    My girlfriend is going to show me how to can tomatoes thurday. I have never canned anything . I'm so excited! I'm 62 years old. I'm excited like a little girl.

    Doesn’t matter what else I am watching, as soon as TRH uploads I am exiting that video for this one!
  • @LurkerSmurf
    Thank you for showing the science behind vinegar acidity in canning! So glad you demonstrated the pH strips.
  • I like to can fajitas in a jar. Bell peppers, onions, garlic and meat. Then it's a fan and go dinner. I add the spices and a little corn starch to the broth when I heat it up. Dinner done in 10 minutes.

    It is amazing just how quickly we can build our pantry stores, with small bits, and little projects. This week I found chicken leg quarters at Walmart for. 34, in 10 pounds bags. I brought home 6,and I am cooking 5 pounds per day in a solar oven, then saving bones and skin to make stock. This will inexpensively refill my chicken stock stores for the season. 😊

    Your bump😊 You inspire me. You do what needs to be done… no complaining or feeling sorry for yourself. Instead you joyfully and eagerly serve your family. God’s design for women♥️
  • Today I pressure canned 4 pints beef broth, waterbathed 5 pints of pickled beets and onions, made 4 loaves of sour dough, ground up some dehydrated scapes and contemplating making dilled carrots. I also tore out my peas annd sowed yellow beans and lettuce.

    Why have I not been using cherry pits all these years?!! Great ideas today, Jessica. Mark those pepper seeds as "green" and then save some from when the peppers ripen to yellow. There might be a difference in germination rate. At least that's what's in the back of my mind from something I heard about seed saving. Or have you already tested out that theory and it doesn't make much difference?? And my, my, you're really popping!!! I forget, when are you due? You look marvelous, simply marvelous! :)
  • That's exactly what we chose to do as well. We started small with some freezing, just to get into the swing of doing something every day. Thanks for hosting the challenge - it's good for all of us to be pushed into putting food up for our families. ♥♥♥
  • Thank you for this video! Definitely need to try cooking down the orange and using an immersion blender when making marmalades. Perfect solution!😊
  • This is great. Not only do I get new ideas, but I am adding to my food supply for winter.
  • Hi Jessica!! Thanks for starting early! Your peppers look great!!! I don’t have a garden but I go to farmers markets and buy produce in season- and preserve them so I have them over the winter. I hope to be able to start a garden in 25!

    When I was a kid & we had stuffed peppers, I would do exactly what ur kids do: dump out the innards to eat, but then I use my fork to reach across the table to give it to my dad 🤣
  • Thank you for this video!!!!! I watch and listen as I get ready for church. And am sad when it’s a week of no video. I fully understand when you need a break. You are so hard working and a blessing for your family. Take good care of you too! God bless!

    My mom always made a stuffed pepper casserole by making the filling using chopped peppers and then lining the casserole dish with peppers. Spooned in the filling and baked. Sometimes us kids ate the bigger peppers and sometimes not but it works out great. I still make mine that way.

    You inspire me so much!! I watch these videos and think “oh, ok, I can do THAT with some of my peppers”, and “hey, that’s a good idea to make cherry jelly with the pits” (beautiful, by the way!) and just bits and pieces of what you do, really makes me think how to more efficiently use my produce and not waste any of it..
  • I never thought to reuse vacuum sealer bags. Great idea. I am getting serious about seed saving, too.
