HUGE Backyard Garden Harvest PRESERVED for Winter Eating |

Hey Friend, We are preserving a ton of food in todays video. August is the peak of Food Preservation and the garden just keeps on giving. I've been preserving everyday as a part of the #everybitcountschallenge and right now the tomatoes are shining. Today we are canning 51 lbs of tomatoes into pizza sauce, ketchup and bruschetta in a jar, roasting and freezing peppers and making some chili starter for the freezer.
Thanks for watching,
Kelsey

I ordered the burner from the link put in the description of your last video; however I received a different model KR-S2 even tho the box says PCR-S1. The description for the KR-S2 says capacity weight is 15lbs. I think a water bath canner with filled jars weighs more than that. Do you know if you have the PCR-S1 or the KR-S2? It should be listed on the bottom of the burner.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Oh no, I’m honestly not sure! I’m not home right now but I can check for you soon!

[@lillypatience]

@@seedandsparrowhomestead thanks so much! I ask because Amazon does have another product page for the KR-S2 for less than the product page for PCR-S1, so may as well return and order the lower priced one.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

Mine says kr-s2! It looks like they’ve done away with the pcr-s1 and are replacing with the kr-s2. They look exactly the same and on their website they no longer list the pcr -s1. All reviews say it has worked for canning and some have had success with an all American pressure canner(I have not tried yet). Perhaps read through the reviews, they are mixed. I’ve had success 3 times now with a 21 quart water bath canner!

[@lillypatience]

@@seedandsparrowhomestead thank you so much for checking!

You are REAL. I was wondering if I was the only person whose kitchen was completely unusable after canning and preserving - you gave me hope!

Hi Kelsey, Your videos are lovely just the way they are. Real life happening is what adds the peacefulness of your content! We can all relate to the mess! . Thank you for being you! Blessings! ♥

[@sarah_farm]

I love this upload since you included the behind-the-scenes of your hard work! And it's an honor to have you visit our channel, we can discuss more about our experiences in harvesting and building farms.

[@Ms.Byrd68]

The last part of the video gave the viewer a better understanding of *_WHY DO THEY PLANT SO MUCH STUFF?_* (I too have wanted to REALLY understand!) It's because, if you don't then you're only growing for FRESH EATING. Your not growing enough to get a 'family of four' through to the next _Planting Season much less the next Harvest!_ Thank you. More 'Homesteaders' should show us HOW MUCH IT LITERALLY takes, depending on your goal. Nothing wrong with just wanting or needing 'Fresh Eating' but if you want or need more, you have to grow more. Kudos!

[@claireskinner9077]

I know you feel like you’re frazzled and not doing your best work but I think you’re wrong. The season of having little ones underfoot is hard. And you’ve managed to not only grow your little people and enrich their lives, but you’ve grown a beautiful, abundant garden, and then used the fruits of your labour to stock your pantry to feed your family. That is some of the hardest (yet most rewarding) work there is. And you’re gracious enough to film it and share it with us all. Thank you for showing us how you get it done, even when it’s not the prettied up, artistic version you would prefer to put out. In your realness you should people the true amount of consistent effort this all takes, and that’s valuable.

[@Just-Nikki]

Honey it’s harvest and canning season. I would question someone who wasn’t frazzled right now! Don’t apologize. This is when we bust our butts so we have quicker meals in the colder months. You’re doing a great job!

[@battlearmanda]

I love that you've been showing the abundance, the craziness that comes with it and the real life aspect of what happens to us during this season!! No worries on looking frazzled, I didn't really notice all that much because I can relate to everything you're up against!

[@user-jt3qp3ln2d]

More than Farmers family cut their raspberry bush down to near ground and it comes back each year.

[@AndreaRuralMN]

To help sauces evaporate faster I put a fan on the counter next to the stove blowing at the pot. It helps them boil down about twice as fast for me!

[@kimberlyearly8918]

I love your videos and presentation!! I love seeing what people harvest and how they preserve it!

[@capridovonrenislam4128]

Hi Kelsey, a tip: Ahead of canning you can freeze the tomatoes first, then thaw them, so it will release a lot of the water, but keeps the flavor, and it does reduces your cooking time a lot.

[@kimdowning8736]

I love your videos. Don't Apologize, your have your hands full.

[@Nins-niche67]

Next time with the ketchup put it in the crockpot with the lid slightly open with a wooden spoon and let it go overnight on low.

[@user-jt3qp3ln2d]

Might try getting the new heavy duty square cages that nice gardening stores sell

[@cbass2755]

Isn’t it amazing how all that produce shrinks down!? Lol…my kitchen table was full. Some areas double stacked. Once I cooked them down and into jars I got 8 pints. Lol…I thought I’d surely get more. But very grateful for ANY of it…✝️♥️

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

My mind is blown every time! Great perspective, thankful for it no matter how small.

[@maryegerton6848]

Hi Kelsey❤ have you ever considered getting a fruit saver? It’s so darn fast. All you do is put water in the bottom, put the jars on the rack they provide and put the lid over seven jars. Then you bring the water to a boil and it steams the jars. Way less water, so much faster. The processing time is the same as a water bath, but it doesn’t take a half hour to heat up the giant pot of water. Girl! It’s a game changer. I will never go back to heating a million litres of water again. I got mine from Amazon. Have a great weekend. Peace and love ☮️💕

[@ElderandOakFarm]

I will definitely be looking into that!

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

I can do that! Thanks for the feedback 🤍

[@karenpage9383]

This was my first year doing ketchup and I feel your pain! I used my roaster and it was a 2 day process, but I was following the Living Traditions recipe and Sara spent 3 days on hers, so I knew what I was getting into. LOL I grow tomatoes, but not nearly enough so I supplement my harvest with tomatoes in bulk from a local farmer. I'm pretty sure I used a case of 30lk of tomatoes and got 6 pints of ketchup out of it. Canning tomato products is NOT for sissies! Ha!

[@ourmodesthome]

The "Ayvarski" peppers are one of my favorite peppers. I roast them and than I fry them in a pan with some salt. Also I use them to make some homemade Ayvar. Deicious.

[@seedandsparrowhomestead]

So good!

[@CarriesCulinaryCrafts]

just FYI with the Ketchup.. I do mine in the roaster and let it go over night, by morning it is nice and think and ready to can!

[@amylivingston458]

Hi Kelsey! I have been making the buscheta recipe for several years now. On opening, I drain a little of the liquid off - we find it a bit watery. If I'm in the mood, I stir in a little Extra virgin olive oil before serving. I could see a little balsamic being tasty too. Thanks for the videos! They are encouraging to me.

Havent found any good produce deals around pittsburgh area, all seem to be closer to the amish in central PA, or ohio lol but the deals ive found havent made the gas worth it just yet lol.

Absolutely no need to apologize! Those of us who can are in the same boat as you. It is taking all I have this year to get my things canned and once again I am overwhelmed a bit ! Having to slow down due to some health issues takes some getting used to for sure. For me some of this is self induced as well , as in buying a bushel of pears when I have a kitchen full of produce HAHA! IT is what it is and when we are all done we have a pantry full of healthy, tasty food for the coming cold days of winter. Thanks again for sharing with us! Blessings!

[@cherylpresleigh6403]

The harvest is outstanding and once again the preservation choices are inspiring. I think the bruschetta in a jar is a great gift idea if like you said it holds up. My mind was racing with questions and ideas just listening to you talk thru your plans and the processes you were using. I love the idea of creating the chili starter! Having the mix of things ready to go for recipes one makes a lot of, is a great approach as opposed to single item preserving…still a fabulous idea and one I use for general meal prep but when you have things you make fairly regularly it’s like having the convenience of a bag of veggies bought from a store but instead grown and preserved with the highest level of nutritional value! I’m curious if after roasting your peppers, you’ve put them in the freeze dryer? Would the flavor or texture have a noticeable change if it’s just going to be added to something cooked? On a side note Kelsey, the roses in your garden are just magical. The beautiful soft colors just woo you in as a peaceful resting spot. We’re all tired about this time in the garden/preserving process but you are doing an amazing job. Thank you for taking us along. Take care of yourself! 🤗🩷
