Such a kind and considerate suggestion for seniors to dehydrate. It is more safe and less overwhelming and one can take out only what is needed rather than opening a full jar of something which may take a while to use up.

Last year my son sold his rental condo. The people left 2 cases of brand new pint canning jars. My son gave me one case and he took the other. I was so excited. It amazes me what jars people throw away. I keep all of my glass jars. Also when I first got married, 48 years ago, I took a glass Aunt Jemina syrup jar and used dripping candles in different colors to cover it. I still have that jar. Have a great day and save those jars.

Tessie great tip on using those Starbucks bottles that is great to store syrup in and good tip on freezing the ones that didn't seal. I seam to recall that video you did on that a while ago. What a great idea Tessie you come up with the best ideas I've yet to see anywhere else. Not many video's on canning with jars as much as you do. Your a true pioneer in this field. So happy you were able to pressure can using my jelly jars and I have many more of them as well as other types of jars. I've saved so many of them. I use them for storage of lots of things. Some I have even hung from the ceiling, screwing in the tops to the beam in the basement and then screwing the glass jar. My grandmother had those jars hanging from the beams in her basement filled with all kinds of things. I wanted to duplicate that. I look forward to your video's on dehydrating and pressure canning that is something I want to get into doing more of. That's so nice of Ellen Fisher to teach you that method of vacuum sealing I'm going to check out that vacuum sealer looks to be very easy to use and I want to start sealing up in jars."

Nice vid.Tessie. Reusing and repurposing anything is a good thing. I too save jars. Just love them. If I have a small amount of sauce leftover I put it in a jar and freeze it.

Being from England...yes, this is our traditional way of jam making and bottling. We reuse jam jars and bottles. (Replacement lids are pennies if really wonky.) "Canning" here is rare and very expensive. Regardless of the US strict Rules Of Canning, we potter along Tessie style. Some oldies even put cellophane lids fixed with rubber bands on jam. So nice to see some common sense in frugal preserving.

If you can your own you know what you are eating. Dehydrating is wonderful because you can pack lots of food in a small space, it's light and needs no refrigeration because its dry. You can seal the container also with an oxygen absorber if it doesn't fit in a canister or the attachment for jars dont work. Just think the envelopes of mashed potatoes in the store are dehydrated.

I’ve been canning with antique glass lids (not the bail jars - but I’ll do those soon). These glass lids use rubber rings no longer made (they’re an odd size) so I had to buy antique rubber rings. The amazing thing is the rubber rings weren’t cracking & they still flexed. I soaked them in mineral oil & now they’re like new. I was so excited the first time I canned with them. I never knew they (Ball, Atlas, Presto) made glass lids - every bit as snazzy as Weck! I had to find directions on what to do in the vintage Ball Blue Books. - you would like those books. I’m watching this video to give me inspiration to can with my Classico spaghetti sauce jars (& lids). I’ve read that the Classico jars are true mason jars, according to Classico.

I do that with my dry goods as well I absolutely love sealing them over and over. Today I made a yeast bread with a bottle of yeast that I opened .....it has to be probably two or three years ago. I always proof my yeast and it is always very active but I think that's because I've resealed the jar every single time! I bought a jar of yeast online and I did not realize how much yeast came in this jar and the bread recipe I use uses so much less yeast then many traditional recipes so this jar has lasted me literally years. Proper storage of food preserves its freshness which is way more economical Than People realize

Tessie your video is so informative and believe me you have taken the fear out of canning food for me. I was always so timid incase I spoiled the food or made us ill. Thank you for simplifying the process where you feel so comfortable doing it. One method of preserving I am familiar too is canning using "salt." Packing onions and salt in a jar is so easy. No electricity required. It is a very old maritime way of preserving food in the old days. Where I live the older women still use this method. People are afraid they intake too much salt but not really a concern as you wash off the salt before use and you do not have to add anymore salt at the dinner table. Great in soups and casseroles. .. I wash the larger pieces off and eat them just as they are. I just love onions. "Happy Canning! :) Love & Hugs sent your way!

This is a truly great community " Where Friends Are Made " really hold true. I am truly blessed to have you all in my life. Today is a rainy day I was blessed to have a nice sunny day and I was out side for much of it getting the recyclables and trash ready for todays pick up. I had a special Birthday dinner, Meat lasagna and apple crisp pie for dessert topped with rum raisin ice cream. Mom presented me with a nice Birthday card and in it was 100 dollars for me to spend it on what ever I wanted or needed. I will use that 100 dollars wisely it will go a long way. Now as an update on my mom's new pc she still does not have it yet. The staples tech called and said that he was still having trouble installing a virus shield as it was downloading from a site. So today we will go back and see if it is done. Never had this kind of problem before. Oh well we will see today. What are your plans for the day. Have a wonderful Tuesday be blessed :) Keep smiling :)

I'm so happy to see you discussing the old ways -- my late Mummu (Finnish for Nana) always used paraffin. I think you're just terrific Tessie!

thank you ,I get much flack from these videos But it is how I do things ,and you never know what if we could not buy things we are used to , these are things people need to learn !!

[@teresaroman3348]

Tessie, what a great way to check your jars...can them with water in them...yeah for you...I for sure will be using this method to check questionable jars!

[@HomesteadTessie]

I get much flack and some get very upset over such videos ,But there is other ways to do things ,and even though it may not be proper in today's standards,It has stood the test of time and works amazing !! one needs to have common sense ,and to experiment ,so far I am having no issues and it works great !

[@Blueberry1221]

Tightwad Tess! I love it, made me laugh. You are such a joy! I have been saving my glass jars that will seal with the button. Looking forward to more of your dehydrating videos. :-)

Homestead Tessie Survival Mobile Home Living these are the things we need to know. My mum told me all of this when I was brought up in Northern Ireland . She lived through the Second World War and told me that so much food was wasted because of use by and best before dates. She said that you could smell and see what was ok. My worry is the heat in Texas. I am new here.

that mini electric air pump would be a money saving component of a multi jar vaccum sealer rack slot system to keep fresh dried spices as potent and in as small containers as possible

Great video Tessie 🌷 The Starbucks bottle idea was so unique. Thanks Tessie 💟

A subscriber said to turn it upside down and it will seal every time ! I am going to try that on next project !

[@lifewithpatti9531]

My mom and I canned so much food in the 70's, 80's and 90's. I think I might start canning again. Great. Idea Tessie. I made some individual pineapple upside down cakes today on my channel. They were s yummy.

[@janicesosh8643]

You teach me so much, Tessie. Thank you!

[@marthaadams8326]

Tessie, I just got Rehydration Calculations Made Easy - It is Great for anyone out there looking for something like this. I never knew how much how long, etc. This book is so clear and tells you everything you need to know. I have other rehydration books, but mostly they are recipes. This really helps and no headaches. WooHoo.

Martha can you share it and share with us how to get it too !

Great share especially the hard with buttons and resealing.

[@mysoutherngardeningjourney]

Dehydrating preserves more nutrients than canning, and you don't have to risk burning yourself! Great idea to repurpose jars. I've ended up recycling a bunch of glass jars that I realized I wasn't going to use, b/c I'd saved too many! Ditto with plastic containers.

[@cindyhamlin5556]

Your are so wonderful. How you come up with all these canning ideas. Love you tessie.

[@lindavanord5606]
