Canning Sloppy-Joe, Mennonite Recipe

[@sunsetheritage]

I told my 17 year old son the other day that “I’m 53 and when I grow up I want to be just like Ruthann Zimmerman”. Hopefully I’m a couple weeks away from getting moved into my house. I can’t wait to get back to canning and preserving. This is going to be one of the first things I can. Thank you so much for sharing your wisdom 🤗🧡 Lorie 😊

I made a frame and covered it with chicken wire. Laid it on two saw horses and put onion tops through the wire. Onions were all separated and tops hanging. They dried beautifully

I love to binge watch your videos. I am a recently retired RN and have taken up canning because of the craziness of our world. I just turned 70 and wish that I had taken up this skill many years ago. I find myself leaning towards heritage/rebel canning as it makes more sense to me. I love your method of teaching and you have such a beautiful smile and way about you. Your family is so precious and obviously much loved. Thank you from Alberta Canada ❤

I love how you just work through the boys’ chaos and just keep giving them little jobs to keep them busy…. It gives them purpose, as well as teaching them responsibility which creates strong adults.

[@MarjHenkel]

I love that you rinse your jars/blender/whatever with a recipe liquid. I grew up doing that, and my husband doesn't understand the purpose of it. It's zero waste, baby, zero waste. That and easy clean up.

Freezers are all so packed and having a quick meal is so nice. 🥰 I so adore you RuthAnn. Im 63 been canning for over 40 years and have learned so much from you. God bless you always and keep you in his care ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Thank you for allowing me to be part of the process.i 've been canning for over 50 yrs.this year I went out of my comfort zone and made lard.qi 've done sloppyjoes, all the veggies and you inspired me to do pumpkin for the firrst time.instead of adding a little water to the blender, I added apple juice.again, thank you.

I truly admire the way you have raised your children. When you ask them to do something there is never any arguing or negotiation with them, they do what you ask immediately.

[@patriciaway3738]

I have never canned in my life--65 yrs here--or gardened, but, after watching your videos, I am determined to do both! Thank you for sharing your tremendous wealth of knowledge.

You can do it!

[@1-God1-Truth1-Life1-Forever]

Do it! It's fun.

[@Longfamily3]

Oh, you will love it!! I'd recommend watching RuthAnn's water bath canning video from last fall and her gardening videos from this spring and you'll be all set!! When you've gained confidence water bath canning, buy a good pressure canning and add that adventure. You'll love the quality and flavor of your very own food!!

[@PaulineLapiers-br2ep]

Once you start it’s hard to stop, so very addicting!!

[@kaygee478]

I’ve canned more than 60 years but not this year yet. I’ve had major health problems & I’m doing good 2 do basic things. Also I’m a caregiver 2 my husband who has end stage Parkinson’s. Yes canning is very addictive. Love your videos, Ruth Ann. U have taught me so much. 🥰

[@leben54]

I also grew up with venison as my parents could not afford to buy much meat and we had to go far with ferry and bus to reach the butchers. We were not farmers, but our uncle who owned the grounds saw to it that we had meat. The first time two guys came and dropped a whole deer on mums kitchen counter, she was quite wild eyed, she told me. But the guys were kind and came back and cut the deer a bit apart for her, and then she had a really good old fashioned cookbook to help her. This was in Norway in the 60ties. I enjoy most of your videos, thank you! One thing I cannot understand is using so much sugar in the food

[@karend4733]

Salt and Sugar were both used as a means of preserving foods. Also, sugar cuts the acidity of the tomato and vinegar. That being said... adjust seasonings to your taste... maybe use 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, or 3/4... just make it to your own specific tastes.

[@barbaramiller349]

Good morning. 💕 Every video I see of you amazes me. How much you do for your family is so inspiring. Your work ethic is something most people don’t have or can’t even comprehend. You remind me of my mother. She worked so hard in the home. Very little resting time. As a senior adult now, I know how my body feels and I know my mother had a lot of pain in her body like I do, and the fact that she still did all that she did, well, there are no words for the admiration I have for her. I remember her cooking big beautiful meals for everyone and then not eating anything, and she would say she wasn’t hungry right then , 🥺. I know now that she was just too tired or hurting too much to eat, because that’s exactly how I feel now. I wish I could have understood her more when she was alive. She never complained though. I think having a purpose of caring for others gave her joy. I know it does me. Have a blessed weekend!❤🙏

This video made me so happy. My family immigrated to Iowa in the 1800s, and much of our family still lives there. I'm in NC now because of the military, but seeing simple things like using wash basins and wash cloths brings me right back to grandma's. As I watched you add the ingredients, when you were about done I said to myself, "Aww, no mustard!" ... then it was like you read my mind and pulled it out. It's almost our family's recipe to a "T" but in a smaller quantity. I hope to be able to afford a pressure canner soon so I can preserve stuff like this. Love your channel... new subscriber!

My husband's grandmother ran a coffee shop near Estes Park, CO. And I make her recipe for sloppy joe's - this very weekend in fact - and she puts a pinch of cloves in her recipe called it St Vrain's Special. Try the cloves, do not overdo it as it is a strong spice, but it just adds something to sloppy joes.

You are so gifted in teaching,...even this 70 yr old woman!!! I love your home , especially your kitchen. Also your patio where you are working. I especially love how you have lovingly trained your children to work...and even enjoy what they are doing. I will be back!!! I am making a list of the things I want to can. The sloppy Joes especially . Its just my husband and I at home now, have 5 acres, a big pond where we can fish and last year built a nice pavilion to entertain. I know God has called us to have people over and ;my husband and I are both good at it. But the food part I am not as confident with anymore. These videos will inspire me!! Already are!

@@asmith8973 wouldn't think so as it's pressure canned so the acidity level really doesn't matter

Dishwasher and clean jars: RoseRed (youtube creator) suggested when they are emptied of food, and washed, to put a clean used lid on them with a ring, and store them upside down. Then they are clean and ready to use for canning when you need them. I have been doing this and it works well for our setup.

Thanks RuthAnn! I'll chime in and say we moved to our little farm/homestead three years ago. At the ages of 55 & almost 56, we have our first milk cow due middle of next month (her first with us & I've never milked a cow!), a steer, a bunch of turkeys & chickens, I've learned how to pressure can and be confident with it, and I've even learned some parenting skills to use with my 7 grandkids. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach me! I have some physical limitations, as does hubby, so our garden next year will have to made into raised beds. (I had a heart attack this year planting potatoes! ) We're learning to put in infrastructure for the farm, garden, animals, etc. to make life easier as we age, but I've been building up our larder and I would've had little knowledge on how to do that without you, thank you!

My tip: high speed blender up lemons- skin and all. I take off the ends, take out seeds and some white stuff....blend it all up, and freeze in ice cube trays. It is so handy for lemon bars, pies, and whatever you need. It's stronger but so natural and yummy. I don't strain it, we like the pulp. I thought maybe you might like it too. You inspired me to make cheese! It turned out great.

I can by myself. I couldn't do it without a dishwasher. I've been through 3 dishwashers in my married life. I've found that my Maytag is one of the best. I measured my deepest canning utensil before buying this last one. I made sure that pot would fit. It has a 1 hour cycle and a sanitize cycle. I run it as many as I need during the day. Next to my Kitchen Aid mixer, it is the most used appliance in my kitchen.

I have a question about your awesome dipper. Where did you find a large metal one? I would love to have one like it. I use my roaster for canning too. I have made lots of stuff in it. Especially great for apple butter and chicken and beef bone broths. Keep up the great work sweetie. I am 75 years old and live alone since my hubby passed in 2008. I had a dog that I adopted from a shelter for nine years, but she recently passed away from heartworms. I missed her terribly. She slept with me every night for 9 years. A friend of mine who knew I was lonely without her just gave me a maltese poodle mix puppy. He is soooo precious. I am in North Carolina now but grew up in Ohio on a farm around Amish people, and lived just like you all do. That is one reason why I enjoy your videos so much because it reminds me of home. Take care dear, and God bless you and your great family! It looks like you got 14 quarts from 24. Pounds of meat. Is that correct?💜💜💜✝️✝️✝️🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

I used your method to can green beans with zinc. They look great! My first batch not so much since I used capsules and dumb me didn’t crunch them up first. Lesson learned.

Your sloppy joes look so good! One thing I do to avoid having to wash my jars both after emptying and again before using is to store them with the used lids on and throw them away when I take them off to use the jars again.
