I'm Elissa and on this channel you will see my homesteading life.
I show you how to be more self sustainable & homestead in a small space.
You'll see how to grow organic food, use and preserve the harvest, raise backyard poultry, both Muscovy ducks and Chickens as well as breeding Mealworms and Crickets.
You will learn how to make natural remedies, get more prepared for emergency situations, how to organise the homestead, money saving ideas and how to live with less waste.
Here at Moat Cottage, we raise and grow and process some of our own free range meat, organic vegetables and fruit.
We grow all of our herbs for both eating and medicinal purposes as well as hunt, fish and forage.
We preserve our produce for the year ahead by canning, dehydrating and freezing and we work on being prepared for emergency situations.
We live using less waste, we recycle and upcycle and love finding what is needed for a project at the scrap yard, op shop or a garage sale, but only buy what is really needed.
We don't like plastic, chemicals and artificial fragrances and are trying to live an older style life balanced with this modern world lifestyle.
Good health and natural living has always been a high priority for our family and despite this two family members are living with auto immune diseases, myself included.
We focus on what we can do, when we can do it, stay positive and so I make these videos for you on my best days.
Much Love
Elissa Jayne

Elegant woman! Thank you! I bought a canner this week. I have not used it get because I found bugs in my flour and now I am knee deep in checking my flours sugars grains etc. what a pain.

[@MoatCottage]

Row Deo CONGRATULATIONS on your new Canner, so exciting. I hope you were able to sort out your dry goods so you can focus on some canning. Stick your dry goods in a sealed bag, when you get them and put them in the freezer for a day or two. This will prevent the eggs (that are in the goods) to die and not hatch out. Happy canning 😊

[@Jenny-yb1jp]

[@Jenny-yb1jp]

Moat Cottage Homesteading, good morning Moat Cottage, I’m sorry it’s taken me this long to reply...I have canned everything and anything that stands in my way, the joke around here , OH LORD she brought Conchita (AKA CANNER) open to play we better stay out of her way or we’ll get canned too! I gave my canner a name it’s only fare don’t you think? Have a blessed day and thank you for putting out videos to help us all!

[@Noahsoak]

Jenny Garcia I'm being told to have the gauge tested before I use it period and its brand new. Did anyone else do that?

[@hootowlholler3760]

Well done, Elissa! You will get those jar sizes down in no time at all. Presto should have a conversion chart included. I hope those people who've bought canners (but are afraid to use them) will see this video & be less intimidated. 😊

[@MoatCottage]

HootOwl Holler thanks Hoot, I sure hope so. More people preserving food means more food on the shelves. I’ve never even seen canned chicken in the shops over here so this is another reason to can 😀

[@michellerhodes5477]

I've been water bath canning for a little while and finally feel comfortable enough to pull out my Presto pressure canner to can some chicken and chicken stock. This video gave me really good info. I read the little book it came with but I'm a visual learner and seeing it helped me grasp what I read. So thank you! We've been prepping for several years but until recently we lived in a very small house with a bathroom sized kitchen where I didn't have much room for preps or to can. Now that we have land and I have a nice sized kitchen and huge cool and dry basement, I'm learning all the things. Gardening and canning are my current favorites so I can add to our food storage with home canned food vs just having the store bought food we have now. I'm sure my family will appreciate having home canned chicken and beef to add to the hundreds if not thousands of pounds of rice and beans we have. 😂

[@kevinrehberg8758]

If I may suggest..the gelatin in the broth "breaks" (loses its jiggly condition)under high heat like pressure canning..That is why you can't find chicken broth prepackaged and shelf stable jiggly, and if you've canned broth its always liquid y.. When I can chicken dark meat I cook up 20lbs of chicken quarters at a time for several hours at a simmer until the chicken has cooked up to the required temperature, de-bone the meat setting it aside, and toss the bones and skin back into the stock pot with the added veggies to simmer another 12 hours staying just under 212 degrees F.. Strain and remove the fat, set enough off to the side to use as a broth for the canned chicken/soup... can some, and freeze the rest..The frozen broth is fabulous, but should be used for pressure cooking since it never was cooked up to the required 240 degrees as did the chicken and canned chicken broth to kill all the bacteria and botulism spores if any present

Just the video I was looking for! Thank you Elissa. I've had my Presto 23qt for over a year and not taken it out of the box. I am originally from Gippsland, Vic. I have been living in the States for over 20 years. I take the fact that your video popped up for me to learn from to be a good omen!

[@carolavant3778]

I know a lot of people like the Presto canners, but I love the All American Canner. These canners are heavy cast aluminum and have no sealing ring - You just lightly oil the canner and lid. The All American Canner is a real workhorse. My aunt had one that was purchased before I was born (I'm 65!), and one of her granddaughters is still using it today!

[@MoatCottage]

Hello Carol Avant, I would have loved the All American canner, I’ve only heard good things about it, however the Presto cost $215au and I still had to buy all of my jars and other equipment and all this before I’d even tried eating canned food let alone canned. The All American was just out of my price range at this time, but I love that it doesn’t have the sealing ring. Does the All American have any perishable parts at all, like small gaskets or seals around the dial gauge?

[@halfheartedhomestead1909]

@@MoatCottage The All American was out of my price range as well. It is my understanding that it does not have any parts that need replacement.

[@MoatCottage]

Goobeek being scared before you start canning is very sensible, but if you follow the rules, look after your canner and keep an eye on it when canning, you’ll be fine. Make sure you have a Ball Blue book and read it. I underlined the key canning steps and wrote the PSI requirement for my altitude, as well as the venting time, time to can the food I’m canning, for the size jars etc so It was all set out step by step and I didn’t miss anything. It gets easier and pleasantly addictive. 😆

Hi Misty, you are doing a great thing in getting educated. It is expensive to get started with canning, especially if you are not in the US, it is a lifestyle investment and in my opinion worth it, but it sure takes time to save up and be confident that it is the step you want to take.

does steam and water also pour out beneath the pressure gauge? Or should that stay dry?

No steam should come out of the bottom of the pressure gauge, the seal and washer should stop this from happening, Make sure the seal is in good condition and that it is located in the correct position.

Thank you for this video! I have just purchased a Presto canner and am finding your channel to be very helpful. It's lovely hearing a fellow Aussie voice on KZbin! Where can we get the gauge checked here in Australia? Thanks.

[@MoatCottage]

Hi Tricia, congratulations on your new canner and welcome to the wonderful wold of pressure canning. I discuss gauge maintenance and care in this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/a17ZhWtreaiobdE thanks so much for your kind comment. Elissa

21 litre / 23 quarts pressure canner (it would fit a lot of jars if it was a 23 gallon canner) Clearly I am new to the imperial language of measurements in pints, quarts and gallons.

I think we all knew exactly what you meant anyway, not to worry.

The Salmon are in the thick of their run on the Willapa river and it's time to put some up. This instructional bit was very well done, completely clear and helped me out. Thanks--

[@MoatCottage]

Hello Brian Skinner how did you go with your Salmon? It sounds wonderful to have access to wild salmon. I have canned salmon and it’s delicious. 😊

[@brianskinner5711]

@@MoatCottage Thank you for getting back to me. I've got 12 pints and twelve half pints in the pantry.There is a good 10 weeks of Late run Coho yet to make a showing so plenty of time for more. Do you have any suggestions so as to impart a bit of accent to Salmon? Today I went 20 miles to the coast and got my limit of 15 Pacific Razor Clams. I wonder how they might do canned? But truth be told, they are so sumptuous and tender and sweet when fresh I mostly gobble them up right away.

[@MoatCottage]

Brian Skinner how wonderful! As I have only canned fresh salmon from the shops, I haven’t experimented with adding flavours for canning, preferring to can the plain salmon and adding flavours, depending on the menu, at time of using the canned salmon. Pacific Razor Clams also sound wonderfully delicious and now I’m feeling the need to go fishing on the coast (a fair distance from here) 😀 Enjoy!

Sarah lou sorry to hear you are in the CFS journey too. I have a fold out bed I bring into the kitchen for canning, I can relax and keep watch at the same time, I just make sure I don’t fall asleep, it’s very helpful. I will do that video for you 😀
