Canning Whipping Cream - Will it Whip?!

[@Luvmygoats]

This is such a super idea. I just found your channel because I was searching, canning milk and cream. Thank you. The USDA cans everything, including milk and heavy cream. If they can do it, so can we. They just don't want us to. They want us to buy their products. I'm a rebel. I will survive, my way.

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi Deborah. You said my thoughts exactly 💯 😊

[@Katya-zj7ni]

🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌

[@judykish1481]

So I canned my heavy cream following your instructions a year ago. It turned out great! Threw it in my blender and voila... still struggling with milk, but my cream cheese, sour cream, and heavy cream turned out awesome. My milk was store bought 2% and my first attempt lasted 4 months on the shelf. Will keep working on that one. Honestly, having those things on the shelf are a life saver. Don't have to run to the store. Thanks Mickey!

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi Judy. I'm glad this has been helpful! Not sure what the issue with the milk would be. I've got whole milk in the pantry pushing 4 years old. After that long I've noticed it's separated some, but I just mix it up before using it. 😊

[@ASouthernLadyinAppalachia]

I did pure whipping cream. It will only whip if it’s ice cold, didn’t get quite as stiff as regular cream. I love getting it on sale and canning it.

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi SouthernLady 44. That's interesting because I only chill mine in the refrigerator before whipping it. Years ago I used to put my metal bowl and beaters in the freezer before whipping it but I've quit doing that. Maybe I don't get lovely peaks like yours! 😊

[@wandacampbell2023]

How long does it last on the shelves? I worry it could go bad between the time of canning and using.

[@alfredacaudle3374]

Hello I did the heavy whipping cream on 3/22 and wiped it up a couple months later,it turned out good. This week when I go shopping I will be picking up more heavy whipping cream because I use it in my two ingredient biscuits . I also want to do the half and half because, I use in my iced coffee.thanks for you video, this will save me money in the long run because, I don’t drive and it hard to get to the stores maybe once a month.

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi alfreda. Doesn't keeping your pantry stocked with dairy products just make perfect sense? I can all of my whipping cream and half & half in pints and my milk in both pints and quarts. That's the nice thing about this, it doesn't spoil in the refrigerator if you don't use it quick enough. And as you mentioned, you don't need to run to the store often.😊

[@arizonajo2791]

Not to mention the stores aren’t always stocked!

[@OuttheBackDoor]

@@arizonajo2791 Hi Arizona Jo. That's for sure! Too many times I check to see if there's whipping cream on sale and they have empty shelves!

[@wendlo1]

Thank you for that.. I was always curious why the milk looked a different color..kind of similar to canning butter

[@jeanninemcwhorter919]

@outtheBackDoor I’m finally going to attempt canning my dairy. What I would like to know is how long has it lasted you so far? Meaning do you recommend a certain timeframe for it to be used up?

[@ann2155]

7:28 I have a question for the folks that comment dairy is not supposed to be canned. Have you ever heard of condensed milk or evaporated milk? Both are canned. If it can be done commercially it can be done at home. The agencies tell you this so that you don’t do it for yourself. Nothing more. it’s all about the dollars and the stock market. Furthermore, my kitchen, my rules . I was given a brain and I know how to use it. I don’t have to listen to any agency.

When canninh small jars, you can put canning lids under your rack to raise the jars above the water level. That way no water gets in the jars. I have canned whole milk as well as half n half but not hwc yet, though i should since i use it almost daily. I now have shelf stable milk in the pantry. It does have to have a larger headspace and be warmed in canner super slow so it doesn't boil out. I do the same as you, bring it up to pressure then turn it off. Zero minutes. ForJars and Superb are my go to lids. Good sealing material amount, less fails, even when I've reused them. (Yes, i know) Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Good morning Deborah. I'm a bit confused about your comment of raising the jars so water doesn't get into the jars. Water shouldn't get into jars during any type of processing. Think about when you water bath can preserves or fruits, for example. Your jars are submerged under water. Or am I not understanding that portion of your comment? Have a blessed day. Mickey 😊

[@dieag8273]

Raw milk separates into milk and cream. The cream separates into different thicknesses of cream. Very top is thick, almost solid. I think that is what showed up in your canned heavy cream

[@OuttheBackDoor]

@dieag8273 Di, I had a dairy farmer tell me that's called "clamps", it's normal, and just stir it back in. 👍

[@eileenrankin9584]

cream and powdered sugar make 'whipped cream', when you add vanilla it becomes what is called 'Chantilly cream'.

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi Eileen. Interesting! I've been making it this way with vanilla as long as I can remember, along with most of the older women in our area, and we've always called it whipped cream. One thing I do differently than most is dumping everything into the bowl right away and start whipping it where the other ladies add the confectionery sugar after the cream has been whipped. Maybe it's a regional thing? 😊

[@dianepereira1860]

I've always just called it whipped cream as well. I also add everything all together before whipping - from RI@@OuttheBackDoor

So, I use an electric canner and I tried this yesterday. Let cream sit on the counter until room temp. Poured in half pints. Set it in the canner and turned it on. The cream was room temp going in. Let it go thru the warm jars cycle, the fill jar cycle, then the heat cycle. When it got up to pressure and the canner said to put the regulator on, I unplugged it. Let it sit for 1 1/2 hours to cool down. It did not Carmelita. Trying today to see if it whips.

[@joaniefrazier7594]

Geez, auto correct. Obviously not Carmelita. Lol

I'm sure that if you had chilled your whipping cream in the refrigerator the way you're supposed to as ice cold as you can get it it would have whipped up even more fluffy.

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi Sandra. Yes, it may have whipped up a bit more if I had refrigerated it over night, but I wanted to finish up the video in the same day. Also, by adding the sugar before whipping the cream, this will cause it to not whip up as much as folding in the sugar after whipping the cream. You can see the consistency was very thick and had I whipped it any longer than I did, I would have started making butter. 😊

When I can heavy cream or any milk, really I shake before I open. It helps incorporate it back in.

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi TheFruitFIG. I always shake my milk and "newer" canned whipping cream before opening, but if your whipping cream is 1 to 2 years old or older in the pantry, it's going to take more than just a shaking before opening. It separates into liquid and a thick mass that makes "just shaking" pretty much impossible to incorporate. The whipping cream is still good, but depending on how you're planning on using it, a whisk is highly suggested to incorporate everything once opened. 😊

You never mentioned HOW LONG did you pressure can for? 60 minutes?

Hi Demi. That's because there is no time. When you come to pressure, turn your heat off and let it come down to zero on its own. 😊

Hi Patricia. Actually, I'd advise against it. I'm hoping to find some refrigerated buttermilk in our area (we live in a small community and the grocery stores say it's not worth stocking) and do a video on canning it so everyone can see what happens. 😊

I have water bathed whipping cream from the store and fresh cream from the dairy and they turn out beautiful every time. I tried pressure canning milk and cream decades ago and hated the look, texture and taste. So I have only water bathed everything including meat for the past 55 years.

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Oldschool, that's great! 👍 I've water bath canned low acidic foods. But, my question is, how long did you WB can your dairy products for? And the sugars didn't caramelize at all? 😳

Do you water milk from the store also? New to your channel and love what I’ve seen so far. I water bathed some milk and it did ok but it turned to buttermilk. That’s ok for cooking but I want to be able to use the milk also drinking.

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi Robin. Welcome to the channel 😀 I do can milk and half & half, besides the whipping cream, but I process these the same way I shared in this video. I've got them listed in my "canning playlist". I haven't water bath canned any of them because I'm not sure of the proper time and as you said, what the end result would be. 😊

[@jacquelinelemoine8807]

I would like to know if you have canned cream cheese before. If you have can you post a video on it. If you haven’t done it before what are your thoughts about it. Like your channel a lot thanks.

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi Jacqueline. I haven't done a video on canning cream cheese, as of yet. I make sure my jars are sterilized, cube up room temp cream cheese and carefully fill my jars (smooshing the cubes down) leaving a 1" headspace. I place my jars on a baking sheet and transfer them into a warm oven so the cheese melts, adding more cheese chunks if needed. Clean rims, place lids and bands on. I WB can mine for 20 minutes. Remove from WB and allow to seal and cool. The pH level of cream cheese is at the max level to WB can. I hope this helps. 😊

I tried this and after a week or so the cream whipped up beautifully, however, I just decided to use some up after it has now been a few months and my cream is separated and a bit buttery, I tried to whip it but it turned into butter in seconds, has anyone had a similar experience, it tastes fine just the texture is disappointing.

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi Jan. That's interesting. The older my whipping cream has become, it has separated, but when I mixed mine to whip it, it whipped ok. I have been holding onto a couple of jars just to see how far out the shelf life would go before it started degrading. That would make for an interesting video for all of us. Sorry you didn't get good results.

Love it I have a question can we do ricotta cheese???? I really want to know if we can

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi Esmeralda. I'm sorry, but I'm not able to answer that being I've never tried to can it before. The pH level isn't as high as milk, but it's still up there so I wouldn't try WB canning it like sour cream or cream cheese. I'm not sure what the texture or taste would result in. 😊

[@cindland]

How did the half and half turn out? Do you have a review of that too?

[@OuttheBackDoor]

@cindland The half & half was slightly richer, the same way the canned milks get, but even though I only used pint jars, hubby isn't using it fast enough and I'm tossing part of it out. I've gone to buying him the individual pods of coffee creamer. For someone that uses a lot of creamer, it should work well. I can't give a shelf life on that though. 😊

[@tenafleming7199]

This may be a dumb question. But how do you store this once you can it? Does it need to be in a fairly cool place?

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi Tena. There's NO dumb question and I'm glad you asked as long as you weren't sure. You were correct saying dark. Any type of food that would be stored in a pantry or such, benefits by being in a dark, cool, and dry environment. My pantry is in my basement where it's naturally cooler. And there isn't any light coming in from windows. I've also got a dehumidifier running during the humid months. I hope this helps! 😊

[@Pluscelamemechose]

My foodi had brownish results. If I heat the milk/cream first, will it eliminate the caramelizing? If it's the color of lt brown sugar, that's what I put in oatmeal anyway. No one will notice.

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Pluscelamemeshose, the heat is what is causing it to turn brown and caramelize. That's why I've recommended starting at a low temp and coming up very slowly. It reduces the caramelization. There's no way of getting around it, that I've ever noticed, but it's not as bad raising the temp slowly. I don't know if there would be a way to control the temp with an electric pressure canner or not. I've never used one. I enjoy it best on cereal and oatmeal if it caramelized more than other jars because it has a slightly sweet taste to it. I am working on ditching the sweet tooth but it still follows me around! 😊

[@lynnodell347]

Have you ever canned sour cream. I made some and I found that to put it in jars use a piping bag less air in the jars.

I total newbie here I have an electric pressure canner. How would I can 18٪ cream in my Nesco 9.5 . Can I add 1 jar of cream to fill my canner when dry canning potatoes on high at 15 psi, 40 min after 10 minute vent, the slow release?

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi Joy. You don't want to actually process the whipping cream. Once you reach pressure, you would stop the process. I don't have an electric canner so I don't know if there's a cancel button or how you would stop the power, other than unplugging it, and key the pressure come down naturally then remove your jars. 😊

[@juliejohnson8096]

What is your process in bringing the temp up slowly? Last time I canned milk-I thought I was taking the heat up slowly, but my milk was beige. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi Julie. I've never gotten "pure white" milk when processing it. It's always turned a slight color. My settings on my stove top go from off to 10. I'll usually start at about a three for a little while and then bump it up to 5. It takes me a very long time to get to venting going this low of a heat but it's warming the milk up gently and slowly as not to caramelize the sugars right away. Once I've finished venting, I raise my heat to 7 and leave it there until I reach pressure. Then I turn my heat off. Again, this is a timely process especially when I'm using my AA941. It takes the big girl a while to heat up no matter what I'm processing. Your milk is still good even though it's beige. It may taste a bit sweeter. When I've heated mine too quickly and it's turned beige, I use it in my baking, cooking, and over my oatmeal because of the sweeter flavor. I don't care to drink sweet milk, myself. I hope this helps. 😊

[@pamelaj25]

Hi Mickey. I think the USDA Food Preservation experts do not do any testing anymore. This is just my opinion. However, many months ago I went to their website and emailed them a question. I was canning meatballs and wanted to know why it is not approved to add bread crumbs or any binder to them before I pressure can them. I have never heard back. I have seen many KZbin videos of home canners like you who have safely done "unapproved" methods. I think you just have to use common sense with experience.

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi Pamela. I know a retired health inspector that both he and his wife can and do unconventional canning. I asked about all the do's and don'ts. It came down to common sense AND common sense is not so common! I can my meatballs using my regular recipe. 😊

[@pamelaj25]

@@OuttheBackDoor I did can many canner loads of meatballs without the binder and was so surprised that they were so good. However, the USDA never did reply and that is when I realized that we are on our own.

[@OuttheBackDoor]

@@pamelaj25 I caught flack from quite a few when I canned ham. I asked why. Because the big boys say not to. But give me a reason why I shouldn't. Nobody would answer. Sheeple. I've been canning ham for years. I do use some binder in my meatballs. One time I had a bit too much and they somewhat broke apart after processing. They still tasted good. I think overall it's a control game of what a person can and cannot can. When I'm doing oddball foods for the first time, I research the pH level and experiment with times of processing. Some things don't work well and others are a success. I do approach canning scientifically but someone that's canning doesn't care about science, they just want to can. 😊

[@pamelaj25]

@@OuttheBackDoor I completely agree. I think the people who are canning need to learn what is approved and once the experience and knowledge is there, then venture off based on what you know. Thank you for your great videos. God Bless!

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi Elizabeth. After this is processed in the canner, it's stored in the pantry. The thick stuff on top is called "clamps" and is normal. Just shake up the jar before using. 😊

[@Sharon_K]

I’m so excited to try this! This is my first time seeing one of your videos, and I subscribed. Looking forward to viewing your other videos. Question about how much time in the canner after the 10 minute venting…I looked back at the transcript and couldn’t find the time. Thank you!

[@OuttheBackDoor]

Hi Sharon. Welcome to the channel! After venting, the amount of time to come up to pressure will depend on the size canner you are using (I use my All American 941 often) and how full your canner is. After I'm done venting, I still let the pressure come up slowly, only raising the temp to 7 or 8 out of 10. This does take a little longer but doesn't caramelize the sugars as much. No one will ever get a perfectly white colored milk once it's canned (off white is normal) but if the heat is cranked (yes, I've gotten impatient) the milk will be beige and have a sweeter taste. It's still good to use, but I personally don't care to drink sweet tasting milk. I hope this helps and happy canning. 😊

[@Sharon_K]

@@OuttheBackDoor thanks so much for responding. Forgive me…I don’t think I asked my question well. I meant after it comes up to pressure (slowly), and you start timing once it’s reached pressure-how many minutes? Thanks
