Canuary - Canning Butternut Squash

[@Jenniferscrazylife]

I’m wishing there was a cookbook full of all these great canning recipes … thanks Lisa for this collaboration

[@retiredfoolsonahomestead3654]

Praying for Rachel and Todd ♥️ I canned butternut squash for the first time a couple of years ago for baby food for my grandbaby No sugar , salt or additives 🎉 she ate it up!! I also did carrots and other veggies and fruits!! Wish I would have thought outside the box when my kids were in the baby food stage 💗

[@midwestern925]

I didn't have pumpkin fir a pie, but I had butternut! I used my butternut squash for the pie! 😋 yummy Edit: I don't have any jars left empty, so I'm dehydrating carrots, potatoes, onion, and I made egg noodles and dehydrating since egg prices continue to skyrocket. I'll still have homemade egg noodles already made! 😁

[@peggydietz4734]

I saw someone used some butternut squash for a pie. That's a great idea if you don't have any pumpkin.

[@utopicconfections5257]

I also made/dehydrated egg noodles. They worked great and I plan on doing it again this spring.

[@sandycrum2020]

One year having planted plenty of carrots, but no pumpkin due to garden space, for Thanksgiving I used carrots in lieu of pumpkin for our pie 🥧 my six children still gobbled it up, as did the neighbors I shared with😋 I am now eager to try butternut squash pie😁👍

This is truly a labor of love peeling these squash..But I love them and having them on my shelf is a wonderful thing.

[@Littlehouseblues]

The squash looks so pretty in jars and it seems like with chicken broth it would be almost an instant soup. An immersion blender and some heavy cream and spices and it’s ready to enjoy! I think I know what I’m canning next. I’m really enjoying Canuary! Thanks for hosting and sharing.

[@angelamorrison2589]

Not a huge squash fan but you have intrigued me. Without you, I would not be canning right now. You have inspired me to ensure that I have food security in my retirement. Thank you!

[@avelsgard78]

How did you know I have about 200 squash in my basement? Thank you for this and for all the great "canuary" offerings 😘

[@janew5351]

How many p,ants did you plant?

[@jimmyjames372]

I don't have that many squash but such a timely video. Yes!!!!!

[@avelsgard78]

@@janew5351 We planted around 5 large hills with 5 plants per hill. We had a stand of volunteers as well....maybe 10 to 15 more plants in that stand. The approximate 200 is what is left after using a bunch and giving large amounts to family. We ended the harvest with 323 delicata squash. They are small-ish but oh so sweet....and they were crazy productive.

[@renalarue6988]

Prayers for Rachel and Todd. Thank you for putting this collaboration together. And thank you to ForJars for sponsoring. 🌻

[@robingirven4570]

An ice cream scoop works great! The kind without the “spring handle”. I cut both ends off, peel while it’s whole, cut in half lengthwise then take the dang seeds out.

[@auroranight3779]

I ran out of butternut squash at Thanksgiving! There's been NONE, fresh, frozen, soups, canned in any of the stores, either! I'll be saving this for harvest, this year! THANK YOU

[@HwrightKctcs]

I am loving this series. All the different channels educating everyone. Because of Ms. Leisa and others that I have been following for about two years I have bought a water bath canner then a steam canner which I absolutely love and bought a pressure canner. Hoping this year to actually use it. Thank you to everyone who is participating in this series.

[@janeneharker339]

Years ago my favorite winter squash was acorn. And THEN I tasted butternut. It’s been my favorite since then. When I had a garden, 3 seeds planted on a mound gave me an abundance of harvest (miss those days). Last winter I canned butternut with a few cranberries added. It was a nice addition. Thanks for the collaboration. EPIC!

[@diann546]

If you like butternut, try buttercup.

[@StelleyAnn]

Hope all is well with Rachel and Todd! Thank you Leisa for organizing such a great Canuary collaboration!

[@maryjaneplaza4971]

I love butternut squash! I’m definitely going to make this!

[@sharim6802]

I hope all is well for Rachel and Todd. Thank you for jumping in and keeping the energy going.

[@tammimerritt9011]

Prayers for Rachel and Todd. Thank you again for organizing this collaboration. I canned butternut squash for the first time this fall after watching a previous video you posted and even added some cranberries to a few jars per your suggestion. This is my first year to catch Canuary from the beginning. I'm enjoying it so much

[@shannondornak]

I need to do more butternut squash

[@shirleyjensen417]

Hi Leisa! I canned squash for the first-time last season and will never be without it. Thank you for putting the Canuary collaboration together it's my favorite! Thank you to For Jars for sponsoring as well as all the channels participating. Sending love and prayers for Rachel and Todd.

Thank you Leisa for coming up with canuary. I am a new canner and love the great ideas being presented by everyone. Thank you all for sharing your time and recipes with us.

[@kathyturnbull5764]

I love butternut squash and plan to plant them this season. Thank you for the recipe. And thank you Fourjars for sponsoring Canuary and being so ethical and generous to us canners.

Loving the videos 💞 I have been canning everyday, minus 2 sick days. Thank you Forjars for sponsoring The Great Canuary. Prayers out to Rachael and Todd.

[@bevzemaitis134]

Hubbards, butternut, butter cup squash are my all-time favorite! I remember we always had to store these in the fruit seller and the mice would sometimes get to them before we would! thank you for this video, learning so much from these! and thank you Leisa and forjars for this month collaboration!

[@chelleelmer9854]

I can't even tell you how happy Canuary makes me. THANK YOU for putting together the collab...and for this inspirational use for all the winter squash that I still have sitting in my garage.

[@karmasteelsmith33]

my 9 year old loves squash. When he was like 2 years old when I would be peeling and cutting up to freeze he loved eating it raw. It freaked my mom out and my dad told her that he would be healthier for eating that way. He still loves it! Thanks again!

[@HereAtTheHappyHouse]

Thank you Leisa for all you do for this crazy canning community! You're the best! I have 4 butternuts left from this summer...you've inspired me to go ahead and "jar 'em up"! Ha!

[@Serenity_Craft]

Last January I found these videos and was so disappointed that I didn't have pressure canning supplies, I spent the year gathering a pressure canner and many more jars. I even got some of the forjars lids. This year I was struck with the inspiration again when I seen the Canuary videos and have enjoyed doing some of my own preserving. Thank you to everyone who puts these videos out, you are all inspirational.

[@Susan-ButlerFamilyFarm]

That's where I am this year!

[@sharibuhler3041]

Brilliant use of a used canning lid to scrape out the seeds. Again it is these little tips that help us in a pinch. I LOVE butternut squash (yep more than pumpkin). This being my first Canuary and learning all these new recipes (I am a visual learner so having video is a HUMONGOUS help. Thank you Lisa for putting all these recipes and this entire event! God bless.

[@monahardy978]

I didn't plant winter squash because it doesn't keep well downstairs so I'm glad to have this . Love this canuary so glad I found it. Thank you! I found it on 1870 homestead!! Thanks Rachel!

[@kmegan2083]

Canning it in chicken broth!!! How smart! The smallest of things you never think of and feel like a goober when you hear someone say it. Thank you for your time making the video!

Thanks for stepping in for Rachel and Todd. Prayers for their family. Thanks for this video, nice to keep learning.

[@tracymcgee8141]

YUM! So much easier than I thought it was going to be. We use an avocado scoop/pitter to get the guts out, works well. Loving Canuary! It’s my first one. Thank you Leisa for coordinating all of this! And thank you For Jars for sponsoring. ❤❤❤

[@kathyfletcher4694]

We grew butternut squash and pumpkins this year as our dog has to have some in his food each day (what I do for the 4 legged kid🙄). We ended up freezing it in a puree as it was easier for me than peeling it. I also volunteered to haul away all the pumpkin decorations in my daughter's development so I won't have to grow squash this year lol. The chickens were happy with the rest of the pumpkin remains. Thanks again Leisa for pulling all this together for us and to forjars for joining in. I love the forjars lids!

[@nicoleherrera2603]

I appreciate all of your videos! I've just recently started canning and your videos are so helpful and detailed! Thank you for helping me start a family tradition I hope to pass on for generations!

Prayers for Rachel and Todd. Thank you for the entire Canuary. I have been excited for months waiting for collab! I have canned since I was twenty and was taught “open face” canning. Boy have I learned a lot over the years!!! Now at 43 yo I can confidently pressure cook and have put away a decent amount of variety of food. I just got an Amish water bath canner to add to my tool box! Love these and thanks for bringing together such a wonderful community! ❤

[@unleashedpatriot1802]

I didn’t have a very good harvest with my butternut squash this last season, but I did get some acorn squash canned. THIS YEAR.....I’m projecting a BUMPER CROP! I will definitely be canning some butternut. I need to build more shelves. I’m trying to be using all my canned stuff frugally, worried that this country is SO messed up, we could definitely run out of food in the stores. Thank you Leisa, I am LOVING CANUARY and have some FORJAR lids on there way!♥️🇺🇸

[@terigarman8508]

I really appreciate your kindness for helping us about canning stuff.

[@karh1227]

I have not canned butternut squash, but I have frozen it and I have found that heating a roaster pan of water and laying the squash in the boiling water for about 2 or 3 minutes until the skin turns a grayish color, then turn the squash over and repeat. Take the squash out of the water with "carving" size forks and let it cool a few minutes till handleable. Using a potato peeler, peeling the squash will be SO much easier, especially for people with hand problems. I have used this method for many years successfully. A knife will work also if that's what you normally use

[@tst1200]

Thank you Sutton's Daze for giving those of us who can't afford it a chance to win a Presto I canner and Thanks to 4Jars for giving away an All American canner. Hoping I will win and be able to start pressure canning as well as the water-bath canning I do now

[@ashleyantunez1353]

Glad to know I can preserve the abundance of marked down pumpkins after they are marked down in the fall. I enjoy eating pumpkin/squash recipes year round.

[@BigValleyLiving]

We canned some butternut squash last fall, and have recently found an old recipe for using them in place of pumpkin for cookies and pie. The cookies we made were an AMAZING way to use canned butternut. Great video, as always! We are having a blast watching all of these Canuary 2023 videos!

This years Canuary has been just an extraordinary learning journey.
