My mother used to can blueberries (1960s) and we would eat most of them by pouring them over vanilla ice cream. It was great!

[@sweetee68]

I love it. You’re as busy as me. You’re fast, to the point, sweet and you show more. Bless you. Thank you very much. First time water bathing blue berries.

Your daughter singing in the background is so precious. I miss those days.

[@grammy279]

Followed your method a couple days ago, and they turned out good. I did up 20 jars (10lbs.). They are really good on ice cream. I didn’t use any sugar at all-and they were really good. If I have just some in a bowl, I add a little maple syrup. Also, probably would be good in a smoothie. I used Distilled water. Doing it again-I’d probably push them down in the jar more and add more berries before adding water, so I could get more in each jar. Happy to have those on my shelf for winter. Thank you for your method and showing how it’s done.

Thank you for the instructions. So easy and good. I have ran out of freezer room and did not want to loose any of my fruit.

[@nancyworsley5057]

The little singing in the background was so cute!!

[@sherrydavis5022]

Your an amazing woman. It wears me out to do 6 or 7 pints at a time. You really have it going on! 😮

[@barbarabell3366]

They look beautiful, but to keep them from continuing to cook in hot water, try straining then after the are blanched, just a thought. Love seeing your videos, your such an uplifting persknality. God Bless.❤

[@wretched17]

boil for 30 seconds and then put in jars with water. if filtered water then sugar syrup is optional clean rims with vinegar boil for 15 mins (adjust time limit per elevation standards) you know what to do when done

[@suzeq6682]

i just got some fresh blueberries and had no idea what to do with them all. THANK YOU so much. Going to can some tomorrow

[@donnaclarke7672]

I used dark berry juice - no sugar added - from Costco. Very cheap and easy to use. Enough for 7 pints of blueberries!

[@ruthodom593]

Another great video! Thanks for sharing! I know you’re super busy but maybe when things slow down in the fall you could do a tutorial video on canning the chicken broth. I know I would love to see how you do it. 😊.

[@ladycat661]

Sunshine singing so sweet like the blueberries Thanks for sharing God Bless

[@sharonmckee2403]

[@lisabooker6405]

Plum jam!!!!! You’ve just melted my entire being to mush!!!! I LOVE me some plums! TFS You all have a beautifully blessed day hun! ~Lisa

[@kathyklein5255]

I feel like a whole section in the beginning is missing. So you heat up the blueberries in either water or syrup? For how long? How much water or syrup?

[@StayGold711]

HI Kathy. There is a usda recommended recipe online... to get the exact process that is approved, Google "canning whole blueberries UGA" that's the center for home food preservation website that she actually tells you she got the recipe from.. which is the recommendation.

[@guzeppicurmi1166]

I really liked this video! With red berries I have to boil them for 30min too? Thanks 😊

[@DeepSouthHomestead]

Looking good girl awesome job.

[@nancycoy9510]

You are a hard worker!

[@Clouds457]

Hey Amanda, when you open the canned jars, how do you get the blueberry/water mixture thick enough for pie please?

[@monicawindle7335]

corn starch and some people use flour to thicken.

[@sweetee68]

Rock with it 😅😂✋🏾

[@scottishgold6595]

How do you keep birds away? I tried nets. Mo good.

[@eastergerman70]

thank you for this .

[@jeanweymier2572]

I'd like to take the blueberries I have out of my freezer and can them in pint jars. How long do I need to have them in the canner if they are frozen? I can add the boiling water to the hot jars before adding the blueberries but I think I still need to time them a little longer if they are frozen.

[@swanoto6314]

So you boil them and place them in glass jars, then boil the jars, right? How long can these stay preserved? Is there a way to keep them from popping?

[@HearthandDome]

I recommend that anyone who wants to can purchase a canning book so they know exactly how to process any food. Once processed properly, the lids will be suctioned down to the jar. It will only release or 'pop' if you pop it OR if something is wrong. ;) Thanks for watching!

[@Keiths1234]

You probably already have books on canning and stuff but the stuff that you're getting off the web do you have that stuff back up at home on books . I appreciate what you are doing but more important to take care of your family . The KZbin that you do put out are very high quality and that you are right on and I really appreciate it and thank you for inspiring me to work more. God bless you

[@HearthandDome]

Yes. I'll have to do a video on my canning journal one day! ;)

[@Keiths1234]

Freedom Acres looking forward to it it's a great way to start a book 2

[@mootar1]

Great video! Thank you! Please show canning green beans!❤️😎

[@debralynnbailey6527]

Thanks I wish my two girls would can 🌷

[@brenda8877]

Can you use frozen blueberry's ty

[@americaneden3090]

Would u maybe do a video on ur Burkey? Or maybe just answer a simple question: Do u have the plastic pour spout or glass? I'm researching Burkey and very curious about getting one.

[@HearthandDome]

Mine is stainless steel. I purchased it from Amazon. ;) It's the best homestead purchase I have ever purchased.

[@denisec8914]

I have a burkey I've been using for over a year. I love it. It got to where the filters didn't let water through as quickly and my son reminded me that about every 6 months it helps to scrub the filters with a clean nylon brush and rinse well. This keeps them working for years. Hope this is helpful.

[@marlabaldwin7011]

Good video. You're amazing!

[@dinasalazar1552]

My were dry in the top,so many went bad white and moldy growth. How can they be submerge . Help please I do not want to add sugar.

[@carolynmoody9460]

BLESSINGS ❤️ miss you

[@christiebetts4970]

Good morning looks good

[@hannahalexander7005]

Homestead Heart good ref

[@LaydeeLia]

A burkey (burckee?)... ? 57 Yrs old, and never heard of that in my life!

[@uhtredofuhtred87]

Please please help! I just followed your video and I am panicked! I did not add any lemon juice to this recipe. And I have many telling me my blueberries will be no good!. Can you give me a “from your own experience” assessment please? Lol I am in such a twist right now. Thank you so much! Be well!

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

Why do you boil them first? Can't you just put them in the jar and add your water and can them?

[@HearthandDome]

You CAN raw pack blueberries but you won't have near as many in the jar and the color won't hold up as long. Instructions for both methods can be found on the USDA website for food preservation. nchfp.uga.edu/

[@jamiecoffin8936]

well what do I do now? First timer here, I think I filled and processed 6 jars that I forgot to sterilize. Then when I took one batch of blueberry's out of the water bath they were leaking juice out of them. My daughter and I picked 20LBS today and she went home and I got stuck doing all the work. I am old and so tired. Is there anything I should do?

[@HearthandDome]

Not sure why the juice is leaking unless you over packed..? Did they seal? If so, I wouldn't worry about. Jars leak all the time, if they seal, no problem. Hope this helps! Sorry you got stuck with all the work!!

[@charmainemontgomery582]

Oh yum 😋

[@kirkout7366]

If you going to boil in jar for 10, why boil the first time?

[@gregorstraus]

I canned the blueberries this way but when I opened the jar, the beriies were soft and felt cooked :/ Is there a way to can them and that they remain the look and taste of fresh berries?

[@HearthandDome]

Great question! Canned berries will never be like fresh. The hot canner cooks them. We use our canned blueberries in baked goods, swirled in yogurt, and in desserts like cobbler. They aren't really good for snacking like fresh but you can use them in almost any other application. We actually prefer canned blueberries in muffins as opposed to fresh.. You can see that comparison in this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/q4PVdJeKrtZkick Hope that helps! Thanks for stopping by! :)

[@gregorstraus]

@@HearthandDome helped a lot! Thank you for your answer and your great videos! ;)

[@HearthandDome]

You're so welcome! I'm glad to help! :)

[@learning1991]

Can frozen blueberries be canned the same way?

[@HearthandDome]

I've never canned frozen blueberries so I am not sure.. You'll have to experiment and let me know. ;)

[@learning1991]

Thanks ! I'll try it and see!!

[@oklahomasunrise4050]

Did the frozen blueberries work?

[@jennylane9083]
