Canning Pumpkin

[@debbievanfossen7762]

Just saw your second update with your arms free to breath once again. Sweet woman of the Most High God you are just an amazing woman with a strong drive to see her littles. Love and hugs!!!

[@jtamsmom5]

I'm inspired by you 2 years later.

[@dalewarren5794]

Yes I’m going to can pumpkin but I also cook, mash and then dehydrate pumpkin. When dry blend into a powder and can rehydrate and use as canned. I always put some pumpkin powder in homemade chicken noodle soup for added color, nutrition and a depth in taste.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

i have not dehydrated pumpkin yet. but now i want to! haha

[@siege919]

I call it Autumn soup whenI add pumpkin to a chicken stock based soup with whatever veg I'm harvesting or have on hand. :) I also put it in potato soup with some sage and jalapeno.

[@toneenorman2135]

How long does it take to complete drying? How thick do you spread it? Thank you.

[@stacyberry6097]

I have canned pumpkin 🎃 many times, but I love to watch your video, your happy rubs off while I'm canning. Thank you for being you!!🧡

[@jenniferbower2545]

Loving that these old videos are getting another round. I went to my shelf today for pumpkin and didn't have any. I was so sad. I'm watching sales for pumpkin. Hopefully I will can some for the first time thus month. Thanks Heather. ❤❤❤

[@kippaseo8027]

Hey I don't give a flying whoop About canning But I really love and appreciate your videos. You're gentleness and sometimes self deprecating Friendliness Is very comforting and comforting is appreciated during these crazy ass times. As cynical And sarcastic as I am About most everything I Always try to find the humor and irony in things which can be kinda Exhausting lol. I always look forward to seeing the notification Of really only a small few channels And yours is definitely one of them. Once the husband, The cats, In the rest of the house finally shut up I mean Quiet down for the night Part of my decompression time is watching Videos Like yours and others that will motivate me to do something with all the kitchen crap I've hoarded I mean Bought over the years. Watching your videos is like spending time with An old friend. Keep em Coming!😎🙏🇺🇸

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

awww Kip, this made my entire day! Thank you, my friend. Sometimes I laugh out loud and my husband wants to know what I am laughing at and it's one of your reviews! hahaha I find your sarcastic humor refreshing. The world is heavy right now....a cup of coffee, good humor and a kitchen product review is what I need in my life! hahaha

[@kippaseo8027]

@@TheKneadyHomesteader well always coffee that's a given! sometimes when I laugh out loud like that the husband gets really hesitant to start his car the next morning if you know what I mean. I think I'll do some'n like that to him tomorrow then make up for it by making your apple cinnamon rolls? I hear fall is coming but living here in Miami I have to take everyone's word for it. Hear the palm frams don't really change colors in the fall and if they do it's usually because of Vandals.

[@cindypye578]

I'm just now watching your video for the second time before I actually can some pumpkin for the first time. My sweet husband cut them into manageable pieces for me after cleaning the insides out, took the skin off, and then helped me cut them up into cubes! we're taking a break so I can rest some (I've not been well for a while and tire easily.) before canning. I told him about Mat, how he helped you, and how much I deeply appreciate Roy's help. Thank you so much for keeping these videos up and sharing your life with all of us. God bless you.

[@lesliekloer8544]

I peel, remove seeds, cut into chunks, bake until soft then mash and pack jars with the pumpkin before canning. Using water in the jars makes a very watery pumpkin.

[@amandaevensonthehappyhippi5110]

Sometimes I give my blanching water to my chicken's, they love it and I love that they get any nutrients that may be left in that water :). I keep you and your precious children in my prayers often..

I just finished baking two sugar babies, one cheese cake, and one Cinderella pumpkin to puree and freeze. I have six more sugar babies that I will be canning up too. Thanks for sharing the method you are using is the same as several other videos I watched...I like your reasoning for using fresh boiled water to pour over your cubed pumpkin to be canned.

[@MsMollah]

You seem like a great person and a wonderful, self sacrificing Mom. I wish you a miraculous recovery.

[@alliebennett555]

Well I wasn’t planning on canning pumpkin but after watching this video, I’ll be canning pumpkin this week.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

hahahaha i am a bad influence!

[@dez440]

Love watching you! I'm going to do pumpkin for the first time this year.

[@debk5325]

I picked up 4 pie pumpkins off of a produce stand today. $2 each. Last week I found a case of libbys at dollar general that hadn't been put out yet so I grabbed 2 cans, found out they were 1.89. I am surprised you didn't use salt or sugar. I am happy to have found what I found. Thanks so much for the tutorial. I love fall.

[@southernskytngarden]

I am planning on pressure canning my pumpkin from this season. We’ve always used an eaten our pumpkin, so we don’t buy a ton of them because we don’t want to waste. But now that I bought a pressure canner I’m so happy because we can save our freezer space and just put these up on the shelf. So glad I found your video when researching! I was familiar with your channelfrom other KZbinrs.

[@susanrobinson408]

I'm not canning pumpkin, but we had a huge butternut squash haul this year. We make our holiday pies from squash instead of pumpkin, so I will definitely use this recipe to can squash!! Thanks!!

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

that is awesome! I canned butternut squash already for the season, it's one of my favorite veggies!

[@carolynsinyard1306]

I will be going to wherever I need to go to buy some pumpkins for canning. This video is fantastic. This is my first year to can and I am loving it. My husband tells everyone that I can everything I can get my hands on. Thank you for sharing with us. Have a blessed week.

[@kathleendaugherty365]

I have canned pumpkin for several years. It's 2020 finally used the last of the 2016 batch. I don't use the blanching water either. I cooled it down and pour the water on my garden.

[@kefirheals7383]

[@tdewtx]

Buttered pumpkin with salt and pepper!! Usually, I just do regular pumpkins because it is all I can find. this year our store in my town had a large variety. This year I am canning 4 large pumpkins, 2 cinderellas, and 2 red warty goblins.

[@gracehillgranny5445]

My late husband and our daughter had a tradition from her early childhood of going to the pumpkin patch and from scratch homemade pumpkin pie, for fall and Thanksgiving. I started canning pumpkin about twelve years ago. It's fine for a quick pie, but their fresh pumpkin pies were always so much better. I canned about 7 quarts last year. I'll can more this year. Great for sausage soup also.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

such a sweet trado🥰

[@gingergargoyle]

I thought you would have used you're Tattler Lids - I'm going to save what few One Time Use look do for things leaving my kitchen and the used ones for my dehydrated goods. I'm so glad you connected me to the Tattler site - hubby bought me 500 for our up coming anniversary ... okay, I told him he didn't have a choice

Hi Heather, hope you are well and family too. I used to cook pumpkins when my boys would pick them out of the garden and they love pumpkin anything. But I didn’t can them, I would bake a lot Some things went in freezer forfall and winter or give the goodies to the neighbors. I wish I had someone to encourage or teach me putting up pumpkin.The jars look great.God bless you my always busy friend. 👍👍👍🎃🎃🎃🎃🎃🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🌹🌹🌹🍁🌻

Thanks so much! Hope you are able to enjoy some spring weather. Watching and praying.

[@mollysmith6055]

We have a frost forecast tonight so I rounded up all the pumpkins and squash that looked mostly ready and covered the rest and am crossing fingers. I ended up with 7 mini pumpkins...a bit smaller than Sugar Pies and bigger than Jack Be Littles. Those will make some nice pie but I have 7 ginormous Cushaw squash that still aren't ready and supposedly they make better pie than Sugar Pies. Yikes, I'll have to donate some of those to the food bank. Too much pumpkin! Thank you for showing us your canning process, Heather and count me in as one who would love to see you make something delicious with your home canned pumpkin.

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

i wish you could donate pumpkin to me! hahahaha whata bounty!!!!

I made a pumpkin pie with real pumpkin and didn't care for the texture, however I realize now that even if I don't use this for pie, there is a myriad of other recipes I could use it for where texture wouldn't be an issue. I'm going to be looking for pumpkins today!

(((((HUGS))))) I just wanted to let you know that right now I have 7 quarts of pumpkin in pressure canner #1. I still have 3 more pumpkins to can up. And in a 2nd pressure canner, I have 8 pints of taco meat. So I went shopping today and bought a 10# chub of 90/10 hamburger. Tacos for dinner and the rest to can up. There is some taco meat in the fridge for lunch and dinner for the next couple of days. GOD loves you and your family.

[@livinglife8333]

I don’t blanch mine for that long, I drop it in for just a few minutes then straight into my jars with a light syrup. I’ve used regular pumpkins for canning as well and it still turns out fantastic..

[@christiedecker2724]

I purchased some pumpkins and squash at a farmstand yesterday in anticipation of watching your video and doing just this, canning it. I'm so tired of getting pumpkins and squash and hoping they will last a few months into winter to use them a little at a time...Oh, and sweet potatoes...was gifted a bunch of them, and they will spoil before I could use them all, but we use them interchangeably with squash in a lot of dishes, so yes, planning to can as much as I am able.
