Thank you Meg for sharing your talent and your creative expertise. Blessings to you, Ben and your awesome kids. Y'all are so wonderful. Hope and pray that the Hollars have a bountiful 2024. ☝️🙏🙌💪❤️🤠🎯

[@sandrarhea2328]

Amen!

[@maryjanew20]

Meg your knowledge, comfort and expertise in the kitchen is that of someone twice your age! I admire you more than I can say.

[@eroberts2521]

I could watch Meg and learn from her amazing knowledge all day. Thank you for sharing so much great stuff with us!

[@kimberlyterenzoni8451]

Buggie yelling "strain" was most helpful! She is so blessed to have such a great mom.

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

Even if you don't have your own steer, you can use your Thanksgiving turkey carcass. Using Meg's roasting method I've got 6 pints of beautiful golden turkey broth on my shelves. Thanks!

[@n3rdygrl]

I did this too! Only I used an instapot recipe, then canned it. Next time I'll try roasting the carcass

[@sharonholmes2470]

YES!!! I make​ my own poultry bone broth too in my very large instant pot. I do buy chicken feet and necks to add to my bones. The gelatinous is so much better adding the feet and necks! @@n3rdygrl

[@Liangelus]

I even freeze rotisserie chicken carcasses so I can do up chicken stock when I get enough….and I bag up veggie ends/trimmings so I can throw them in as well

[@jeannamcgregor9967]

@@Liangelus Yes! I do that too.

[@KarenRolling]

❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉 Thanks so very much Meg! I appreciate you doing this video and àll the Great tips! Hope you have a great year in 2024!!!😊😊😊🎉🎉🎉

[@dugel3]

Meg is such a great instructor. She gives instructions that are clear and concise without a lot of extra talk and b.s. She just acts like she's chatting with you instead of talking down to you. And most importantly, you can tell she knows what she's doing. I hate you tube videos where the person makes a video telling others how to do something and you can tell they have never done it themselves! And just a heads up, always check the gasket on your pressure canner. Many years ago mine wasn't seated properly and while I was canning a batch of beans the lid blew through my kitchen ceiling. Jars, beans, glass, and boiling water blasted everywhere. If I would have still been standing or sitting nearby I would have been badly burned. Scared the heck out of me so I'm always very cautious now.

[@marywaltz7871]

I dont normally watch cooking videos but i enjoy watching Megs

[@SeeLionsInTX]

Meg, You are brilliant in the kitchen! How blessed your family is to sit down to meals you've made every day! ❤

[@tammystark6364]

Thank you Meg for this refresher course. I used to do far more canning when I had a young family but unfortunately it has been a number of years. This is something I want to be doing again and watching you has been a great reminder. And to all those people out there that are on your own again later in life canning is a great way to buy in bulk, so it is cheaper, and preserve in smaller portions. I usually can in pints as I am a widow with grown children. Thank you holler family for reminding me of the joy of producing and eating something grown and raised by my own hands

[@dianekilbourne5734]

I love the way you explain and show us “how to”, it makes it so much easier to can. Thank you so much.

[@marycountry]

Beef, beef,and more beef. But now to reap the reward of your harvest for a year. 👏👏👏👏

[@NanaPelletier]

THANK YOU!!! Im one of the ones who has asked for a meat canning video! You're the best, thanks Meg.

[@marcialittle7893]

Meg is such a good teacher, I've personally been doing exactly what she did on this video for years, but I had to watch anyway. Love the Hollars videos.😅

[@Bebe-vk7kw]

Thank you! Very helpful. It is so scary when your a newbie with canning. I just get so intimated with the rules and think omg I'm gonna poison everyone with my canned goods. It seems easy but yet somewhat complicated. Love you wishing you an easy pregnancy and birth!

[@marilynnergord7993]

Love,love,love the Meg cooking videos. You are so organized; your presentation is clear & you are just fun to watch. Thank you!

[@joecrowder7275]

Never hurts to can water in jars if you need to fill a canner . Canned water is good to have on hand too.

[@Jkaye13]

Excellent idea!

[@marking-time-gardens]

Thank you Meg for taking the time to walk us through this process... I know that it would be much faster and easier for you if you weren't videotaping this for us. Blessings on your day Kiddo! 🌻🐛Carolyn in Ohio 💕

[@starrcallaway4108]

Meg, thanks to the whole family for sharing your knowledge and everyday lives with us. Since you told us you're pregnant, l keep picturing Buggie yelling, "Come Out!"😂❤

[@cherihabegger9856]

Thank you for going through the canning process so thoroughly. I used to can when my kids were young, but it has been so long that this is a great refresher course. I plan on canning this coming summer so I can give canned products to my kids and grandkids, and I am carefully watching these videos. You are a great teacher.

[@angelacollins1343]

What an accomplishment for your family! Congratulations and thanks to Meg for showing us the final steps to preserve the beef you raised.

[@terryhelms9066]

It’s magic here’s the Hollars

[@dawnkirby9568]

Congratulations on your pregnancy! I love watching you and Ben and family. I just started canning and look to your videos for help. Thank you for what you do!

[@ellajones5930]

Pregnant? Hmm…. What episode was that?

[@dawnkirby9568]

It was a reply she left for someone congratulating them.

[@territn8871]

Thank you so much Meg for throughly explaining the steps and process of canning beef and broth!!! I have never tackled canning any kind of meat, but after watching you I feel I could if I had access to that much meat. You are so knowledgeable with canning veggies, meat, and broth. Thank you so much for all the time it took you to do all this work. I know just from canning veggies, it is very labor intensive and I appreciate your work!!!!❤🥰 Thank you so much!

[@teresahunter7645]

Thank you Meg! I am a newbie at canning, and am addicted! It is so nice knowing what is in your food! My canner is just like yours! 🥰

[@kaydefreese7586]

I have the same also purchased 11 years ago. It cost $75 then but now sells for a lot more.

[@janh519]

@kaydefreese7586 And no doubt you have saved a great deal over $75 since you bought it! Smart purchase!

[@TheJarheadwife]

Thank you, thank you, thank you for doing all these videos for us. They’re extremely helpful. My husband and I bought a 10 acre property last year and we are in the process of digging the well and the septic etc and I am preparing myself to be a homesteader now and all of your family’s videos are a great help in educating us. Thanks again 😊

[@dennisbentson823]

Your family melts my heart ❤️ I realize there is so much work behind the scenes that we don’t know about but your family truly cares about each other and the “beautiful people “ that get super excited to see your videos! Good job! Keep being real! Meg take it easy as you are growing a human

[@ketoqueenyo2431]

I’m vegan and have thoroughly enjoyed your beef videos 😅. Love how y’all have used the whole animal, even the hide. ✊🏼💥

[@priscab7085]

I love how you explain things so thoroughly and simply - nothing fancy- it is as if I stopped by as a neighbor and am sitting there watching you. I need the simple step by step visual and I now have the courage to use my pressure canner which I hate to admit I have had for years! You and Simple Alaska Living encourage me to just do it ( except butcher road kill )❤️❤️❤️

[@paulwilliams200]

I agree with your slow approach to removal of jars of stock and meats from the canner after processing. I wait for ALL bubbling to end. Leaving the jars in the canner with the lid off for several hours never causes sealing problems.

[@jeanetteharris373]

A wonderful video, Meg! I've canned for about 35 years, but only started canning meat a few years ago! You are thorough and a great teacher.👍 Thank you for encouraging younger generations to preserve their own food!

[@memyselfandeye8377]

You rock momma! May is coming! So talented 👏 and thorough. Thanks. ❤

[@heatherk8931]

❤ Wonderfully done Meg. I want to share this video with a very good friend who has yet to pressure can with her canner. For me, the broth making is my new learning process. You have the ❤ of a teacher and a patient style. Love and hugs to your household.

[@sandrahankins8488]

I love your canning sessions, keep up the good work.

[@donnamays24]

I am totally loving all of the vlogs from the beef harvest…especially watching a master like Meg in the kitchen! Thank you thank you thank you for all the work videoing ALL your hard work Meg! It’s excellent! Blessings guys ❤️🙏🏻

[@karenminckler4198]

The broth and beef looks fantastic. Enjoy watching you cook. Ben and you are a blessing to watch. Can’t wait to meet the new addition. ❤️❤️ You have a beautiful family.

[@huzchris]

WooWoo! We want the beef! Stew Beef is the best!

[@TheHollarHomestead]

It definitely is!!

[@bonniebarnekow1415]

Very interesting Meg . I learn a lot from you. You could write a book. I’m so happy for what I learn from you, and Ben . You have a busy weekend ahead. Don’t forget to take care of your self. Don’t overdo. Your amazing Meg , but you must rest also. Love ❤️ you and your family ❤

[@lorianderson2008]

Excellent video! If you don't have a full canner of jars, you can fill it up with jars of water to can for long-term emergency storage.

[@MrRodnick1955]

Buggy is the sweetest little princess I know just love her active ness.

[@LouY778]

You are one busy lady!❤

[@petrosros]

If you want a super clear broth, I am sure Meg already knows this one. Bring your broth to a rolling boils and beat in a couple of egg whites, pour through a cloth (the egg white will be grey and pick up all the larger particles). Voilà, one of those ultra clear broths you can add some finely sliced veg too, maybe some noodles, and it will look fantastic, don't over do the egg white as this can affect the flavour.

[@jemmabrown2765]

You did an excellent job of explaining as you go. No over-speak - just the correct information. Wow.....I imagine a lot of people will benefit from this very important video. Thank you Meg for taking the time to do this. 🌿🌺🌿🌺🌿

[@margaretfiggs2606]

Meg so happy for you guys. Another baby. Love your canning and broth with the bones. 😊

[@user-vb5xq3fv2c]

I forgot, I introduced your channel to my niece, now she cannot get enough of Miss Buggy. She is so, so smart. All your children are.

[@tinatippin5705]

I was hoping you would find the time to film this. Stew meat is on my list for next and I have never made beef broth before but really want to. Thank you, Meg. Now I have to see if I can get my hands on some good beef bones. Very helpful.

[@gabrielvankempen7863]

Go to the local butcher. They sometimes have them.

[@GetToTheFarm]

looks just like our stove. the burner control knobs gave up after about a year ... so my son designed and 3D printed us new knobs - so handy!!!

[@lavernfoy4591]

Thank you for canning today, you make it look so less stressful. Keep canning for me to gather the confidence to start my own canning journey! ❤️🙏

[@wrinklesandsprinkles]

The Goddess gave us a tutorial!! My life is now complete! Thanks Meg😉

[@patriciakoester1580]

Just Amazing Meg, thank you so much - you are such a great Teacher ♥️

[@allisonhubble8118]

My husband, who was raised in the sugar cane growing area of southern Louisiana, talks about the job he and his brothers had during the cane harvest. They were stationed around the outside of the field in order to shoot the rabbits that had been living in the field. Then they cleaned their bounty and brought it to their grandmother. Grandmother took over and processed the meat, canned most of it, and used it throughout the year. Grandfather got the skins, which he tanned and used for various projects, and the pigs got the offal.

[@werethewilsons]

Meg, youre an inspiration. I literally grabbed our steaks at the store and threw them on the stove... You are so tireless and awesome ❤

[@AZJH8374]

Meg, you & Ben are youngsters. How are you two California's so brilliant when it comes to homesteading & cooking? Love to you all. ❤️ many 💙 prayers for you 🙏🏻 all daily. Nurse Judi in Scottsdale AZ and Eucharistic Minister 🙏🏻 ❤️

[@memes3307]

Meg-you REALLY should write a cookbook. We love watching what you are doing in the kitchen!! Congratulations on the new baby!

[@tammysarrazin-ux9tv]

love the tetris jenga game with the bones lol hugsss

[@jills5939]

Very useful info. Thankyou Hollar's.

[@angelzhomestead]

Thank you! I love the way you explain the why's of you doing certain things.

[@anninmo5546]

Thanks for a great teaching video. You really take the fear out of canning. Congrats on the new baby! You have a lovely family.

[@plurmingo1]

watching Ben & Meg processing a steer, the one (and only) thing that comes to mind is " flintstones, meet the Flintstones", where the waitress puts that big rack of ribs on the car.

[@diannemiller4754]

Meg i have the same canner and follow the same practices. I've never had an issue with the canner. Im planning on making beef broth and will try roasting the bones first. Thank you for sharing 😊

[@jdgibs3446]

I must say again, along with everyone else, you did an awesome tutorial sprinkled with spices and generous kindness all pressure cooked with seasoned wisdom & gracious humor. Blessings to you and Ben, y'all's kids and the little one on the way. I'm looking forward to seeing a sister for miss Buggy. God willing and certainly His Devine blessing. Plz keep the videos coming. Looking forward to seeing your next one. ☝️🙏🙌💪❤️🎯🤠🇺🇸

[@loriy7532]

Always a pleasure to drop in for a visit .. I made chicken broth yesterday , always good to have it on hand , I froze mine in quart containers. My favorite soup is all of them..lol I was born a soup girl , specially in our cold snowy winters. Happy canning .

[@jetownsend1]

I think it's funny that the longer you are in the South the more you both (Ben and Meg) develop southern accents. You can definitely hear it creeping in, and the California sliding out.

[@karentuthill8308]

MEG! You are an amazing teacher and so very talented in the kitchen. Love when you share your methods of canning, cooking, and all the things in the kitchen. ❤ Oh if miles weren't so long; I'd totally come and have you as a mentor. You remind me of me in the kitchen. Continue doing these videos. ❤

[@gracerodriguez7995]

Thank you Meg, and CONGRATULATIONS to you and your family on the new addition 🎉❤❤

[@jaynegossett6638]

Thank Meg for your technique dealing with your bones! I swear, I don't know how you and Ben could possibly make a video if you didn't have hands, you both talk with your hands, it is so funny!!! Hope you have a successful 2024!

[@dibutler9151]

I've been making homemade broth and canning for many decades, but I have to watch this because Meg is awesome and I'm hungry. :D

I want a Meg Hollar cookbook! Your instructions are flawless. So easy to watch and follow. Not only do you give guidance on what to do, but why. The cookbook I want would just be a companion to your videos.

Excellent job Meg! Great tutorial for any newbies! Your beef chunks looked amazing and, I have to say, I'm really jealous of those beautiful bones!

[@barbarahorsey5]

It is nice to see you more Meg ❤❤

[@bonniedugle1763]

For years i worked in a fine dining kitchen. When they roasted bones, they added a few small smears of tomato paste on the bones. Just a little kick of flavor.

[@nikiledger3592]

I’ve canned for years, but I still learned some tips. Thank you!!

[@loisfromohio3109]

You use everything and that is something that most people don't do. Thank you

[@indecisivegardener]

Meg, thank you so much for sharing the basics. I've only pressure canned a few times with a lot of time in between. My memory isn't the greatest. Now I have a reference to look back on. 😊

Meg, did I miss the video you announced you were pregnant? If you are congratulations 🎉❤

[@TheHollarHomestead]

New Year, New Addition has it 😊 Thank you!

[@Elynis1196]

I have the same canner. I just finished a batch of chicken stock from chicken backs and leg bones from the freezer, and a batch of spaghetti sauce from my tomatoes from last year's garden. I used a roaster pan this time instead of the pot for the suce, as I saw in one of your previous videos. Game changer! No more THICK burned bottom. Only a little bit in the corners. I get to put away/share 10 pints of sauce and 6 quarts of chicken stock. The guide with the canner also has basic recipes in the back to help you start canning, so you don't have to rely on the internet or buy a separate book.

[@lieuwina]

Meg you are amazing and you explain very clearly and I could watch you all day canning and cooking. Where do you get your energy from? you are at the stove all day and doing breakfast, lunch and dinners in between. I feel like I do not achieve much. Sometimes when I get tired I think 'hey! look at Meg she gets so much done in a day, move it' and off I go. Thanks Meg for sharing all your knowledge, you sure are teaching a 65year old a lot. Greetings from the UK.

[@kayrabey1344]

Thank you Meg. So much attention to detail and the explaining the why of what you are doing. Great job

[@bingo45373]

Like miss wolfy said always always whip the rim she is the one who got me hooked on canning
