Prepare for the importance of preserving food and how to do it. In this video I discuss food preservation as a whole and how it is …
Absolutely, grew up on a farm thank goodness, it was till, plan, harvest, pick, and preserve.
Awesome vid- (new subbie) I'm still learning all of these things, but I've come to the understanding that "if/when" shtf the #1 thing I will miss will be anything real & green🌱. Good looking out & thanks for vids.
I’m hooked on pressure canner. I’ve canned so much even though our garden was a flop last season. I’ve invested in both types of pressure canners (stove top & Electric).
Thank you, it is so helpful for many of us to have you break down the basics. A lot of us have no experience or knowledge with any of it. We can always start where we are and make progress.
Freeze drier is next in my list. My husband and I are over 60 and have a small farm. We are gardening , raising, processing our own food. What if we cannot do that in the future or we become disabled or don’t have the money? That freeze dried food lasts 25 years! What if I got sick and couldn’t plant a garden one year? Devastating but freeze dried food could be my insurance policy.
I will say hands down canning changed my life. My husband supports and even purchased a third canner for me because he sees the importance.
I knew a lot growing up, but I’ve learned so much the past year. I never thought about storing water because we live in the city and have never had issues. I also didn’t know what an emp was, or icbm. Lol. We all start somewhere.
Very well said, Tasha! I'm pressure and water bath canning all I can right now. I'm also vacuum sealing anything that doesn't need to be canned for preservation.
Not everyone pays attention to what is being put in commercially marketed food. We learned how to make bacon last hunting season, this year we are going to try hams. Cured meat is something our great grandparents did as staples, also learn about a diy smokehouse.
I've been reluctant and a little fearful( of us eating ) of pressure canning meats but I'm going to have to get over it! I've pressure canned vegetables many times. Can on!!! Thanks for all the great info, Tasha!
Tasha, you inspired me to buy a pressure canner and learn the art of preservation. That was a year ago, we have canned over 350lbs of meat, along with lots of veggies !!! At 52 years old, you have taught this old retired Navy bird new tricks!! I have so enjoyed this journey!!
If we all say a little prayer for peace every night at 9PM, maybe the collective energy will be heard.
I really like dehydrating fresh greens. Most I powder, some spinach left as pieces for omelet , soups, etc.
I bought a pressure canner and the jars. I'm going to read that manual and work that pot. I've been procrastinating because I'm a little scared.
Can you put a link to American blackout because I can't seem to find it
One point…you can't pressure can in a pressure cooker because the psi is generally less than the measurable psi in a pressure canner.
I love my all American pressure canner. Don't even want the electric one because of the power outages.
Hi Tasha! Hope your day is good! Minute three… I know I’ve said this before, but I had absolutely no idea on earth you could pressure can food into jars safely to consume years later. Originally I was on board for vegetables out of the garden. Then, organs for the dog. Now any type of protein I can stuff in a jar! And I’ve been doing it since July 2022. We have over 600 jars of protein, soups , and stews. Baby! I feel good. I would have done this decades ago when my boys were young. Lost art for sure! So, I didn’t even know what a pressure cooker was lol and I definitely didn’t know what a presto 23 was! Love ya! Berkshires. Store shelves are still full. We are a little pampered here, for now. Peace. Whoa! I wig a bit if I’m not canning something weekly basis. Weekends 😮
YES Thank you Mama 🐻 for sharing this I have been processing my own venison for a few years and pressure canning almost 10 years now. I have an electric pressure canner and a all American canner. I use the electric canner almost every week if I make a pot of soup, stew, or chili I can the leftovers. The all American I have learned to run it on charcoal, wood, a propane stove and a butane stove I usually run it on the weekend.
Home pressure canning came about in the late 1800s. Before that, to preserve food people dried, fermented and or salted. (There are other ways to help food to last, like cool storage…think root cellar) There are many ways to do each of the processes, for example dried foods could be smoked, sun dried, slow heated to dehydration, etc. We really have it easy with pressure canning and water bathing foods. 👍
Great video. God bless you and your family.
Hey have a question. Can you use the jars we get spaghetti sauce in for canning?
Great video!
I also haven't been pressure canning lately. I only buy things that are on sale. Meat prices have just been crazy lately. I've been throwing my extra vegetables and greens in the freezer. I'm in the process of collecting them for pressure canning broth. I would like to thank you. You have taught me so much in the past two years, it's just unbelievable. I am saving for two large items, a freeze dryer. And a solar power that can run a window AC. We live in a hurricane-prone area. Keep doing the things.
I'm about to pressure can some ground beef, chicken, pork! I just ate my green beans i pressure canned and omgoodness so awesome in my veggie soup! Can't wait to garden and farmers market! I just bought the seal a meal… got to do it!!
In order to skin a animal the knife needs to have a dull point so the point digs under the skin and the blade does the work in just one motion.
Yes, three years ago I started, and I started with jams and jelly and move my way up!! they didn’t have any Kanas at the time so I went to the GW and picked up my calendar for $5 but I still would like an American canner. I also thought that I could use a pressure cooker at the beginning.. I remember myMother canning I thought it was a pressure cooker she was using, but it was not. They have lots of canning sites that you can join.
Thank you for always putting up videos. They are so inspirational.
Hi Mamabear! Hope you are having a great day.
My next goal is to make homemade pasta with no machines. I only have a pastry cutter to make the noodles. No kitchen aid or attatchments😁! Wish me luck!!
I want to start making Bone broth for gut health can you can that ?
