Pressure Canning Carrots Step by Step

Thank you for showing this canner. I have ordered it in case i need some quart size. You have been such a blessing to me. I can not lift the heavy stove top canners anymore and was freezing everything. Its not the solution for long term. I can with confidence now use an electric canner with my disability. Thank you.

[@itzzbarb]

I am right there with you. Since it is just me, no children or grandkids, I went with the IPot Max which cans pints. I can't lift anything heavy either and am getting ready to next week begin my canning journey. Did you see Dr. Pam's video on water canning citrus? I got a bag of Cuties and have the little 4oz jars..nothing like a Cutie in a little jar. lol Then I will move on to canning ground beef, soups and stews.

[@susanbell7252]

@@itzzbarb i will look for that video. My grandson eats all his cuties so fast. He is so excited i showed him his own cutie tree today. I have been experimenting with seeds in my grow closet and the cutie seeds came up fast and so far so healthy looking. As he grows i figure his mom will need some quarts of some things and she helps me so much. Its a blessing to make them food they can fix quick. His favorite right now is my bbq but he says he does not eat animals he loves animals. Lol

I'm not new to canning but I sure learn a lot watching your great videos.

I love your channel, I just cammed 20 pints of carrots I won't live long enough to eat all these carrots , my husband said we can leave them in the will for the kids...LOL... however it's great fun my eyes were bigger than my purchase, however it all ok, I canned with my grandmother and my mother, I am now 78 years old and I just started chatting again and it's been great fun there's just my husband and me at home now the kids are gone. I've canned green beans, corn, vegetable soup, chili, spaghetti sauce. I made apple pie filling etc. It has been great fun; I usually don't can this amount of one product however as I said my purchase was bigger than my eyes. Thank you so much for the time you have taken to protect us and given us the insight and knowledge on how the process is secure and safe. I canned years ago, number I only had a water bath canner, and I did do some things that I've heard other people say we’re not safe. I think some are still doing. I’ve process green beans without pressure canning and various other vegetables, well I still here… however I do respect the fact that now there's more data to provide us with, safe processing, again thank you so much... have a great holiday and I will continue watching so please continue.

I’m curious, after using the Nesco for a year, how has it worked in the longterm ? Is that the only kind you’ve used or have you tried other kinds of pressure canner cookers …. ?

[@DeeDeeDIY]

Carrots are pretty easy to do. Raw pack is the way to go. They make a colorful addition to your shelves and your meals. They are great for adding to soups and stews and a great addition to may meals. You can season them any way you want after you open. Very versatile.

[@shalom1688]

God Bless You Pam - I sincerely mean that, God Bless you and your gadget! I love you. I am 67 yrs old and have faithfully cared for my family for the past 42 years. I live in rural North Central Ohio, USDA Hardiness Zone 5a (lake effect snow). One power outage lasted for 13 days, but for the most part, the common outage is about 24 hrs or less. We heat with propane and have a portable generator that allows us to heat our home, run our well, keep my refrigerator, a small chest freezer, and operate my propane stove/oven. I am greatful. When this pandemic hit and I felt the food shortages, my son built me beautiful raised bed gardens, and with my stimulous money I purchased a Nesco food dehydrator and a Nesco Smart Canner. I love my dehydrator so much, I purchased a 2nd one. But, never having canned, and depending on the technology, I was still nervous about using it.I followed the directions exactly used only USDA approved canning recipes. Out of fear (food safety) I could not bring myself to put in on my families plate until I saw your "TESTING" of this canner, and this one on carrots. Carrots are a family staple and were sooo hard to get. God Bless You. It was your "teaching" explaination and your "step by step" demonstration that have allowed me to better care for my family. I am so grateful to you, and your faithful cameraman. May God Bless and Keep you. Sincerely

Thank you! Canned carrots are SO pretty. I agree that is often less trouble and easier cleanup to just slice many vegetables with a good knife and cutting board rather than to use a food processor. I canned ten pounds of carrots last month (first time), some plain and some glazed. I've enjoyed the glazed ones as a side dish, and I added a jar of plain carrots (and a jar of my canned potatoes) to a pot of stew last week. Very convenient!

I thought I might try a carrot, onion, turnip, potato combo. I guess I would have to add that jar after cooking the beef and then heat through? I'm thinking they would be too mushy otherwise.

woohoo I finally was able to get a Nesco 9.5 qt canner (they have been sold out for about a year or so). We now have solar power so thought this canner would be a welcome addition especially in the hot summer months - when solar energy is plentiful. I have two All American canners which I love, but they are big and heavy and processing time is a big factor both coming up to pressure and down as well. not having to be at stovetop for extended periods is an added benefit. Thanks for all your knowledge and energy and for Jim's great videoing (and shopping). I will can up some carrots for my test batch as well 😀

After checking online I realized that hot bath is not the proper way to put up green beans. Thank you my sweet lady for your great videos. So my dear husband says to me….you should have got a canner like you were saying and we could have put them up…..I tell him I am still doing research…but am secretly so happy and I do want to get the canner you are using today. Now I know I could have put them up raw, and had a question on salt or no salt, onions or no onions or/and celery. Since there is just the 2 of us the Nesco would be fine for us.

Terrific I am doing my first canning ever today and I have carrots in the canner. I really appreciate your help with all this. Thank you so much.

You are not the only one who isn't fond of peeling carrots. There is such a mess of peels, dirt and staining juice to clean up after. One year when I was about 11 we were given, at least, 2 bushes of carrots because we came home from school one day, Mom was a teacher, to find the ringer washer full of carrots nicely peeled and ready to drain. Mom must have said something to Dad earlier about the chore. Well. . . Mom neatly died and there was no thank you in her heart. Her only thought was "we no longer had a washing machine because how could all of that crud be cleaned out of the machine without it destroying the pump and/or motor in the process?" Each parent went their separate ways and we kids disappeared. I don't know what happened but at the next laundry day, out came the ringer washer and all went well. That machine was still going 10 years later - and it was probably 20 yrs old when the carrot debacle happened. Peeling carrots always brings this to mind. Obviously, I'll never forget it. I don't think my Mom or Dad ever did either. And the carrots? They turned out beautifully but the ringer washer was never used for anything but laundry ever again. Still my Dad thought it was a great idea. - No harm No Fowl, I guess. Think of all of those ringer washers out there rotting in junk yards across the globe. Chuckle Chuckle Chuckle.

Again, such a great video Pam and Jim!! I just bought a nesco and am going to begin with carrots! Thank you!

[@pennymccarty8956]

I am one of those beginning canners of whom you speak. I have been hesitant to get started, but watching your videos has given me the confidence to get started. I,myself, am an analyst, so I truly appreciate all of the testing and education you have provided. I have my USDA book, canning jars and lids, canning tools, and my Nesco 9.5 qt Smart Canner arrives today! Charge!

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Penny: Wonderful! We hear you. Let us know about your successes with your canning. Jim

[@pennymccarty8956]

I just finished my first round of canning carrots! I am so stoked.. Had to use half pint jars because I didn’t have pint jars when I thought I did. But that’s OK, because my husband doesn’t really care much for carrots. There is a lot of liquid in the jars and I have attributed that to the carrot slices being so big in diameter, resulting in too much space between the carrots. So, I cut them in half and did a better job of packing. Second batch is in the canner now! Thanks Pam and Jim!

Hi there...going to use my brand new nesco smart canner...and first time canning! Thx for all your great teaching! As always, your video is detailed ....wonderful!

[@monstersmomma8594]

I must do everything in steps too. 5 kids at home keeps my hands in many projects all at once.

[@jenniferkelly8728]

Pam, I love the simplicity of the Nesco. So much so, I paused your video and bought one. Please refresh my memory. When canning (pints) of ground beef in it, we up the time to 90 minutes to ensure we stay in the kill zone long enough, correct?

[@cynthiafisher9907]

I think that was just for the meat sauce, because of the viscosity, but I may be mistaken.

[@jenniferkelly8728]

@@cynthiafisher9907 I watched the video again and you are right. It's 75 minutes. 90 minutes was just for the meat sauce. Thank you so much for your comment.

[@cynthiafisher9907]

@@jenniferkelly8728 You’re welcome! Happy canning!

Yes I have had my canner nesco for at least a couple of years. Still in the box

[@BethGrantDeRoos]

Am so glad you did this video because we are plant based we eat a LOT of carrots, and have wanted to can some but every video I have watched required salt be added. This next week I plan on canning carrots. I can easily eat one pint a day.

[@veronicamcclure]

Had to let you know I had my first homemade sauerkraut tonight as part of my dinner. Made two weeks ago and forgot it! But no mold! The recipe I followed had shredded carrots in it, tasted good!!! But I guess that kind of critique would only come from someone who grew up on it and grew to love it anyway.

[@vikkisoderquist6013]

👋 Tfs this! I really appreciate it so much.

[@RoseRedHomestead]

Villi: Any time Jim

[@devp700]

Thanks for another great video! Carrots were the first thing I pressure can in my Nesco! I used baby carrots so I didn’t have to peel them. Looking forward to more videos you using the Nesco canner!

[@JaniceCrowell]

I often use baby carrots too.

[@belindahowey844]

I appreciate all of your education on canning safely I just purchased the nesco canner and look forward to canning with it .. You are a blessing for all of us newbies lol..

[@deplorablecbblock1080]

Had to watch this again. Thinking about buying a Nesco.
