Preserving Food Every Day ~

[@melindawargowsky8176]

Typically, when I vacuum seal wetter foods, I put them in the vacuum bag and directly into the freezer. I seal them the next day when the moisture is solid 😊. Works great!

[@TJ-8]

Warms my heart that my daughter is now canning food for her 10 month baby and her husband. She knows the importance of fresh home grown food because she was raised that way. And now days its so important to know where your food comes from and what is in it. Even if you do not have a garden, support your Farmers Markets and local farmers and preserve it.

[@makeishiagrant5602]

As Always much Love from Okc ❤ I'm having a 2nd pancreas surgery Aug 11th so I've been canning Alot and dehydrating some things to make space in freezer. I will be in hospital for a month so everyone(hubby& 20yr son) is wanting pizza and burritos for convenience😂 while I'm away. Everyone please keep me in your thoughts and Prayers please and Thanks as well🙏🏽🙏🏽

[@virginiaallisonpeck2517]

Love and prayers ❤️🙏🏼❤️🌻

[@heatherk8931]

❤💫 Prayers that your surgery goes very well and you have a quick and complete recovery. January 2012 I had the Whipple procedure due to stage three pancreatic and common bile duct cancers, then followed by chemo. The Lord God Almighty graced me with recovery, survival and gratitude. I live a humbled life as your eyes are wide open after such things. ( the 1% at this time) We are definitely not in control ❤. Love and light, and a big hug to you💫🥰☝️

[@glendaharding4884]

You are in my prayers, good luck with the surgery!

[@kelly-annejenner486]

I love the cosy mornings in the winter snuggled up having that first cup of tea in peace, quiet and just reflecting on how blessed I am with my little family and what the coming day will bring. But there is something for being up and out in the garden with the birds singing and everything waking up and coming to life as the sun warms everything up and you remember there’s even more reasons you’re blessed. It was lovely little John coming and finding you, getting to spend some time just with him before the house wakes up. Life really is just beautiful 😊

[@judithbutler9695]

I pay a lot for those tiny potatoes! They are called gourmet at my store! Good for you 👏🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻❤️👍

[@tncutt7369]

I used peach peels and seeds to make peach jelly. I also used some leftover peach cider to make jelly. 8 pints in all.

[@mollykuslikis6007]

I loved it when you said that you do a small amount of preserving everyday. Ive been doing that now and it works great❤ I have been drying herbs, making pickles and freezing blueberries. Quick projects and not overwhelming. Thank you for the advice.

[@christyjohnson6967]

Another beautiful day at your lovely farm. You get soooooo much done in a day, Jessica!

[@carolsmith2603]

I hesitated buying ForJars because they were a bit more expensive. So I got some from the store. Only about 90% of my lids sealed. I broke down and bought ForJars and my next project saw 100% sealed! I'm hooked!

[@threerivershomestead]

They truly are the best lids!

[@laurarazvan33]

Hello there, I started preserved red peppers,eggplant and I made strawberry jam, apricots jam and peaches. A lot of work and time. Thank you for inspiration.

[@debwiley3914]

Good morning Jessica! This week I've preserved spearmint tea x2, made cherry jelly from pits (ala Meg Hollar), made cherry preserves, dried lavender tea, and canned 15 pints of peaches for winter eating. I still have 2 pecks of peaches sitting on the kitchen floor to be preserved. Most of those will be made into pie filling probably tomorrow. Because of your encouragement, even on the days I have zero spoons left, I'm harvesting herbs to dry for winter tea. My garden this year is NOT producing - other than herbs - so I've had to purchase ingredients with which to can. I was glad to see your proportions in making your (instant) beef stew. That is one of the foods my sons truly enjoy, and I typically can all of the stew meat immediately when my cow arrives, making it an easy meal to prepare through the winter. As you worship this morning, I would solicit your prayers, as I'm expecting an ugly confrontation around noon. I've gotten 3.5 hours of sleep, which is not optimal, as lack of rest typically brings on migraine or other health issues.

[@SophialifeandAdamlife]

I don't have room for corn, I have a sack full that I'm taking time to can. 😊

[@sandrafishman6588]

I hope that you are able to get through your confrontation at noon. Said a couple of prayers for you.

[@virginiaallisonpeck2517]

❤️🎚🕊❤️🙏🏼❤️. I hope all is well. Love is always the answer. Blessings ❤❤❤

[@heatherk8931]

[@utopicconfections5257]

Thank you for sharing. I've been able to preserve something every day this month. Today - green beans and teaching friends from church how to make pickles. It will be a great day!

[@michelleparks4582]

As YT cycles your vids, I have missed lots of preparation videos like this. Sure have missed yours!! There is something so satisfying about feeding your family well. ❤

[@denisekimble60]

I just saw a bag of 1.5 pounds of little potatoes for $3.45,so you got yourself a great haul!

[@marshakulakowski1588]

Brilliant to use a cheese slicer to thinly slice the zucchini! I will try it.

[@Cindyscrossstitch]

I have been canning tomatoes. It's a lot of work. In the winter months so rewarding.🌻🌻

[@angelacox6105]

I am trying to do this challenge also. So far, today being the 8th I have preserved figs two ways, tomatoes 5 ways, Butterbeans frozen, okra canned, carrots canned and frozen banana peppers. 😍

[@kentuckynanasaves1903]

[@knotqueen2419]

Again I have been inspired. I water-bathed jarred tomotoes and tomato juice today. Your videos are a "kick in the butt" to get me going. Best

[@amandapatterson9182]

An abundant week for you! Thank you for always sharing your knowledge and ideas! We down sized our garden this year due to season of life plus planted very late so our harvest is just getting ready to be ready. We did get an abundant of zucchini this week so I made Mock Pineapple with it. First time making that and it turned out delicious! We purchased our plants from 3 sources this year and have discovered a lot of mix up plants. For example half of the "romas" ended up being cherry tomatoes. I bought jalepenos and cheynne peppers but none of the plants turned out to be that. No idea what hot peppers we ended up with. We've never had this issue before. Happy Sunday and have a blessed week!

[@virginiaallisonpeck2517]

I think I’m buying seeds from bear creek for autumn and next spring. Hopefully I can get what I ordered and it will be fruitful?❤🕊🎚🇺🇸

[@teresabrewer2661]

And yes Jessica, I'm from the UK and you did say Worcestershire sauce properly 🎉🎉🎉

[@bettyhollingsworth907]

Hi Jessica I still can even now it is only me . When I come home from work and I can just grab what I want off the shelf. Yes old habits are hard to break now my family is grown. Blessings to you and your family❤

[@aramintaverwys1934]

Hi Jessica!! Good Sunday Morning to you! Thank you for all you do. Your videos are such a relaxing time for me. I get "my" time every Sunday, and now, Wednesday!!! Sending love and prayers your way. Your Michigan Fan and Friend Araminta 😊😊❤❤

[@lethaharris8120]

Thank you Jessica I don’t know if you realize how inspiring you are to us !!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️! !

[@ejuran2661]

First time seeing one of your videos. It popped up as a recommendation. Enjoyed and plan on watching more. Must confess the name caught my eye as my husband is from the Three Rivers area of Pittsburgh. Not sure if that is where you are or not. I have him living in the south now out of the cold and snow. Thank you for sharing your harvest and how you preserve it.

[@coeja73]

haaa! Your "little" harvests would be a pure success in my garden!

[@jbkmkz]

I didn't know you could can baby potatoes like that. Thank you for the idea. We always have some when we pull potatoes.

[@sarahkendall8441]

Another great video Jessica! This week I've done peach preserves and peach butter, dried lots of herbs, froze my onion harvest, started almond extract, and canned chicken broth. Today planning to get tomato sauce, 2 kinds of salsa, and corn on the shelves!

[@forrestgump9576]

Helpful hints for your spuds and peppers. I have used Patara's at Appalachia's Homestead tomato fertilizer for the last 4 years and have had amazing results in my raised beds. One year, I harvested 60 lbs of Roma tomatoes from one 4x8 raised bed. I spot treat the plants in the holes I transplant in. And top dress the soil once a month during growth. Potatoes are heavy phosphorus feeders. Maybe consider treating your soil with a 0-24-24 fertilizer? Or supplementing the soil in the fall or winter with natural sources. I also mix in Epson salts into the soil. I save all of my egg shells year round, heat them on a cookie tray in the oven at 200° and pulverize in a food processor. Makes a great calcium soil additive. Best of blessings for your garden!🥰

[@madmecyr]

I'm going to start canning my itty bitty potatoes into stew like you did. I always have beef in the freezer to use up too.

[@Freedom-sg1bs]

You are so industrious! You are a wonderful mother!

[@colinbala]

Love how organized you are. You are so blessed to have your kids around and raise them at home. Public school is a no, no now days. Be blessed my friend!

[@lindarichey4689]

Love my powdered tomatoes! Great for tomato sauce, tomato paste, tomato soup!

[@kawaiigamergirl2584]

I lost my dad last week and I'm struggling mentally and physically please pray for me

[@threerivershomestead]

God bless you 🙏

[@Alou1]

I lost my Mom May. It's hard. I will pray for you. God bless.

[@wilmabaker4500]

I always when bell peppers are on sale I will but up some ,slice and freeze them .That way I have them on hand when I need them

[@janicekern5318]

Thank you. I am behind, I haven't preserved every day, but I have gotten some meat and broth canned as well as some eggs In the freeze dryer, and a couple dry soup mixes. My garden isn't really producing right now. Gotta get new plants in there and maybe add some compost from my pile. Sadly I think I will have to buy tomatoes again this year, but hopefully my onion harvest will be good! Lol starting a month late sure makes a difference

[@theresasovacool2332]

Just want to say thanks for the inspiration. I’m enjoying finding ways to preserve what I have as well as making future meals easier. This last week I dehydrated zucchini shreds, froze 2 bags of diced tomatoes, made 2 pints of pear sauce, and vacuum sealed 4 batches of dry ingredients for cornbread. (I just remembered - and a pint of dill relish! Really excited about that one!) Not a huge pile, but as you say, better some than none!

[@katharvey7324]

I also have a freeze dryer and I’ve done dozens and dozens of eggs. A trick to make them reconstitute better is to add salt to them before putting in the freeze dryer. Phil and 4800 feet has a great video explaining why. It’s worth the watch.

[@sandrafishman6588]

Spent yesterday canning sweet hot peppers (although I didn't have nearly enough) and then decided to make crushed tomatoes. Going to work in my garden this morning. Should be harvesting my last row of potatoes and seeing how many more peppers I have. I really enjoy these videos and reading the comments about preserving. Zucchini was coming in well so I shredded the large ones the other day and will be making zucchini crab cakes (no crab) and chocolate zucchini bread later in the week. Have a wonderful and productive week.

[@wingmom2019]

I ❤ mock crab cakes using shredded zucchini!! Put away a ton of freezer bags just for that purpose. A bit of old bay and roumalade, you can't even tell it's not crab

[@heatherk8931]

Oooo! That sounds yummy! I became allergic to crab in my 20s😢, but still would love to try your recipe! I even have Old Bay in my spices ❤

[@sandrafishman6588]

If you look up the recipe for Connie's Zucchini Crab Cakes, you should find a few renditions of it. I have a salt restriction so I have to make a saltless Old Bay Seasoning that I also found online and changed the celery salt to celery seed. It works well for me. I do peel and deseed my zucchini first though as the larger zucchini (the size of my arm)can be rather tough. @@heatherk8931

[@Bobbijart444]

My potatoes didn't flower either this year!! And they are completely dieing back! I need to get hubby out there digging😅 but I can't say I've had too much success when it comes to potatoes anyway!!! I also just invested in a new dehydrator because mine kicked the bucket unfortunately so I really can't wait for it to show up so I can start drying some of my herbs!!! ❤ All my love!! Can't wait to see you next time!!!

[@monicaordway9802]

I canned my first batch of tomatoes. First time canning and I felt so accomplished!

[@littlehomesteadontheprairie]

Hello Miss Jessica. What a great week of preserving! Thank you for serving us with inspiration and encouragement. Serving and Preserving! -K

[@sondrajohnson1605]

I have taken on the your challenge, I dont have a lot to put away some days, but 1 cup of blackberries is better then nothing. Every little bit counts, they will taste really good in the middle of winter

[@glendaharding4884]

Good afternoon my dear friend, you continue to have an abundant and fruitful garden! I love how your children are always involved in whatever you are doing, so sweet! Oh my, Hannah is loving the mashed potatoes - what a doll she is!! Until Wednesday my dear.

[@sherihicks1427]

It has been a disappointing year for tomatoes for us. I don't believe I'll have enough to can. The plants didn't grow much. A few didn't even set fruit. Jalapeños are going crazy. I have a couple green peppers--but the plants are beautiful😂 I have only harvested 3 zucchini! Plenty of pattypan squash and big cucumbers, oh my goodness! I didn't get the bug netting over my cabbages, so most are eaten up. There are a few small ones I'll use, though. I dug a few potatoes out, and they're good, but small. The rest are ready to be dug. Laying out my fall/winter garden. My husband and I are going to put up a hoop house, and hopefully a cold frame. Blessings!

[@elizabethlink3993]

💚 Another busy and fruitful week, Jessica! Hannah is growing so fast..she's loving the mashed potatoes. 💚

[@greatdiscoveries2014]

I'm so excited my freeze drier will be here this week, just in time. 😊

[@sheilabundren2037]

Great idea with the beef stew canning. Looks delicious. Have a great rest of the week. Hannah is so adorable. She's getting so big fast.

[@AtHomeWithSheree]

Wow, you got a great selection of items put up. I will do the freeze dried long slices of zucchini this week-like that idea. I will be pulling meets from the freezer next week for a canning session. Thanks again for the great inspiration!

[@elizaC3024]

My potatoes did not flower either, so I guess it's the year of strange gardening. I will dig mine this week, and get them put up. Thank you.

[@futurefolk9919]

I make my beef stew almost exactly the way you do. I do add a heaping spoonful of tomato paste to each jar. Tomatoes are a natural tenderizer and he's to make the meat more tender. I think you'll find you like it if you want to give it a try. Actually beef stew was the very first thing I ever pressure canned. My husband looked at me with scepticism 🙄 but after trying it he now says he doesn't want beef stew any other way😁💞

[@tammymanuel9158]

Good morning. This challenge is so fun fun to watch to see what you can do on a daily basis. Such good ideas. 💜 I am also watching Sara @Living Traditions Homestead. Shes been making salsa and preserving peppers. Her greenhouse garden is amazing. You ladies are so blessed with an abundance in your gardens. God bless you guys. 🙏🏻💜

[@sew_So_beautiful]

We puree up our tomatoes and can them every year. Then we use them as tomato juice to drink or to add to recipes throughout the year. We love it. I also boil it down for pasta sauce, pizza sauce, and ketchup and can them too. We used to remove the skins first, or put them through a juicer, but it seamed so wasteful. And those nutrients may as well be in us rather than in the compost.

[@aprilmapp3140]

THANK YOU VERY INTERESTING JOHN WAS VERY HAPPY HELPING YOU.X

[@kittyrichards9915]

Any time you deviate from approved/tested canning procedures, I would appreciate if you would state that. I deviate very, very little and want to know up front. Thanks! Yesterday 4 quarts green beans, 20 pints diced and 7 qts diced tomatoes. Incredibly tired, but I have pizza sauce cooking down in the roaster today.

[@melaniedingman2541]

I love these videos, especially the speed chopping.😊

[@playcolumbus2413]

Our potatoes did the exact same thing this year. We're probably 4hrs west of you. I wonder if it was also weather related this year!

[@donnam9066]

I’ve been enjoying all your videos! Thank you for this #everybitcounts challenge! So far I’ve dehydrated plums, mangoes, and pineapple, and also made Orange Cranberry Sauce with frozen cranberries I had in my freezer since the holidays!

[@joannbutts8064]

Love your videos that motivate us Jessica. I'm preserving everyday also. I've been canning pasta sauce, tomato juice, black berries, and Sauerkraut, then dehydrated zucchini, cherry tomatoes, Make pesto and dried basil so far this month. Trying to do a little bit everyday of this challenge. I have a big bucket of sauerkraut working in a food grade 5 gallon bucket, that I'll check on tomorrow. Busy month but glad my garden is about done for this year. Lots of stuff in freezer, and I need to do a pull and make a double canning of vegetable soup. All will be good for the winter months. You are an amazing woman Jessica, I know Adam and your babies are so proud of you. Have a blessed day.

[@regularmompantrylife2587]

The same thing happened to most of my potatoes too. I saw one plant flower and it immediately died. I blamed our super wet weather here in Vermont.

[@chris4370]

Thats a good idea with the carrots, you cant beat the taste of a homegrown carrot! Well, maybe tomatoes!

[@Sourdough_sophie]

Living in an HOA means having chickens and eggs is not in my current range but it's a dream that I hope comes true soon. These are some really good tips especially as I can garden and can use the other preservation tips.

[@carolynsinyard1306]

You really know how to inspire others and I thank you for it. Have a blessed day.

[@kedeglow2743]

Good morning Jessica and Family! Thank you for sharing another inspirational video! This week I canned 20 qts and 14 pints of tomato sauce, and did a lot of work cleaning up the yard and garden. I've got another 22 qt stock pot of tomato sauce waiting to be canned today I also picked and processed another bushel of corn, although the chickens got a fair bit of it because after months of drought we've gotten 7 inches of rain in the past two weeks, and some of the corn soured. This coming week I'm hoping to get fall beets planted, as well as dehydrating some of the end of the summer tomatoes, and dehydrating caramelized onions from the garden.

[@cephalopodx7587]

These videos are so encouraging! Thank you Jessica. I am the only person I know who is preserving food and this is like a little encouragement when I really need it.

[@daniellenelson3235]

This is my first year trying to preserve i havent mastered an item a day 😅 but today I did can beautiful tomatoes for the first time! 😊

[@cecilesmith5688]

i came across you last year at this time and hopped onto the challenge 2 weeks in and stayed with it through the second week in September. Both big and little projects. So far I have gotten multiple canning days of dilly beans and regular beans and pesto and red pasta sauce and dried herbs etc. Also, all my 350 heads of garlic and onions all stored away. You are an encourager Jessica and I appreciate that. Will be pulling those chuck roasts out this week and canning stew!!! Blessings...Cecile

[@robertaorres8019]

My grandchildren all loved mashed potatoes! When they started eating table food and vegetables fork mashed on our plates. My daughter said my grandson would not eat peas. My other daughter thought she could get him to eat them. So she buried A pea in the mashed potatoes Joe ate right away. Well Joe promptly opened his mouth dumping all the potatoes and one pea off his tongue. Again……with the same results! Next time Joe would not eat the spoon of potatoes! Next time we had potatoes we ate a vegetable Joe liked, wax beans! We learned a lesson in trust and always offering food the children could see and pray they would soon come to eat and like even peas. Joe, now married and serving our nation in the Navy still will not eat peas.

[@scenteddragronflywithmichelle]

I'm 37 and I still won't eat peas it's one of the few I wouldn't eat as a child so my mom didn't force me to eat them.

[@leanneg4040]

Yes, "Wusster-sheer", great job 😅 (the "u" is a short "oo", for example "book"). But I much prefer the endearing American version "Worster-shire" and "War-sesster-shire".

People that are allergic to chicken eggs can usually do duck eggs and the reason for this is chicken eggs are acidic and duck eggs are alkaline. Love the freeze dryer.

[@tanyabriggs8969]

I lost sooooo much food during 2 disasters using Mylar system put in totes. Everything in Mylar AND buckets or jars and cans survived. Both disasters happened during a winter where there was no one on property. RATS took over our 2 door metal garage/barn with concrete floors AND tons of shelves, also with the totes. 2nd disaster was even worse. Had a well house on other end of property with a loft above and racks of storage buckets, jars, cans. Put totes with mylar bags stacked up in the loft. Not ideal due to heat rising BUT we are very cool 10-11 months of year. The well blew out. Blew hole thru the wall 15 foot from well. FOR months this was spewing water. When I arrived at remote property...Yikes. Well house was STILL 2-3 ft of water inside. Well was on top of a hill. Everything was not only wet but growing mushrooms. Never seen a bare spot on any surface without fungus. The light bulbs and rafters had mushrooms dripping. It was completely ruined. Only thing worth trying to save was jars and buckets. But it was mystery what would be inside till scrubbed of the slime. Food for at least a year for 10-12 people. Lost.

[@tanyabriggs8969]

And they were the heavy Mylar that supposedly you could stack in milk crates. Uhhh we put in totes for extra security. Rats chewed into corners believe it or not THEN into the Mylar. They had likely 6 months to work on it. They really liked refried beans. 🙄
