[@helenmak5663]

Love to learn canning. We also don’t celebrate Halloween, my kids understand the reason and they don’t mind.

[@peacefulmountainliving4978]

Love to see more people canning. Ive been canning for 20 yrs and love having meals on my shelf during the winter from veggies i produced from our garden. Great job!!

[@narnialious]

Another great KZbin channel is simply living Alaska. They do tonnes of canning. And PLEASE next year share about your garden!!

[@RowesRising]

This was fun to watch! I’ve been having fun with my pressure canner too! Making lots of meat broths to stretch what’s in our feeezer🌻

[@rosepapa3266]

You should also add bay leaves to your canned meats, it gives it a good flavor to the finished product. 🙏🎃❤❤❤❤❤

[@eugeneschliepp8337]

When I was growing up as a child, my mom & aunts always canned. They'd can corn, beets, green beans, different varieties of pickles.. Canned goods in jars were always the best tasting.

[@Sonialei77]

This gets me so excited because I'm pretty new to canning and know that feeling of accomplishment when you see your first batch of sealed jars lol

[@laurab1089]

The stew looked beautiful and so tasty! Just a hint.. The fill mark is right at the bottom ring of the jar.. and for left over veggies you can throw then in a jar and can those. When I got comfortable with canning I would do double loads if I was doing pints.. Then I branched out to different soups and veggies. The Amish Canning book has great soup recipes. You may be able to order jars online at walmart or Sam's Club. Don't forget to keep extra lids on hand.. Happy Canning!

[@VeronicaDrevdahl]

I loved this video! I've always been so intimidated by canning, worried I'd mess it up but your video and actually watching you do it gives me a lot more confidence to try it out!!

[@ThisMamasHouse]

It’s so much easier than I thought It would be

[@springwilliams3072]

I purchased the same Canning recipe book, canning kit, and canner about a year ago. I tried it one time and it was a bit overwhelming. I have been too intimidated to pick it back up, but you totally just motivated me. Going to the store now. Thank you!!

[@Buttercream580]

Loved love love this video! I would love to get into canning one day. So glad to hear more people not celebrating Halloween! 😃

[@meluvs2read]

Removing these air bubbles helps prevent spoilage by leaving adequate room (headspace) for food to expand as it heats up in the jar during processing time. Air bubbles can cause a problem if they prevent your lid from getting a good seal.

[@twilarogers2149]

Absolutely air is bad if you always remember that you'll always remember to debubble your jars.

[@amberatwood]

Canning is tons of fun if you enjoy it. My favorite things to bottle is jams, super easy and there are so many yummy concoctions and the flavor is superb to store bought! Especially if you have littles who enjoy pb&j or if you do homemade biscuits and jam. Enjoy your new adventure the canning community is a fun one!

[@brendatenney8404]

You look so happy talking about canning and crochet. So cute. ❤️❤️. I figure more power to you for enjoying what you love.

[@saintninansplace]

Fantastic video. I really enjoyed it.

[@nicoleschuler6465]

Loved this video!! Please make more canning/prepping etc videos

[@wmccleaning]

Love the video! Soooo informative, love how you covered so much! Looks delish !

[@deedeescraftees]

Thrift stores, Michael’s and Hobby Lobby have canning jars.

[@charissasolik9129]

Love this!

[@nancywilbur3463]

It’s a great way to keep your garden bounty feed you all winter! Good going.

[@maryh.2729]

Thrift stores are a good place to look for canning jars.

[@dotgoodwin4312]

Nice job Tabitha! U did great!

[@samanthamadison8568]

I want to start canning so I really enjoyed your video. It was very inspiring! We had a garden this year as well and look forward to canning the veggies from the garden next year! Thank you for sharing! I would love to see more canning in future videos.

[@carmenwhite6093]

Good for you Tabitha! I love watching your channel for the fun things you do. I’ve tried canning a few years ago but it didn’t work for me unfortunately. I’m so proud of you for doing new things! Never stop trying! Much love from Ohio.

[@carmenwhite6093]

And yay for Ryan!!! I saw your Facebook post. I was always rooting for him. I know he will make a change.

[@mardiemay484]

Very inspiring!

[@meluvs2read]

I'm 70 years old and have never pressure canned anything so I enjoyed watching you. My mom pressure canned lots of foods snd I loved canned chicken.

[@jeaninemunoz1817]

So inspiring! Good for you!! Enjoy!!

[@ParticularlyKat]

I've always wanted to try canning. Thank you for sharing!

[@tammyr2966]

You can also sometimes find jars at yard sales and other online sites, as well as thrift stores! Love that your learning canning, as it has been a lost art! I’ve canned green beans, plums, peaches, pears, cherries, cactus, blackberries, tomatoes, potatoes! I love canning and haven’t done it for several years, but am getting back into it! Hoping to can squash soon! It’s so gratifying to can your own food! We would go to you -pick farms or road side stands for fresh produce really cheap!

[@ThisMamasHouse]

YES! im so excited for farm stands and doing more!

[@desert_moon]

Everything looks great!!!! I love that new tradition idea!!

[@sherribennett8071]

Good job! I can’t wait to see what you will can from your spring/summer garden. 😊

[@charlenebrady9225]

I know how you feel, I love canning. Great job! Have a blessed day🙏❤️

[@flossysmartt]

A country life & jmerril Stewart are also good channels to watch 😄

[@kemilyyoder7107]

I am so proud of you for canning! So many people are so intimidated by it, you were brave 😊I didnt grow up canning, but now its one of my favorite things to do. Such satisfaction in seeing all those jars of food on the shelves, especially home grown goodies. Keep it up 👍

[@therooteddietitian]

Loved this! Just got my all American canner and will be pressure canning for the first time really soon. 🙌🏻

[@ritabaker3113]

Proud of you!! Blessings

[@Banban2025]

Love the video. Food looks yummy.

[@davyrantucci]

❤️❤️ love it! I bought a water bath canner so I’m sticking with that for now and I’ll be checking up on this video when I upgrade to a pressure canner!

[@kikomartin-pr]

I want to learn canning. I only have an instant pot. I do plan to get a canner. I think prepping is a great idea. It’s just me, a single Christian dad and my sons. I know it’s an odd dynamic but their mother walked out on us in 2017 when they were little. We’re doing great though. There are a couple channels that removed me as I didn’t fit their family dynamic. I hope I am welcome here. Loving your channel.

[@cherylcrowell3253]

I loved watching you can!

[@chrisgogreve8743]

This was an awesome video. Take care.

[@sandiebrown8291]

Good job with your canning ... Looking forward to your videos to come out yet...

[@stephaniegunnison5908]

I absolutely love watching canning videos..I’m hoping if I watch enough I’ll do it myself...pressurized cooking scares the crap out of me so I am hoping to see tons of positive cannings in the hopes that it will help me get over my fear that is purely based on hearsay from years and years ago. I’m 33 and always grew up hearing horror stories of pressure cooking and it petrified me. Hoping to get over that I would love to be able to do this for my family also. The satisfaction of canning my own soups and veggies would be amazing

[@alexandranegru5794]

I love your videos. ❤️

[@deborahtrout8821]

I enjoy your videos. Thanks for sharing! Glad you're learning this craft. Simple Living Alaska cans everything. (Eric & Ariel). 😀

[@carriegoerlitz9115]

I was blessed to get some canned chicken from a friend. FYI it has a smell when you first open your chicken. It was so nice to have them ready to go. Enjoy!!

[@journeysbyfaith2473]

Awesome video. I want to try canning for my family .

[@heidifrank4547]

Good for you to start canning! I have been for about 20 years now! One tip would be to do large batches at a time to be more efficient with your time! I realize that may not always be easy with little kids around😉

[@tamekadavis9051]

Heyyyy and Happy Saturday 😊😊😊 love your video ❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@allisonbradburn1868]

Such a great video! Thank you. Pressure canning is something I want to try. I have only been doing water bath canning. Also, I have been crocheting Miss Mustard Seeds farmhouse dish cloths. They are on her channel. So fun! Keep up the good work.

[@twilarogers2149]

So happy to see you canning. I'm a fairly new subscriber so I have been watching all of your videos and just made it to this one today. A good person for you to watch on KZbin is Sutton's daze. Leisa is a great friend of Heather Cohn who is the kneedy homesteader. I love Heather's channel I have been watching her since probably her 6th video. I've watched Leisa for years also

[@GrandmaSandy]

Thought I’d stop by and see what we were cooking today looks pretty good and yummy thank you so much for sharing it with us always love a good cooking recipe and cooking video and you got both great video and great recipe hugs and kisses from grandma Sandy and

[@angelaminutolo5112]

I bought a dehydrater earlier this year too start my preservation journey, next is the All American 921 canner.I make all my own bread,and I am working on my pantry.I love all of your videos and I am also a fellow Michigander

[@paulawalter3056]

Try grocery stores.. I’ve found jars like at Kroger’s, Pick N Save, etc. Wal-Mart is usually out. The canned chicken is awesome, I just canned a bunch and it makes nice broth too. It made great chicken and noodles!

[@heatherjohnson2511]

I love canning, I water bath mine, although I have several pressure cookers, I just haven't worked up my confidence to use them yet for that, I use the pots for my water bath....... I did 3 bushels of tomatoes, and 2 of cucumbers this year, I want to make soups and stews , but I need to do them in the pressure cooker....... as far as some of the veggies your kids don't care for,, I would blend them,, so they would cook down more,, I do that with my husband when I'm first introducing him to a vegetable.....yes he was fussy about not eating his veggies once, he was raised on TV dinners and junk food,, so I had to teach him nutrition!! But blending the veggies and adding them to stuff really makes a difference......such a great feeling to just grab homeade tomatoes out of my pantry...... thank you for sharing!! Great job!! BTW, if it's really late when you can, and it's done with the pressure cooking time, like your able to shut the burner off, and tge steam has released, you can just leave the jars in the canner overnight, it doesn't hurt them, I have seen several others do that, it saves time and they will just cool no problem.

[@leabaron6340]

Simply living alaska is fab! You would get so many tips with canning from them. And becky from acre homestead is also lovely another of my favourites 😍

[@SharonJones-ni6fm]

Hi this is sharon i just wanted to say thank you and have a blessed weekend ok as always stay safe and blessed may God continue to bless you and your family and your home until your next video

[@kathyconger2188]

Great job Tabitha! I don’t have any experience pressure canning. I did water bath canning only. I haven’t canned in 30+ yrs. I do however freeze my tomato juice, veggies, and fruits. Which won’t help us if our power goes down. My freezers are clear full. But it’s what I can do at this season in my life! I would prefer to can, but will have to be happy with freezing my wares right now. But I think it’s so smart to can! Yours looked stunning! What a game changer it will be when your busy or just don’t feel like cooking to go pull a jar! You go girl!😃❤️

[@bellalandino]

i think i might start doing this but i wonder what other recipes there are!! loved this video!!

[@withspiritandgrace7212]

A few beginner tips....do not move, shake, lift the jars, or remove the rings for the first 24 hours after they come out of the canner (you can compromise the seal). I shake my jars while I am putting the veggies in them (before added the broth). It helps compact the contents and you aren't shoving the meat, etc down which can create air pockets. Air pockets can cause your jars to explode while in the canner, thus the need to de-bubble. Also, if you are going to add warm/hot liquid to your jars it is best to have warm jars and warm water in your canner. This will prevent busted jars as well. You can cold pack/fill your jars just make sure your liquid isn't boiling hot...think more room temperature. Then your canner also needs to not be hot as well. You want all your steps to be the same temperature to reduce the risk of a busted jar. I have never had a busted jar by following this method. You look so happy canning. Congrats on your new journey.

[@MomReviews]

If you have a grocery outlet near you look there! I usually can find big packs of jars :) love these canning videos! Please, keep them coming!

[@amandamitchell9359]

More canning videos please!!!

[@lynnebrown-hardy1566]

I am so intimidated and anxious about canning but I just purchased a water bath canner and a pressure canner. I have about 6 flats of jars but need to purchase more. Excited to get started. Watching you do it for the first tine is inspiring.

[@kathrynsavala7806]

I enjoyed this video in the stew looked so good. I have messaged you and one of your other videos and this is completely off the subject but I was wondering if you could tell me where you got your living room rug? I love it and I really want one. Have a wonderful evening

[@michellebonaime8117]

Oh! Tip! I'm majoring in microbiology and biochemistry and huge into canning in my tiny dorm haha but don't leave the rings after your jars have cooled completely! The vacuum seal will keep if done correctly so no worries there but if you keep the rings on and one of your seals break the ring can cause it to seal over again and you wouldn't know. Once it has completely cooled and you take the rings off, you should actually be able to hold up your jars by the sealed flat lid alone; it's that strong! But that can help keep you safe from any bacteria or contaminants!

[@nseni31385]

I love watching other people can, but I don't wish to do it myself. Maybe if i had a garden or something 🤔

[@stephaniegzik6050]

Great canning video. No worries no Halloween here in my family either.

[@RockSimmer-gal4God]

I’ve never canned b4. We have a canner and cans for making sauerkraut, but I’ve not yet done it. I’ve never made vegi stock but it sounds awesome especially as we are vegetarian and we love stock and gravy. I love that it’s realistic and not pinstrest worthy

[@suziebuckingham9053]

The 1870’s Homestead is a good one too. She canned a lot this year.

[@FarmersWifeHomestead]

Was coming to say the same thing. Love their chanel

[@homebuddha]

That was great and inspiring! You look fresh and bubbly for a busy long day (9pm) I would be fried and hit the hay hours ago after a day like yours ha! Thanks for the video. just a suggestion for those of us who find it difficult to read small blurring font, Pls can you choose a clear font & keep in mind colour & size in your thumbnails, that would be really helpful. My eyes aren’t youthful & laser sharp anymore lol

[@mom2nan552]

Tomatoes onions and peppers are a staple I grow every year to make my tomato based sauces

[@stevenhall1097]

When we can we never soaked the lids. Just wipe off the tops and seal the top on tight. Let the presser cooker do the rest.

[@brittanyc4885]

You can reuse jars, so maybe you can find some jars at thrift stores, then just buy new lids and rings! I did a little canning last summer, like 5 cans total, I'm hoping to get more into it in the future. ❤

[@lovebug8720]

You can always take your extra vegetables and make vegetable soup with them if you have any leftover

[@nseni31385]

Jamerill Stewart uses some tall jars to store her prepped salads for the week (using applesauce cups at the top for dressings I think) that way she can stay on track with her eating. Maybe you could utilize that as well now that you have the jar. Just dump the dressing in shake it up and eat!

[@jodeangraybill1159]

Anything you have left you can also can them. I love canned carrots, potatoes and celery individualy. They can be added to any meal you make. You debobble to get the air out so it doesn't have a place to grow bacteria. Leisa at suttons dazes says if you don't put bacthula in the jars you don't get bacthula out of the jar

[@bobbettenacco1012]

I had to remind myself that although it looks fun, you worked so hard. Thank you for sharing your first canning experience with us. Everything looked so good

[@shirleyjjohnston5469]

I’m so impressed that you never canned before and it looks like you did well. Truthfully, the idea of doing this really scares me. I need a human next to me to guide me. You looked exhausted after finishing. Acre Homestead, gosh I hope I got it spelled right, is a young women who cans everything! And her garden is a dream. She’s new check her out. She has great tips. 🎃

[@ThisMamasHouse]

I gave her a shoutout during my video 😉

[@tammyr2966]

Also Whippoorwill Holler is another great channel for canning and preserving, as well as the Canning Nanna!

[@CalledCatholic]

Canned potatoes are the best! They just taste different. Easiest and tastiest instant mashed potatoes or breakfast potatoes from them!

[@michellechannell1219]

Loved this thank you for sharing. Which book has the chicken recipe you used?

[@ThisMamasHouse]

I linked it in the description box

[@pamfrey6785]

Check antique store’s for canning supplies

[@meeganjae72]

I would make your stock from the scraps and then make some soup with your leftover chopped vegetables 😋. Double duty. Then can some stick and some soup.

[@meeganjae72]

Stick = stock

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Good idea

[@BecauseIAMAGirl2011]

You should also check out three rivers homestead

[@deborahstewart2322]

Looks very good, are you feeling ok? I need to do this if I ever catch beef on sale, it’s so high here.

[@valeriesearles3000]

I've always wanted to learn to can. It always seemed so scary. I freeze a lot of produce from the garden because of that. But I would love to learn in the future.

[@ThisMamasHouse]

It was super intimidating but a lot easier than I thought!

I have zero time for canning at this point in my life, but I'm watching this bit by bit as I can because I want the knowledge to be stored somewhere in the back of my brain, lol. Thanks for sharing!

Same than me 😊

[@patriciacorpe9957]

May I say Whippoorwill Holler U tube Miss Lori Brown she an older lady who really knows her canning.. she grows all her food as well.

[@aw8758]

how long can these meals last that are canned? also these do not go in the fridge right?

[@ThisMamasHouse]

Shelf stable for 1-5 years!

[@annewinslow839]

Although it may be an expensive initial investment, you'll be using the jars and canning pot for years if you take care of them properly and will more than pay for themselves with the money you'll save by canning your own food!

[@Simmingmomma]

The bubbles stop you from getting a good seal.

[@Simmingmomma]

Btw: I always have good luck at Blain’s Farm and Fleet for jars.

[@laurab1089]

1-5 years 🤯

@@ThisMamasHouse perfect!!!! I am so excited to do this 💗

[@jodeangraybill1159]

Your doing great at canning. Two people I follow the most is suttons daze and Jeni Gough. They have been canning a long time and have alot of great videos. You Sould go check them out too

[@Nins-niche67]

If you leave the bubbles your contents will siphon out of the jar during canning.
