Feeding a Large Family for a Week and Food Preservation Projects!

In today's new large family meals of the week video, we have large family cooking and canning from scratch! We make several simple slow cooker meals, roast brussel sprouts in the oven, have some easy breakfasts, and cook up a big homestead breakfast, too. We also make homemade bone broth from the bones of the full cow we purchased. And we can mandarin oranges from a big bulk fruit deal I snagged, too. You also get to see the progress of our big family bathroom renovation and lots more fun! Thanks for hanging out with me and getting this cooking and canning from scratch done, yay!

Jamerrill, I feel like you deserve a rolling cart for your canning adventures to help you transport your various jars and large bowls and etc. Relatively inexpensive and will save your back from injury again ❤

[@tamarasfavorites2116]

I am a new subscriber and have been watching a marathon of your videos while sick with Covid. I admire you for your faithfulness and your dedication to God and family. Bless you for what you show us and presenting your videos with such a sweet spirit! 😊

[@pauletteverrette4002]

Feel better soon..covid sucks

[@HannahMattox]

Hope you feel better! You'll be here forever now that you've stepped foot in the Stewart door 😂

[@danapanapooper1441]

Prayers for you. I hope you feel better soon.

[@carolenesselrodt9886]

My husband and I also have Covid. Watching from Williamsburg Va!

[@shaileenacevedo2938]

Amen

[@jennifers6845]

I love watching you. You and your lifestyle are my Hopes and dreams. You are simply a beautiful woman

[@CindyKinney]

Who knew watching someone canning food would be so relaxing and enjoyable. I secretly surmise it's because I'm not having to do all that work. Great job, Jamerrill.

[@lovenotes5299]

It is relaxing to can and then see all the jars of food and how easy it is to just open a jar and throw a meal together by heating it up!

[@carolynmills513]

Lol...I have that same flannel nightgown. So comfy!

[@Its_me_Debi]

I have that same gown with the cardinals on it, it's so soft and comfy and it has pockets ❣❣❣❣❣

[@donnastevenson6700]

Once when I was younger, I went to an auction. I got a entire truck full of mason jars for my grandparents ( whom canned a lot) for $5. They thought they hit the lottery.

[@sarahireland7727]

I just finished watching this video and I'm exhausted! I've done water bath canning before but have always been a little leary of pressure canning after seeing one blow irs top when I was a kid (I'm 71 now). I finally bought a digital pressure canner and love it. I live alone so I don't need to can nearly as much as you do but I've been experimenting. I try not to waste anything so I either freeze or dry things and now I can as well when I find good deals at the grocery store. I've canned sweet potatoes, pinto beans, carrots, split pea soup with ham, pulled pork, taco soup, stuffed pepper soup and chili. I also canned some pepper steak that I can add thickener to when I heat it up. Now, after watching you, I want to try my hand at canning potatoes. Thank you for these videos and for the inspiration. ❤️

[@WendyMagrath]

My grandma taught me to can. She always loved to see her finished product on the counter and said the fruit looked like jewels in the jar. And I always do the same now and think of her. They are beautiful.

[@mamagsprepngarden]

@jamerrilstewart On the jar that has some come out of it...... It's called siphoning. It happens when the temperature changes too fast. A bunch can siphoned out of your jar. It especially happens with broths. When your canner is done lift the lid and just offset it on top of the canner for 5 mins.... That will help bring down the temp gradually. Also, the jar that did siphon..... If the seal is still good..... It's fine. You do t need to throw it out. ❤️ Love Grace W.

[@maryreynolds5310]

The bathroom is going to be a dream bathroom for sure! ...and Jamerrill, thank YOU for having me! Have a wonderful week ahead 🌼

[@JamerrillStewart]

Thank you, Mary. I hope you have a fantastic week as well! There should be several new videos this week. ❤️❤️❤️

[@tobiestann4228]

I just want to say thank you. I am pregnant with #4 and had a rough first trimester. Now that I'm 18wks I'm starting to get some energy back. I've been marathoning your videos for the last week or so to keep motivated with cleaning my sorely neglected home. I don't know what it is, music doesn't do it for me, but having you talking to me as I scrub the stove and vacuum- it's like having another person here and I don't feel so alone in my mama struggles. ❤️❤️

[@isabelpimentel1415]

You can also have a strip of wood put in front of your pantry shelves, like a little fence, to stop the canned jars from falling or like you said an earthquake shaking them from the shelves.

[@Aga_U.]

I am a fairly new fan of yours, following you for a month and watching both old and new videos daily. I'm currently 6 months pregnant and sometimes I have trouble sleeping. Whenever this happens, I always play some of your videos, and your voice is so soothing that it always helps me fall asleep. Of course I need to watch you again in the morning to catch up what I missed 🤣 Nonetheless, thank you for being YOU ❤

[@Lilredfrog4576]

Good morning from the UK Jamerill, I found you by accident but have become addicted, just brought A year without the Grocery store and Preppers Pantry. Am very jealous of the storage space that people have over there. I have been a jammer and preserver plus 'prepper' since 2010 ( was a single parent at that point). Thank you, God Bless you all, and keep you safe.

[@lindametcalf9169]

Homemade broth is liquid GOLD! 😋

[@lindagraff2484]

I used to.make this breakfast scramble when we went camping. We called it A Farmers Breakfast, was a big hit.

[@danamama6766]

Mandaran oranges sound really exciting, never thought of them. Seeing the broken one reminded me of this. I always used the wrack for years. (I only have ever done one layer) and a few years ago someone told me of the silicone canning mats. I was terrified of it at first. But it has been fabulous and a softer landing if a jar slips. And I think over all a softer thing to rattle on during the process than a hard bottom or wrack. I love it. Such a beautiful sight all the finished jars are :). hugs

[@tamerawencl5675]

Love your videos! Just had to share, that after showing my hubby one of your videos where you're cooking in those giant cast iron skillets, guess who got one for Christmas! LOL :) We love it! I'm coming to your house for dinner - hahaha You always make us hungry. ;)

[@handyfamilyman]

Great job momma! What a beautiful sight! You truly are such an inspiration! - Stephanie 💕🌷

[@kathybrunson2390]

Jamerrill you should try putting diced boiled eggs in your tuna salad. It’s super yummy and makes the tuna salad go farther.

[@sharonthepixie]

Full of the Cold here in Scotland, I’ve been working through the batch frozen meals I have, tonight was beef stew and dumplings with frozen cheesy mash and frozen broccoli. I’ve never been so glad to have batched cooked

[@jenaemarieAZ]

You always amaze me at how much you accomplish! Such an awesome homemaker!

[@pattyweber6025]

I put my vinegar in a spray bottle from Dollar Tree. Spray my towel when it needs it and then there is no waste-the vinegar left in the bottle is not contaminated and easily fits into the cupboard for the next canning project. LOVED watching this-thanks so much for taking the time to share. ❤

[@melboe6842]

I don't put vinegar in the canner. I just take off the rings, check the seals, and wash them in the sink with soap and water. Then I label them. Then if there has been some siphoning, it gets them all clean. And that is what happened to that one jar (pretty common with broth). If the seal was good, it would be fine to use. If not - stick it in the fridge and use it in the next week.

[@ElleLizzyMay]

I paid $9 Aussie dollars for a dozen eggs yesterday, I’m not sure why they’ve almost doubled in price since Christmas. Interesting that your prices in the US so closely reflect ours. I thought ours were due to weather, train derailments and Covid. Thank you for your videos, you keep me company when I’m home alone!

[@joyceprice6749]

I don't know why unless it's price gouging. Went to get some stuff at our local Walmart and they were $16.97 for 5 dozen. That's cheaper than a lot of places. Farmers even say stores are charging way to much. Our news outlets said prices will start coming down soon. Take care.

[@jessann5581]

You’re lucky to even get eggs, I couldn’t get eggs AT ALL at my local coles, woolies, IGA, Foodland/Drakes BUT I could get them over at my local fruit and veg. I got 30 eggs for $11.99. I’m going back tomorrow to buy more as my family missed eggs. I’m making my husband set up and chicken coop for chickens, I’m sick of not being able to get any. Hello from South Australia.😀

[@janet9500]

We had what I call the ‘Chicken Flu’ and killed them off. I’m not sure if that is really true! It’s just my husband and I, so I only buy 1/2 doz. At a time. I’ll buy a dozen if I’m doing some big cooking or baking. But I love to watch Jamerrill do all things. Her kindness to all blesses my heart 🫶🏼.

[@melaniedennis9540]

@@joyceprice6749 I'm from New Jersey & I paid 13.98 for 60/5 dz eggs at Walmart

[@helenlecornu1651]

I bought a dozen a few weeks (I think post Chrissie) back for AUD$2.50.

[@kjnz2804]

Like I said before, girl, you are a machine !! You go momma

[@judyland-obrien4259]

SO very satisfying to see all your canned goods! My mother-in-law and I used to can together...hours upon hours of working, talking, laughing and making loving memories. Thanks you, Jamerrill!! Sweet.

[@tammyreinsel9450]

Put eggs in the instant pot with a cup of water for 6 minutes. Turns out great. And easy to peeled

[@wendydixon7534]

I suggest that when you are filling jars repeatedly like that that you use a glass measuring cup to scoop up the broth. It will save your wrist and arm.

[@emilasmith4279]

Yay! I was hoping for a Jamerrill fix today, and poof there you were! ❤ Wow! This was the week leading up to the big meat and potatoes canning!! Amazing girl that you had energy for that big adventure after doing all this canning work the day before! You rock! Hugs Em ❤❤❤❤

[@maryoconnell8298]

You need a cute little tea cart, this way you can just roll the jars over to the canner. And then you have a cute decoration for the kitchen.

[@amberpoynter3303]

Thank you for modeling real life for us! It would be so easy to edit the spills and time lapse out to have the video seem like it was the same day, thank you for your integrity

[@joyceprice6749]

Yay . Click when I saw your video. Got my husband to watching. We're getting a lot of snow here in NC mountains. Love watching your cooking and canning videos. Canned 30 pounds of pork yesterday. It was .99 a pd. God bless you all. 💙🙏💙

Yea for you Jamerrill on all the canning I know how good it feels to have food ready for your family. It's great you are looking well to the way of your household.

[@carolbrand6566]

As you have a freeze dryer you could air dry your orange/lemon peels powder them and use in baking smoothies and such 😊

You need a kitchen cart to can, you can put your jar's you filled on it and roll it to the stove.

[@doloreslee9330]

Hiya! The orange board in the shower is waterproof tile backer board. If the new bathroom is half as good as the kitchen, it will be beautiful! We just finished a down to the studs remodel of our downstairs which included the kitchen, laundry room and a powder room. It was rough but we got it done in 6 months…

[@bostonterriermomakasandy9722]

Jamerrill, that bone broth looks awesome! I think I can smell it here in Cleveland Ohio.😂😂😂😂

[@carlinaschipper7790]

Tip… when canning liquids I dip a large pouring container into my pan to pour into the jars. It makes filling jars a lot easier and faster and the liquid doesn’t have as much of a chance to cool down.

[@threadlovert1393]

I do this also. It definitely speeds up the process!

[@sortathesame8701]

I prefer to wash my jars by hand, because there is less chance of breakage and I can check them each for chips or cracks that may have occurred when they were being used. We each do things our own way and all of those ways are valid if we end up with food for our families!

[@FoodPreservation]

A tip for your water bath canners: The rack you have in the bottom has handles with a bit of a zigzag. That hooks onto the side of the canner so you can fill the rack and lower the jars down together. Same when taking the jars out. Lift the rack, hook it onto the side of the canner and easily remove the jars without boiling water splashing onto your hands. It also reduces jars toppling over while removing them individually. Happy canning!

[@WithAFullHeart]

We live in Alaska where hundreds of earthquakes happen daily. We have just run black tape along the front of the shelves of jars. So far, it has worked great! It kind of let's jars bounce off of it and back.

[@heatherkenworthy4969]

Love it when we get Jamerril videos

[@bylindalawrence5943]

Oh my Jamerill, I have the same flannel night gown you are wearing. I love how cozy it is.

[@lindacampbell2329]

That jar lifter is faulty in every ball kit mine does the same definitely a hazard . I’m 74 and still do some canning but just watching you is exhausting . I do only 6-12 jars at a time and no where near all the choices you do . I appreciate you showing all the moms how to do these things it is very needed in todays world . Thank you for all you do . Even I have learned a thing or two from your videos . Take some rest time for yourself ..

[@DJ-nh6wq]

I came here to say the same thing about the jar lifter 😮. That lifter isn’t made to last at all. I now have a light green handled one that came in a canning starter kit along with the lid magnet tool, an opener/lid tightener and a book. Everything that came in the kit works great every single time I use it

[@noellanmcdaniel9055]

If u put the vinegar in a bowl to wipe rims, it helps remind you to pour the bowl into the canner!

[@amandamartin1062]

In sharpie write VINEGAR on top of the side of your canners so you remember to add it to the water

[@JamerrillStewart]

Trouble game was known as Frustration in the UK in the sixties when I was a child, we used to love playing that game with my Dad. Happy memories. Xx

[@rhiahlMT]

Jamerrill, put the rings back on the jars when you empty them. It protects the rims after they are washed. Don't have to put the lids on, just the rings.

[@lisalandry4879]

I use a large plastic measuring cup instead of ladle to dish out the broth, goes much quicker. Yours looks amazing!!!

[@sevenjacobs]

I like to fill my dishwasher with my jars and run a quick load and take my clean sterilized jars straight from the dishwasher to my canning project!

[@MamaDrama8]

Your videos make me so happy! Thank you for being such a wonderful inspiration to others. I love your content but I highly favor your sweet meek spirit.

[@justpatty7328]

For canning I have found one jar at a time allows for interruptions and I am more diligent about the process. My 2 cents worth. Happy happy day to you!

[@kelliewilson5980]

Love how much you do for your big family! When I can from a roaster, I use my measuring cup to get it out, and it makes filling the jars very quick.

[@sherrymahsburn4317]

Hey Jamerill. I love watching your videos.

[@homefries5557]

Yes both things I love! Remodel and food preservation! All in 1 video! ❤

[@marygray174]

When you put a little vinegar in a tiny bowl to clean off the tops you can empty the bowl in your canner.

[@JamerrillStewart]

Great idea!!

[@deborahstewart2322]

I love watching you can, I got the big bags of frozen mixed vegetables at Walmart and canned them in pint jars, so nice to fill my pantry.

[@stuckinmopro8533]

Just a suggestion: when chopping large amounts of eggs for egg salad use your star shaped meat mashers to chop the eggs into crumbles. It works great!

[@GAPeach58]

I love that tool!

[@ceselb]

Have you ever considered having a shelf or something on wheels to unload on when canning? Either that or with the bigger canner now you need bigger cutting boards, so you can have a full one on the same thing.

[@kristab7900]

I just barely finished the 900 Million canning jar extravaganza and you give us more. Woo and 2 hoos be still my beating heart

[@cbagot]

I just did bone broth with ox tail. Roasted first with vegetables. Then put in pot with more vegetables and herbs and beef broth. Cooked for about 14 plus hours on slow cooker low. It came out super yummy. I made it super concentrated and will dilute when I use in recipes.

Home canned broth is a beautiful thing and a great addition to your pantry. Loving the canning videos. Thanks!

I love watching canning, wish there was away that I could can, but my apartment is to small. I do love watching you guys meal plan your food for your family.

[@susanhepditch9462]

Wow ! What a accomplishment for the day, makes me wish I had a canner but I really don't think that I would have the energy to do it. I'm soon going to be 72 and I have degenerative disk disease, sometimes I wonder if I'm going to be able to even stand in the shower long enough to finish, before I have to get out. Stairs are hard for me to handle and my cold room is in the basement. I used to make up pickled beets and lady Ashburn pickles which I dearly love, but I haven't done them for 6 years

[@teresakryvenchuk6205]

The can goods look so lovely. I admire you so much. God bless you and your family.

[@jessann5581]

I’m actually pretty early for once. Hello from South Australia. Most the time I listen to the videos while doing house stuff and kids are at school BUT today my husband worked night shift so he has the day off AND as he is sleeping I don’t wanna make to much noise, I’m also pregnant so I’m taking the day to just chill out and relax and catch myself after a hectic week and weekend with our 3 boys. Nothing wrong with a down day, everything will still be there for me to do tomorrow. (It’s Monday the 13th of feb in Australia), I know there’s a time difference. Didn’t want people confused. Haha. Thank you for another video. I do enjoy watching/listening to you. Got such a soothing voice as well. God bless.

[@erinb.5103]

Liking the canning videos.

[@ruthholmes9087]

Love your videos. Your voice is so calming and relaxing too! I'm sure you've thought of this or had it suggested but, what if you got a rolling kitchen cart to load jars onto to take to or away from the canning area. It might save you a few hundred steps too.

[@jeanhecker4533]

Have you considered getting a rolling trolley to use when moving jars of food from your stove to the counter. Amazon has several designs. Of course you wouldn’t get all your steps in. 😉

[@candlegirl1973]

That board in the bathroom is called backer board. I can't wait to see it all complete!! Your meals always look amazingly yummy!!

[@phyllissherman8625]

You can take a teaspoon and poke the bottom of the egg 🥚 and it'll be easier than taking the shells off

Thanks for sharing ♥️💪.. blessings to you and your beautiful family 🤗

[@Mom-pu8vt]

Love following the new home renovations too :) I have the same slotted spoon but in green, just happened to find in it in our local supermarket, love it and a must have as so handy. By the way you could use a small Pyrex glass jug to take out a bigger amount of broth and use the ladle at the end- much faster.

[@gloriadavidson8599]

Just ABSOLUTELY LOVING your canning videos they are so inspiring and at the same time oddly relaxing!!!!! 👏👏👏👏👏 Thank you for sharing ❤️❤️

[@ann-mariegrey9775]

the beef tallow is wonderful for frying potatoes and you can also use orange juice instead of a sugar syrup

[@cynthiagilbert]

Is that the fat skimmed off the beef broth? And can you freeze it?

[@Mlemarie100]

You could use a large glass measuring cup to scoop the broth. I use my 4 cup Pyrex one to scoop large amounts

[@carolynczachura138]

We love your vlogs. I have been watching you for years. I recently got my Mom watching you. We love all of your vlogs.

[@carolenesselrodt9886]

Watching from Williamsburg Va! 💜your new kitchen! We are sorta neighbors lol!

[@Purritt2b]

Have you thought of using a measuring cup to poor the broth into the jars? Also if you have too many bones to keep you can make the broth and really condense it down then use the freeze dryer to make a instant bouillon. Its a suggestion so if your into issues getting jars/lids it one way to save room and your sanity with eternal questions of "Where am I going to find/make room for all these jars. After all why only have liquid broth and its a way to use your used lids for powders and such. Again my hat's off to you for all that you do on and off screen. Have a blessed day to you and your family.

[@Nins-niche67]

Jammerel. If you have a jar that looses liquid just refrigerate and use it within a couple days

[@SylvieTDoyon]

you should never put empty jar in the ove, it weaken them (pardon my french) I hope you understant what I mean, but since I learned that, I always put mine in the oven with about 1/2 inch of water in my jar. What I mean is you shouldn't heat an empty jar, no matter the method you use, Keep on the great job, I love your video. from Quebec, Canada

[@MFV77]

I thought of this as well but haven’t tried it yet.

[@tdewtx]

Jamerrill, Once I remove the pulp and bones from my Oster like you have and fill it back up with water I will get 14 quarts. I let cook another half hour on a simmer. That is only if I fill it back up with water.

[@Loraleijean]

I sometimes use a glass Pyrex measuring cup to ladle both into jars. It goes pretty quickl, and it has the pour spout.
