Squash. For all that asked could you do other vegetables. Here is Old Alabama Gardeners squash canning and cooking video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/aXmvpKOsrt6Hq5I

[@KKing55]

Thank You Wanda~! We Need this and More info to survive what's ahead~!

[@k8jones121]

Thank you! Thank you!

[@kcreyesmaquilan9741]

Wanda please keep posting these videos of old time canning methods my great grandma never had a pressure canner but she canned everything unfortunately I was to young to remover how it was exactly done.

[@tracymuckenfuss9697]

Oh I hope you read your messages today. Do you think this method would work on jalepenos? My freezer is full, and I have atleast 20 cups of jalepenos to do something with.😂

[@SatoshiZulu]

Ah ha.... I've been waiting for the old school canning videos. If the grid goes and the solar finally runs out.... we'll need those pioneering methods! Thanks Mrs Wanda 🤙

[@brendadowns2714]

Me too

[@patriciahammett4197]

I grew up on the "40's/'50's and we didn't even have a water bath canner, but we still canned. Wish now I had the way we did it written down. But as a child I just did what mom told me. Back then you followed your parents inductions, period. She did sour kraut in the butter churn, then put in jars. The only okra I remember canning was a soup mixture. We canned the tomatoes sepreate. We opened a quart of the mixture to a half gallon if tomatoes and that with cornbread was a meal. The powers that be today would probably have you in jail if you did everything like in yesteryear. LOL.

[@SatoshiZulu]

@@patriciahammett4197 Absolutely. All the way up until I was like 14 or 15 my Mother and Granny still had garden's in their backyard...in the city lol. It may come back down to that if you want to survive. Best to be figuring it all back out now....if the grid ever goes it's going to be tough times until we get the rhythm! Thanks for sharing...stay safe!

[@patriciahammett4197]

@@SatoshiZulu I think you being exposed to the home canning gives you a head start, you know the benefits and also saw the energy that was put into doing it the old way. You will succeed, blessings.

[@jtharp9265]

Amen - also like jerky - back in the 1880's they ate jerky ...there has to be ways we can do all this without Electric , gas etc .... God bless everyone . Mrs Josette Tharp Montgomery County , Texas

[@donnadickerson2108]

I tried this okra canning recipe and cannot get enough of it fried. I have watched so many of the precious Old Alabama Gardner and miss him. Your okra looks so good. He would be proud to know you have shared his recipe. I know what we are having for lunch tomorrow!!!

[@patriciasimmon6854]

Thanks Ms Wanda for sharing! Thanks to Mr Charle’s family for leaving his videos for us to enjoy and benefit from. 💕

[@donnastormer9652]

Another thing I wanted to mention Wanda was if you raise the temperature of your oven to 212 and leave your jars in there for 20 minutes before you process it actually sanitizes them perfectly. I learned that from Rose Red Homestead and I have done that with all my canning now.

[@tennesseegrands6620]

I dearly miss Mr. OAG. He was a man with so much knowledge that he passed along to everyone. 💞

[@jeffbee6090]

I love that old fashioned canning still works... people are way too cautious now days- "we" survived a long time learning from "granny" instead of "officials"...

[@squirrelcovers6340]

Alot of people DIED before science learned about botulism. When you learn better, DO BETTER.

[@HOMESTEAD_AUS]

Agreed Jeff👍

[@articuno75]

I still watch his videos. So much wealth of knowledge! RIP Ole Alabama Gardner!

[@loriea1785]

I sure miss Mr. Charles . Such a gentleman, so kind and smart .

[@MimsysGarden]

This is a great tribute to Mr C. I sure miss him! He was a great mentor to me as well. 💚

[@littleflockontheprairie4871]

I love that you showed the age of the previously canned okra. So many people are anxious about eating home-canned goods beyond a year old. We ate pasta sauce from 2015 not too long ago. Still delicious with home-grown spaghetti squash from the 2021 harvest. I am glad more and more people are looking to the traditional ways to preserve and feed their families. Thank you, Danny and Wanda for everything you do and teach!

[@gainingmomentum5392]

I love this. It's not that it's the old way, but it makes it so easy to can a little bit along the way. I don't have a large number of plants, but I an cutting half a plastic grocery bag every other day. Being able to can a few along and still eat fresh without breaking out the canner is a God send.

[@gailwatkins8843]

I miss OAG. Mr. Charles was such a fantastic gentleman. "MMM, I wish I could share this with you" I'm so glad we have some memories to share of him through his videos. I must apologize, but I've never learned to get behind okra. It's a texture thing for me and a bit of a taste issue. I keep trying, but so far it's a no-go. I've had it stewed, steamed, fried, baked, you name it - I've had it that way and by many different cooks. Just looks like that's the only veg I'm going to have to say pass on. 😒 I know there are TONS of people who just love it and I'm not saying anything against it, so please don't hate on me. As far as I know, that's the only veg I just can't seem to eat. If Mr. Charles says that's the way to do it that's gospel to me. Thanks for sharing Ms. Wanda. Blessings always, g.e, not so much (edit: I've been using the 4Lids since you first mentioned them, maybe middle to end of last year and no failures yet. I've got a case of them and I feel very safe using them)

[@patriciahammett4197]

I'm in the south east and my best friend grew up in Washington state. She said she never heard of okra until her husband brought her south to live. But when her MIL taught her how to fry okra she was hooked. I'm like you as far as fried squash is concerned. But I love it stuffed. I can eat it fryed if you put sliced onion rings in and bread it together.

[@kateholland4102]

My husband will only eat them fried hard... otherwise he says it's slimy 😂

[@Jomama02]

I'm with you Gail. It's one veggie I just have to pass on and I've had it many ways from different cooks also! I've even gotten frozen soup veggies before and picked out all the okra! Lol.

[@HOMESTEAD_AUS]

Yeh we miss Mr Charles too👍

[@Hargsehm]

Wanda more than canning you have taught us kindness sharing & how to encourage others.

[@featheredfriendshomestead]

Thank you Ms Wanda for this video brought a tear to my eye thinking about old Alabama gardener and the smile on his face every time he tasted the wonderful food he cooked. I miss that that smile. I learned so much from him he is truly missed RIP OAG

[@lvs6775]

Yes! These are the kinds of videos we need! Thanks so much!

[@MynewTennesseeHome]

I'll have to try that. I do green tomatoes that way for frying over winter and, yeah they batter up better than fresh.

[@gerrymarmee3054]

So great to mention Old Alabama Gardener.

[@southernroots2229]

Thank you. I love growing okra every year and I freeze it, i ferment it, i pickle it, i give it away. This looks like one of the best ways to preserve it that I’ve seen. This is Linda from Houston Texas.

[@LivingMiracleHomestead]

I have always loved this recipe. He was a great guy. I was so saddened when he passed.

[@apiecemaker1163]

So glad you included the frying it up video. I planted Star of David okra for the first time this year. We’ve always planted Clemson spineless. I’m in AL so my okra isn’t ready yet but looking forward to trying this kind. Great video! Absolutely love the old ways! God bless you both.

[@wandamckinney5883]

I love watching you can I learn so much God Bless You! I pray that God gives you a massive amount of strength you and your husband.

[@ktexas001]

Never knew this so happy to find out!! Thank you Wanda

[@HOMESTEAD_AUS]

Yes we appreciated the family leaving Mr Charles’s videos up..I still go on them now Wanda❤️Love the old granny ways..I do a bit of so called rebel canning but still here after 35 years doing it😂👍

[@AbigailJohnson-cy8ik]

This is called open kettle canning. A wonderful method. Thank you so much, I have too much okra. Not a problem though! Love you guys.

[@brendahallmcdonald1292]

I had forgotten about this method. It works great and is delicious. I just used your/OAG's recipe. Thank you again for this great video.

[@phyllisatkinson1331]

Thank you so much for this tried and true recipe. I have never liked the water bathed kind. Thank you! Sharing is caring❤️

[@monkeymommy778]

Thanks for the tip Ms Wanda. We've got a bit of okra growing, but the leaves got pretty angry after getting 5+ inches of rain in the past few days.

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

We ve had a time here too, in MS

[@FarawayPrepper]

Thanks for sharing this important skill in prepping.

[@lindabranch8294]

Thank you I am going to try this. I am learning so much. Never knew it would last so long on the shelf

[@MrsLovelyPendragon]

I loved watching OAB's videos! Bless you for continuing to remember him 🙏❤️

[@lgrichard32]

Thank you for this Wanda! I just heard y'all talk about it on the live from the other night and we've got okra coming in now. Have never put anything up by preserving. Only freezing. This info is just right on time! Blessing to you and Mr. Danny!! (Up in NE Mississippi😊)

[@sallyeblen7032]

I miss Alabama Gardner . Thank you for sharing this . I did it and I think it worked great , I got 3 1/4 pints so I just took the forth and and cooked it next day. Yum

[@RosieDay61]

Old Alabama Gardener also has a similar video on canning squash for frying. People need to learn how to make leather britches which are dried green beans, a lot of videos on how to. All methods we may have to use in the future if we don't have dehydrators and pressure canners.

[@natalieh8637]

Yea!!! I love this as my children love fried okra. I have frozen it, but I don't like only relying on frozen food in case of power outage or freezer failure. Thanks so much!!!

[@melisahorton2314]

I miss OAG. He was a wonderful man with a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for sharing.

[@LittlePieceOfHeaven.65]

LOVE IT ! My Grandma did all her canning that way . The only thing she did different,no idea why, she turned the jar upside down and let it cool.

[@taradoster3087]

I have a 100 foot row. Love pickled okra. Thanks y'all

[@sandrajohnson9926]

My mom used to pickle okra & cauliflower, with dill. Just loved it to pieces.

[@benitaedge201]

I didn't come across his channel until after his passing. Today will be my first okay but in June, I canned squash by his recipe. It was great!

[@kathleenmaddox2346]

Thank you Wanda!

[@Bapatriot]

We did the canned okra last year. Just now remembered to get some out of the pantry. Opened it up...drained it off and tossed it in corn meal with salt and pepper... All I can say is that is as close as you can get to fresh okra. My wife said we will NOT be putting any in the freezer this year, whatever we put up WILL be canned just like this!! Thank you for sharing this!! 👍👍🙏

[@jessicabetkey3297]

Thanks Mrs. Wanda for sharing we also love Alabama Gardner.

That is the way my grandma did hers she was born in 2898 and she did it like her mama thank you so much for doing this video

[@harborgurl]

beautiful job, as always, Ms. Wanda! heavenly hugs to OAG!

[@Linda-kq8ef]

I am so excited to get this recipe, thank you Wanda so much, and the man that shared it with you. I usually freeze mine. With the way things are going, and especially the hurricane season seems to be getting worse. I would rather cann mine. Blessings to You Sweet Lady !!! ✝️💟

[@annettenewton6240]

You said 10 and half quarts of water, that’s 10 and half cups of water. I love this way of doing okra. I learned from Mr. Charles as well. I would rather eat fried okra after doing this instead of fresh fried.

[@robint3547]

OMG thank you. I'm planning on canning Okra this year and this recipe is right on time. Thank you thank you thank you.

I am so happy I found your channel. I just moved to Carriere Mississippi from Northeast Indiana a month ago. I am so unsure of myself when it comes to gardening and canning. I look forward to learning more from you.

[@dianatennant4346]

I didn't discover Old Alabama Gardner until the just before the end of his time I really enjoyed what I saw of a personal him. Hope he's looking down on us now and discovering how much he taught even after he passed from this Earth to God's

[@robburns9925]

Ive done soup beans and soup like this but put jars and lids in oven at 300. Boil beans or whatever and soon as you bnb pull a jar out, put the hot mix inside and put bnb lid on. They seal up real good. Peace.

[@ktexas001]

Rob, can you give your recipe for beans and soup please?

[@Coastal.Redwood.Homestead]

That’s how I heat up my jars and I copied the recipe and trying this for the first time and can’t wait to try it

[@UrbanWhiteBuffaloFarm]

Hey Ms Wanda, Thank you I been lookin for somethin like this most of the canning recipes turn them into pickled taste. I have so many OAG videos on playlist I am also thankful and beholden to his family for keepin these up for us to see use watch and learn from. I will be using this come the fall. I want to see your video on how to fry them. I can fry the livin daylights outta any fresh okra, green tomatoes you can give me. This one I'm guessin might be a tad different. Y'all take care God bless bye for now

[@FlomatonFamous]

Thank you for posting

[@ladyemerygizer]

My grandmother and mother canned most things outside in metal tubs with a piece of tin over top, over a fire. 21 qts at a time. From 2 to 3 hours depending on what it was. They never used a pressure canner. Always White House apple cider vinegar and non iodized salt. They canned inside as well for small batches. I still use moms blue speckled water bath canner. It's at least 40 years old. I wish I'd payed more attention on many things, when they were still on this earth.

[@sister_num7516]

I loved Old Alabama Gardner! Watching this I had red flags, the process is not NHCFHP recommended, but they haven'ttested many things. Okra isn't found in Maine often. I won some seeds from Roco Farm. So I put in big pots on my small greenhouse. My mom was from TX, & would be proud. I may give a try - widening my boundaries. Looking to frying & tossing in pepper jelly - sounds amazing.

[@davidvinson4681]

My stepmother is only woman I knew that could can okra and it be good when you fried it. I so wanted to get the way she did it but she passed away, thanks for sharing this video I will certainly try it.

Hi Wanda! I’m in Texas and I planted the Star of David okra after watching y’all video. It’s really hot here and they have just taken off! Been picking them since June. I gotta say your okra looks more solid inside than mine does- seems more open spokes. I only have 8 plants in an Earth box, and they are about 7 feet tall and I have 7 quart bags in the freezer already. I’m gonna pull them out and start canning them! Thanks so much! Love you guys!! ❤️

[@Ann_Palmer]

Love this !

[@grannylynn3113]

I'm thinking now that I should put in a couple more rows of okra! It's my favorite veggie and I could eat it as a meal! I would love to try the Star of David variety, too. I have only had Clemson Spineless. Thank you, Wanda! I have been a fan for quite a while now and at 65 (in August) I'm still learning so much from you and Danny! Y'all are great teachers.
