Home Canning Mandarin Oranges With Linda's Pantry

[@sallygordin2869]

I have a mandarin tangerine tree so they almost cost nothing. Thanks for teaching me to can them. I never knew I could. Blessings!!

[@shellylarue9661]

Girl, YOU are excited?? I'M excited!!! Just bought me some lil cuties and then came up here to see who was gonna tell me how to do this. Thanks for coming through! 😁

[@kathrynh685]

Thank you! My son loves oranges and really wanted to have them year round. This will be a great project this summer.

[@sherrizanoli1398]

Linda, have you ever made homemade fruit cocktail. I used peaches, pears, pineapple, white grapes and a jar of maraschino cherry halves. Made a light simple syrup and hot bathed. Great a year later.

[@vlvtvc]

Oh. Those look lovely. I've canning pineapple and freezing strawberries due to great sales. I never thought of canning mandarins. Thank you for turning on my light bulb!

[@TheAirplanewoman]

Thanks Linda for all your videos. I started canning last year with the help of your videos. I haven’t canned fruit yet so when I saw they had mandarins on sale, I went out bought a bunch and canning them tonight 😁. Thanks again

[@iamscrappybuttons]

Will be getting some cuties tomorrow ....I can't wait to can them....they look so beautiful...Thanks for sharing...

[@crochetgottaloveit]

Wow! Your mandarins look gorgeous! We are in the middle of satsuma season around here and I plan to can some of them up. They are very similar to mandarin oranges and a little larger than the Cutie oranges. I've learned a lot from Katzcradul but I've never heard of Atticus9799. I will check out the channel. Thanks for making this video! 😊

[@laurelmills3772]

Hi, Linda! Thanks for your video. Did you know there is an acid available on Amazon called Pectic acid or pectinase and it will dissolve the membranes so that your mandarins go in the jar looking like commercially processed mandarins? It's true!!

[@peggywestbrook579]

I love them jars! Where did you find them?

[@LindasPantry]

@freakygeaktwo ! 1/2 cups of sugar to 5 cups of water:)

[@preppermima6492]

I really appreciate all your great videos. Canned 10lbs of cuties today. They turned out great. Off to the store to buy more. lol

[@Tess1984]

Hi... I didn't read all of the posts.. how long would the shelf life be on these ? Would your store canned ones last longer? I know homemade is healthier, but, for a long-term storage, which would be better in your opinion?

[@AjPrepper]

I'm glad you did this.. I thought of doing this and forgot about it when I went to the store. I'm getting ready to do Kat's pineapple jelly today. Your jars look wonderful and you are always such a delight to watch. As always thumbs up ! ;-) Aj

[@JB-vi6cd]

I have a fruit saver steam canner. Love it. Thanks

[@ljm9092]

Hi Linda... I Love your Jars where did you get them if you don't mind my asking? I am going to can the cuties as well. they are Beautiful!!

[@davemckenney4583]

My wife and I are enjoying your channel. We are struggling to find Katzcradul's video on best time to purchase things from stores to can, that you mention. Do you have time to post a link? Thank you! :-)

[@Gardeninggirl1107]

Thanks :) So do you use the water bath canner for fruit and the pressure canner for meat? Or is it just a preference thing? Probably silly question, but I'm starting at square one.

[@vickimartin6083]

I just watched this video, I just started watching you as a matter of fact, and think you are delightful. but I canned mandarin oranges once and I tasted them and I thought they were horrible how did yours taste? Maybe I did something wrong. Thanks for your imput. And I love your new home. Best of luck

[@hpetty7]

It’s probably the white pith. Try a pectinase enzyme. It’ll remove it. You can find it on Amazon.

[@melissadenny5278]

these are beautiful :) please link where you got youre jars from :)

[@tat2rose1]

have you done a video on your habaero mango jelly? I would really love to have that recipe, I am 50 yr old who never learned to cook my husband does all the cooking and i would like to surprize him with that ham you cooked with the jelly, i love your videos,

[@Gardeninggirl1107]

Wow, very nice! What is your recipe for the simple syrup (I like that it isn't too sweet). Also, what are the two types of canners? I noticed you used a different one for your corned beef. Thanks :)

[@eagle4god373]

I did this and have a question-Why did they taste so bitter? Maybe the oranges were just bad-should have ate one first. They look great, taste-not so good.

[@hpetty7]

The bitterness is from the white pith. Try using enzyme pectin. It’ll get rid of the pith. Amazon has it. 😊

[@ReticulatingSplines_]

Generally you have to remove all the membranes with a knife when you can citrus or the white membranes will make the oranges bitter. That's why ones you get at the store have had membranes removed.

[@TonyHartzy]

So you leave an air bubble at the top?

[@karenhebert7388]

you talk about Kats Cradle...now who are they and how do I find them to see the canning they also do.....

[@mossn081]

I just started canning and came across your youtube video on canning oranges I heard that they tasted kinda bitter and was wondering if you have to wait a while before eating or increase the syrup to heavy instead of light syrup?

[@lilyrose7456]

Linda I love watching you can

[@jillywells1232]

+Deena Freedlund I agree!!!

[@shweetpotato]

absolutely gorgeous

[@knitkitten]

How long did you process them for?

[@sandraxoxoxoxo1566]

hey linda i canned some of these ,and I found out that mine changed to the taste of a lite grapefruit ,kind of tart can you give me any info. on why these did this . but I still enjoyed them sandra

[@marychipley3252]

How did yours do I can some today they were so bitter they were awful what causes that I cleaned all the stuff off them put in light syrup and water bath for proper time I need help

[@aerdna16]

Noreen inspired me too! I did 20 pounds, I found them on sale for 2.99 for 5lbs. Had my kids help me peal them, They loved to help!

[@tonisnyder6935]

How long in the water bath?

[@ooohhitskaren63]

my hubby inspires me as well...he told me how much he loved pickled asparagus, he brought home a jar...we ate that up, and I was inspired to do my version. Now I'm on the search for califlower on the cheap so I can pickle califlower for him too. I'm now going on the hunt for the cuties at a good price..cause they have been like 7-8 bucks for 5 lbs.

[@Sabrina1998]

I watched another video and they did a taste test and said the flavor changes and had a bitter/sour after taste. Do you experience that with yours?

[@imperfect0circle]

Just wondering do you think you could can them with just filtered water and stick a few stevia leaves down in the jar to sweeten them?

[@Dorrie519]

So just a quick question. How did they turn out? Would you can them again?

[@PondRiverFarm]

I really like the look of those jars, what kind are they? Where did you purchase them?

[@juliageorge-bill4251]

What about re-canning from a large can?

[@patsyspaeth3809]

wow i am excited

[@TheWritingGirl]

have you tired canning them with the coconut water?

[@tigereyes8961]

My Grandma and my aunts and my mom always did peaches and all the berries for pies. Don't remember how we did the apples tho. My Uncle and Aunt owned a farm, and after the pickers went through, the family would go and we could pick as much as we wanted. Always canning.. I loved doing Dill pickles.. My mom would make a few jars just for me with lots of garlic...YUMMO... We even made freezer strawberry jelly... Now everyone is gone. I need to start doing this and teach my granddaughters. LOL

[@runawaybead]

What is your syrup made with do you have measurements

[@anitagonzalez8439]

Hi, I made these with a light syrup but when we were ready to use them they were bitter. The bitterness was like a grapefruit, can you tell me what I did wrong.

[@LindasPantry]

@Gardeninggirl1107 Sorry 1 1/2 cups sugar to 5 cups of water:) One is a water bath caner and ond is for pressure canning:)

[@MichellesCraftsandMore]

I have canned peaches, apricots, nectarines, made peach pie and apple pie fillings, apple sauce, peach butter and apple butter. I love canning.

[@lindap9079]

Hi Linda, I like your name. I'm wondering how the home canned oranges compare flavor/ texture wise to commercially canned mandarins?

[@Paula-zx8mt]

Did these work out well? Taste?

[@quiltanon]

Linda, these look delicious! I actually canned some last Friday. I separated the oranges but did not remove the membrane that surrounds each orange segment. I also used a sugar-water syrup. A few days later, I looked at the jars and the fluid is a little murky at the bottom. Is this a problem? Is it necessary to remove the membrane?

[@MizzQueenBreNaturally]

I wanna know too

[@MizzQueenBreNaturally]

Okay isaw another comment. They said yes that's why they sell them with out the menbrains in stores because they get bitter

[@Mel79439]

can you do this with oranges if they dont have the cuties?

[@theresagrater3426]

I canned mandarin oranges and they came out rubbery any ideas on why this happened i cant find anything online about them turning out this way. I dont want them to be soggy but i was looking for how to get them to come out more lije what is bought in stores

[@LindasPantry]

Not sure why that would have happened I found you really need to remove the kith are the skin off of the slices because they tend to be a little bitter

[@pocatellogreatharvest13]

Hi Linda, beautiful bottles. What kind are they and do you mind telling me where you purchased them. Thanks so much!

[@sierrab4564]

She mentioned at the beginning she purchased two 4 pound bags of cuties from costco, but any mandarin or really any citrus would work :)

[@janejdough2230]

Peptic Enzyme ( you can find it where wine making things are sold). Add 1 / 8 the teaspoon per quart and soak for 12 ish hours or overnight . Shake and rise several times the pith will slough off easily. Preserve as directed.

[@Magick9799]

When I canned a flat of the cuties, they came out really tough and bitter, and I used a med syrup. They didn't go bad or anything, just bitter tasting. Any tips?

[@sierrab4564]

Watch "ChefSteps Tips & Tricks: Perfect Citrus Gems" on KZbin kzbin.info/www/bejne/m2bZkqKeo5drfpY The pith actually makes the taste bitter if you do a water bath with the pectic enzyme or pectinase you get rid of all the white pith and then you can add a simple syrup to increase the sweetness

[@LindasPantry]

@shweetpotato Thank you and the camera does not do these justice:)

[@freakygeaktwo]

I have to ask this, have you thought about canning your own fruit cocktail ? :) I would like to see this done only problem is I just have one of those stewing pots for water bath canning. I'll have to stock up on jars :D great video now another question your syrup sugar water ratio ya never mentioned it :) thanks.

[@knitkitten]

How do you make the light syrup?

[@liliacerda4003]

How can you make sure they don’t come out bitter?

[@sierrab4564]

Using the pectic enzyme or pectinase in a water bath before canning. It removes the white "pith" off the segments preventing any bitterness, she also added a simple syrup that adds some sweetness. I found it at a locan brew shop for $2 but you can find it online for less than $5

[@sierrab4564]

[@LuvHealthNConception]

so wait did she ever say b/c i was wondering the same thing i havent really seen ppl put fruit into the pressure canner just meats so let me know plz thanks

[@denyserhodes6150]

How did they taste

[@LindasPantry]

Amazing

[@LindasPantry]

Yes I would refer to the Ball canning book for sure:)

[@LindasPantry]

Maybe it would be worth a try to see how it works:)

[@justcheckingin2010]

Anyone know how to peel the membrane off the the mandarin? There must be an easy way. I bought a Dole jar of mandarin oranges to see what they did. They used white grape juice and lemon concentrate. I canned mine the same as my peaches and it tasted the same. But Dole has the mandarins peeled. I can't figure out how to do that? Any help out there?

[@karenwright6465]

I canned these just like you did & mine taste awful almost like grapefruit. Mine we cuties, can u help me

[@aniyahg2806]

Karen Wright the white pith on the oranges is what makes them taste bitter. You need to use Pectinex to get rid of the white peelings. This woman is doing this completely wrong.

[@AussieAngeS]

They look wonderful. Linda I cam across another channel that I love and not sure if you know it but wanted to share it. She also does food storage and canning etc... It's called queenscabinet if you havnt seen her channel I highly advise you take a look if you would like to. Amazing stuff!

[@LindasPantry]

@Fitange I watch her too but she hasn't posted anything in a while...:)

[@LindasPantry]

@AjPrepper Pretty stuff, and thank you for watching. Have fun and I hope you share your canning with us :)

[@lorilei73]

I made these and they were so sweet before canning but have a bit of a bitter flavor after. I NEED suggestions as to what I can do with another 10 lbs of Cuties..anybody have some good ideas for me? :)

[@pennyskitchen2564]

How was the results?

[@chelerutan]

Linda, could you post her channel name here. When I do a search for "Cats Cradle" I get all kinds of animal shelter channels. Thank you.

[@sunnysmilesstudio4115]

It's katzcradul.

[@TheSilverCrownNaturalGreyHair]

I tried canning these cuties before and mine tasted very bitter because of that white membrane. :-(.

[@LindasPantry]

Yes I did go to my channel and it is there.

[@ceddrieaglenn1080]

Great Video...

[@JZ-gr1tz]

U can put also a nice little bow laze from the party stores and make a great gift 🎁 Matter fact besides flrcur own an extra way oof making a living. Selling those cutties Pretend u have a lot of experience by now 12 year latter I'm sure u do :) 😀

[@marychipley3252]

I tried ther taste bitter what causing this

[@kellybowser6002]

I canned some navel oranges, a while ago and just opened then today about 4 months later and they ended up bitter and soggy. I canned them in a light syrup. I could not eat them they was nasty. I am wondering if the oranges themselves was not ripe or something? The soggy could have been over processing on my part. HELP

[@Ayame550]

unless you peel the membrane off of each slice they will turn out bitter. that's why all the store bought ones are like that.

[@lgrisafe301]

Use pectic enzyme to remove all the pith. We did it for ours and they turned out so sweet!!

[@StatenIslandSlim]

Nice!

[@LindasPantry]

@StatenIslandSlim :)

[@LindasPantry]

@Allen2045 Yay i want to see when you do. :)

[@LindasPantry]

@twbigdogsgirl Canning is addicting Lol

[@LindasPantry]

Katzcradul is the most experienced with canning citrus so I would PM her and ask. Sorry Linda:)

[@lorilei73]

Thanks will do :)

[@Hagfan789]

I tried doing these...Unless you remove the membrane from each segment of fruit your end product isn't very good.

[@LindasPantry]

@vlvtvc :)

[@TheStayAtHomesteadMom]

I watched over 5 minutes of her pouring syrup in jars just for her to skip the seals and rings. As a beginner, I want to see every single step.

[@TheWolflady1958]

Certain things can be water bath canned and other things, like meat and some veggies, must be pressure canned. Get a Ball canning book! Best investment ever!! it will show you which process to use for your product.

[@theresabollman8061]

I believe the process is done chemically. It used to be.

[@LindasPantry]

@aerdna16 I wish I had help:)
