SUGAR-FREE Canned Blackberries!!

#sugarfree #canning #blackberries #ketodiet #homesteading
The wild blackberry season is coming to an end. We’ve put enough blackberries into the freezer so now it’s time to put some in jars. Normally blackberries are canned in a sugar syrup but when you’re eating KETO, sugar is not an option. This recipes shows that you CAN preserve blackberries without sugar.

Thank you so much for introducing fruit without sugar. I’m diabetic, and it’s hard to get recipes without sugar.

[@not1moreinch332]

I have 15 Apache and 15 Arapaho blackberries bushes. We have harvested 20 GALLONS of berries so far. We will probably get 4-6 more gallons. I'm extremely happy with these plants. I planted them in spring of 2023.

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

Hopefully that will be us next year! We planted 12 blackberry and 12 raspberry plants this spring!

[@user-bo1rj2xu2s]

WOW! Good for you. 🎆Enjoy!

[@winterhomestead]

Holy Moly.. How do you storr them? That is allot.. Good for you

[@donnaspear8311]

Thanks for the lessons. It wouldn't bring up the comment box, so I'm leaving my comment here. You're a excellent teacher. You have eliminated all the negative comments about canning. Hopefully.​@@LivingTraditionsHomestead

[@not1moreinch332]

@@winterhomestead for now we have froze them. When I get time we will be making jam, jelly and syrup

Kevin’s blackberry picking outfit is giving serious tropic thunder vibes and I’m here for it.

[@jennywagner2448]

I have the same canning book (Canadian version) and have never even noticed the part about using just water lol... great to see you pioneering a path for us to keto canning! much appreciated!

[@CreepingThyme]

I call my ball canning books my “Canning Bibles” lol.

[@loisharper9570]

I have canned blueberries in water for years. We use these in smoothies, water and all. One half-pint jar is perfect.

[@sitsngigglesful]

I haven't even watched it yet and I had to say, I'm here for any sugar free/keto friendly canning tips! OK, now I'll watch, lol

[@sitsngigglesful]

As others have said, I have the same book and never noticed the "canning with water" part! I LOVE this! Thank you so much!

[@corinne7126]

Been canning fruit forever in water only and freezing them also with no sugar. You will not miss the sugar. Great video

[@colleenjerns9239]

Thank you so much for this video. I grow strawberries, raspberries, tay berries, blueberries and thornless black berries. It takes all of a seven cubic feet freezer. I am also on a keto diet and this will certainly help me preserve my berries in a keto friendly way and free up more freezer space.

[@olddawgdreaming5715]

Thanks for sharing with us Sarah. Fantastic information about canning. You do a great job keeping things safe. Keep up the great videos and the fun you all have around there. Fred.

[@femalecrusader8389]

Love this video so detailed and explaining of processed including Ball book. Great recipe for low carb no sugar added diets. 👨‍🌾

What a beautiful view from where your blackberries are planted! ❤❤❤❤ Oh my heart ♥️

I will be checking the wild blackberry situation shortly here in central PA .... maybe even today. I'm a Keto/Carnivore wannabe .... and info like this will help me "tow the line". Take care Sarah & Kevin .... best of luck with all your harvesting🚜🍅🍓🫑🌶🥬✌🏻

[@tonyn3123]

My parents planted 6 tame blackberry plants several years ago, spaced about 2-3 feet apart. They trained them onto a trellis. Each year they pruned the old canes. I believe it was year 2 that they harvested approximately 26 gallons. No briars and chiggers and snakes. I could not tell any taste difference between their tame vs wild blackberries. Supplied the family and sold a bunch each year. Just FYI.

[@jholcomb9532]

What a timely video! We have gallons of wild blackberries in our freezer and I am Carnivore, but I do eat berries. This will be a perfect solution! Note: I did just can some blackberry jam using Allulose and it turned out amazing, I've gone through one jar already. I like a little in some full-fat yogurt, or Carnivore ice cream. Thanks for the info!

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

Great tip for using empty jars to fill the empty space. Have you tried a steam canner? Game changer!!

[@rangerswife2176]

That’s what I’ve always used. And now I’ve been doing oven canning since it’s just my husband and me.

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

@@rangerswife2176 very interesting! The steam canner is usda approved for those not wanting to deviate from the rules, but I've heard of rebel oven canning too!

[@ameyperkins3566]

Yay. I in clinical remission from triple negative breast cancer. It’s sooo great to find a recipe for no sugar Jam. And blackberries are my favorite.

[@marybethham4967]

Thanks for this info on canning with no sugar. My husband and I are doing Keto and are doing good on it. Happy 4th of July. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Thx to you, I purchased this book several years ago and it's my go to! I love it. You and Kevin are so informative etc. I love your channel

[@deblanfair8510]

My Mom and Grandma canned blackberries in water for years. Some with sugar , some without. I loved them both ways. So good. I'm so glad you shared that is still considered safe to can them without sugar. We sure all survived.

[@anneyday3493]

I just finished canning my berries from the thornless bushes I planted 5 yrs ago when I stared my homestead. No sugar, just like you.

[@mariasmith8433]

I know an older man who told me that his mom used to can berries in plain water in the summer. Then in the fall when she had money for sugar, she would open them up and make jams and sweeten them for pies. Work with what you have!

[@jacquelyndevitte4992]

Thank you for opening the door for no sugar canning. I love black berries and cannot wait to can some. 🦋

[@bonnieneufeldt1814]

I did not know that this was a safe canning practice. Thanks Sarah!!

[@Mary-Mercedes]

GREAT VIDEO. Canning fruit is a challenge when on a Keto lifestyle. Blackberries are so fragile and so tart.

[@debramccarthy2182]

The Navajo thornless are delicious when picked ripe!! I only have one bush in mid-East Georgia and it's growing new branches and new berries in it's third year. I sure plan to plant a lot more.❤

[@janispope1513]

Thank you so much for this video. I am always eager to learn from you! For your consideration, you might replace the plastic ladle with a stainless steel one to avoid micro plastics going into food, especially when handling anything hot. Thanks again for all you do!

[@lindaclark8955]

Love this fruit canning never thought about canning fruit great video i am watching my carbs as well thank you

[@SageandStoneHomestead]

I plan to can blackberries (in syrup) this year too! We have only made jams with them previously. Thanks for the recipe/process!

[@roninboxers]

This is so great! I have a bunch of blackberries in the freezer and didn't know what to do with them!

[@deborahlugbauer576]

Thank you! Never saw this section in the Ball book. Happy and Safe 4th.

[@krickette5569]

I canned 14 pints of Fresh, Homegrown, Blackberry Jam today. Many of them will be added into Homegrown/Homemade food baskets for Christmas presents. I'm also making pot holders, cheese and butter to include in the baskets.

[@victorenecahill9840]

thank you so much for what you do. I have been using vinegar in my new canners that I use for the last 25 years and the vinegar has kept my canners as bright inside as the day I bought them. They don't look black like they sometimes start to look. Just something I thought wood be a good tip for people. Thank you again for all you do.

[@tracybruring7560]

Thank you for reading out of the book.

[@jenniferkersey5454]

Enjoyed your video so much! Thank you for sharing this process without sugar. I learn so much from both of you. Bless your heart.

[@terber12392]

Sara I did the same type of canning this year with my figs. No added sugar. I did not even need to add water at all because as I cooked the figs, they released enough liquid to do the job. I did add citric acid to my fruit when cooking them.

[@sandrabitting6821]

I never thought to put empty jars in the canner. Makes a lot of sense 😊

[@Cindysmiths-homesteadlife]

Thank you for this because I wanted to can with just water

[@gailthrone4426]

loved this video. Blackberries never came ripe in Ohio until first of August, but oh so good. They make GREAT pie. Blessings from Arizona

[@leeslabach7427]

Beautiful fruit! Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

[@SuzieqNC2606]

Loved your video! I just freeze my blackberries! I rinse them with cold water and let them dry before freezing.

[@stephanieg5195]

Great refresher for me, thank you!

[@serenityhillhomestead5392]

I've been harvesting a gallon+ of wild blackberries every other day for the past 2 weeks. We've made cobbler 4 times and I've put 6 gallons in the freezer. I'll probably get at least another 4 gallons before they are done. Last 2 years we were in drought and didn't get many berries.

[@funniful]

THANK you for this! I’m also trying not to eat sugar because of its highly significant role in getting cancer. Right now, I have my berries in the freezer, but if (when) SHTF, I won’t have a cold freezer. Thank you!

[@thelmahall2593]

my mom canned a lot and i sure miss all the canning she did, she passed in 2013

[@pamelapitrone7639]

You are one of the BEST canning teachers!

[@LivingTraditionsHomestead]

Wow, thank you!

[@corrineadams7303]

I use my grape juice to can fruits. Blackberries I juice some of the fruits and can that for syrup later. Some of the berry juice is also used in my canning for my blackberries. Makes really yummy juice even after consuming the fruit being canned. Have done apples, pears, prunes, and cherries. I put the fruit in then pour the grape juice right from the steam juicer to fill my jars.

[@dhansonranch]

Very thorough Sarah! I have not done water yet, but certainly have done ultra light. I enjoyed them but it took a bit for some of the family to warm up to them. I was surprised that they did not fall apart during the heating. Good video.

[@belieftransformation]

Great instructions & knowledge. Thanks for sharing! Blessings to everyone 🤗🇨🇦

[@HorseyGal4ever]

Thank you for sharing your vast knowledge, I have a blackberry "bush", My 2nd year to harvest, and it's loaded.😋🥰

[@rolandcharland4121]

Just a suggestion I as well followed your example and started a ketogenic lifestyle back in December anyway I sacrifice one quart of berries for a gallon of berries i process the one quart into juice as you would for jelly I use that juice in canning the gallon of berries in place of water

[@anneo3754]

Yummy! I never really thought about it until today that berries were almost always in the freezer. Except for jam. My mom would can most of our fruits, usually with light or medium syrup. I'd like to see some of your recipes for using water packed berries!

[@jakgarl]

I love watching your preserving videos, reminds me of mum as she did this a lot. I made salsa with my tomato’s this season instead of relish and chutney, they turned out great but a few popped so I must have done something wrong.

[@LisaB_at_Pine_Ridge]

Great tutorial - such a good teacher!

[@DJWhitmore74]

Thank you, this was great information! Have a Safe and Happy Independence Day !

[@christinashawgo6510]

I cook mine to juice it, then I mill it. I freeze dry it. Add enough water to keep it somewhat thin juice so you can powder it.

[@scrapykat3028]

I’ve heard that when you need a stabilizer jar or two to put in filtered water. Once processed, you have sterilized water for wound care.

[@naomimartinez9385]

Next time you pick the berries try a small variation to get the best berries. Cup your hand under the berries and gently tap the berry the ripe ones will fall off; you will end up with the sweetest berries. My kids used to eat the frozen berries without wanting sugar on them because of all the natural sugar.

[@danamarie4847]

Another awesome video, thank you!!! Can you share recipes how you make geese, geese and venison.

Thank you! I have that book..i never looked into non sugar portion..i think it is a great idea to get off sugar..it is s heavy addiction that is not good for anyone

[@mdevery8894]

Hi , I have your version of the Ball canning book and the ‘new’ one. I was excited to get it as a Mother’s day gift. That said I was very disappointed in the book. Keep your old book. Ball has strayed from the main reason for the book. It is another cookbook with weird recipes.

[@robinparker8642]

Why can't some things just stay as they are?

[@robinparker8642]

I'm actually hoping to one day find a much older canning book

[@theresatyree3904]

I watched all of your canning videos, thank you so much for doing this. (?) if you can handle the jars by hand, are they hot enough and you’re setting them on your cold counter I think you should set them on a towel :-) I have been watching you guys for years

[@robinparker8642]

I'm hoping to do this with the Wild Black raspberries I found in my son's backyard! I never even knew they were a thing until I saw them and mistook them for blackberries. But surprise surprise!

[@SallyGreimes]

Those are called blackcaps and are a delicacy. There is absolutely nothing like their flavor! They are pungent, deep and intense flavor. Consider yourself blessed to have them!

[@rebeccaplumlee9601]

Before I can something new, I do research. I check books out of the local library & compare recipes. I do look on line too, but something about being able to hold books near & comparing just seems more legit. 1year I tried honey instead of sugar for strawberry preserves.. shocked how much it took to make sweet as I wanted (& I don't like super sweet). Ended up being costly. That same year I learned about GREEN TOMATO JELLY, used jello to flavor the jelly, the tomatoes gave nice texture plus a kind of spicy taste to any flavor I picked. Good alternative way to use end of harvest tomatoes. ∆ usually just make rummage relish (all stuff left over thrown together)

[@lisaemerson8061]

Y MOM AND THEN ME ALWAYS CANNED FRUIT IN WATER SO WE COULD USE IT ANYWAY WE WANTED GOOD TO SEE SOMEONE ELSE DO IT
