Preserving Food in August | Every Bit Counts Challenge

[@michelebrady3612]

I found your channel last night and binged for hours. Your voice is so welcoming

[@lynnebrown-hardy1566]

I have never canned before but really want to try my hand at it. How exciting it must be to know you have 14 meals basically done for your family.

[@veronicavatter6436]

Start out with a jam! If it doesn't set well you can use it on ice cream!

[@robinsilver8934]

I wish my tomatoes were coming in now. We had such a cool June that mine are behind. I’m loving all your beautiful produce!! Also I dehydrate the tomato skins and powder them. They’re so great in a million ways!

[@janicebattle6456]

Those onions are something to be proud of. They never get that big or looks so good in my garden. We live on the coast just about 100 miles above Sydney, Australia and the weather, in the summer is humid and can be hot but mostly bearable. Our gardens need watering every day usually but we do get rain during all the seasons. Never has my husband or his father produced such wonderful looking onions like yours. They are wonderful. I have never tried Okra, it is not a popular vegetable here and have only seen it more recently. I am told it is very slimy and this has turned me off it, what kind of flavour does Okra have and what type of use do you put them to.

[@6Heartson6Acres]

It does have a sliminess to it if not cooked correctly. My favorite way is picked okra. You should try it, it's easy to grow and delicious!

[@threerivershomestead]

I really enjoyed this! Thank you 😊

[@6Heartson6Acres]

Thank you so much for creating this challenge, I love all of the ideas from other creators!

[@iartistdotme]

Hello you make pressure canning look so easy. I have never tried it but it looks like one can do a lot of things with pressure canning. Thank you so much for sharing. Have a wonderful evening.

[@6Heartson6Acres]

You can do it!

[@marieparks5674]

I used to do all that but cannot do it now. I really miss my garden. But, I sure do enjoy yours.

[@6Heartson6Acres]

Glad to be able to share it with you!

[@kimberlyearly8918]

You got a lot done and then had friends over! Wow! I've never used my pressure canner but will have to soon. I need to can some meat to clear some space in my freezer. I'm a bit nervous about it. You're wearing another shirt I love with the chickens!

[@6Heartson6Acres]

You should pull it out and try it! Once you do it a few times, you won't be nervous! My shirt is from the love in faith website.

[@kimberlyearly8918]

@@6Heartson6Acres I’m gonna have to put on my big girl pants and just do it lol. I’m gonna check out the shirt! Thanks!

[@pamelacox6034]

I’m proud of you too. You are a delight to watch.

[@lindagailsch]

Very inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

[@6Heartson6Acres]

Thanks for watching!

[@chantal3172]

I have never canned potato soup so will be trying that one today. Thank you so much for sharing with us.

[@6Heartson6Acres]

You are so welcome!

[@beverlymartin1751]

You should make some minced garlic since you love garlic! I would save you some time…😇 Also…. Just an fyi…. If you keep onions in fridge they won’t make you cry when you chop them. Someone told me that and I now keep mine in fridge.

[@6Heartson6Acres]

Thanks for the tip! I definitely need to make some minced garlic, that would be such a time saver!

[@teresawebster3498]

You should be proud! I am enjoying your video, thank you.

[@maryellensunflowergirl8132]

Great job. I know your proud.

[@PatMcGuriman]

Well you make Pressure Canning look easy. I am new this is my 2nd video, and I think I need that Ball Canning Book. Maybe then I won't be afraid of killing myself or someone else. Born and raised in Inner city poor but moved to the country farm land and support only my local farmers. I can get bulk anything from them. My Butcher will prepare anything I need. Next purchase must be a food processor, I only have a mini as I am 1 person, but I give to everyone. Thank you.

[@marieparks5674]

I used to can but am 78 now and limited. Pressure canning is very easy if you just pay attention. Go by the ball book until you get a feel for it. Then enjoy.

[@neppieb]

Just found you channel today. Love the looks of all your jars. Could you tell me how you use the tomato and okra and the carrot, potato and onions. I guess it's like a soup starter.

[@6Heartson6Acres]

It's tomato, okra, and pepper. I'll serve it over rice with smoked sausage. The potato carrot and onion is a potato soup. I'll heat and blend with milk and cheese, maybe add ham or bacon.

[@juliesavva2999]

Hello, I just found your channel a new subscriber, I was just wondering what kind of pressure canner you have, it looks so simple to use at the moment I only do water bath canning, so saving for a pressure canner. Loving your videos keep them coming.

[@6Heartson6Acres]

It's a presto, from Walmart.

[@sparkle_shimmerwithtammiblair]

Also, may I ask what kind of hot water bath pot you’re using to can with on your flat top stove? I have a flat top stove too, and I was always told I couldn’t can on it so I stopped canning because the way I had was not easy for me on a little bitty countertop cook thing so I don’t do it anymore, but I so miss it.

[@6Heartson6Acres]

Definitely look at your manufacturer paperwork, some glass tops do say they aren't suitable for canning. I just use a granite wear one from Walmart.

[@sparkle_shimmerwithtammiblair]

May I ask what a Cocomelon is . I’ve never heard of that

[@6Heartson6Acres]

Cucuamelon - they are a small, almost lime flavored, super crunchy cucumber.
