Thanks!

[@AmieSue9999]

I can't thank you enough for showing us the end result. I love watching canning videos, but you always see the end product of the jars just coming out of the canner. You never hear about what to expect with the texture or how it looks after it sits. So, thank you again. :) Happy Thanksgiving!

[@SuttonsDaze]

Happy Thanksgiving!

[@Cordelia0704p]

This is like the best easy lunch ever. Drain, warm em up, toss with butter and salt. Perfect.

[@pauletterichards4755]

I love to fix fried sweet potatoes they are so good

[@heathermoore2152]

My recipe (NCHFP) said to blanch then peel. I assumed that was to only assist in removing the peel, also blanching them in pieces for 15 minutes would make them softer than blanching a whole potato for the same time. I personally didn't find them hard to peel raw....but that just me.

[@nysavannah28]

Just dug up 54 pounds of sweet potatoes 🍠 zone 9b/10a so excited to try these.... Can’t thank you enough for all the knowledge you provide in these pressure canning videos.

[@SuttonsDaze]

Oooh what a harvest!! Congrats!

[@cindys.w.8566]

Make sure to cure those before caning, but I'm sure you know that, nice harvest!

[@robinbass3133]

How to cure? And would you use the hot water that you blanched? Any nutritional value there? Thanks 😀

I love sweet potatoes and I have a bunch in storage. I need to stop watching KZbin and get busy canning those potatoes! They really are wonderful to have on the shelf. Thanks for reminding me I need to get busy!😊

[@dalegaa4094]

I dehydrated, after steam blanching, some sweet potatoes for the first time recently. To cook them I just dropped the slices into boiling water. They turned out just like if I'd cooked them from raw potatoes. Yummy, so easy and saved space. I will try finishing them in the brown sugar glaze next time.

[@deedeemooreco.2304]

I’m canning about 25 pounds of butternut squash this weekend, and I can them exactly like this, and sweet potatoes. I use a very light syrup of 10-1 water and brown sugar. We had a horrible crop of sweet potatoes this year, so I had to buy some, and 50 pounds of gold potatoes. But my butternut, and other squash like acorn, did excellent. I can’t wait for butternut soup this winter. I know you did this a year ago, but knowledge is timeless. Thank you, Leisa. (My next endeavor will be canning seasoned green beans and potatoes together, small batch. It’s not “approved” but the end product is great.)

Looks amazing . I also like to mash them up with butter and a well betten egg, some cinnamon , ginger , and brown sugar . Fry them like a potato cake .. gently turn them to brown both side . Serve sliced ham and some green beans.. heaven

I've been waiting for a good deal on sweet potatoes so I can do this! I love sweet potatoes and broccoli drizzled with sriracha. And yes, you're right...sweet potatoes end up soft regardless of how they're cooked. Having them on the shelf ready to eat really is a great prep. I used my Forjar lids for the first time this week. I bought the 1000 pack. I don't play around. 🤣🤣They're awesome!

[@sandys.1891]

TY for showing how to prepare canned sweet potatoes. They hold so much liquid I couldn't figure out what to do w/them. Another YT showed how she hung up the sweet potatoes in cheesecloth and let it drain all the excess water off. Then she prepared them as usual in the oven. That helped too. There are so many of us who are new to canning that it helps to see how to actually use your canned pantry at mealtime.

[@cm9743]

Really wonderful! Thank you. I had to can up all my onions today too. My entire crop started going soft, so I got to work and ended up with 26 jars of onions. They turned out so nice, that I may just can next years crop as well!!!

[@denisewilson8367]

We dug up sixty pounds of sweet potatoes from our 2022 garden. They still look pretty good in the basement, but some are really big, and some really small. I'm working them up today to can and put on the shelf, and keeping out all the baking sized ones for me (hubby doesn't like sweet potatoes 🙄🤔. I'm wishing I had canned up my white potatoes because they were pretty small, and now they are all ready to plant!

I may have to can some. We love sweet potatoes. I usually cut mine into chunks, mix with coconut oil and cinnamon, then bake at 350 until soft.

[@Jonni8]

I made these after watching, they looked great until I washed the jars, lol. I think I shook the jars too much. Some fell apart and became mushy in the jar. They don't look that appetizing but I'm still going to eat them, lesson learned.

[@DogMom159]

Thank you soo much Leisa! I think I have enough to make 7 qts but was hesitant to get started because I read the directions and really didn’t want to boil with the skins on and peel. Ouch! Your video came at just the right time! Thank you so much for all you do!!!! Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

I did put them in a casserol dish with the brown sugar and marshmallows for my Thanksgiving dinner. Well, everyone said they were good.
