Heather, I’m starting to see that sparkle in your eyes again. Beautiful! All your hard work is showing. Makes me smile 😁 I know we don’t know each other personally, but through your videos and watching your journey, I love you! 💕 I know not every day is a good day, but I also know how strong you are.

Black eyed peas are better in pint size and only soak in water and a little vinegar for about 8 to 12 hours. No cooking before canning. Great video Heather!

[@aliciaj4616]

I needed to hear “do it out of love, not out of fear”. I’ve been meaning to begin canning for many years. With how the world is these days I find myself in fear and I feel almost panicked to get my pantry going. This was a great reminder to do it out of love and lean into the word and promise of Jesus. Thank you Heather ❤️

[@b1sofaspud]

I agree with you about the bacon, I wrapped mine in parchment paper rolled it up and canned it. It turned out mushy also. Love to can green beans, I put a tablespoon of dried onion in each quart jar when I can them. They taste great.

[@beckyoverstreet7478]

So good to see you coming back on KZbin! I know that your journey has been a struggle and I pray for total recovery for you and your family . I watched a lot of your videos on canning back when I was thinking about learning to can . You made it look easy and you always taught to do it by the standards that the canning books recommended so I started canning ! I first water bath canned some plum jelly it turned out so good and delicious and really was easy to do and I was hooked! I then I pressure canned some green beans and they came out prefect ! It’s not a chore to me it’s like a hobby that I completely love to do . I get so excited to get some food and go to my canning books or videos of my go to “Canning Queens” and can it up ! Seeing the food all processed and sitting on my pantry shelves brings joy to my heart . Plus it just tastes so much better than canned food from the store ! I just wanted you to know what a blessing you are to us watching your Videos on canning , and any food preparation of all kinds .. even videos of you sharing your healing journey all of it is a blessing to us as you witness that you can go through anything in life when you have God by your side! Blessings!💕

[@neldaproctor6739]

Thank you for coming back to something you love. I enjoyed your very first video. I look forward to going back and seeing your videos. Prayers sent to you dear as you go forward. I do my potatoes like this. Red Potatoes does not have the starch the other potatoes. I quartered them then cut 1" sections. Warm-hot Quarts jars with red potatoes, 1 t. Kosher Salt, 1 t. Parsley flakes, 1 t. Garlic powder, 1/2 t. Basil, . Fill hot jars with boiling water. 1" head space, De-bubble, Wipe rim with vinegar, then attach lid and ring. Tip the jars end to end to mix ingredients. Pour the left over vinegar about 1 T. spoon in Pressure Canner water. This keeps the jars from turning milky. I vent 10 minutes and then do 10 # pressure for 40 minutes. Let pressure drop to 0. then remove to towel to cool. I also tried Minced onions, Red Pepper flakes and they were so good not mush. Now this is just me but I cut my time back by 10 minutes if I had more to can because the water is already hot. I got this recipe from another Homestead Heart but knew it would help you to like canning the potatoes
