I Found My SOUL Sister | Let's Make SPICY Corn Relish

[@MakeitMake]

Rachel, there are no words to describe my thanks to you! I’m in tears. Happy ones. ❤️ Blessings

[@1870s]

Having just found you, the day I made this video, I had no idea what you had recently experienced. I'm so sorry, but would encourage you to read through the majority of these comments expressing their love for you. Please don't stop doing what you are doing. I've been through a very similar experience where I nearly lost all joy youtubing. If you ever want to talk please send me a DM and we can have some fun chatting and lifting each other up!!

[@mariaines4508]

Love your chanel. Kep those videos coming!

[@heathervoshall7395]

I found Make It Make a few weeks ago and binged watched all her videos. I feel awful that people are giving her such a hard time. She does a great job explaining its not an “approved” method and give the warning & disclaimers. If you don’t like what she says or does move on.I hope this community shows her some love so she will continue making videos.

[@jenbarbay9413]

Yes! Me too!

[@samanthahoffman4647]

I couldn't agree more!!

[@reneemeyers2503]

I agree! I look forward to all she shares!

[@janebo1068]

totally agree!!! i sure hope she see all the love from this!!!!

[@aswinthasteketee5771]

I thought the same, why are people so rude to other people. I felt so sorry for her.

[@ILurvMarmite]

I'm so glad you're supporting MakeItMake's channel. She's been a target for a lot of hate since she started her Amish canning series. I think she's wonderful too 😊

[@floraledet6973]

If she gets a lot of hate targets I will share a little secret with the world…ITS BECAUSE SHE LOVES THE LORD AND THE ENEMY SEES IT AND HATES IT!!! I call it my channel my rules BLOCK & DELETE 😁 God Bless

[@catherinejones6481]

I’m following her too, she’s so lovely.

[@donnamaxon3166]

I love her waterbath canning and I just started watching you because of her Thank you both❤

[@sherry1472]

I watch her as well. I am from the south and my great grandmother never had a pressure canner, so she preserved with boiling the jars for hours. As for my kitchen I do what I feel is right for what I am preserving. I am glad someone is speaking up for her with all of the canning bulling going on. I wish we could just be kind to one another and allow folks to make their own informed decisions.

[@sharonnorris5984]

Love MakeItMake. She cans vegetables the way I was taught by my mother. She never had a pressure canner and we canned everything in a water bath. We never added citric acid nor lemon juice to any of the veggies and no one ever got sick. If waterbath canning worked for 100 years before the USDA got involved why won't it work now?.

[@druemiller3111]

I watched her What's happening video and felt empathy for her. I recently opened and ate a pint of home smoked ham that I WATER BATH canned in 2012. Yes, 10 years ago. It tasted like it did the day I canned it as I recall. I'm still here. My kitchen, my rules. Maw never pressure canned anything. Always water bathed. Taught me how. Sometimes I do, sometimes I don't. I don't share the food I water bath, so I'm not endangering anyone. Love the Make it Make channel.

[@melissam450]

Make It Make is one of my new favorite channels. She’s such a sweet soul.

[@floraledet6973]

Is water bath no safe…whats the story behind that if I may ask? I see a lot of channels do that and I’ve heard of it throughout the years but didn’t know there was a difference other than one is faster in doing than the other? Probably too much to share in a message IF it’s possible im curious Thanks in advance

[@turnapage7417]

LOL...about 6 months ago, my neighbor gave me a pint jar of chicken that she had canned 6 1/2 years ago. I drained it and made chicken salad to use in a salad or sandwich for my Hubby. Now, keep in mind I make the same with fresh chicken and have been satisfied and so had my Hubby. He will remark sometime about food I prepare and sometime he doesn't. On this chicken salad, he said...I don't know what you did, but that is some of the best chicken salad you have made in a long time...go figure. So, having said that, do what you do and don't let others sway you with what you do. God Bless.

[@LauraMichelGreenRaven]

@@floraledet6973 In general, it is the type of food that is the difference. Certain food is safe to water bath while other types are safer to pressure can. It has to do with the acidity levels.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@floraledet6973 Water bath is not considered safe for canning low acid foods like meats and vegetables. Those are typically pressure canned because the botulism toxin grows in an oxygen-free environment. Botulism toxin can kill you. High acid foods like most fruits and pickles can be safely water bath canned.

[@heatherrue2655]

Thank you for showing your support for her. That poor girl was wrecked after the pearl clutchers came for her. I hope she continues.

[@laurastirling7487]

Rachel, I have been watching her too. Love her series on Amish Water-bath canning. I am too new to canning to water bath everything lol. So far I have done Ugly Chicken pressure canned and Bourbon Maple Pecan Pie filling that was water bath canned. Watching you and others helped me take the leap into canning. Took me 1.5 years to get here though. I bought everything needed and it sat in my closet until I said enough is enough and got busy. So, hot here so I am following your example of canning outside and that helps

[@rebeccagrimsley7260]

I have been watching her canning videos for a little while. She’s wonderful. I have been canning for almost 50 years and love getting new ideas for all you KZbin channels

[@annerogers6845]

First: I watch everything you post. So REAL! Your videos are wonderful! I’ve never failed with your advice, and at 72, I’m loving this adventure! Next: I already loved your channel, your personality, your teaching about canning and cooking. (Teacher-35 years, so I recognize your skill!) Finally: If I didn’t already love you, I would now that you supported Make it Make. I love her channel, have watched every video, and her attitude, like yours, is loving, sharing, and down to earth. You are both lovely!

[@kellyp6724]

I have followed her for a while. She is awesome!! That poor girl got so much flack from doing the Amish vids. It was heartbreaking because she worked so hard to gather as much info as possible from her neighbor/amish friend so she could share the knowledge. One of her latest video she explained how much the negatively hurt her and she was no longer going to do amish canning videos. I hope everyone will support her because she is an amazing human being. Btw, love all your videos😍

[@cristincarlisle7675]

Hollar Homestead had a really neat tool they used w a drill and it worked FAST!!! She used her '"scrapings" for creamed corn as you mentioned.

[@HeatherCooan]

YES! Make it Make is a great channel. She's so brave to be putting this info out there. She's taking a ton of heat for it.

[@deborahreed4057]

Hi Rachel, I've been listening to for a while and I love her straight forward info. I myself learned a lot from the Amish growing up near them in Lancaster back in the late 60's. I would love to go back in time and live like we did back then. So simple and God fearing people. But do watch that channel you will learn a lot.

[@christinaperez254]

She rocks!!! Love her! Her amish series has caused quite a fluster in the Rebel Canning world

[@cynthiafisher9907]

That’s funny! Why would rebel canners have a problem with it?

[@gpashh]

@@cynthiafisher9907 that's what I was going to say, she meant the "pearl clutchers" I have to believe. 😉

[@lindanorton5436]

Thanks for sharing the ‘Make It Make’ blog KZbin!! I just watched the Amish series and found it interesting. What an open friendly lady she is. Now, I’m going back to watch your canning potatoes video, Rachel. I don’t have a garden, but I can buy from the store when veggies are on sale and then can.

[@julimartin3312]

You, also, are one of my go-to gals for common sense food preservation ideas & recipes, as is Heather over at The Kneady Homesteader, Becky at Acre Homestead, Patara at Appalachia’s Homestead… hmmm… Homestead Heart ❤️☺️…Stacy at Off Grid with Doug and Stacy… Outdoors and Country Living… a few others also. I also just really enjoy hanging out with you all and watching, hearing what you are up to in your kitchens and on your homesteads.😁 It feels like we are part of a community of likeminded cooks and farmers.

[@renitameares3838]

I just recently found Make It Make and started watching her. I love the Amish inspired videos and “Rebel” canning. I have encouraged her since some are slamming her for doing these videos that aren’t government approved. Traditional, tried and true, years of proof mean more to me. I know she will LOVE your shout out.

[@wooby9898]

Yeah, she’s great been following her for a while now. I love her dedication to researching the old ways.

[@sister_num7516]

I'll check that channel out. I take a bunt pan & put point of ear in the center, then cut with electric knife. Soooo slick & can get close to cob for less waste on cob.

[@williamwoods8765]

Hello there

[@EricaHOnBlissStreet]

We moved to our home on about 1.5acres about a year ago- this gave us the opportunity to start growing our own food on a much larger scale. We are a family of 5 and this brings us such joy. I started watching your channel in the winter and now I look forward to all of your videos. I even save them for when I have time for a cup of coffee and chill. You guys just feel like home. Thank you so much for sharing your lives and home 💖 I’m learning so much!

[@matthewmaclellan]

I love your perspective on canning. I understand why you might mention feeling like a pariah in this video, but for me it's like a breath of fresh air to come over to your channel and not have to deal with those factions. I've been watching Make it Make too and love the content. I'm not sure if I'm ready to can in some of those ways, but it sure is nice to learn about.

[@Rej58]

I just love watching you, I’ve been canning since I was 18 and still love it, I’m now in my early sixties and still canning and preserving. I love your ideas and your calming voice. Thankyou

[@violetzugg5713]

I love her!!! Make it Make and 1870 Homestead are my ABSOLUTELY FAVORITES ❤️❤️🥰🥰 keep going😊😊😊

[@magnoliagrovehomestead8321]

Yes!! I found her channel a couple of weeks ago! I consider myself still newish to canning, but find myself asking why I can buy canned squash, and canned pasta in the stores, but not an approved method for home use. That's never made sense to me, so I'm really enjoying watching people who are knowledgeable and explain why it's not that serious to go against the grain sometimes!

[@johannefeldman1840]

Rose Red Homestead has a post about how much time to water batch at what elevation per the Amish way in today's world if that helps anyone be a "canning rebel" and I say this respectufully.

[@jenbarbay9413]

Agreed! I absolutely love her, her energy, and her videos. I hate that she’s gotten some backlash for her content, but I’m with you and she definitely inspires me the same way you do! Thank you for all you do and for promoting her channel!

[@BroqueCowgirlHomestead]

I can't do the apple cider vinegar. In anything. I have learned over the years that any recipe that calls for ACV can be substituted with regular white vinegar.

Oh this is lovely Rachel, I’ve been following her too. She is very sweet and very knowledgeable. I love her look into the Amish life.

[@teresecox4109]

Yes! I just recently subscribed to her channel too (Make it Make). She did a great video on Amish canning methods and did an excellent job explaining. She was also extremely respectful in how she went about the video. It was so interesting how the Amish person wasn’t even aware of the USDA guidelines at all. I subscribed after that first video, and have watched several since.

[@LittleBitOfSunshine4u]

I follow her too. Love her demeanor and the way she presents herself. Very humble, good hearted, beautiful person.

[@silverchickadee4130]

Found her earlier this summer. I love her Amish series and I commented on her video where she said she was pausing on them. I may not can using those methods, but I still appreciate the information. I really hope she continues them.

[@susanbradnick6053]

Oh my goodness I found her about a month ago and absolutely love her!!! I'm loving what I'm learning from her!! You and her combined gives me so much information on canning and I'm loving it!! God bless you and your family 💖💖💖

[@angelagentry562]

OMGOSH I love her channel. My sister and I love her. We already bought a few Amish canning books and we’ve both subscribed and are looking forward to many more videos

[@lauraharden7204]

How ironic. I found her just before i started watching your videos. I love her stuff as well. I was always so worried about canning the "right" way. I knew in my heart that you could wb a lot of stuff because my mother wb everything. Unfortunatly my mother passed away in January and she hadnt canned in years. To find you all and this community has been a God send. THANK YOU!!!!!

[@saltandlightcanning4061]

Rachel, I hope you never feel bad about canning your food your way for your family. You have been such a blessing to me, and given me the confidence to try,and know that I can preserve my own food and take care of my family. Be so very blessed. Thank you for all you do.

[@marydattilo2603]

Enjoying your videos - especially at this time of year when there is so much coming in from the gardens. I'm a city girl with no place to plant anything but I do enjoy our local farmers markets and might even get inspired to do a little canning. Found MakeItMake and looking forward to watching her as well.

[@PamelaFlater]

I'm super excited about this video. Years ago , when I was in my 20's I was down in Kentucky and I had dinner with an old lady she made ham n beans, cornbread , fried potatoes and corn relish it was soooooo good! Her's was not spicey more sweet n tangy, but that would be an easy fix from this. I've never had the chance to get a recipe or see anyone actually make it (that's how i learn) :) Thanks so much. Love it , it looks yummy.

[@notfornothinghomestead]

I think it's so sweet you are putting smaller channels out there to your audience, we do appreciate the help! I will check her out and hopefully make a new fellow tuber friend😃 and WOW beautiful corn!!

[@Elaineeec]

Rachel, your experience is good enough for me. I know this as my own moms, grandmothers and aunts used many of your exact techniques. Those were the days when people weren't so scared to live and learn. For those who want and need that sort of thing there is plenty of info out there for them to find just like they found you. After all life is but a learning experience. Of course, no one should do anything they are not comfortable with within their own experience. As time goes by they will learn what is best for them. So take heart, you and your friend both. There are plenty enough people out here watching and loving your shows. Besides, I'm smart enough to approve what I do all by myself.

[@mrsc5053]

I discovered Make it Make several weeks ago and immediately loved watching her. Thank you for sending her some love. 💛

[@debraphillips12]

I have been watching her awhile. She’s so great! Thank you for supporting her too! 😊

[@jessima8053]

I’ve watched her and she is wonderful. Just know that that’s how a lot of us feel about you Rachel. You’ve given me much confidence in canning 😀

[@cbordes1]

I love Make-it-Make too! She’s wonderful and I’m leading so much from her. As a new canner, I really appreciate the common sense approach you and her use when canning. There’s so much hysteria created by some in the Canning community about what “approved and not approved” that it can turn a new person off or scare them into paranoia. I think Leilani, like yourself, are the blessing and the balance we all need in the Canning community. I love you both.

[@SalLeeHolland]

I have watched her before, and found her interesting. For some reason I don't remember my Mother having a preasure cooker when I was a kid. I still have the water bath canner of hers. I since bought a waterbath steamer canner and love it! Great for those that have a hard time lifting the old one, so I had to bail the water out when done. Will be interested to see what you do with her recipes and processing them.

[@dianetaylor1085]

What a joy! So excited to check out this new" sister in Canning". I too am new to this, just my second season, and have loved all of your videos with Todd and know that I will enjoy this new channel as well. Thanks for sharing and keep being so inspiring.

[@kshoe5004]

Rachel, my grandma had eleven children, preserved a huge farm garden, and never got any of her family and friends sick… she passed her knowledge to her daughters. I just wish I would have paid more attention to her. So, I totally learn from my favs on KZbin. And you are totally at the top of my faves!

I feel the same way about your channel as far as being encouraged and inspired in my food preservation and my life. I’ve recently shared your video about marriage and money and making it all work in a relationship, with my granddaughter and her fiancé. She loved it as well. Your video reinforced what we have already shared with her. Thanks for your wisdom and your willingness to share.

[@roosgramma9125]

Your the reason why I began pressure canning. I had always water bathed. But never pressure canned.I was intimidated by the normal pressure canner so I purchased the 12qt. Electric pressure canner. I love it. I shocked my husband he didn’t think I would ever do that. But with the current affairs of the US we need to put up and stock up what we can.

[@joinmeinthedirt5186]

[@annhendrick8681]

I watch her channel as well and share it. I love what she does and nothing better than learning from the Amish in my opinion it’s the best. They are keepers of the old ways and I love that. I left her a comment when she done the video on stopping the Amish canning series. I say just block the haters. Apparently they can’t be civil and scroll on by no they have to attack from behind a Key Board. May God bless you Rachael.

[@melwhitworth3077]

[@ann1260]

I’ve never seen you do a video for “Chow Chow” aka “End of Garden Relish” - OMG, it is AMAZING, I know you and Todd would love it! I made it the first time 3 years ago, the recipe I used was perfection and I’m planning on making a new batch soon!

[@denh1959]

I notice that when you process your corn you do not seem to use the silk. Idon't know if you are aware but if you dry the silk and then ticture it with vodka it makes an amazing medicine for any bladder complaints. It really works for cystitis and its something that we normally throw away. I love your videos . Thank you and God bless you.xxxx

[@crickettjd]

She is great. I found her a while back and can't afford a pressure canner right now and was so happy to see there are other ways to do meats, etc. I haven't tried it yet, but they had to be doing water bath canning before the pressure canner was invented.

[@bluegirl777]

They did water bath before pressure canners but they used cold storage and root cellars. I think that is where people go wrong. You should never water bath can low/no acid foods and then put it in a room temperature pantry. Just my two cents.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@bluegirl777 Why would that matter? Botulism grows in an oxygen-free environment, no matter if you store it at room temperature or in a root cellar.

[@marilyncausey9348]

I follow some channels of home canners in other countries. They all water bath. I'm interested in learning about that. For my purposes, I'll continue pressure canning because it's faster. Botulism shouldn't be much of a concern for anyone who's read the CDC's statistics on food-borne botulism in the US. There were 18 cases of food-borne botulism in the US in 2018 (that's in a population of 330 million people). Some of those 18 cases were lab proven, some were assumed. We have no information about whether any of the cases are thought to have come from home canning. None of those 18 cases resulted in death. I've recited the 2018, statistics so often, I have them memorized. 😆

[@rainspringing]

@@marilyncausey9348 those CDC statistics are a fascinating read though over the years. So much beaver, 'stink eggs', seal flipper, stinkhead, fish heads, and fish in general. That tricky tricky asparagus. Not to mention the prison made alcohol. The year of the fuzzy frozen purchased chili in TX. Plenty of what looks like commercial products. What interests me is the home canned things that don't look like snacks/single serve, but only a single person reported. From my notes on their statistics: Home canning cases are rare. Even with wild jarring methods like inverted, dishwasher and oven. In total only 79 known cases over the last 18 years. At the rate of zero to 7 a year, with one famous 27 case potato outlier. 2001 had exactly 2 known cases, perhaps 3 (listed as unknown) in the ENTIRE year of home canning. None connected, and thin details other than one was asparagus. 2002 - 6 cases, 1 unknown . 2003 - 1 case, 3 unknowns. 2004 - 5 cases, 1 unknown (more asparagus, guess that one can be tricky). 2005 - 2 cases suspected, 5 unknown. 2006 - 2 cases, 1 possible in Poland (most of that year's cases were all commercially canned products). 2007 - 2 cases, 3 suspected. 2008 - 6 cases, 1 suspected, 1 unknown. 2009 - 4 cases (known asparagus again), 7 suspected. 2010 - 2 cases, 1 suspected, 2 unknown. 2011 - 2 cases. 2012 - 7 cases (Two were PASTA in meat sauce. Wow, considering the printed meat sauce recipe in at least one ball book isn't long enough, as it is!), 1 suspected. 2013 - 1 suspected, 2 unknown. 2014 - 5 cases, 2 suspected. 2015 - 30 cases(27 from water bathed potatoes, then potlucked potato salad), 4 unknown. 2016 - 4 suspected, 2 unknown. 2017 - zero. 2018 - 2 cases.

[@interestedobserver9352]

I've been watching Make it Make and you're right, it's a really good channel. I love her spunk and her enthusiasm, she's also very genuine. It was upsetting to me that she got some flack for showing "non-approved" methods of canning ..she talks about traditional methods and those used by other cultures, which seems to be offensive or threatening to people. I appreciate her information, especially Amish food preservation traditions and recipes. Glad you mentioned her channel to your viewers.

My pressure canner doesn’t work as I have an induction stove. So waterbathing is the only way to can for me at the moment. I’m in the uk and waterbath canning is the norm for people who do it it’s the same over Europe too. I really enjoyed her videos too so when we ordered a replacement fridge freezer yesterday I’m this morning waterbath canning all my frozen veg in a very responsible way ( I really really love my family) I enjoyed the statement “open the jars sniff them and if it isn’t good throw it away” easy strightforward logic.

Good afternoon 😃. Love your corn relish. I love it on everything. I do have a very easy way of getting the seeds out of peppers, if you can fine a grapefruit spoon or knife it works great. It works great for tiny peppers all the way up to large ones. I hope this will help you. 🦩🦩🦩🦩🦩

Hey.... thanks for talking with us today. This was such a nice interlude. And thank you for all the direction and guidance. As a little attempt to show my gratitude, I’m sending an advanced copy of my new novel, “Prairie”. It’s about a ten-year-old girl left behind on the trail west in the Nebraska Territory of 1863. I think you’ll relate to her and to her spirit and heart. The book is being released to the general public on September 7th, but I wanted to personally put a copy in your hands. It’s on its way to your mailbox as I write this, and I hope you decide to venture deep into the prairie and enjoy the adventure.

Save & dry your cornsilks. You can make a tea with them that is good for any kind of urinary tract problems & I'm sure more than just that. And the "corn smut" was considered a delicacy by the Native Americans. They called it corn truffles!

[@lovella66]

Love watching Make It Make too. I find the Amish preservation practices very interesting. The living historical practices that they have passed down are amazing to me. I have unfortunately seen her be attacked for sharing this information with us which is a shame as we all want to do our best by our families. We have the right to make our own choices in our own kitchen and the more information/understanding we have, the better our choices will be in achieving this goal.

She’s my favorite too, I’m a Amish fan. My mother and grandma water bathed everything, and we purchased food from the Amish. New this channel. ❤️

[@barnrazedbyjesse6893]

Yes, I asked my grandma about it and she agrees that years ago she water bath canned everything it just takes a much longer processing time.

My mother remembered my great grandmother switching her wood cook stove out for a gas one when she was about 12.

I'm pretty happy to see that I'm not so different when it comes to culinary idea. Pre Covid, I had been working in the culinary field working closely with a chef. My background knowledge had been traditional recipes, grow your own, and make your own, all with a healthy food perspective. It was suggested that I put together a KZbin channel sharing what it is I know and do, and your sharing is making me feel that I should follow that path. My past little while had me busy harvesting, and canning in the old traditional method. Also using other creative methods by using what you have and making by replacing the things you don't have..... Blackcurrant jam, bumbleberry jam, pink lemonade marmalade and just some of the many things that I've done..... also just finished making a spicy corn relish before viewing this, and will be looking at making spicy pickled green beans tomorrow. Continue on being inspired and keep on inspiring :D

Electric knife! So easy! We also made corn cob jelly for the first time this year with the bushel we bought from a local farm.

I recently found Make it Make. I love her. What a gentle soul. Great recipes and videos. I can’t believe how judgmental people can be. Throw the first stone and all. God encourages us to not judge others. Come on people, be kind, it costs you nothing

[@gretchenarrant8334]

I've been subscribed to her for a long time and love her!! I love her videos and her explanations of the Amish canning!! She's a sweetie 💕Love Make it Make channel!! What a neat idea to remove the corn. Thank you for sharing!!

I found Make It Make because I wanted some Latin Flair in my cooking. I really like her and her personal story. She touches my heart 😊

[@bethmitchell6981]

I am with you Rachel. She is awesome. She helped me overcome my fear of waterbathing everything. So much information. God Bless

[@vickihogan4398]

Oh yes! I recently discovered her. You and RoseRed are my top two but I will watch Make It Make now, too. Glad to know you recommend her.

Make it Make has wonderful videos; we love her, too! And I was just thinking today about canning cowboy caviar. One batch makes so much, it would be amazing to can it up and open it a reasonable serving at a time. I just can't find a cowboy caviar canning recipe. Makes sense to treat it like a relish!

[@sandijammes7761]

@The Hilltop Homestead: I've seen at least a video or two specifically for Cowboy Caviar. Try googling/KZbin searching it again, try including "canning, homemade, homegrown",etc. I know it's out there, just can't think of where I saw it. I'm sorry, but good luck! 😎

Yes, if you put enough acid in it.

[@marciahohn4521]

YES...I think I love the Make it Make gal! What a refreshing attitude!

Hello Rachel and Todd and family. Hope you are doing well. I was sick in hospital with COVID-19 again for the fourth time even though I had all three shots than I was in hospital again with a bad asthma attack but I'm feeling much better now. I love watching you harvest your garden and preserve your produce. I love when you cook. Have a good day and God Bless you and Todd and your family from Wendy Bertie a viewer in Toronto Ontario Canada

I love her, I follow her she's a great teacher and absolutely a soul sister. I beleive in the Amish . I have friends I have made with the Amish and I love that about her . Love your channel

[@tiffanyx8577]

I think rogue preserving is okay when you have a baseline of understanding. I think where I feel weird about it is if that’s your first recipe or if a creator doesn’t explain the “whys.” I think it can be dangerous if don’t understand the basics of acidity, temperature, and time. I know some people won’t tweak spices or anything from approved recipes, but I feel comfortable changing spices or swapping out things as long as the relative acidity will remain the same. To each their own!

[@theparkeys2013]
