EASY Canning W/O special equipment: Jam // Homesteading

Waterbath canning without tons of special equipment! This video was sponsored by Squarespace. To get 10% off a site of your own, visit www.squarespace.com/anneofall...
In this homesteading video, I'll show you how to make low sugar raspberry peach jam and how to can it using the water bath canning method. Making jam from scratch is very easy, and is a great way to preserve summer fruits for winter consumption. Here on the homestead we are in gardening zone 8b and have everbearing raspberry canes and grow the Frost variety Peaches. Food preservation and canning are very important aspects of homesteading, but can seem very daunting. In this video, I'll show you a very safe and easy way to do it.

Get it Mom of all trades! Killin it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@AnneofAllTrades]

MOAT is the bomb.

[@THISisglmicle]

you got me with the puppy teeth. I love puppies. And, you got my mouth watering. Two of my most favorite fruits

[@AnneofAllTrades]

That's one special spoon!

[@quixoticjedi942]

My raspberry season is the middle of July and I can't wait til it's over. Usually pick a half gallon of berries daily for up to three weeks, or until I get a heavy rain that turns them to mush on the canes. I'd go crazy picking berries from April til November.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Haha fair enough!

[@WattsWoodenWonders]

It was good to see your mom and see you two make something together! That looked delicious! Too bad you can't taste things through the monitor. lol

[@AnneofAllTrades]

It really is too bad, my mom is an incredible cook. I'm glad she shared her love of food and cooking with me!

[@KarlBunker]

That's such a sweet story about your favorite spoon.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

It's a special one!

[@1959ticktock]

great to see that mother/daughter relationship coming through, despite the 'acting'!

[@donaldtrabeaux1305]

Awesome 😎 thanks for sharing

[@hmichaelpower]

Now all you and your mom Need is a good slice of sourdough bread baked in your pizza oven to put the jam on! Love your videos.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Thank you! We do do a lot of baking, but alas, I’m allergic to sourdough!

[@pedalman4595]

Beautiful Moments!!!!!!!!

[@FredMcIntyre]

[@daveharrington7500]

Thanks Anne for introducing us to your family and another great video.

[@dalemoskalyk1227]

Mama needs a channel. Bet she has a lotta tricks and tips.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

She sure does! I'll invite her over more often :)

[@Kkuts37]

Wonderful collab! :)

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I'll collab with my momma any day of the week!

[@GibClark]

Awesome 👍👍👍👍

[@thedarwinexperience5312]

Always enjoying the content. Keep it up!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Really glad to hear it! Thanks for watching.

[@One_Crazy_Dog_Mum]

Thanks ladies, team work makes the dream work 💖

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I always love when my momma can be part of the team!

[@offgridsweden]

Awesome, love to make jams and marmelades. Have an amazing weekend, Andreas 🇸🇪

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Thank you! Isn't it fun!

[@Bill.L.Carroll]

Yummy looking batch of jams! Making me hungry... Good to see you sharing quality time in the kitchen with your mum. 👍🏽

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Thanks Bill!

[@twunderaquatics1770]

Great video! Loved seeing you and your Mom working together. I love the noise the lids make just as they seal. To a canner that's the best sound in the world. Lol

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I agree! I could listen to those little pops all day long!

[@ecrusch]

That was super cool !! You can tell your Mom really knows her stuff !!! Thanks Anne, you're awesome!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

She really does. I'm thankful she's willing to teach me so much!

[@69virgin1966]

Another great video Anne! Seeing your mom I can see where you get your beauty from. Oh and where you get your awesome skills from as well as your creativity. Keep the great videos coming. Thanks for sharing and God bless

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I'm very thankful for my momma! My creativity and zest for life is a direct result of her investment in me.

[@SirMonkknight]

I like you. I been doing similar for awhile now. Funny people always say your jam tastes funny. Haha cause it tastes like fruit instead of sugar with flavouring. Nice looking jam and you got no foam on top I do and do bit of a skim before ladling.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Thanks for following along! Jam should definitely taste like fruit, not sugar :)

[@SawdustmakerLori]

Loved the video and also great to have your mom in it. She is a natural! I never knew exactly how to can fruit so it was interesting to watch. Keep up the great work!!!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I think a lot of people are afraid to can because they think it's a lot harder than it really is.

[@8stringmonkey]

Yummy! Bet that spoon is awesome for getting in the edges of pans and bowls. Awesome end grain cutting board too.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

It really is great!

[@alanrouse8301]

Looks good enough to eat! Thanks. I am an old dude reliving my childhood with your videos. Thank you.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

So glad to bring back some happy memories!

[@Grunt49]

Coffee,toast and jam.Heaven

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I agree! My favorite breakfast.

[@charlesmeyer7021]

You can substitute sugar for honey which adds flavor and minerals

[@AnneofAllTrades]

We have done that in the past, but it turns out we prefer sugar for jams and baking and honey just as it is. I've found that the honey we harvest from our bees has too strong a flavor and it tends to overwhelm the other flavors we are trying to bring out.

[@grizzly22485]

Your mom is a cool mom. Cherish that. Cheers!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I surely do! I am very blessed to have her.

[@marty01957]

Great Video, Anne! You are both so pretty and you sound just like each other, Cool!!!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I'll take any comparison to my mom any day! She is a wonderful lady.

[@MTNurse]

WOW! That is SO great that you do not need to use the usual amount of sugar ( like many, many cups!) to get the same result. I have never heard anyone mention this method. Thanks!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Oh yeah! Low sugar is great. I didn't know it was "different" until I started tasting other folks' cooking, and got quite a shock to say the least.

[@jgrow15068]

Yuummm love video, and hi mom

[@AnneofAllTrades]

She's the best!

[@pteddie6965]

It's such a treat to see you and "Mom of All Trades" together. Is she using the tiny hose that you and April built? I hope that she will return often. I'm sure that all of us 'old coots' would like that.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

She will definitely be around, and that's something I'm very happy to report. She had some serious health concerns last year that were the catalyst for building the tiny house, but thankfully, she has made a miraculous recovery, and doesn't need the tiny house after all :)

[@WayneT51]

A wise girl or bloke learns from her mum and or grearndmum. Greetings from downunder.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

My mom's got so much goodness to share too!

[@tonyburelle6633]

Man,does that ever look fantastic, my first thought was, I'd love to pair that with peanut butter on toast, pancakes and waffles, anything, then I was thinking, I'll bet that's great by itself, thanks for the yummy video

[@AnneofAllTrades]

It's good on all the things!

[@leebarnhart9725]

Good to meet the mother that had a hand in raising such a fine daughter. I didn't know about ever bearing raspberries? Sounds like the best idea I'll hear all day.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

She's a truly incredible lady. Any goodness you see in me is a very dim reflection of her wonderful character.

[@leebarnhart9725]

Anne of All Trades and I'll bet she's so proud of you! Who wouldn't be.

[@bulldozer7656]

Wow, I didn't know it was that easy.. Thanks for sharing w Mom.. Y'all have the same voice ;-)

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Hopefully we share a lot of the same attributes, she's a pretty incredible lady! I'm lucky to have her.

[@joexg50]

Arms Family Homestead is this guys channel from Oklahoma.. funny channel too. Tried giving April a planter thing he got from Amazon for round 30 bucks it makes 4 little potting soil plots for a single planter type thing, pretty neat.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Thanks for the tip! I checked them out.

[@husk79]

cool!! my mom makes jam too.. but she always puts a sh*t load (excuse my french) of sugar! i thinnk id prefer it this way with less sugar!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Definitely give it a try! It's delightful.

[@stumorrison27]

Beautiful video Annie, I like wheat toast with jam and coffee. (fyi)

[@AnneofAllTrades]

hahaha I'll have to bake you some wheat bread next visit!

[@Gforceracing20]

Mom of All Trades Don't Play! Uses her hand as a cutting board...skillz

[@AnneofAllTrades]

hahaha she is something else.

[@RobertBrown-rc6lu]

Peaches are easier to peel if you blanch them first. Also, you might want to invest in some hot pads. Love your videos.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Haha both are true things!

[@PaulinaPaulino]

First, I never knew your ACTUAL last name was "Of All Trades" until you introduced Mom Of All Trades. Second, Momma calls you ANNIE! Is that so CUTE????

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Hahaha it's not... and yes, I'll always be her little Annie.

[@jonelladeboer9525]

"You forget I have no fingerprints..."

[@AnneofAllTrades]

hahaha! It's true. Between working in restaurants 7 years and playing so many instruments, there's nothing left.

[@DustyKorpse]

👍

[@neerithedragon298]

For me I dont really see the purpose of the last boil. Can somebody elaborate a bit for me? (thanks for the awesome vid btw, Anne, you really are an inspiration!)

[@AnneofAllTrades]

It just ensures that the seal gets nice and tight. You *could* risk it and just lid the jars and hope the heat from the jam was enough to seal it, but I wouldn't recommend it.

[@walterrider9600]

thank you Anne . nope i hate burning myself lol

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Haha I worked in restaurants to pay my way through college and after, burns rarely phase me anymore

[@sadidiker]

🖒🖒🙌🙌

[@IgermandudeI]

Hello, you link for the sweater doesnt seem to be working, do you have the brand name so i can look it up?

[@AnneofAllTrades]

It was naketano, they went out of business.

[@dorindajenkins7825]

👋😃

[@jeffmoss26]

MOM!!

[@AnneofAllTrades]

Mom of All Trades is the bestest

[@scootscoot2k]

Where did Mom of all trades learn her homesteading skills? does she have her own little farm?

[@AnneofAllTrades]

She learned from my grandma and from her grandma too. She doesn’t have a farm, my parents are full time missionaries, but she always helps at their community garden and spends a lot of time visiting me and my farm in Seattle.

[@andrewpaterson4672]

why is it necessary to boil the full jars?

[@AnneofAllTrades]

To seal them so they are safe to store in the cupboard instead of the freezer :)

[@natebolton9385]

aww this made me a little sad. My gram always made strawberry and black raspberry jams and she'd give it to us grandkids when we ask. Sadly her memory had gotten to the point she couldn't do it anymore.

[@AnneofAllTrades]

cherish those memories! I have fond ones of my grandmother as well.

[@MrCoffeypaul]

CALCIUM CITRATE , WHAT?

[@AnneofAllTrades]

I'm not sure I understand the question.

[@MrCoffeypaul]

That Mom of yours is almost as impressive yourself!
