My Canning Kitchen: Foods I LOVE to Can & the Foods that I DON'T!

[@VickiBowers]

Many years ago I was recovering from surgery, and undergoing radiation, and it really wiped me out. As soon as I felt like I could do it, I got up and canned up a batch of carrots, of all things. It’s hard to describe the therapeutic value of the activity of canning, or to explain to a non-canner how this is a comfort activity, but it totally is. I got those carrots canned, and I knew everything was going to be okay. And every time we used one of those jars of carrots I had canned, I felt reassured again that everything was going to be okay. Yes, canning is definitely a comfort activity, at least for me. Thank you for your videos. They are instructional, educational, and inspirational.

You could take your jars of pickles and run them through the food processor and make relish

[@VickiesCountryHome]

I love hearing about everyone's favorites, and also what they don't like! Thank you!

I have been water bath canning for years, but I recently bought a pressure cooker. The first one was a Presto Pressure cooker because of the cost, $99. The problem is it leaked and the gauge and the added weight I used just did not seem to match plus it would run out of water from all the leaking. I took that back and purchased the All American 915 Canner. I picked that size because these canners are heavy and I usually only do about 7 quarts or pints each. I am just canning for my husband and I and gifts. For anyone that wants to do sustainable canning instead of buying manufactured canned goods the All American canner is absolutely worth every single penny. None could possibly compare to how this works. It was excellent right out of the box on the test run. Your video on the setup of this canner was worth a million dollars. I feel successful because of that video and following all the advice and I thank you so much for that. I do have to brag about my pickles and I did make two different types of very crunchy garlic dill with a bit of a bite. One type was made with the hot water bath method and the other was fermented. I was thrilled with both results. The fermented is very good for a person because of the probiotics and is crunchy and tasty. The jars that were water bath canned are also excellent with a slightly different taste because of the flavoring I added and they are also very crunchy.

We love eating the pineapple jam in vanilla ice cream with a little toasted coconut thrown in. And the plum jelly is our favorite for Asian recipes. Thanks for sharing ! Love seeing your canning videos so inspiring !

[@TheKneadyHomesteader]

Plum jelly mixed with soy sauce is really good with egg rolls. I have ice cream but no pineapple :-(

Use your canned squash to make fried squash patties. Little old bay seasoning, garlic powder and flour or bread crumbs as a binder. Drain the squash and mash it up before mixing with other ingredients. My mom has made these since I was little and we all love them! Love your channel and I also love canning.

As a kid we used to use pie filling and use these sandwich maker things that are meant for campfires and make "pies" over a campfire. Its basically some sort of metal sandwich shaped pocket on a metal stick and you heat it over the fire. So yummy!

Thank you for all the wonderful video's you make, because of them I have learned how to do canning at 71 years old lol. My kids and grandkids love what I make, thanks to all you ladies who take the time to do this. God Bless you all

[@CryMeA_River8710]

whole mustard seeds in canning helps pickles to stay crisp, try that on squash for experiment

[@jennieledfors4467]

We've canned pickles for decades and the trick is to add powdered alum to the recipe. It keeps them crunchy. Also make your slices all least a 1/4 of an inch thick. I love your videos! My favorite is your cranberry jalapeno jelly. Yum!!! Happy canning to ya!

[@susanyoung211]

Jennie Ledfors how much powdered alum?

[@angelag7992]

I've just started canning a few weeks ago, I started with low sugar strawberry jam that my family absolutely loved. Then I made my husband's favorite pickled Bologna 😂, dill pickles, apple butter, white grape jam, blueberry jam, and blackberry jam. Today I'm doing Meyer lemon jam and apples in simple syrup, I don't have a pressure canner yet so I can't do the other canning I'd like to do, but I will soon. The jams and apple butter I've done have been in smaller batches, like 7-8 pints, to give to friends and to put up, my husband's pickled Bologna was made using a huge roll so he's got 2 quart jars and 7 pint jars full 😂. I realized when I started how much that ping sound when the jar seals tickles me to death!! I'm hooked, that's for sure, thank you for this video, i love seeing videos of others that explain why they will or won't can something again ❤️

[@valeriebadillo3113]

This is the first year that I have ever canned anything! I've made jams, apple butter, and salsa. Simple easy beginner things but it helped to build my confidence in canning. Now, I just need to bite the bullet and buy that pressure canner that's been sitting in my amazon wish list!

[@DebadooCreates]

Awww. Big hugs to you. I don't think we ever stop missing them. My dad died 31 years ago. But you brought back a nice memory for me. Before my stepmother died they used to can a lot of things among them they would make sauerkraut. They wash the cabbage in the washing machine, I don't think they put it on a cycle I think it was just big enough to put a lot of water in. And one year my stepmother lost her Band-Aid somewhere in it so we didn't eat a lot of sauerkraut that year. LOL

[@WilletteB]

I still have the old quart Atlas Mason jars that belonged to my grandmother. They are still in perfect condition. I think about how many meals the cans have held over the last 100 years. One year I remember filling all of her jars and all of mine. Thinking of her now gives me great joy. Everyone needs a grandmother like I had. I was truly blessed to have her in my life and I miss her everyday. ❤️

My grandmother and her friends canned a lot back in Arkansas. So much fresh produce back in the 1960's and 70's. She canned tomatoes, cukes, sauerkraut and made the best wild plum jelly. She also made the best Chow Chow and a Pear relish (with a spicy kick) that I've not had since. She also canned mini-peppers with garlic that made the best hot pepper sauce for black-eyed peas! Canning is the best. This is such a great video!

[@siren858]

Hello Heather from Tasmania AU. Here in Australia, we call canning "bottling" and it's something I learned from my parents as a child. I don't have a pressure cooker so only do water bath method. My household aren't big jam eaters, but we do a few jars of raspberry, strawberry and blackberry each summer, usually to eat with yogurt. We have a large garden and lots of fruit trees, so we have a pantry well stocked with apricots, nectarine halves, plums, apples and pears (all in water) plus vine leaves in brine (great for dolmades & middle eastern food). Probably the most popular things I bottle are passata (like pasta sauce) and fruit syrups that we drink with plain soda (thank goodness for Soda Stream!) in summer, hot water in winter or to flavour/feed kombucha for secondary fermentation. All the best to you and your family, really enjoyed the video!

It shreds beautifully and makes terrific quick pulled pork sandwiches. Totally hooked on canning and so far the family has enjoyed everything I've canned. ❤️👍

Seems to me that maybe a good use for the canned squash would be fried squash and onions because they squash is soft in that. It would cut down the cooking time on it and that is always a plus. I am so glad all of y'all are doing this kind of video it sheds light on so of the things that just really are good to can because the can again stuff seems to be the same with a lot of the videos. Thank you for sharing with us.

[@teresabrowning6036]

This is my first year to can anything and I give Linda's pantry all the glory as she inspired me to do it.. This also has been in many a year that I've planted a garden and I had to have a garden so that I could can.. I loved every moment of canning.. Lol At the same time, last night I ran a water bath canner, ran a pressure canner and ran to the bath room getting ready for the dreaded colonoscopy test today.. Now that's a love for canning.. The water bath canner had 7 pints of tomato sauce while canning 18 pints of chilli sauce in my All American canner.. But I give you Heather the credit for my first ever canning project and it was the blueberry jam and my second was the pineapple jam. Both jams was a big hit.. My thanks goes to you and Linda.. God bless..

The Kneady Homesteader Thank you for the well wishes! I just watched your Aldi haul and I get great ideas from watching.. I searched every crack of our Aldi's store for those chocolate covered butter cookies and couldn't find them darn it.. However I did get the Tuscan trail mix and I loved it. I love the sesame sticks that was in the mix. Your 2 little ones are cute as a button and just wait until Mina (sp.?) is old enough to ask mom & dad for snacks in Aldi's, lol, you just might be pushing 2 carts in Aldi..

That squash would be great in a squash casserole. I add shredded cheddar, sour cream, and mushroom soup, a little salt and pepper. Put 1/2 box stove top stuffing in the bottom of a 9x12 casserole, pour squash mix over, sprinkle the other half of the stove top stuffing on the top. Add a stick of butter, melted or dotted all over the top, and sprinkle more cheese over that. Bake at 375 until bubbly and the cheese is all melty. It's really yummy, just not very healthy. 😁
