How to Can Pumpkin

[@itslowtide4690]

Said many times by so many others, it sure is nice to see you around again :)

[@steakandeggscynthiar.7714]

I am so glad to see you do a canning video again. I miss that. I have canned for years but never canned pumpkin (I puree and freeze), but have canned sweet potatoes. I always learn something when you can. Hope to see more.

[@imstillworkin]

It's tough putting out canning videos because when everything is in season, it takes most of my time to can it all and doesn't leave much time for editing. I'm sitting on several canning videos that I haven't had time to edit. Hopefully I'll get to it soon.

[@steakandeggscynthiar.7714]

@@imstillworkin I understand. When my garden is coming in I am to tired to do anything else after canning.

[@PrepperPotpourri]

Excellent instruction (as always). Thank you!

[@Audrey-km9in]

So thankful to have found you today! I have learned a great deal from you - heating jars in the water bath canner is a great tip! I will be canning pumpkin - the price in my area is $3.98 for a large can of pumpkin. Thank you for the fabulous instructions - clear & concise. All the best to you!

[@FosterChicken]

This is perfect timing for me as I am about to can pumpkin for the first time. I have been canning for years now and I learned a lot from YOU. You taught me how to can a lot of things. Nothing like looking over someone's shoulder to learn something new. Thanks so much for the videos. I'm so glad you are back to it too. I missed you!

[@HOMESTEAD_AUS]

Just love it💕 I’ve been subscribed to you and MHP gardener well before you were both together here in Australia. You’ve helps...both us so much over the years! $6.99 your Libby’s canned pumpkin here. I nearly started saying ‘I hope it helps’ by accident when I made a video last week!!! That’s how much I’ve watched you!!

[@imstillworkin]

I just subscribed and look forward to your videos. I'd fall over dead if I had to pay $6.99 for a can of pumpkin. I guess canning makes a whole lot of sense down under.

[@jeannemiller306]

just subbed your channel

[@theresabollman8061]

Of course it helps, Susan! You make sure we know all the important safety info and you are so patient. Thanks for sharing! xoxT

[@TheAmusingMe]

Wonderful video! Thank you so much for taking the time to make this for us all to see. You're very generous and I appreciate what you do

[@TheCajuntransplant]

I just can't understand why Hollywood hasn't snatched you up for your own television show. You give the best and simplest how to video's on youtube. Shoot straight from the hip. Love you girl.

[@imstillworkin]

Because folks would rather watch a 30 minute video showing groceries someone bought rather than a 10 minute video showing someone making their own groceries. Sad but true.

[@TheCajuntransplant]

This was awesome! I love how thorough you are, thank you :)

[@thymetosow4972]

Detailed and informative video that was much needed right now. Thank you! Loved those talking pumpkins. They were absolutely adorable!

[@imstillworkin]

Those pumpkins were the cutest things. They not only told jokes, they sang too, lol.

[@lolajane1452]

This was very detailed and informative. You have inspired me into wanting to can pumpkin. :) Thank you so much!

[@isabelladavis1363]

Thanking you for this great video this year pumpkin cans were 250 which I couldn’t believe so needless to say I’m following your prep for maki g my own …thanking u so much for your time and energy putting this together..stay blessed

[@FurikuriYugi]

Thank you for making these videos. You answer questions I can't ask my granny.

[@imstillworkin]

Happy to help.

[@kcnms6564]

I bought 4 pumpkins at Walmart for $.25 each!! Had to search on here to see if you had a canning video because I love your canning videos best!!! Thanks again for all you teach the You Tube community!!!!

[@gmax758]

Very clear instructions. Thank you!

[@teamgibber]

Been scouring the internet for good instructions about canning, this was awesome! Thanks for the great info! My search is complete. :)

[@chrisbgarrett]

Love you and your husband. Thanks for all the videos

[@katywrightgallery6523]

It's so good to see you, and you look so happy! ♡♡

[@ImASurvivorNThriver]

Great instruction!!! Thanks for sharing.

[@Brenda0312F]

Loved your video! Thank you for sharing it. ❤️

[@darla3021]

Those were some talented pumpkins!! Never seen that variety! 😂🤣😂 Thanks for sharing your pumpkin canning video...I've done squash cubes, but now I'd like to try pumpkin also.

[@imstillworkin]

The grouchy one made some mighty tasty bread, lol.

[@cheekysaver]

First canning the pumpkin vids... now I hope there will be vids on using that canned pumpkin. :) BTW I love that you include the value of canning. I keep seeing vids of people paying more to have home canned food than to buy it precanned from the store. That is crazy talk when it comes to budgets.

[@imstillworkin]

I agree about taking the economics of home canning into consideration. It's not always wise to can your own. I canned tomato paste this summer and filmed it to illustrate that point. (Several folks have requested that video over the years). Hopefully I'll find time to edit that video soon.

[@kristid9127]

Beautiful job!! Thanks so much for teaching us how to can !!

[@ProvidingResources]

Thank you for this excellent video. I am working on my 2022 garden plan. I wanted to understand how much I could can if I put 6 pumpkin seeds in the ground and got 3 fruits per seed/vine. I would have a lot of pumpkin to can. Your detailed canning instructions are wonderful. New fan of the channel. Continued blessings in all you do! 💖💖

[@sandrarichardson2713]

Every time I think I'll have time to catch my breath before something else comes in season for me to learn to can, I see something else that is in the grocery store ads that is typical for the time of year. That didn't make much sense but I realize this canning thing is 24/7/365. LOL! I think I'll probably kill myself having fun canning. But then the thought came to me that each time I can, I will not have to do EVERYTHING every year. Once I get a base of food canned, I can replenish as stores are somewhat depleted. As always, you teach us well. Thank you and Jesus bless.

[@J_LOVES_ME]

Thank you for this - everyone says you have to use the pie pumpkins but I have 2 halloween pumpkin types that I didn't want to go to waste.

[@jillcaldwell4519]

Thank you, Great explanation. I have the ball canning book, but sometimes its hard to understand. I love your video...thanks.

[@nansfam8534]

Fabulous video!!! Sure did help. Let me take it one step further! Besides pumpkin pie. Anyone out there who would love to share a fresh pumpkin bread or other recipe, I sure would appreciate it! I would hate to can all this pumpkin and not know what to do with it! Lol Awesome video, thank you!!!

[@HerHealthyHome]

If you're still looking I have a pumpkin playlist with 2 other ladies.

[@SugarBeeFarm]

Another great video. Thanks 💕✌️🌱

[@imstillworkin]

Thank you!

[@cindyebner5556]

Thank you! You explained things so well!!! This will be my first time that I will be canning pumpkin. The water is really bad where I live so is it ok to put distilled water in the jars?

[@DiscoveryWonders]

so interesting how it is done in USA. in Europe we don't even have pressure canners.we just pour boiling hot water not 95C, not 98C but really boiling100C, and flip the jars upside down...called inversion canning. and the lids are boiled hot and 1 piece solid not 2 piece.

[@judithstorck5195]

Thank you. This does help a lot. Judi

[@ljmike5519]

I'm so excited to see you back.

[@marygallagher3428]

It's great to see that you're posting videos again :-)

[@hurdman7899]

Great money saving tip at the end.

[@lizf4717]

Going to try this with my pumpkin instead of throwing it away thank you.

[@imstillworkin]

When you think about all of the things that are made with pumpkin these days, it's easy to justify canning a lot of it.

[@kathymorris12312]

Thank you, Great video! Pumpkins are healthy. Won't be around much longer this season. I will try this and let you know.

[@kbailh01]

Have you ever tried canning neck pumpkins? Here in South Central PA, Amish country, we really like those for pies and breads. Lots of solid pumpkin flesh and a beautiful orange color.

[@imstillworkin]

I've never heard of neck pumpkins. I'll be sure to look that up!

[@chrisb5391]

Great video. Thanks for sharting

[@teamgibber]

Sharting.... HAHAHAHA!!! That's a funny typo.

[@sandrajones7896]

Thank you for this video. I’m going to can pumpkin now.

[@onlybev1]

Great video Susan. I like to just dehydrate mine since I only use it for Pumpkin pie.

[@imstillworkin]

We have a lot of pumpkins around here. I just might end up dehydrating some myself.

[@colleenrobison4070]

Beautiful product!!

[@imstillworkin]

Thank you!

[@lloydwagoner5511]

Some KZbin channels get millions of dollars. If I could tell KZbin who to pay... it would be you. Please video making a pie with your canned pumpkins. I’m sure Bobby will agree! 😉 You can end the video with his reaction and smile. Some people say it does not make good pies, that you should use other types of winter squash for flavor.

[@imstillworkin]

I'm sorry to tell you that my videos don't make enough money to pay the internet bill, not even close. I'll put pumpkin pie on my to do list and if you use squash for pumpkin pie, it ain't pumpkin pie anymore, lol.

[@BonnieBlue2A]

Great tips, thank you. Unfortunately all the pumpkins are sold in my part of the county. This incentivized me to plant a pumpkin patch next year.

[@imstillworkin]

Good luck with the pumpkins next year.

[@marthaleone584]

Thank you 😊 👏👏!

[@YolklahomaRocks]

We grow our own pumpkins. This is exactly how I canned mine. You should a video on making a pumpkin pie using yours. I haven't made one from ours yet. A lot of people say it's real watery even after draining it.

[@imstillworkin]

I've put the pie on my to do list. The pumpkin isn't necessarily watery, it just isn't thick as mud like store bought.

[@YolklahomaRocks]

@@imstillworkin ❤👍😊

[@lorisilva10784]

Thank you for the informative video!! Going to Wal-Mart!! Fresh is best!

great canning vid- blessings///Glo

[@jdsnc1]

Since I do not have a pressure cooker, can you process pumpkin in traditional way?

[@imstillworkin]

Sorry, you can only pressure can pumpkin. If I didn't have a pressure canner, I'd bake the pumpkin, scrape out the cooked pulp and freeze it.

[@jeannemiller306]

looks very pretty

[@paulat5921]

Thank you.

[@carolinabeth5173]

Very informative video. Ty! 😘

[@CocoNaty]

Super helpful thank you!

[@oncebefore3671]

do you have a suggestion which brand ladle to purchase --- do silicone coated work as well or stainless steel as you use --- soooo many to choose from --- what volume works best ? -- 2 oz - 4 oz - 6 oz ---- i have such limited space to buy multiple sizes ---- you have some of the best videos on youtube --- it is enjoyable when you publish a new one

[@susandoty5532]

Do you have a pumpkin pie recipe to use after you can the chunks? How do you do it? Thanks

[@citylotgardening6171]

Great video thanks for sharing

[@Larry342516]

Thank you for the video. Could you tell me what type of green bean that you like the most? Thanks again.

[@imstillworkin]

A variety called "Strike". They are stringless, produce like mad and taste great. I think Bobby has a video on his channel about those green beans.

[@rapunzeleh546]

i peel them, steam them, mash them, then schmush it on teflon trays and dehydrate it.... after it's all crunchy, whiz it up in the blender and store in a jar. it's 1 part pumpkin to 4 parts boiling water, although i do give it a bit of a blend with a stick blender just to make sure there aren't any little bits..

[@timschlesner2446]

Big difference in flavor

[@nolansd.i.y6402]

How do you can home made pumpkin puree? Is it the same?

[@IBeLieveInChrist07]

What would be the shelf live of the pumpkin after it’s canned?

[@oscarsaenz7967]

I'm wanting t I can pumpkins so quick question can you can apple butter or is it safer to do the cubed and how long do they last in the pantry

[@imstillworkin]

It is okay to can apple butter because apples are acidic. It is recommended to can only as much as you can use within a year.

[@lorisilva10784]

Quick question...in my shopping for a regular pumpkin, I'm seeing stickers on them saying: Not intended for consumption. Should I ignore that or look elsewhere? Thank you!!!

[@imstillworkin]

I think I would skip those pumpkins.

[@monikaj3296]

Could I use like a vinegar water wash?

[@Brenda0312F]

I love the smell of raw pumpkin....I wish I could smell it.

[@BornRandy62]

if you make pumpkin soup from it you dont need to drain before adding to the cook pot.

[@imstillworkin]

I've never had pumpkin soup. I'll have to give that a try.

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

Why wouldn't you can a pumpkin if the skin isn't hard? I have used them although I haven't canned them just frozen or dried.

[@imstillworkin]

If you can sink your fingernail into the skin, the pumpkin isn't fully ripe.

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

@@imstillworkin I have found they are ripe they just won't keep in a root cellar. But you need to do it your way. You are safer that way.

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

@@imstillworkin I realized I worded that wrong. I knew you had to have a hard shell to keep pumpkins in a cellar for a long time but I didn't think it had anything to do with being ripe. The ones I put in the freezer were ripe and some of them were a bit soft. I knew if I left them they would be rotten. I am glad you showed me how to can pumpkin! I had read where you couldn't can pumpkin puree so I just freeze it or dry it. It is good to know about canning. I like that I can use it without have to to thaw or reconstitute.
