My 98 year old mother in law has dementia. I try to call her every day and tell her what I am doing. I told her I cleared my garden and we had "stabbed" potatoes for supper. She knew what i meant! She said you weren't very careful with the pitch fork when you were digging! I loved that she was right.

[@marylamphere2112]

That is a beautiful moment you have with her!

[@kelseyfifer6069]

This gave me a knot in my throat, I know your pain. It’s more painful for loved ones than for the person with the disease. I’m sending you love ❤

[@Gagefrederick]

A beautiful moment. Thank you for sharing.

[@darnellprunka7130]

Thank you so much! You have completely inspired me. I’m making this tomorrow. I’ve been so intimidated by my pressure canner, but as I said, you inspired me and I am making this tomorrow, so thank you again for your wonderful videos.

Wonderful!

I used my quart jar to make chicken curry! I put a quart into a pan and started it heating up as I added: 2 T curry paste 1 can coconut milk 1 tsp cinnamon 2 tsp sugar 2/3 cup egg noodles. It was delicious!!

[@HomesteadingFamily]

Sounds great!

[@LindaMcNeely-l6l]

Oh my dear I LOVE you and watching everything you and your family do! I am 78 years old, and I wanted a farm girl life since I was a teenager! I was married to a dear man for 54 years who needed to be closer to his work than my farm would allow. Finally sold the farm and gave up on my dream. Always had wee garden spots and also large pots. I have had a wonderful life and 2 beautiful children, I am alone now, I believe God gave me what He knew I could manage❣️ To you and your family…..♥️

[@Mariaabroad]

Love this idea!!! You can also make a light roux with some butter and flour (I make them in batches and freeze in an ice cube tray) and then when you want to eat, add a cube or two to a pot, let it melt, dump the chicken and gravy on top and it will thicken nicely. That way, you don't have the raw flour taste.

[@saoirse_flies]

Do you mean, can it that way? With the roux on the bottom?

[@Mariaabroad]

@@saoirse_flies no, I make a roux with butter and flour and either milk or broth. Then I freeze it in ice cube trays and anytime I need to thicken something, I just throw a cube or two in to make a gravy.

[@saoirse_flies]

@@Mariaabroad that's really smart! Thanks for explaining... I'm going to start doing this too !

[@cheryladamson3276]

Why do you need to add an acid? Just trying to learn...

[@saoirse_flies]

@@cheryladamson3276 I would love to know, also! I know it's important for canning but the "why" will help me understand and then will be less afraid of canning! I think it has something to do with preserving the food safety

[@gailcroslin1647]

We call that little jar of gold, chicken stew, and it a favorite on our shelves. Beautiful garden, by the way. We just retired, and we're building a little house on our daughter's property. Hopefully, a garden will go in soon. My soul is screaming for some self-sufficiency!

[@dtruman123]

Lol set that baby down in the dirt. City folk be freekin out now. I love it

[@Boots-qu4cj]

I have made this as well and it makes an amazing pot pie in addition to the recipes that you have mentioned. I also love the ease of coming home from work and whipping up a quick nutritious dinner in no time at all.

[@HomesteadingFamily]

Wonderful!

[@AreYouKittenMeRtNow]

I haven’t made pot pie in forever… that’s changing this week!! 🎉

[@cowsal77]

That is fantastic! You could add corn, peas, green beans, shredded cheese and sour cream after thickening and make casserole or thicken then dump into pie crust for chicken pot pie. Bravo!!

[@stephaniejohnson3739]

I bought a Breville from your recommendations on another blog and I have to tell you it is such an amazing game changer!!! We also homestead and pulled in about 215 lbs of potatoes this year. It peeled and diced the potatoes in no time. Also onions and apples etc. That machine is a life saver!! Pricey but worth it!

[@HomesteadingFamily]

Great to hear!

Hello red

[@facefeargrow6031]

My husband and I just started canning and your canning raw chicken video was the first thing we tried! It came out perfect as we tried one jar a few months later. Second, we canned the beef stew as our second project and we are awaiting the testing. I can’t wait to try this out! We are truck drivers over the road so I cannot wait to try this on our hometime. I plan on making homemade chicken stock and want to test one jar before doing it in bulk. I couldn’t stomach risking losing all of the work ha.

[@mississippiapple1078]

The most comforting video ever

[@BennittJuniper]

Thanks, Carolyn, for this 'taste' of what you teach us. There is so much more on your Homesteading Family website. I am so grateful to have a life membership. The recipes, the teaching, the policies, following FDA guidelines; it's worth every penny and more. Glad I joined. Now I can watch you on YT & get clips of a few more recipes for what you teach on your website is so much more than what YT can provide.

[@nancyplank1651]

Thank you Carolyn! Awesome video! Love all yours and Josh's wonderful teaching and sharing. God Bless you and your family!!

Carolyn, I just finished my batch of this and will be using one of the jars for dinner tonight. Watching your videos has changed my home life for the better! I'm feeling so much more confident pressure canning and making some space in my freezer (which is very full) ❤ I also just got my "All new Ball book of canning" and will pull some recipes from there as well! Huge thank you from Tennessee! God bless you and keep you and may His face shine upon you!

I literally said out loud, WOW! 😂At the dicing with the Breville food prossessor. So cool!

Gorgeous homestead you have created. We bought a nice acerage this yr and have plans to make it sustainable. With the state of the world it is imperative I think...hopefully there is time for us to create a sustainable life. I hate that money is vital to that kind of life and so many who dream of having that never will. As lucky as i am to have land...our only true armor for our souls is God. Stay blessed.

[@jo-annjewett198]

I love that you follow safe canning rules!!

[@VegardSven]

Hello Jo

[@gorgo4910]

The wine isn’t for acid, it’s for flavor. You could can that in straight water if you wanted to. It’s the pressure canner doing the preserving. Just look at recipes for canning chicken or any of those vegetables- same time, same pressure, no acid.

[@paulahawes8694]

I appreciate you making the meals and the suggestions. Can’t wait to try this. Thanks

[@patriciariddle2997]

I have a Breville but that was before they came out with the dicer. That is so awesome!

[@frugalmomofmany]

I think you can buy the peel and dice kit to add to yours as long as you have the 16 cup processor.

[@patriciariddle2997]

@@frugalmomofmany I think you might be right. I remember I would need some kind of adapter kit and I wasn't sure how well it would work. After seeing it in action I might take another look at it.

I can this often for a chicken pot pie filling.

I was just looking around for just such a recipe! I just got an amazing deal on boneless skinless chicken thighs and my freezer is stuffed to the top so I can’t afford to put them in there. I have everything else needed so these will be in the canner tomorrow and on my shelf the next day. Thank you so much

Just came across your channel. I am a pressure canner gal. Looking for deals on meats and veggies and get them asap in my pantry. I am looking forward to canning this recipe. I always change it from the books too. My husband and I are garlic FREEKS seriously I grew it at one time but never had enough lol lol Will try this recipe forsure. I just did 14 quarts of chicken pot pie. So this one is right up my ally. I keep bacon fat in my fridge at all times. I brown my stew meat etc... Now I put in my baking powder biscuits. S making some baking powder biscuit with your recipe is going to be just devine. ! Sorry folks who are grossed out by this but my mama always did this. We were hmmm very poor. Mama raised us 6 kids on her own and we never never went hungry. We utilized everything!! So appreciate your channel and look forward to viewing more recipes. Cheers Vancouver Canada

Hi Carolyn, I left you this comment on another video comments, it was too old video so will redo it here. First I love your videos and love what you and your family are doing. Keep up the good work, I am sure these videos are helping a lot that watch. I am a 75 year old woman and live in Western Arkansas. I have had some kind of garden since I was 3, and I have seriously been raising 90% of my family eat since I was 28. I bought my first freeze dryer in August. I have two points I feel is important about the freeze dryer and the freeze dried food. I love my freeze dryer, and I am thinking about getting a second one. Here is an important bit of information about these freeze dryers: I had a mess to clean up the first time I was freeze drying my pureed pumpkin: I had never knew and hadn't realized you should fill the trays two thirds full of semi-liquids or liquids because the pressure would cause the food to bubble over and make a mess to clean up. Here is my info that people need to know: Well I had one of these messes. While I was cleaning the tray box, I thought my little hands could slide inside those tray slots well like a big dummy I slid my hand in it. That was very bad Idea my hand slid inside and just like a razor sharp knife that edge of the tray holder slice a chunk of meat at the first knuckle: So people whatever you do do not attempt to stick your hand into those tray slots. We own an old farmhouse that is about 100 years old. Both of my pantries floors very unstable and I and feel as if they could give way to all of the weight. So I am going to take the canned goods out of the area that feels like the floors may collapse, and I am going to store the freeze dried foods there. The weight of the freeze dried is so much lighter weight than the canned food is. I am sold on these freeze dryers. It will be awhile before I can buy my next freeze dryer but I will buy a second one. Jessie from Arkansas

I'm looking forward to using the chicken broth I canned before harvest season began. It'll be neat to see how it comes out for me here. :D I do have a question for you though...Can I substitute the bulb onions for a bunch of spring onions in this recipe? :D God bless you and your wonderful family. Have an awesome day my fabulous friend! :D

[@mustwereallydothis]

If you want to make it a little more convenient to thicken canned dishes prior to serving, you can blend flour with butter in a food processor, portion it out, and freeze it. Then, all whoever reheats it needs to do is add one portion per jar to the pot and simmer it until thickened.
