Life in a Tiny House called Fy Nyth - Canning Peaches

A little more food storage for the year. Canning some delicious peaches! This also works for plums, nectarines, etc.
***************************************************************
If you are new to my channel and Fy Nyth (Welsh for "My Nest") in general, welcome! I'm Ariel. I live off grid (as in no physical connection to public utilities) in a tiny house on wheels in the mountains of western Wyoming. I've been living this lifestyle for close to six years now and love it! What will you find if you follow my channel and watch my videos?
Real life here. I try to show the good and the bad. The ups and the downs. What works, and what doesn't. The parts I love (most of it!), and the things that suck. Not just the showroom version of a tiny house, but everyday life in a tiny house. Not just the romantic idea of "homesteading" or off grid life, but the everyday details of this lifestyle. I split my own wood for heat, carry my water by hand, and attempt to grow as much of my own food as I can between the weather and wildlife here. I hope to help others learn from my mistakes and make life just a little easier for anyone else interested in pursuing a similar lifestyle.
I live in a somewhat harsh and cold climate, but enjoy the stunning sceanery and wildlife that I am surrounded by on a daily basis. You'll also see videos of of the nature and wildlife around my home. If you are interested in my photography or purchasing a photo, I'd love if you follow that over at Facebook.com/ArielCelestePhotography or ArielCelestePhotography.zenfolio.com!
For a bit of my background, as a child, I was fortunate enough to be able to spend much of my free time exploring and playing in the woods. Little has changed now that I'm older I suppose. I moved to a place with a bigger woods and still enjoy spending my time outside gardening, hiking, exploring, and photographing the natural world around me. As the eldest of seven children who grew up in a homeschooling family, I had the opportunity, not always appreciated at the time, to learn to do quite a bit of work. I've enjoyed a wide range of jobs, everything from greenhouses and flower arranging to wilderness therapy with teens, to milking cows. Mostly, I enjoy doing the kinds of things that I think provide a real service or value to others. Some of my other hobbies include backpacking, hosting people, cooking, preserving food, anything to do with nutrition, reading, journalling, and sitting around a fire and talking to my close friends.

Ariel, I’m an old man. I watched my mom and grandmothers can my whole childhood. When I got married all that stopped (My Sweetie just didn’t know how). Watching you sent me back through wonderful memories. I was the oldest of six and had to help Mom carry and move jars, fruit, veggies and such. When it was canning time, it was all hands on deck (except for the little ones). Mom canned and put up everything Daddy would grow. Daddy made a big garden; so, sheesh, you know. The only thing I didn’t like was when she made pickles, whew, vinegar! I had to move her big ol’ heavy crocks. I think you’re a fine girl. You’re making a fine life for yourself. I know your parents are pleased. Texas

A classic desert is Peach Melba, made in honour of an Australian opera Singer Miss. Melba. It is vanilla ice-cream with peaches and raspberry sauce topped with grated white chocolate or strips of " candyfloss" ( cotton candy). Ordinary peaches and ice-cream without the trimmings is one of the worlds best deserts. If you really want to go fancy you can pour ordinary cream over the ice-cream and re-freeze it before adding the peaches.

[@IsthatSew]

Looks like they'll be delicious. Maybe you'll video a peach recipe creation soon.

[@melissadimoush8196]

Wish I’d seen this before I canned my peaches. You inspired me to give canning a go. My mother canned a few things growing up, but had a pressure canner and was always pretty stressed while using it. I bought a water bath canner at the farm store and have done two loads of peaches. You’re the first person I’ve seen leave the skins on. I’ll do another that way and see how it goes. As always, thank you for sharing. Love, love, love your channel. ❤️

My grandparents lived in the Appalachians, and canned blackberries each year. One year, money was tight, and they decided to leave out the sugar. They planned to add sugar later, when they opened the cans. That winter, money was even tighter, and they did not have sugar. They ate sour blackberries all winter with their toast. They decided to never again can berries without adding sugar.

They are a tart one!

I always enjoyed canning, haven't done it in a long while now, but want to again. Loved canning peaches and having them in the winter time on the table as with other fruits and vegies. Mainly vegies, but canning and freezing was my jam. I did not have a canner like you have though and I am loving yours! So much nicer than a hot water bath to me. I did use a hot water bath and a pressure canner. Each had it place when it came to canning. Thanks for showing everyone how to can peaches! Hugs, Brenda

A steam canner!! Yay! I use one of these too; have for years and it’s great even with canning the half pint jars. I can fruits, tomatoes and tomato sauce, apple butter, even oranges; any thing that is high in acid. But your steam canner whistles? Mine doesn’t. It’s my second one and the first didn’t either. Hmm.

[@FyNyth]

Mine doesn't always whistle. But if it really gets steaming, sometimes it does a little bit. Nothing like the whistle from a pressure canner though.

[@beckypincalifornia1985]

Totally agree with leaving the skins on fruits, even tomatoes, when canning. Want every bit of flavor and nutrients as possible. And better color. Huge time saver. I was taught to make fruit juice, from the fruit you are canning to use as the canning liquid. Ratio of about 4 pieces of fruit to about 2 cups of water. Bring to a boil. Add a tablespoon of lemon. Add a tablespoon or two of honey or sugar. Puree. Pour into canning jars. Process. Voila! Thanks Ariel, for another great video!

Great project Ariel. I do peaches just a little different, but not much. One, I boil my lids. Second, I add 1 half teaspoon of lemon juice per quart for color retention. Last, I never tip the jars. Just for the risk of not sealing? It's just the way I was taught, and the 24 hr rest is solid information all should practice.

[@leal536]

When I learned canning from my mother in the last century!! (50+ years ago), she used a technique for her sugar water that eliminated the dilemma of not having too much or having too little! She had my sister and me add a measured amount of sugar to the jars, then a ladle of boiling water, stir until the sugar is dissolved. Then, after packing the fruit in the jar, we topped it off with boiling water up to the "shoulder" of the jar. Since you use honey, you could use the same technique. Also, when we canned grapes (for juice) if you ever have the opportunity to do so, we simply packed the jars with washed grapes, and water. No sweetener at all. When we wanted juice, we poured the jar of grapes/juice over a fine sieve and there we had our juice. We could at that time, sweeten the juice at that time.

[@FyNyth]

Nice! I never thought about it, but I guess I learned to can in the last century too! :) Yeah we often did about 200 quarts of grape juice that way when I was growing up.

How lovely those peaches looked in your kitchen! I once went to dinner at a new friend's house & she'd made a peach pie. I was in heaven! It's a pleasure just to see ripe peaches either whole or sliced - especially with the skins on. It's a good thing I just had some salad & 3 small slices of a thin crust pizza topped with tomato slices, with Marinara sauce on the side. Otherwise I'd be craving something sweet. I haven't had a naturally ripened juicy peach in decades. After buying some disappointing peaches which were likely picked long before ripening & then treated chemically to ripen - or some such disaster - I had to toss them out. They had no flavor & didn't seem ripe. Had a weird texture too. So - I really enjoyed watching you prepare those, & offering several useful tips, like wiping the rims before putting the lids on for a perfect seal, & the idea of keeping the lids in hot water! I'm assuming you buy the produce you don't grow by the pound. So how many pounds of peaches did you buy? Were they grown in CA? I'd love to know a good source to order from online, on the east coast, that sells them in smaller batches. I couldn't deal with that many! It's likely too late to buy fresh peaches this year. They do grow in MA, so guess I'll have to do some research. It's apple season here now., so maybe I should buy local & try that apple cake!

[@FyNyth]

It can be really hard to get good peaches in a grocery store far from where they grow for sure. I bought 40 pounds of peaches from Utah. That's the closest place to me that's warm enough to grow them in any kind of quantity. But yeah, you should be in good apple territory!

[@cherylanderson3340]

@@FyNyth There's an apple orchard about 20 miles from here, that's very popular & makes a lovely destination for a fall ride. Will have to check on when we can go out to pick our own. They have a big barn where they clean & bag & also make pies,etc. There are a few small, crowded rooms of old second hand pots, pans, cutlery & kitchen gadgets, small pieces of furniture, oh & I vaguely recall a few small taxidermied critters like a weasel, skunk, & a deer I guess, with horns - it was decades ago...They hadboxes of old records, prints & a few paintings, sea shells, old mirrors... So it's fun spot to poke around, & I always seem to grow attached to something & feel it needs to come home with me. Now that I'm older, I think I can resist buying more stuff that I don't need. They also have some wooden picnic tables outside along the wide swath of grass between the orchard & the huge parking area. The trees are planted in rows that are perpendicular to the front of the big barn. The picnic tables sit on that lawn area, so you can see into the gently rolling orchard & distant views from everywhere. There used to be a small building in the parking lot that sold ice cream & beverages. At the end of tbe parking area, behind that small building, they may still have a small playground with swings, seesaws, maybe a slide, tucked away back there, so not adjoining the parking area. It's fun to watch the kids, who eat a bit of pie or sip their drinks with their parents & then run back to play with the other kids, or to grab an available swing. Some parents sit on the edges of benches with babies napping in strollers, & there are often little ones that toddle around. I like sitting outside, watching the families, & kids playing, & looking through the rows of trees, as far as the eye can see, out to the horizon, but sometimes the yellow jackets are a bit much. I find if I put a small chunk of baked apple or cheese on a plate for them, a few feet away, or on another table they leave me alone. : ) I've sat nside the barn,if it's cold or windy. They'd set up a few groupings of mismatched tables & chairs where you can sit & have coffee, tea, maybe a soda, water, or a pretty good cup of hot chocolate. There are people wandering around, choosing from 2 sised bags of apples, & they used to sell just a a few other things, like the original, made just a few towns away, Westminster crackers, a few cheezes, local honey, pretty gourds & pumpkins of course. I'm loving lremembering being in that place. It was a small menu. They served a good sized slice of a home made style of warm apple pie, with a real crust, & ice cream, whipped cream, or cheddar cheese, but also - one of my favorite sweet things I've never seen anywhere else, a baked single apple, wrapped in a square of that same home made style pie crust. The apples are cored & they put in some butter, cane sugar, cinnamon & maybe nutmeg, pull up the raw crust around the apple & pinch the tops together somehow. I imagine the corners gathered like fabric, & only know the tops didn't come out looking overdone. Can't remember if they pierced the dough around the shoulders to let some steam out, but that might be a good idea. They were baked until soft & served in shallow, wide ceramic bowls with room enough for ice cream. Don't remember the kinds of apples used, but they were fairly large. I remember having mine with vanilla ice cream with flecks of vanilla bean, so they may have made the ice cream too. I haven't been out there in many years, so think it's time & get together with some old friends & go see that lovely place again. I really should try to make these baked apples myself, too. Love the crust to apple ratio too!

Ariel, could you make juice out of some of the peaches and then use that instead of honey or sugar to keep the flavor all peach? Thanks for taking the time to show this work.

[@FyNyth]

I haven't done that, but I'm sure you could!

[@mrparlanejxtra]

I have a hunch that you need plenty of sugar as it is a preservative. Using honey is a waste of honey which was never designed to be a preservative for fruit. It is meant to be eaten by itself on toast etc.

[@FyNyth]

While sugar is an excellent preservative for some things, none at all is needed in a sealed jar which does all the preserving just by being sealed. Honey is also an excellent preservative (also not needed in a sealed jar for preservation) that has been used for thousands of years. So unless you personally created honeybees, I'm not sure how you know it wasn't designed to preserve things. :)

[@clarekrishan1597]

@@FyNyth indeed Ariel, like for your pickles with salt, the honey syrup's concentration just needs to equal that of the fruit's natural sweetness to prevent water -- and all the natural peach flavor and aroma compounds inside -- leaching out via _osmosis_ (in the case of pickles, its a 2-way process, first leach water out with salt, then return it back with less salty brine, hence *crunchy* gherkins)

Hey, I'm in Georgia, I love peaches and pecan pie. 🙂

[@chrismoore9686]

Suggestion: Have you ever tried the spice Mace with peaches? There is something about that flavor that makes peaches come alive! Even already delicious peaches. I'm sure you already know, Mace is the covering of the nutmeg seed, it's in that family. It is also very strong. I would say 1/8-1/4 teaspoon per quart. I used to can peach pie filling and I added Mace to that. It was so good! Also I hope your peaches are organic. Don't the peels hold a lot of pesticide residue? Happy eating this winter!

[@FyNyth]

I've not tried mace with them, but that sounds good! I always recommend organic unless you've got home grown or something else raised properly but without the paperwork required to use the O word.

In all my almost 80 years, I have never had a canned peach with the skin on. They certainly have a lot more color. Mushy sounds like a mistake. The freestone are softer than the cling peaches!

Wonderful as always, too late for me this year but will do that next year from my peach tree. This year it produced a lot and they were delicious😋❤

[@FyNyth]

Yum! That's wonderful to have your own tree.

AS much you can. Like you said They are called fruit cellar. vegetable bin, or storage . It all depends of what area you are from.......

[@mtpocketswoodenickle2637]

joe parker. Agreed. I built mine with cobbled stone collected locally and I call it the root cellar! I did barn and historical site preservation for many years. Building a 16' by 16' by 10' cellar, than erecting a post and beam hip roofed barn over it. It's my canning shack. I also built my own stone smoke house next to it that looks like a silo. More fun than building it, was the pushback from the township! The building inspector learned very valuable lessons in law and government!

[@FyNyth]

One day I'll have one!

[@catyear75]

Peaches might be my favorite fruit - well, top 3 - ok top five - I love fruit , natures candy! Lol This canning info is priceless! Thanks Ariel ! Xo !

[@FyNyth]

It is hard to pick. Cherries might be my first choice, but after that, it would be really hard to choose .I like almost everything.

[@dawnbaker9274]

Having trouble finding a stream bath canner. It's always sold out. But still on the lookout. Good video. 👍💖

[@FyNyth]

I just checked and it looks the the one I have was recently discontinued by the manufacturer after decades. But I have other items made by Victorio and know they have held up for longer than I've been alive, so if I was buying one today I'd go with this one - amzn.to/2kKUg1C .

[@SurfergirlKH]

Maybe craigslist or else?!

[@chiapagringa]

Terrific canning demonstration. Thank you!

[@joellenbroetzmann9053]

Do you pressure can meat too? My dad was an outstanding trout fisherman. Mom would can the meat. It was so delicious!

[@FyNyth]

I have. Not recently, but used to can beef, chicken, and turkey.
