I just have to tell you what an inspiration you are to me. I’ve always wanted to live in a peaceful area like yours. I live in a remote little town called Lytle Creek in California. I don’t have much land yet it’s peaceful. I just retired and now have time to garden. And, you give me incentive to plant, preserve and prepare. Thank you.

[@katgirlsue]

I bought canned mustard greens at the beginning of the shut-in thinking fresh greens might be hard to come by but thinking that they might not be very good. I wAs completely amazed at how delicious they were. These were unseasoned ones so all I did was put a little chicken bullion in them & a little bacon grease, garlic powder, black pepper, etc in them & they were fantastic. I’ve been looking for more but can only find the pre-seasoned ones. When I do find them, I will buy lots of them for my pantry as we don’t have a garden to put up our own! Love you Miss Lori, keep ‘em coming, ❤️✝️❤️

[@MsLippy]

Yes, maybe I can get the right amount of greens to a jar also, lol... sometimes its perfect and sometimes we have green soup; but both ways is delicious... thrm greens sure was pretty you canned. Blessings to Yall

Lori if you put 1/4 jar of liquid in with your salt, and then add your greens you only have to add a little bit of water to top them off with minimal debubbling.

My heritage German Russian and they always had summer kitchens. They bake their bread and made soups they did canning. And the house always stayed so cool. If you need to take a little corner of the garage make your summer kitchen. It would definitely help your AC units.

My grandmother would keep plastic half gallon ice cream buckets, only one came in plastic, all others were cardboard, and she would freeze them full of water for when she would be blanching her veggies. Thanks. EDIT: She always told me to use vinegar to wipe the jars off, no matter what was in them. Any vinegar left over was tossed into the canner to help keep the jars and canner clean.

[@rebeccajones9735]

I cook all my greens to the point if being ready to eat (with salt and seasoning meat/fat) then I freeze them. My deep freezer is a very small one, but when I want greens I only have to thaw and heat. We have a whole house generator if the power goes out.

[@cajunlane3191]

Brings back old days. When you can again on porch, open oven door for a place to put hot canner lid. I used to can pickled beets the best. Blessings on you guys.

[@dannybrown5217]

It is not that you can't grow some greens in the summer when it gets to staying hot they will get a bitter taste and won't do good in the heat these greens we had were planted last October we had some greens all winter but when it started to get hot they decided to start putting on seed they were done so we harvested them a lot of greens are cool to moderate weather plants

I so enjoyed this video. I grew up on a farm in S.E. Tennessee and like all country folk, mamma canned everything. A family of five children, our gardens were so large; we could have fed the other families that lived on our road. Momma did can greens, but I don't remember that as well as the other things, so thank you so much for this video. I have just discovered Whippoorwill Holler, its like being back home again. I'm in Costal Virginia now, but I Have a pantry that my friends and acquaintances just don't understand, but we know. Not only is it preparedness for the winter months, it is for whatever comes down the pike! During the great covid hoax of 2020 I was able to stay home and have what ever I wanted to eat. Baked my own bread, canned goods, frozen goods. My dog, Queen and I ate very well. Thank you so much for this video, and all the others you have here on your channel. I will be a loyal follower. ]

I do my kale canning a bit differently. I put my cut kale leaves in the jar and I put some lemon herb seasoning inside in place of salt. It makes the taste brighter ✨️ 😋 then I put the liquid in, clean the rims, place the lids and rings on. Of course, like I did with your ranch style beans, I HAD to taste one of those jars afterwards. It was amazing !!! 💗

I have a two-burner camp stove I use for canning on my carport/patio. Summer, it's a patio, winter it's a carport. lol Do you take your rings off after they cool?

[@darlenesmith1605]

I put vinegar in my greens when I eat them. So I canned them by watering bathing them. I put I teaspoon of vinegar in the jars and water bathed. They say u can't water bath, but u can water bath anything. Just takes much longer, unless it has some acid in it, therefore the vinegar.

[@Forevertrue]

Thanks Miss Lori. I needed that.

[@primrozie]

I never thought to can greens. I make the eggs and greens quite often, even buying spinach from the store to do it. I saute onion and sometimes mushrooms and add the greens. I'll plan for next year. Great idea to have an outdoor kitchen! It looks really cute too.

[@marthahoward7734]

Hey Ms. Lori, you did a beautiful job on those greens. I'm in a different gardening zone and my spinach, kale, chard, etc are just coming up.
