[@1870s]

Oh my goodness what a phenomenal video! I think I just fell in love with my new favorite KZbinr ❤️ Subscribed and can't wait for more

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

RACHEL??!! Oh my word, I cannot believe it’s you! Of course, I’ve previously shared how much I’ve enjoyed your caning and gardening videos over the years! Thanks so much for the encouraging words!!

[@tristaperkins7112]

I think I heard her squeal from Maryland all the way down here in Tennessee on that one!

[@phyllis48]

You are a ray of sunshine to the canning world. Thanks, take care and God Bless.

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Wow, thank you--that's so sweet. I have learned so much from many of the original canning ladies here on youtube and its only warmed my heart to be able to share (and continue to learn) from so many other canning friends, like you! Thank you, Phyllis!

[@CosmopolitanCornbread]

Fantastic! Red/purple cabbage is one of my absolute favorite vegetables. Not only is it delicious, but I think it is the most beautiful veggie there is. And good gravy THAT BURGER!!! Excellent tip on the vinegars. Thank you for participating in the collab!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Thank you, Constance! I cannot tell you how much I appreciate you for thinking of me, and organizing a collab that gives folks so many wonderful canning ideas! And yes, I'm right there with you about purple cabbage being the most stunning veggie of them all :) Be careful with that burger--it'll put you plain on your back for a few hours after eating!

[@juliebrummett1567]

I just watched this with my 6 and 10 year old kids. They are so excited to help me with this recipe! They wanted to run to the kitchen to "make it right now" and were theorizing all the ways they could eat it later. 😁

[@justkim0357]

Oh girl!! When you crunched on that cabbage, I was hooked!!! Gotta try this for sure!!! Loved the video AND your personality!!!!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hi Laurie! Oh wow, your comment is too kind. Thanks fora appreciating my quirks and excitement when it comes to sharing how learning how to canned has truly been a game changer for me getting food on the table I can feel good about. Canning is the best kitchen skill I've learned and I'm happy to spread the word that it is NOT an outdated practice. I"ll see you around the channel, Laurie!

[@fotoejunkee6247]

Perfect time of year to get lots of cabbage.

[@MsCyndiloowho]

Crunchy Cabbage!!! Hallelulaj! Cassandra you rock! I have so enjoyed all your videos and everything I've learned from you. I to am turning my waiting room into a class room but need to get over my age issues. This receipe is a prizewinner!!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hello MsCyndiloowho! I'm so excited to hear you're turning your classroom in a waiting room. I also hear you about getting over your age issue, because I've felt the same way. I've spent the first part of my life following the traditional path of school, work, and chasing after a career, only to get the farm bug bit in my mid-30s. My husband still has to finish his Navy career so we won't be purchasing a property for quite some time. Now, I know its not "old" but I felt overwhelmed by all I would have to learn figuring out how I'm gonna "pull it off"-Here's what I know so far: 1. The peace and joy I get from canning and growing a small garden and living more simply has been the daily joy I need in the middle of the day to day grind. 2. Shifting my focus to the small joys I get really is the momentum that'll keep you going and 3. I've got to be at peace that my 'farm dream' will just look plain different and that's ok, because ultimately, I'm pursuing this life for me and my family. Focus on progress, not perfection and no matter what, keep "becoming a farm girl"!

[@TweetyBirdFan2010]

Love your videos!! That burger recipe is outstanding with the Red Pickled Cabbage. So much Yumminess!!! Thank you for showing many ways to serve it. 🙂

Hi Linda! You've said it! This recipe is certainly worth a try! Thanks for saying hello!

[@kay.hthrkc9302]

This looks delicious!! Thanks for sharing so many examples of how to serve. I love your energy! The “crispy” is what I have not been able to achieve yet, so thank you!

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

Hi Kay! I'm so glad this is helpful for you. And, I hear you on the "crispy" part of cabbage. I'm going to copy and paste a few of the hints I shared on the blog post I created for this recipe about keeping cabbage crunch when you can it. Here it is: 1. Select only the freshest heads of cabbage for this recipe. The shorter time between picking and pickling, the crispier your cabbage will be. So, don’t use the ‘reduced for quick sale’ cabbages at the market, or older ones you’ve been storing if you want a quality result. 2. A safe option for firming cabbage is to use Pickle Crisp, a product containing calcium chloride. This ingredient is pure and does not contain any added salt, sugar or preservatives. 3. Make sure your cabbage heads are cold before starting. This helps expel a good chunk of excess moisture that’s hidden in the cabbage that would otherwise result in a soggy slaw. 4. Consider steam canning (approved by the USDA as of 2015), instead of water bath canning. Many canners feel that their pickles and cabbage are crispier when the jars are not stewing in increasingly hotter temperatures as the water comes to a boil. 5. Don’t skip (or skimp) on the pickling or canning salt in this recipe. Salt is what will preserve the cabbages distinctive crunch, because it draws out the water through osmosis. If you have the time, keep the cabbage in a salt soak for a full 24 hours in the fridge. Hope this helps!

[@gracemoore5134]

Wow, you really took this to the next level! Thank you for sharing all the recipe ideas and answering all the questions before I could ask!

Hi Grace! Aww, I'm so glad to hear this video was helpful!!

[@emilystevens7837]

[@BecomingaFarmGirl]

It truly is possible! You want to start with the freshest head of cabbage, make sure its cold, and use pickle fresh! You’ll keep a satisfying crunch for up to a year!

[@farmlife43]
