I've seen people make fodder for cows by sprouting the grain. Apparently it makes it easier to digest and you get a lot more fodder weight wise because you let the grain develop into sprouts. Maybe that's something you want to look into, too.

Looking at jars is so satisfying. I remember when Jenni Gough moved all her jams and jellies into a tall , corner cabinet and she left the doors open. ❤ It was like a cabinet of jewels! So pretty. I’m all for your dream of pretty shelves! Couple of cookbooks tossed in for inspiration while you’re enjoying your coffee ☕️. Mmhmm, yup.

Oh I so wish we lived closer! My husband does woodworking as a hobby and he was so excited to hear about the canning jar wall! He made one for us in our previous home and is chomping at the bit to find a place in our new much smaller home. Sadly, I don’t think we have the room. He says to me “Where do they live? Close enough for me to go help Travis make that?” When I told him you were in Virginia, he was like “Darn!”

[@jahnkecy]

I've been making peanut butter for many years, I'm 80 years old. I just use roasted peanuts & about 3 teaspoons of oil. It really depends on the nuts, some a drier than others. I use my Cuisinart, it will let you know if a little more oil is needed. Good luck and have fun. 😊

[@georgiegirl6815]

I roast raw peanuts and while they are still warm pop them in a food processor. Warm nuts seem to let out more oil. Feel free to add a touch of cinnamon or cocoa powder

You're so inspiring. I've already raised my family but in retirement I've realized I'm very lucky to have grown up with a pioneer Lutheran Norwegian family who worked farms with horses, raising hops, always a garden as well as working in the fields. They would share and trade with neighbors as well as having work horses. We canned and later in life my mom dried food. Too many things I feel blessed to have been exposed to. We've had a garden so our boys were exposed to that but it's exciting to be sharing with them as adults. I find as my yard has become shaded I gr9w and dry many herbs. Health issues for some of us, pre-diabetes, high cholesterol, severe IBS-D, lactose intolerance have drawn us back to a more healthy diet. So excited about your butter. You can make ghee, and also freeze. I think you can freeze some cheese? We rarely eat out. I'm so happy to see many people getting back to basics. Bless you for sharing.

[@AW-gh3yv]

I think your idea to have a canning shelf in the kitchen is a great idea. Keep your jars in the basement and bring some as you use the ones on the shelf. Then you get the best of both. Good luck on all that upcoming canning. It is definitely a labor of love. Your kitchen really turned out beautiful.

[@pepperwillis4090]

I think the canning wall idea is going to look amazing! Especially if you can get the matching style and wood as the sils and floors. And so long as it’s essentially your “I’m using this right now” stuff there’s no reason why you can’t have it be pretty and on display! Thank you so much for being such an inspiration to all of us. You’re the mama all of us strive to be.

[@janetlee9915]

Not sure if anyone mentioned this. I ferment my feed. You don’t have to rotated 3 buckets. Just keep 1 or 2 cups of the already fermented feed and add it to a new bucket of fresh feed. It will ferment overnight since you already have a starter from the last bucket. Best of luck! Fermenting feed is great for the animals, esp in the cold months!

[@virginiamesko6369]

Jamerill, canned pears are great but if your kids like apple butter and apple sauce, you may want to make crock pot pear sauce and pear butter. Both are easy and chunky pear sauce is a great side with pork or chicken especially. Pear butter doesn't even require you to peel the pears. You just run them through a food mill when they soften, add sugar and spice as desired and can. Just a thought in case you get near the end and want a quick and easy finish.

[@lindachavezw...246]

Mmmm sounds amazing Virginia, I will give the pear sauce a try. Thanks

If you rotate the jars, you will go through them quickly I loved to look at the jars when I canned. You could just have a few of each, go for it

[@justplaintara9028]

I was just thinking the same thing. Why not plan on keeping 3 to 5 jars of each item you canned up in the kitchen so that they get used to feed your family (and your Canning Soul) then keep replacing those that get used? That way you don't lose as much of that hard-won space in your beautiful kitchen!

[@JamerrillStewart]

Yes, this is my original idea that I've been trying to share since the beginning. I've shared that I have a canning storage area in my food storage room downstairs.

I make peanut butter with a high speed blender and raw peanuts. Just grind away. Grind until the heat of the blender really gets it creamy. Goes from peanut powder to peanut butter as you grind. Add salt, sugar, cocoa, whatever you want to flavor it with. It is all an experiment to get to the taste you want.

I love making nut butter! You can use your food processor or high speed blender. Some people toast the nuts in a dry pan first but you don’t have to do that. I don’t anymore. You have to scrape down the sides every so often of either tool you use. It will come into a lump that you’ll need to break up a couple times. But then that stage will pass too. You can season it as you please. I add not only Redmond’s real salt but cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, ginger, cumin. Don’t ask me amounts. I add enough. Some. Not all spices every time. But whatever my mood strikes. That’s how this chick rolls. You can even add a sweetener. Not maple syrup but maybe honey or some coconut sugar or raw sugar. Play with it and see what the fam loves. Enjoy the process.

Hi Jamerrill, have you thought about canning some things for your kitchen shelves that are just for display? I’m thinking of things to supply the burst of colour you are after. Some whole lemons, tangerines, beetroot, blueberries, whole tomatoes, different colour peppers etc. They could be used if you wanted but replaced whenever you are doing more canning. I don’t know much about canning, but just a thought. The minute you talked about doing it, my minds eye immediately jump to those items as a colourful display. Thank you so much for your Vlogs. You have really shown this old dog ( 71 yrs old ) some new tricks.

I’d keep putting new canned items in the basement but definitely have some beautiful new shelves in the kitchen with just have a few jars of each item so you don’t have to go shopping downstairs all the time , then bring up new ones from the basement as you use them so you rotate all the time …….I find I definitely use what I can see so much more than stuff that’s out of sight , whether it is food , craft items , fabric or anything else ..I’m a “visual person” apparently…lol… If I had a large family I’d definitely can fruit etc but it’s just me and hubby most of the time and I’ve had gastric sleeve surgery so don’t eat much …still pondering the thought though as we have loads of fruit farms nearby …..maybe using smaller jars for some items only I would eat would be worthwhile ?….. thinking , thinking , thinking lol

The fermentation process takes three days. So you make one a day. The first one you make after three days you use it. Then you make a new batch in the same bucket and put it at the back of the line. If they don't eat it all u can refrigerate it so it doesn't get moldy.

We've made homemade peanut butter for years. It is hard on your food processor though! We tend to only add a little salt. Completely natural - no sugar no extra oil in most cases as nuts produce their own oil. Don't expect Jif consistency!! If you've ever had a natural peanut butter then you know the oil naturally separates from the butter - you just need to keep remixing as you use it. Hope this helps!

Hi. Can make the suggestion that the canning wall is only one jar deep. That will give you the colour and jars you want and still keep most downstairs. A refill once a week with known projects situation. Don't know what you really plan but if you side glass panels on each row they can maybe get treated with a special flim that maybe block harmful light.
