What is the ratio of soda to water? Also I have a 48 volt golf cart charger that I plan on using. Does voltage mean anything like less voltage takes more time etc?
hey its a doug and stacy video
She is the one who showed me how. ...thanks for watching
I picked up a Wagner from a scrap pile a couple of months ago. I thought that it was a griswold but some cleaning showed the smooth bottom and logo. Good Luck, Rick
Wagner is my favorite. Good luck and have fun.
Nice recipe..what is the shelf life of this jam...in fridge and off the fridge. Plz mention both
Please please please... try a prescribed burn and use clean manure as fertilizer. Some livestock manure is contaminated with all kinds of nasty shite. I am noticing that your soil looks pretty silty and dry.. i highly highly recommend a prescribed burn and yes your lawn will be bare for a season but what grows back will be only healthy native plants which will nourish the soil with very low maintenance. Sometimes genuinely the only thing you can do in order to create the right biological activity you have to just start over. Specifically I am talking about the non native grass in your yard keeping all of the insects and bees out! You need to attract pollenators and birds and all the good wildlife that is completely absent from your soil right now. Soil is actually quite a bit like the human gut in some ways. Occasionally you need to start over to promote a balance. Soil in my land is almost black and has a very special texture. Retains moisture very well and has a sweet smoky aroma like rotted wood in a good way. My garden were tragic before my burn and 2yrs later I can practically toss seeds in any direction and get crops and are quite happy living AMONGST the native flowers and grass and not BESIDE these things. I hope this issue can be resolved soon. I think you made good insights with this video and i hope that you consider a burn. Happy gardening.
Here is a little hack for you, use a pizza cutter to cut the fudge. It makes cleaner cuts and it's quicker.
Thanks for sharing 😊
Why are we doing hot water bath after filling with jam? And can we freeze these later?
I tought elderberries were toxic unless cooked? Please correct me if Im wrong. Maybe not to chickens? I have 2 and haven't harvested from them yet.
American elderberries are not toxic to humans when properly prepared; River Hills Harvest specifically sell and promote American elderberry products, emphasizing that the berries must be fully ripe and cooked to eliminate any potential toxicity, which is a key point to remember when consuming elderberries.
New subscriber here. Doug and Stacy sent me. I never heard of Wagner cast iron before, which is odd because it's my maiden name lol
We are glad you are here. Thanks so much. Merry Christmas
@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara You too! 😊
How often do you have to change the water? Or add soda
You will occasionally have to add water because of evaporation, but you should never need to add Super Washing Soda unless you are changing out all the water in the E-tank, which I usually do once a year.
@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara thank you!
I've used my grandmother's Wagner 8 skillet for years. Just recently we moved and I'm cooking on elec for the first time in years. I didn't know what I was doing and cracked the skillet. I'm just sick that I've ruined her skillet. Is there any way to restore a cracked skillet? If not, I'll probably hang it on the wall in remembrance of her. I appreciate your help.
Not really, best just to make a wall hanger out of it. Remember on an electric stove top, 3 pr med-low is all you'll ever need with Cast Iron. That will boil water or fry bacon. Sorry for your loss.
Your intermission music is pretty amazing!
Thanks for stopping by 😄
How to clean my cast iron
Here is a whole playlist we have on the care and use of Cast iron . Go check it out. Cast Iron: ua-cam.com/play/PLyyJQZ_2CKKYGRC4XBvrCWtJGKJJEORap.html
Thank you for the information, Doug and stacy recommended to watch your videos. Thank you 🙏.
Thanks so much for watching. We really appreciate it.
Doug & Stacy sent me. 🙂😊
Yay!! Glad to have you . Thanks so much!
Do you refrigerate after Brandy is strained and ready to drink
No, just store in a cool, dark place. Thanks for watching.
Wow! I have never been to one. Looks like I need to!
They are fun to go to. Definitely big.
I just boil it all up, let it cool then add wine yeast and nutrient. Not the best but alcoholic
Chris & Tara, thank you so much. I was always afraid of using my cast iron on glass top stove. I was debating on purchasing a separate coil cooking plate. However, your tips helped, especially not to go too hot with the heat. Happy Holidays. God bless 🙏🏽☺️
Thanks so much for watching.... glad it was helpful. 😊

Hey, thanks for stopping by
Это интересно посмотреть, спасибо)
Glad you enjoyed...thanks for watching
Thank you for showing your dial threw this process. No ware in the manual did it say during count down air dose vent during air tight. I had to call nesco to confirm this was how it worked. Most utube videos dont show this. Thank you 😊
Yay so glad it helped. Thanks for watching. Happy canning.
Thank you for your help
Thanks so much for watching. Glad it was helpful!
That kind of frosting has all kinds of chemicals, you can do the same thing with just sifted powdered sugar and peanut butter if you dont want to make the old fashion kind which is not hard.
Yes, you can... thanks for watching
My experience is For Jars lids rust on the underside Some rust is quite significant. I NEVER HAD THIS WITH BALL JAR LIDS EVER, Some of my home canned stuff both pressure and water bath with Ball lids are 5 plus years old and seals still doing great. I think they had a bad year with defects in 2021 causing bad seals but that seems to be over. I switched back to Ball lids.
Oh no, that's crazy. We love ForJars and have been awesome for us. Did you try contacting them. They have great customer service.
Thank you for posting this! Their UA-cam is just as worthless as their instructions. Over 4 years this video has been up and it's still helping. They should pay you a commission!! They should recall it for the mere fact that the instructions are not just unclear/lacking. What they printed there is completely wrong!
❤❤❤❤
Thanks for watching
SUGGESTION:::: FREEZE YOUR TOMATOES AN WHEN YOU NEED THEM PULL THEM FROM THE FREEZER AN POUR BOILING HOT WATER ON THEM AN THEY WILL PEAL THEMSELVES;;;;; NO MORE DOIN THAT IN A BOILING PAN AN WAITING FOR THEM GET READY TO PULL AN PUT IN ICE WATER... [[ITS LESS TIME TO PROCESS THE TOMATOES FOR ME ANYWAY]] YOU COULD ALWAYS TRY A FEW AN SEE IF THAT IS BETTER OR NOT..... JUST A THOUGHT MAY I ASK WHAT HOT PLATE YOU HAVE TO DO THE WATER BATHING ON PLEASE?? BLESSINGS
Yes, we do freeze sometimes. Makes it easier doesn't it? Thanks for watching...oh and just a cheap one from Walmart I believe
YOU CAN MAKE STRAWBERRY JUICE WITH THE TOPS AN THEN GIVE TO THE CHICKENS WHATS LEFT OVER AFTER YOU STRAIN THE JUICE OFF THE TOPS IF YOU SO CHOOSE YOU CAN TAKE THE STRAWBERRY JUICE AN MAKE JELLY WITH IT TOO JUST A THOUGHT BLESSINGS
Great idea...thanks for sharing
I WILL BE NEW TO THIS SO WILL ASK A FEW QUESTION IF YOU WOULD BE KIND ENOUGH TO ANSWER THEM FOR ME.... 1. CAN YOU CAN FOODS THAT NEEDS MORE THAN 90 MINUTES TO PROCESS?? 2. DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG THIS CANNER WILL LAST ME?? 3. I LIVE AT 1114 ELIVATION WOULD I USE THE GREEN PART INSTEAD OF THE BLACK ONE?? THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME... BLESSINGS
Hello...thanks for watching. Yes, you can can food for more than 90 minutes with a NESCO Smart Canner The black exhaust weight on a NESCO Smart Canner is used for altitudes below 1,000 feet above sea level, while the green exhaust weight is used for higher altitudes. And as for how long...hopefully a long time. Love mine. Hope this helps...and make sure and READ your manual FIRST.
@@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara OOO THANK YOU FOR GETTING BACK TO ME SO QUICKLY BLESSINGS
Absolutely
Thank you for your video tutorial. I have a new Nesco and carrots will be my first attempt to use it.
Easy Peasy....happy canning 🥕🥕
No man! Why mashing the berries??? Jig!!!
Just how we prefer it. How do you like yours?
@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara Stiff and quite "intact". Busy, right now to start the gas to cook some. They do "perish" from cooking but I love them whole as can be, but sweet with some lemon juice and little cinamon.
Super sticky!
@@alexanderwilliams-hoffman5436 give them a try...they are yummy
Great set up. But stainless steel gives off chromosomes!!! Chromosomes are cancerous. Get rid of it
I like how you're banging out all the layers and then let it cool down after the last layer. Most of the demonstration videos on seasoning cast iron, they tell you to let it cool off before taking it out of the oven.
Thanks so much for watching and commenting. We appreciate it.
We did round bars and 2x4s The chickens preferred the 4”side of the 2x4s, so we got rid of the round bars. 2x4s make more sense in the winter because they can completely cover the feet and not get frostbite
Everyone seems to have different opinions on this....but so far, this has worked best for us in our years of having chickens. We do have a small "square" roost they can use as well. Some do, and some don't. Thanks for watching. we appreciate it.
I thought the water has to be 1 - 2 inches above the jars. It doesn't look like it was in this video. It doesn't look like there's even enough space above the jars for that amount of water.
We had the correct amount per book...try it ...works great
@@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara so it was at least an inch? I couldn't tell. Thanks.
Yes
Wicked good video, no frills, just the facts; I appreciate it.
We appreciate you watching!
What exactly are you teaching anyone? Music is loud
It's a "short"...but we do have a full video. Go check it out
How does the gas escape... Under the edges of the plastic wrap?
Awesome video, great setup especially having it on wheels.
Thank you, and thank you for watching... We appreciate it.
Your weight is a 15 . That is why the pressure kept rising. I you are under 1,000 feet elevation get the presto weights and you can choose the 10 pounds. Great video. Thank you"
That’s the banshee screaming letting you know death is coming ☘️
Oh gosh lol
Did u put it in the nesting boxes too? The reflectix
No, we ended up just putting on walls, ceiling, and door. Thanks for watching.
@@ASimpleLifewithChrisTara great ty for answering
You should just keep the end part for easier holding when shredding since you are cutting such a big chunk out! Too much waste!
Good idea...yes, but some of our were not so good. Thanks for watching.
I literally just heard that when i touched a tree limb 😢😮😮
Is it necessary to put fencing around them?
That was for us personally to keep our animals away...and from other members in our house from cutting it down...aka kids lol
My hubby and I are already praying to be able to attend next year 🙏 Beautiful job, Stacy! We were praying for you all over the weekend 🩵
You will love it...
Thanks for the simple, straightforward directions. That was a big help for my first time using this machine!
Hope you love it...so easy . Thanks for watching
I have this exact stovetop model, but I use one of the later versions regularly, it's an electric model. I absolutely love it. During the weekdays before work I use a regular Mr coffee drip maker that I set up the night before because it's just faster, but on the weekends I get out the Corning electric percolator. Still have never tried this stove top one I will have to maybe try it tomorrow morning.
Yessss, give it a try
