Pressure Canned Milk - SIX MONTH UPDATE | 15m Processing Time

[@yellowrose4125]

What most people dont understand is that we preserve for a lot of different reasons, I can milk for emergencies or when God for id, the grocery shelves are empty and there is no food to be found. I will be grateful to open a jar of my cream colored milk and use it for whatever I need, also thankful that I was smart enough to prepare for these hard times that is upon us. As for tasting like evaporated milk, I grew up using canned milk for everything, including using it on my cereal! I will smile every time I open a jar when there is no milk to be found or it rises to $10 a gallon.

[@allsortsMichele]

Good morning Trudy! Thanks you for sharing your perspective, I really appreciate it. We do indeed preserve for different reasons. I like that the home canned milk cream I’m using now is not the price I would be paying now. That’s just one reason! Thanks for watching 🌸

[@bofinkley]

I've been waiting for this update!!! I can my pints for 15mins and quarts for 20mins. I've only used it for cooking/baking and for hot chocolate. I absolutely love that you actually CAN the milk.

[@allsortsMichele]

Hi bofinkley! Thanks for sharing your experience with canning milk. I have never canned quarts before. I’ll have to try it with hot chocolate - how was the flavour? @HerHomsteadSkills did a video on it kzbin.info/www/bejne/j3-zhGapbtCji8k Thanks for your kind words 🌸

[@bofinkley]

@@allsortsMichele using canned milk for hot chocolate is very rich tasting! The only problem is I go thru too much of my milk stock. Hot chocolate gets too many requests. 😊

[@leteishaarrigo8586]

Is the milk whole store bought? I would want to try this with pasteurized goat milk. Thank you

[@lynntomk]

I tried this with whole milk and 1/2 percent milk, it's not for me, it tastes like evaporated milk. I'm going with the powdered whole milk for shelf stable. I'm glad it worked out for you. I like when there are tasting follow ups.

[@allsortsMichele]

Hi LT As for drinking it as is it’s not for me either. In coffee or on oatmeal is where I use it! Thanks for sharing your perspective and the kind words. Thanks for watching 🌸

[@yellowrose4125]

❤❤❤ I just opened a jar of Vitamin D milk last night that I canned in 4/2020 and it was perfect… the color looks more cream colored, like evaporated milk but the taste was the same as whole milk. I’ll can more this week! ❤

[@allsortsMichele]

Good morning Trudy! Happy Canning! I good with the taste as well tho I only really use it for coffee, hot chocolate and such ❤️Thanks for watching 💐

[@canadianhomestead5]

I have pressure canned my milk too tastes just like condensed milk bought from the store it was all used 8 months later. Truly, I have canned milk stored in the pantry but, I have Jersey Cows so It's fresh milk twice a day. So, much milk I make cheese too . Great video thanks for sharing.

[@allsortsMichele]

Greetings Canadian Homestead sounds like those Jersey Cows have you flush with milk! Indeed it has a rich flavour doesn’t it! Thank-you for the compliment and thanks for watching 🌸

[@DoctorSuezz]

I had tasted 18 months a few weeks ago and it tasted like evaporate milk. I didn't get sick!! Yayyyy... it was thick and we used it in our iced coffee. Not bad.

[@allsortsMichele]

Hi Susan 18 months that’s fantastic! Thanks so much for watching and commenting 🌸

[@nancytabor8302]

I can mine for 5 minutes at pressure. Pudding with it is amazing. Oatmeal and any thing else good too. Sweeter.

[@allsortsMichele]

Hi Nancy thanks for sharing your experience! I must give pudding a try. Thanks for watching 🌸

[@stacyberry6097]

I canned 4 gals of free milk. Cooking with it & coffee creamer is the way to go. ! Its always good to have a back up on the shelf for emergencies.

[@allsortsMichele]

Hi Stacy thanks for sharing how you use your home canned milk. Glad it was free! Thanks for watching🌸

[@alicerafferty9595]

Looks just fine. Thanks for the update. You must have the year test out buy now.😊

[@libertykatrkm]

Thank you! So precious sharing your mothers jar w us. This is so yummy. I enjoy it very much. Bless you

[@allsortsMichele]

Thanks for the kind words and thanks for watching! My mom’s jar… thanks for noticing. I’m getting loads of use out of it. ❤️

[@kristinat9888]

Very interesting. Glad that the milk was good and hope it is just as good at one year.

[@allsortsMichele]

I hope so too. Thanks for watching Kristina!🌸

[@jsmythib]

Next time I try this I want to add a drop or two of vanilla extract per jar. I have no idea if thats a good idea, or a really bad one! I also use this for mostly tea or coffee. A little vanilla to improve the flavor. Thankyou for the update.

[@allsortsMichele]

Hi Kason let us know how it works out if if you add the vanilla extract. Coffee for me I think I’m going to try it with hot chocolate! Thanks for watching Jason and you’re most welcome for the update! 🙂

[@Traumamonkey]

I was very curious about that jar. Very cool!

I did a batch approximately 14 mths ago...The process was for ten minutes. I have not tried it as yet. Thanks for sharing.

Love square jars! Wish they were all square save room! I would love to can milk, but my husband uses it on his cereal, I know he couldn't use it. Coffee wise, oh yeah. If you added water when you open, do you think more like regular milk? I'm curious.

[@allsortsMichele]

Hi LjT thanks for watching! I wish I had more square pint sized jars. I certainly treasure this one. I don’t think adding water would work. The processing affects the taste - a tad sweet. Give canning milk a try for your coffee! Who knows, your hubby may end up liking it! Thanks for watching and commenting!

[@ljtminihomestead5839]

@@allsortsMichele Thank you Michelle for your input! I have few Mason qt square jars that I was gifted, favorite jars.

[@gma56]

Could you add vanilla to make like a French vanilla creamer?

[@hotliks40]

I'm planning on doing it..we have 2 jerseys in calf..plan on using on cereal..heard its a little sweeter. Suits me fine

[@maxieone7358]

Thanks for sharing the time you pressure canned a lot of the videos I’ve watched are not saying how long they pressure canned it.

[@allsortsMichele]

Good morning Maxie One you are most welcome! Thanks for watching!

A of Jan 16, 2025 the world has gone mad and all food is in short supply including dairy. I ferment my milk to make kefir which is life saving for me and my health issues. I canned 27 gallons in 1/2 gallon jars and Im gonna' keep canning it forever. I also buy boxed shelf stable Parmalat in a box and...I have powdered whole milk too. It's all good. I have started to use my powdered milk as I have 25 lbs of it. I mix 1/2 fresh milk and 1/2 powder for my fermentation to make kefir. The best is using fresh but I have to keep my preps in current use.

[@allsortsMichele]

You have some great tips here. I also make milk kefir. Thanks for sharing Kelly 🙂

[@maryreed2619]

It's amazing Michele.🌷

[@allsortsMichele]

Hi Mary I totally agree and thanks for the kind words and your support 🌸

Great use for coffee. Very interesting. Yeah 15 min seems pretty safe

I been wondering I do have some been sitting for a bit.

[@allsortsMichele]

Hi Judy i believer this is the longest I have kept the home canned milk on the shelf. I will do a one year update as well. Thanks for your interest and dropping a comment 🌸

[@lyndabuchholz1216]

Does it taste similar to store bought canned milk? Mom canned milk when I was a kid. She had a cookbook with the recipe for canning. She said she didn't like the taste of it but it worked fine for cooking.

[@allsortsMichele]

Hi Lynda thanks for the question. The only canned milk I have tasted is evaporated milk. This certainly tastes similar but of course evaporated would be thicker. Thanks for watching 🌸

[@gma56]

Could you add stuff to make it a french vanilla creamer? Also, could you do with lactose free milk?

[@allsortsMichele]

Greetings Amelia I have never tried either so I can’t speak to that. Perhaps another viewer can weigh in on your questions. I thank you for watching🌸

[@monkeeblue]

I have some of those BOCAL jars! Bought them a loooong time ago ;) I've been brave enough to do ghee but I've not worked up the nerve to try milk. Just opened a jar of ghee I canned in November and it's lovely and fresh tasting. Amazing for frying things like potatoes or pierogi.

[@allsortsMichele]

Hi monkeeblue you’ll be happy you did can the ghee! I was walking through Walmart today and saw some for $28 or so. It looked like it may have been a half gallon size I’m not 100% sure tho. Thanks for watching 🌸

[@allsortsMichele]

I’m glad you have some of the Bocal jars. I don’t know how old this one is but I sure do treasure it!

[@lesleyhoban6559]

Mine doesn't seem as creamy as yours .. used whole from store 15min pc ... perhaps the brand of milk ...love having home canned it has saved us a few times this winter.. mother nature kept slamming us ..I'll experiment with different beans to see if different

[@allsortsMichele]

Hi Lesley thanks for sharing your experience with it! It is certainly great to have on hand that’s for sure! Thanks for watching 🌸

[@yahushaismyshepherd1179]

I have not pressure canned milk yet. How long have you kept it on the shelf and it remained stable? I understand you are keeping one to taste at the year mark. But wondering if you have tasted other canned milk past the six month point. Thank you for the video 🙌🤲🙏💞🇨🇦

[@allsortsMichele]

HimGod’s Alberta Patriot! Six months is the longest I’ve kept it on the shelf so I thought I would waive viewers an update by doing this video! I hope to do a video with a jar from this batch at the 1 year point. Thanks for watching 🌸

I would really like to can heavy whipping cream,. We've been very healthy, on Ketogenic lifestyle, 4 yrs now, and I use a lot of cream. Do you think it's possible?

[@allsortsMichele]

Hi Wildflower glad to hear the keto lifestyle is working for you 🌸 I think it’s very possible to can the heavy cream. I’ve never done it though. If I were to I wouldn’t do the 15m processing time info for milk. Thanks for watching 🌸

[@firetoy911]

i am wondering if instead of padteurizing raw milk if i can just can milk by the quart..

[@allsortsMichele]

I'm not an expert but I don't see why not. However I will qualify that by saying that I have never canned raw milk as I have no access to it. And as you know this is not approved lol. Thanks for watching and taking the time to comment 🙂

[@sugarhudson4731]

good day ! just wondering your thoughts on canning milk in 250 ml jars I hate wasting thank you you for you thoughts and ideas

Hi Sugar! I think what ever floats your boat! That said, the pints of milk disappear quickly in our household! Thanks for watching 🤩

Was this raw milk are pasteurized 4% milk?

Hi Billy this was 2%. Thanks for watching🙂
