You could ferment apples.
Whippoorwill Holler has an excellent recipe for canning crispy apples. They turned out excellent! I highly recommend Laurie’s channel for down-home cooking and canning recipes. I am a new subscriber and enjoying your canning wisdom! Thank you.
Hey Carter loved your video and all the things you learned. Please don't think I forgot about you and the corned beef. I'm on dialysis and it was just a tough week. Give me a few more days and I'll be in touch.
Carter, I just love your channel. At 73 years of age, I've just last year, canned meat and potatoes for the first time. The Presto Precise Canner has been one of the best purchases I can remember making in a very long time. I'm still afraid of the stove top pressure canner. But, with that said ,I will attempt that soon.
I absolutely hate the regular canned potatoes (cannot stomach the smell). Will not waste my time, but I do want to can hash browns and French fries.
I've purchased the shelving to start our very own salad bar. Looking forward to having fresh salad.
I love how you present your content. You're very articulate, precise, informative and to the point!!
My husband watches with me at times. He enjoyed the video with David. When you served David his plate my husband said I could eat more than two. Thank you leaving the part in when David said I could eat 4 of these. We laughed and laughed.
I didn't want this to be a book haha, but it is, just wanted you to know I think you're adorable and I've learned so much! Thank you! Happy gardening and canning Carter. Looking forward to the rest of the year with you and David. 🙂
Hi Carter, I so enjoy your videos! I find you to be engrossing and knowledgeable and so interesting. Plus you love a challenge! Warm regards from South Africa.
Salsa verde was my favorite this year too. I vacuuming seal and freeze all my summer veggies. I’d love to learn how to can, but it looks intimidating.
Welll I am planning to plant 8 fruit trees for Florida. Some Florida peach, pear and plum, and I also started 3 more avacado trees from my tree I already have. Its been a trial, the garden did not do well last year and so I had to buy some and dehydrate most of it. I have been restocking my pantry mostly and filling in the gaps. For the first time I made some starter meals and was not so happy about them but they will be eaten up with some spice etc additives.. It was a learning curve for me. I usually only can the basics. Oh, I did buy a steamer canner and absolutely LOVE it. I canned and dehyrated milk and eggs. Turned out GREAT. Thank you!
Hey, Carter – thank you for this upload (much appreciated) I subscribed to your channel a month (or so) ago, and have since been enjoying it very much #BRAVO
I’m from upstate NY (finger lakes region) – about an hour and a 1/2 from Canada – aside from that, I am also a Co-Tennessee resident (Sevierville) – we’re there quite often.
I believe this is my 1st comment, just wanted to introduce myself, and also thank you for all your wonderful videos #WereWatching, #KeepItComing, #Kudos
I lived in SW Colorado for 10 years, where they would roast cases of green chilies out in front of Walmart and give them to you hot in a black trash bag. You take them home, peel and clean them, then freeze in whatever size you want. I've been growing my own for you. I like the Joe Parker variety. I freeze some on 4 oz amounts so I don't have to buy canned green chilies. Works like a charm. Don't can them, freeze them!
I would like to see videos on canning meat. I struggle canning meat. I have tried several times but I usually do not like the taste or consistency. Any tips would be great
I sure am enjoying your videos, Carter. Thank you for the great content. I’m looking forward to your meal starter ideas, especially Chicken Corn Chowder.
I did one month of the challenge with 3 of us and spent 35 dollars on dairy, because we don’t have a cow or chickens (yet). Broth is number one on our list! I can’t wait to see what you can this year 😊
I look forward to the Chutney Carter era of videos! 😀 Pantry challenges can really be a revelation to what we actually eat as opposed to what we think we eat. I love the challenge for that reason alone. I also think it's great that we all realize that we can't grow every single thing we eat. Sometimes, people get channels and want to hit home that everything is home grown. Well, that's just not possible for a large swath of people. And like you said, it just makes more sense to purchase those cans of green chilis or whatever. I'm never going to can my own tuna. We don't live near tuna, anyway! Many things! Thank you so much! I really enjoy listening to you and commenting afterwards. Many blessings to you and your family.
Thank you! I agree the year round salad is a great addition.
Carter I really enjoyed watching your videos during the pantry challenge. There are several of your recipes I'm looking forward to canning. Potatoes are the main thing I want to can. I can't stomach the regular type of canned potatoes, so I'm going to try your recipe. Thanks for sharing all the videos. Looking forward to seeing more in the future.
yes. I would love to see a copy cat recipe of those low carb tortilla.
You are so darn cute and positive! I love your videos!😊
I love your ideas mentioned here and am looking forward to trying them with you!
I live in a one bedroom apartment.Do you think and aero garden would be easy to use, I don’t have a green thumb. I always tell people I’m surprised that my artificial plants don’t die. I want to grow lettuce and cherry tomatoes. I an elder and my budget is really tight. Thank you
How about dry canning your sweet potatoes?
Hand raised (sheepishly) on the recipe for the tortillas, please.
Great informative video, Carter! Thank YOU! Every three years ish – usually in winter due to the heat load required on the stove in the house – I make about $400 (street value) of demi-glace (otherwise known as about 1.5 to 2 gallons finished). The cost to do this in January 2023 was about $40 so it is definitely worth it to make it occasionally. I then can the amazing sauce in half-pint jars and use those to make a high-end steak house style sauce (demi-glace is their secret) when sauteeing steaks or to add amazing depth of flavor and richness to braised roast beef and even pork roast dinners. This past autumn I made a big batch of French Onion soup which has been great to have on the shelf. It is great as the classic soup . . . and also makes rich sauces and on and on. Sometimes I blend the soup to make it smooth and other times I don't. Every two years I make a big batch of southern style Ham and Beans and can those to have with fried potatoes or corn bread (my late mother was from the South). I usually grow tomatoes in my suburban California garden (because I admit to being a tomato snob – haha!) but the farmer's markets and local farmers are so productive that I purchase anything more I want/need from them. I also buy a case of tomatoes from a local farm once every two years – usually when the New Mexico Hatch peppers are available – to make homemade Rotel to have with Queso and crisp sausage bits. If you or anyone else wants to know more particulars about how I do any of these rather unusual canning projects, please let me know. I am happy to share. Thank you for sharing with lucky us, Carter!
I use those same low carb wraps… I will be interested in your copycat recipe
Thank you for the great video! Maybe try dicing and freezing apples.
Excellent recap Carter! I agree about the meal starters. And I'm very excited for the chicken corn chowder. I love your lettuce plan. It's very convenient and clean. I'm in Canada, west coast. Zone 8a so I've got a bit of time yet. But getting the garden plan ready is exciting. Take good care!
Two items I have canned (meal in a jar) are Sweet and sour chicken from Prepper Potpourri and Dijon Chicken from Jeni's Scratch Made Kitchen. Easy to can and easy to put together fast with rice. Good luck.
Hi Carter. For low carb wraps look at a recipe called wonder wrap. It’s from a way of eating called trim healthy mama. I haven’t personally tried them but have seen many people who have and say how they are a good sub for traditional wraps. No flours at all.
Thanks for your time, I always enjoy your videos.
Carter, that was a great recap and analysis. I so look forward to your new meal starter ideas and meals in a jar. Also, the pickled apple recipe sounds very intriguing. I've never canned, but it is a definite goal for this year.
With respect to gardening, I've decided that I won't be growing potatoes, onions, or garlic. I garden in raised beds and those crops simply take up too much room for too long.
I look forward to your videos and appreciate all the effort.
You can always make sweet potato souffle with the canned sweet potatoes. Isn't it amazing how much we learn when we try something different?!? Great content.
