Since findimg you last year, I had never canned anything before. I can EVERYTHING using the Amish waterbath method. I just canned 2 lbs of mushrooms (mushroom soup) last week. We ate it all from last year :) I used milk, butter, AND flour. DELICIOUS!!!!!!

[@Be_A_Light_In_A_Dark_World]

I grew up canning with my mom and grandmother. As a girl, there was no such thing as pressure canning. So like the Amish, my family for many generations water bath can & never have had a problem. I don't know why so many folks freak out. We also dehydrated as well as ferment food. I'm glad to see you are trying out "old school" methods. Enjoy your videos very much. God bless you and your family. 🙂

[@katie7748]

Largely because of $cience and f e a r m o n g e r i n g

[@silviamagda]

We only water bath in europe.

[@lisastewart4926]

The water bath meat looks so much fresher and tastier. Using the water bath method I learned from watching your great videos, I have - so far - canned green beans and carrots. This weekend, I will be canning the chunks of beef. This next week, I plan on doing potatoes, and then next weekend, I am going to water bath the cabbage beef soup. I cannot tell you how GRATEFUL I am to have found your channel. I never thought pressure canning was the best and healthiest way to can. In my opinion, it overcooks the food and removes nutrients. Anyway, God bless you for taking the time and energy to share your knowledge of and love for canning. Thanks to you I can do something I never thought i could. My mother and grandmother are smiling down from heaven.

[@lindafoster8182]

It might be the lighting but the one you said was lighter, looked darker. As long as they’re safe and taste good it doesn’t matter to me. I don’t like the browned texture though

[@eugeniaatkins9049]

My sentiments & current experience. I have made dried beans, spaghetti soup, potatoes, chicken, roast and have cabbage, tomatoes and ground beef for my next adventure…..Thanks a million & blessings. ❤

[@ApiaryManager]

I love the fact that you didn't even get a chance to taste your spaghetti soup. Speaking as a man, I have to say: if your husband ate it all, it had to be good.

[@smos1430]

I have been water bathing everything for over 20 years.... and I love love the taste of waterbath green beans vs pressure canned.... Thank you so much for being an advocate for this way of canning!

[@ModernPioneerHomesteader]

Where can I get the times of water bath foods. Like meatballs, pork veggies. Thanks.

[@ModernPioneerHomesteader]

I did pressure canned meatballs and it tasted like dog food 🤢. I did water bath and tasted like I oven baked it...yummy.

[@Oldfashionedmawmaw]

You know, maybe because I'm old school, I just think to myself that pressure canning is safer bacterial wise. But then again, that's how I was taught years ago. I've canned a lot of meat in the past years but if I was ever in a bind and couldn't get any replacement parts if I needed them for my pressure canners, I would go to fully waterbathing everything. Thank you for educating us on this method though. I think it's very important to have knowledge on this subject and a back up plan if you need one. May God bless you and yours, young lady!

[@Wachtel-Haltung]

In germany we are canning in water bath for over 100 years. But very much shorter than the amish. If you are interested try to get "The Weck home-canning book". And hurry up. The company Weck has seriously trouble and its not sure if they will exist in future... All things in this book can be done with any other glass. You do not have to use the specail Weck glasses.

[@barbarahuck3136]

Thank You for this information. I just ordered this and "Weck Small Batch Preserving". I water bath also. It's just the way I was taught and am comfortable with. I live in the state of West Virginia in The USA.

[@silviamagda]

I love their jars. I am from spain. What troubles they have?

[@salihbagdatli3603]

Hi ladies I give you guys a tip for spaghetti soup. I always use angel hairs pasta and tip for pasta to not go soggy and soft fried the spaghetti in oil first with bit of oil. Till they go golden brown not burnt😊

[@abbaelo]

Hi. When do you fry the pasta? once cooked and before its bottled (canned)? Thanks

[@salihbagdatli3603]

When you start cooking first fry the pasta then you can add rest of the veggies and chicken when it’s ready you can bottle it.

[@yourmomyvette7701]

I am so grateful that I found your channel. The country I live in- we don’t get pressure canners (unless you’re willing to take out a mortgage to import one); so learning who WB can from you has been amazing for me. Thank you

[@sandeepickard4526]

I have canned for forty+ years. I had a really bad experience with pressure canning so I just didn’t do it. Then I found you and now I have canned things I never did before. Thank you so much.

[@rebeccastuber1681]

I love all of your videos, and I so great fully appreciate all that Susie has taught you and tgat you share..I want to learn all that I can from the amish..And now more than ever....Thanks so much again...

[@DivaHill12]

Lelani, I was thinking about you all day yesterday. I canned a ton of 4 bean salad in half-pint jars, so we'd have them handy to grab for packed lunches. The only thing I altered from my standard recipe was using canning salt over sea salt. Talk about a beautiful jar to look at on your shelves! Thanks for helping me become a very confident canner who welcomes "rebel" canning. You have been a huge blessing for me. Thank you!

[@BH-gr2ds]

I appreciate that you give us your evaluation on the foods you've canned.

[@schonpassmore7500]

Just have to say... I just began canning (water bath) last month and stumbled across your videos and I absolutely love them! You have given me so much confidence. You keep doing what you're doing! ❤

[@kristakeith4430]

I added 1 cup of heavy whipping cream and only 7 cups of broth then bumped flour up to 1 cup. Turned out thicker like condensed cream soup 🥣

[@debbiebroughton7701]

Thank you so much for the water bath canning instructions. I know this is safe because it’s the only method people even knew about when I was growing up. I need all the help I can get to learn how to can vegetables.

[@marthahoward7734]

I really trust your opinion. Homemakers in Europe water bath can everything too. Our prices for cream of soups are very expensive also. It makes me mad that a can of cream soup is very near $1.50. I used it quite often and I know mine will taste better cause I can cook good. Anyhow, thank you for being you.

[@silviamagda]

That is true. I am from Europe. Here we water bath everything.

[@TheMarinemom02]

I was lucky enough to find your waterbathing potatoes video right before coming upon 100 pounds of potatoes for about 10 bucks. They have been delicious every single jar and now almost 8 months later we are down to about two jars. We use them straight up for potato soup as well as in recipes. They are delicious.

[@ford4life069]

I am glad you're sharing the methods you've learned from your Amish friends. No way they would continue doing something it if was making their families sick. I still use my PC for expediency but knowing HOW to do this the way others have for at least a century and not gotten sick from it is important I think. One question I do have. Do they always heat their canned food when using it or do they make things like chicken salad w/o heating the meat? I know boiling the food for 10-15 mins after opening the jar can render botulism toxin inert - my grandmother did it with EVERYTHING. Commercial and home canned alike. I just wonder if that is one of the steps in their process? To always heat it? I am very consistent in doing this just out of habit.

[@charmc4152]

I think there always used to be a "rule of thumb" to always boil home-canned foods for 10 minutes before eating.

[@amandasmith8316]

You are awesome. Hope you are blessed beyond measure. I have learned so much from you. It brings back memories from my grandmother.

[@dawntearle7862]

While botulism could be an issue I believe its a very low percent, as long as you clean everything. Thanks for showing us the Amish ways. Appreciate your videos.

[@mompuff]

I just love ❤️ you and your videos!! I have learned so much from you!! God bless you & your precious family!! 🙌🏻🦋❤️

[@710LENNY]

Thanks for the update! It was worth the wait.

[@nancywest1926]

Hey, lovely lady, its always good to see you and hear the wisdom you share.

[@sadegomez2720]

Great video as always. Please do more water bath canning videos maybe even desserts

[@TLStitches]

Thank you for this! I have been so impressed how beautiful the WB foods look! Nice to hear yout thoughts and updates!

[@JAFTOBpr9]

Thank you, for your bravery against the negative onslaught, and for doing All the videos you've done on canning.; Especially the water bath canning. My pressure cooker gave it up mid season and , we can't afford replacement parts and I still had a harvest to save. Also, I love all the work and visuals and information in your videos. I think my favorite one is when your Amish canner arrived and you unboxed it with us. I don't like unboxing videos- and try not to watch them, but you were so excited when it arrived and I'm grateful you went ahead and did the unboxing with us. - I never knew such a thing existed until that day. So, thank you. (Again). I'm fixing to go back through your all your videos and rewatch a good chunk of them. Thank you for blessing us with the information, and how to's; appreciate it a lot.

[@carolynbice4869]

Thank you! I do enjoy your videos. Oh...I got my ForJars lids ordered!

[@marysedita7326]

I followed your water bath method for a Chuck roast. So tender. Ty❤

[@joanandkeithdambach2015]

I watch your videos on KZbin Everyday I'm TV but I can't comment unless it's on my phone. I thoroughly enjoy your Rebel canning videos and I just got my first canner and I can't wait to get started I have learned so much from you and tell Susie thank you

[@bencarlos2555]

Thank you for the update!

[@lauralee6432]

I made your cream of mushroom condensed soups, it was so easy, and last week I used some of it to make my chicken casserole. It was so good. Thank you

[@ajalicea1091]

Bravo hubby, great job on your survey!!!😅

[@elmarievandermerwe6863]

Will you please consider posting videos where you show us how to prepare meals using the canned meat? I'm a little bit stumped on ideas for actually using it in delicious meals for hubby and I. Love your channel! Be blessed

[@alphastarcar]

Hello neighbor, awesome video! Cream of mushroom with heavy whipping cream will be in my kitchen soon. I’ll follow your recipe and can’t wait to taste it. I know it’s going to be amazing! Thanks ❤

[@sarahsincerely2.0]

Thank you for all your advice, I just got done with water bathing venison. Today I'm doing beef, a huge side of beef I had to cut up only got half done so far. I put jalapenos and another habanero. Then I cooked down some onions and mushrooms and put them on top of the beef in the jars. On the cook now! Glad I found your channel

[@sarahdenkins3431]

I am still with the Amish about the water Bath period I don't think we need to actually pressure can because because the almost didn't have that period so, that's what I do with everything that I have.I Water Bath everything that I have. It has worked out so beautifully! Thank you for so much For your tips and tricks!

[@Monkchip]

Hi there! Could you please do your Amish video on canning green beans please. It's coming into green bean season. Thank you! I love All your videos. You're genuinely honest and awesome 💯😎💯❤❤

[@Sandra-kk4tl]

My Granny would can breakfast sausage and store them upside down with a thick layer of rendered fat that would be at the top. I was very young and I don’t remember how she did it. No one else does either. Have you heard of this or know how it was done? No pressure canning in her house. Thanks for all that you do.

[@reidweaver]

I do the same. I make my own sausage and dry can it. I brown it first for flavor and the put in jars and put in the kids and can.

[@silviamagda]

My grandma would do that too. But I don't think it was canned. What she did was, frying sausage and sticking in a big jar with lard. The lard was always above the meat. And she stored this in a cellar.

[@poison4268]

Hello Esquimalt, from the West Koots!

[@r.mcdonaldtruckinginc9005]

Hello, I am new to your channel and also new to canning. I am not comfortable with using a pressure cooker and really do not plan to invest in one. So far my water bath canning is going great and I love that you have shared lots of water bath canning recipes and tips. Thank you Thank you. However as a new canner with a big garden I am up to my ears in fresh corn on the cob. I have done up some freezer corn however I really want to water bath some but have not been able to find any instruction on how to do this properly. So here it goes, can you water bath fresh corn and if so PLEASE share! Thank you and God Bless

[@juanitaholt3600]

Your so awesome thank you!!!

[@RRaucina]

I love mushroom soup and I have always added a good dose of vinegar. Seems that would help in the canning safety.

[@StephB3]

I just discovered your videos and I love them❤ I am curious on water bathing sweet corn. For sweet corn is it same as carrots/green beans?

[@hampaige1972]

Thank you for doing this update!!! So you talked about adding the dairy… what if we used powdered heavy whipping cream or butter? Would that work?

[@linf7954]

❤ your videos Can we replace vinegar with lemon juice ? Apples? Mine was a disaster in the pressure canner. Some jars came out with apple sauce & the others, kind of mushy / spongy

[@SouthFloridaSunshine]

Hahaha your husband eating all the spaghetti soup is too funny. Then not remembering to set one aside for you sounds so husband and wife. 😂You are a joy to watch.

[@amycharlie4017]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I am so encouraged by this! We harvest a lot of venison and I am excited to try water bathing it! We are looking for other ways to store our food and this will be perfect!

[@CarolinaOmaSteph]

I definitely like the water bathing canning. I was raise up with my grandma always water bathing everything. She would not use a pressure canner.

[@yardenrice]

THANK YOU!!!!

[@steveedingfield6408]

Great videos. My grandma never used a pressure canner. I’m trying to help get my daughter canning. Do you have a video on beef stew. Thanks your awesome

Thank you!!! You are so awesome and beautiful inside and out ❤

[@theresablumberg7253]

If like to know your thoughts, and perhaps Susie's thoughts too, on canning dry beans dry vs smoked with the physical acid issue. It's it really an issue, how do you tell, etc. Thank you for all you do!

[@conniemarquez843]

Love your channel! I was just wondering if I can " rebel can" water bath can, refried beans? Seems I remember my grandmother doing it. If so , I know not approved, but for how long to waterbath them! Love the old ways! Was how I was raised!

[@gaylemarcus7413]

I’m trying to find tutorials (that I can understand) for pickles, okra, squash, etc…I haven’t seen whether or not you have done any of these. I only follow a few people whom I trust, so…🙏💕☺️

Get together with @My Wild Holm Melodi is in need of WB and Pressure cooking !!! Melodi is veg but eats fish !!! So I was thinking of fish that you could WB that looks like salmon !!! I used to put a slice of beet with the fish it turned on out great for me !!! They go Live at 7PM on Thursday nights Subscribe and comment to Melodi !!! They catch Trout their on their lake and Melodi is building a green house !!! Love the PANTRY !!! I think the WB Is the way to go for the beef also !!!

I just bought a NESCO electric canner. Admi love t. I have ever water bathed anything but when it cools off I may try it

[@linf7954]

The All American is expensive my side in South Africa & having a power crisis doesn't assist at all. Ordered a 20 liter Basterfield (stainless steel), locally made in 10 - 50 liters, using it mostly on gas now & the gas seems to be better in keeping the pressure stable

[@dhansonranch]

Thanks for the update. I used to water bath chicken but I found that after a year it was not always the most appealing. I now pressure can it just because of time required and to avoid not keeping well for multiple years. Good job!

[@franderosier9394]

Can winter squash be WB canned in cubes? Do I need to add white vinegar/ lemon juice? Can I raw pack or do I need to blanch first? Thanks so much, I love your videos!

[@TheMarinemom02]

All right little lady, I’m gonna try your lids….👍

[@vswild7005]

thank you for the update on cream of mushroom soup!! So, you put 1 cup of cream in if it were the whole recipe? When you use the jars, do you dilute it? With water? How much? PS: I will say this about pressure canning meat. The fda advocates what I call pressure killing, not canning lol. In Germany, the popular guideline for pressure canning meat is 30 minutes, not 90. Because the science is that botulinum spores die at 240°F after 10 minutes. The rest of the time accounts for heating all the way through the middle of the jar, and some extra safety margin. So 30 minutes is really already a lot. There have been lab tests certifying safety and they were perfect. I do it that way, even with raw meat, and IT TASTES SO GOOD. Big difference. I recommend trying it, literally a very sophisticated country with over 80 million people does it that way, we havent died. Why would you have to overcook meat sooo hard in America when Germans do not. Don’t know, just wanted to share! It was pretty much life changing information for me, most people arent open to it but you seem to be ❤ God bless!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

You are so sweet and precious! Thank you for the update on the differences of the water bath and pressure canned foods. It answered questions I had had. I haven’t taken the plunge yet, I’m still a little leery. In my head I know it has to be fine, if so many people have done it for decades. My husband says he won’t eat it if I water bath low acid foods. He’s very sensitive about the possibility of food being off.

[@beverleyhuard3773]

Hi ,just to let you know,l love your videos .a lot of good information.lm new at channel.l do have one question,why do you remove the screw on lid.thank you so much for all that good information.🇨🇦

[@intentonmiracles]

I love your videos! Why can't you add the noodles,with out cooking them, just before canning?

[@onThisJourney]

I pressure can browned/cooked ground beef, dry without liquid. I like the texture better without added liquid. I also rinse it and drain. I wonder how water bath canning with the liquid would improve the texture🤔

[@ndnichols5392]

What about water bath canning enchilada sauce (red) with no tomatoes? I would love to do but can''t find out anything about it. I love your videos especially that you talk about water bathed foods. I figure if the Amish haven't died from WB canning then we won't either! Thanks!

[@elizabethbryant5626]

So I watched when you made the cream of mushroom soup. You said you put a half of a cup of heavy whipping cream in half of the batch. So would you put a whole cup in the regular batch?

[@SWilliams-01]

I was interested in making the cream of mushroom soup but I didn’t see any info on the added cream you put in. I’d probably prefer to make it that way but have no idea how much to add or when. Do you have an updated recipe for that?

[@Sarah-dk7mv]

Ive been creating my own pantry journal on everything I have been learning about waterbath techniques and recipes I would love to know when it comes to milk and butter would they be 3 hours? - shop bought

[@amandaribofpalmetto]

I wonder if you used the ABC pasta or the stars or something for the spaghetti soup, if you could use uncooked pasta. Since its water bathed for son long, it should be cooked by the time its done and *maybe* not as soft?

[@reidweaver]

I will water bath can anything and it always looks better in the jar.

[@patparnell1933]

Can you waterbath tomatoes and cumbers and maybe a little onion together? How long for pints and for quarts Thank you

[@elizabethhernandez6477]

Hi I tried to ask on the original cream of mushroom soup 😊 does this recipe make a condensed version? I am always looking for a Whole Foods swap for green bean casserole

[@bigbob16]

I apologize if I overlooked this in a previous video but did you ever steam can anything ?

[@rebeccastuber1681]

So do you have all the videos on how you water bath all the stuff.i didn't have time yet to watch everything you have listed...

[@deloressullivan8455]

Can you can in 1/2 gal. Jars & water bath them & if so what would be the timing to do so ? Thank you , enjoy your program ❤

[@beebeej1]

No matter waterbath or pressure i always use acid and i always season my meat i dont need any more added work when i open🙂

[@v1d9uy]

do you eat the water bathed meat righ tout of jar or do you pan fry ? or cook more ? maybe a video on how to ear / prepare dinner from water bathed meat

[@barbaramiller349]

Just wondering if you could can the spaghetti soup minus spaghetti then add it in when you open the “soup”. Then it wouldn’t be soft. Just wondering. ❤

[@Bee-Kind-Baker]

So, did the mushroom soup turnout to be condensed or did you eat it as is? Thank you 🌺🌺

[@amyl.3236]

So interesting.. I have been PC meat for 10 years and there has NEVER been a burned layer on top. My fat layer was more like your wb in coloration.

[@deborahpeterson9223]

I have watched many of your videos (and have learned so much!). I see that you add vinegar to potatoes and green beans when doing the WB canning method. I hope this isn't a stupid question, but, what would happen if you added vinegar to meat when WB canning? I have WB canned chicken and beef successfully, but I know there are people who give us grief for doing it without a pressure canner. Would vinegar mess up the taste/texture of the meat? ALSO: Regarding spaghetti soup. I wonder if it would make a difference if you used a larger type of pasta other than spaghetti or ABC pasta (such as medium seashell pasta) that would make it less soft. So many questions in my head! I think I'll make it myself using that substitution and see if it makes a difference.

[@Oldfashionedmawmaw]

Hi! I've never waterbath canned meat before but I do want to give you a tip on vinegar. And I didn't find this out till yesterday, but when you buy vinegar, make sure it says 5% acidity!! I got a new gallon jug of vinegar the other day, my usual brand, and did not notice till I got home that it was only 4% acidity! I had to label it as cleaning vinegar and not canning vinegar. Not only do we have to watch what they put in our food but also what they leave out! Don't make my mistake hun!

[@cynthiafisher9907]

Another commenter said she uses angel hair pasta, but she fries it in oil first.

[@charmc4152]

I think adding vinegar to meat would potentially tenderize it some. I think both the degree that it would tenderize the meat, and any flavor the vinegar added to the meat would depend on the strength of the vinegar and how much was used. A small quantity would probably only tenderize the meat minimally, and any flavor from the vinegar would likely be negligible unless a larger amount were used. The type of vinegar used may have more impact on the flavor in particular, though. These are just my opinions based on everyday cooking experience though.

[@beebeej1]

I make my own sofrito and i add vinegar to it and i also wash and soak my meat in vinegar or lemon/lime and i use my sofrito in everything!

[@johnwaniandy2945]

1/8 of a teaspoon of citric acid in each pint, and 1/4 teaspoon in a quart. If you look at the ingredients on a commercial can of food; they all use citric acid. I don't trust North American vinegar.

[@kristenwahlstrom5365]

I personally think the waterbath meat looks raw and less appealing lol

[@lindaodom1322]

Really like your channel! I want to waterbath but i have a glass top stove, 18 years old. Im afraid of cracking the top! Does anyone have a recommendation for an electric coil that i could use? Thank you!

would you waterbath cream of chicken soup using the same time of cream of mushroom? God Bless

[@deborahtofflemire7727]

What about butternut squash? I pressure canned them last year, I didn’t like them that way. Thinking of trying to water bath canning ?

[@shannancarson6953]

What about corn? Can we water bath corn, if so how long for process time and do you still have to add vinegar and salt to the corn just like green beans? If you’ve made a video about this, I apologize I missed it.

[@kath-phlox]

I made a large pot of vegetable/minestrone soup last week and it's fabulous. I just add all the veg from the bottom drawer of the fridge, tomatoes, tomato paste and lots of herbs and of course smashed up spaghetti using a tea towel wrapped around the dry spaghetti and drag it downwards off the kitchen counter edge, it breaks it to small pieces, I do make a fabulous veg soup. I don't can, I usually freeze, but this time I decided to freeze some and keep some in the fridge for my lunches, it's working out fine. I have no problem using methods that our ancestors have used for hundreds of years. If you eat bad food, your an idiot... use your nose ;)

[@ol-lurker]

Have you done bacon? If so, how long? 3 or 4 hrs?
