Excited to see the frozen tomato video! Have you been using your freeze dried tomatoes?
@@aNte403 yes i have! We have made a couple batches of spaghetti sauce with the freeze dried sauce and diced tomatoes! I have found though when reconstituting the sauce it doesn’t make very much sauce at all so I have used up quite a bit of it already!
Are those pint jars or quarts?😬
@@kellyestrada2456 pints! 1/2 cup dried beans for one pint :)
Ty
Keep those kids away from the stove, it’s cute…but dangerous
Good, UA-cam video
Ty!
Thanks! This couldn’t have come at a better time! Have had my FD for about a week, and haven’t dried anything other than the bread run. Was wondering just yesterday if rhubarb would be a good candidate, so thanks very much 😊
@@johnsmith-ds5yt I’m going to try it in a pie in a few weeks! Should be great with how it reconstituted!
@ Sounds delicious. Put 6kg of homegrown mulberries, raspberries, loganberries and strawberries in yesterday that are drying now., rhubarb and bananas in the freezer for the next run. Thanks for the inspiration!
Nice Vlog
Ty!
Great video!
@@Bigdeezly911 thank you!!
Have you considered planting some of the peach pits to grow your own peach trees?
@@tammystoddard4690 we have five peach trees but they are only two years old so they have not produced enough! Hopefully in the next year or so we can get all of the peaches from our trees :)
I'm new to gardening, so I've been following pages like yours... I see that you're kinda new, so if I may give you a suggestion... at the beginning of your videos, can you introduce yourself and let us know what zone you're in (besides being in Michigan)? Otherwise, I appreciate the info you are sharing... thanks 😊
@@tammystoddard4690 thank you for the feedback! I do usually try to introduce myself but must have missed this one because I was doing a few videos at once 😵💫😆 I will be more aware! And yes I will mention the zone. I’m in zone 6 :) I’ll try and keep sharing all the new tips and tricks I find!
Music is a little loud ma'am

Awesome video! I'm in the canning soup mode, gonna add this one to my list! Thank you!

Great tip!

Love your helpers! I’m going to attempt peaches for the first time This Australian summer, so you’ve helped me so much with this video.
@@shannonkatereadsstuff good luck! It is pretty easy and great peaches that last all year!
Keep it up, I appreciate it, it's a good and beautiful effort.😊
😊😊
What a beautiful family your have. Watching you with your daughter canning reminded me of my mom when she was teaching me. 64 years old now and it was like yesterday. I hope your daughter really enjoys canning as much as I did and do now. I can all the time. Thank you for the great memory of mom. Great video. Cheers.
@@sheilaMagilicudy thank you 😊 I hope she takes it along with her! Glad you had such good memories with the video! I’ll post more of us coming soon!
I wish I’d been able to learn from my mum. Definitely teaching my daughters in law to can
I am a new subscriber. The videos are very nice.
@@mohammedal-rubaye7947 thank you for subscribing!
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I only have 9 chickens, ages 14 to 16 weeks old. I would be devastated if i lost any of my birds due to a predator. I hope your new birds do well for you. Good luck.😊
@@w.knudsen5570 thank you! They all seem to be doing well now and have a full flock! We have learned the hard way how to secure the run and coop! Hope your birds do well!
Hello Dear, your videos are very nice, but I think you don't take good care of your youtube channel. Because I saw that you upload videos every day but your videos don't have good views, no engagement, no subscribers. I think you need to fix these problems very soon. If you want, you can discuss this matter with me in details
Getting ready to start this year's batch for myself and family! If anyone says it's too harsh to take a shot, have them add some honey to it! Really cuts the taste and still gives the beneficial properties!
@@Garden-ish YES! And the honey has so many benefits for fighting colds as well!

TY, i will definitely go buy more peaches to can this way. Already made peach jam. I like this idea too. Be blessed. ❤

You did this for me, didn’t you? 😆
@@hollywatkins2359 yes! I told Steve I had to get it up quickly for you!
Cold peach cold jars u doing so wrong 😢
@@carmendoyle9786 the jars are not cold they are hot :) the peaches are room temp and the syrup is simmering at 180 as well so when putting in the canner there is not temp shock because everything is hot still
Keep up the good work guys. Need to protect your investments. There will be some big humps in the road ahead, but that's how we learn about farm life or simply life in general. Love the coop btw.
@@GlenHachey thank you! It’s a big learning curve that’s for sure! But we are committed and enjoying the farm life :)
Hello! Thanks for your video. Your process is very similar to the way my mother and I canned many years ago in the 80s, so I enjoyed your simplistic steps and information. Question: My neighbor asked me to can some peaches from his peach tree; they are somewhat bruised/ parts are now black, so I know I will need to cut away the bad part of each peach. Do I cut away the bruised part before blanching/sweating to remove the skins? Any advice will be helpful, as I don't have a canning group who can answer such questions. Thanks!
@@bobbilung13 I would cut first then blanch them. That way your not contaminated anything but I really don’t think it matter either way because you are processing the “good” part of the peaches only. But I like to keep it as easy as possible and it is easier for me to cut them with the peel on then blanch and peel :)
Such a good video. Love how you are very concise and explain things very carefully. BTW, I have that same shirt from Amazon lol love it. That's my office too.
@@southernskytngarden thank you for the kind feedback! Yes Amazon shirts for the win 😂
Such good information! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for a clear and concise video! Your kiddos are darling too!
@@southernskytngarden thank you! They love to get in the videos :)
Nice job on the coop and run!!!
@@stephanieg5770 thank you 😊
Why do you Debbie the jars with the sharp end of the green tool? Turn it around and use the smooth rounded end. lol
@@Harphoney I’m not sure why I did in this video 😂 thanks for catching that!
My wife loves the Buff Orphs. We had some but no more, maybe later!!
We love them too!! They are very broody so we are hoping to get babies from them 😊
I thought you had to pressure canned peaches not just a water bath??
@@donnadrum-thomas6097 nope! You can water bath can them :)
great, i won't be canning as many. thanks.
Check out how I care for my tomato plants all season in the link above!
You stop and start too much
@@kimwolfe9852 thank you for the feedback! We are still learning what is best! I’ll let my husband know since he does most of the editing!
Very nice! I see I have a lot of catching up to do.
Cold peaches in hot jars is asking for thermal shock. Put the jars on a towel, fill with peaches, fill with syrup. Wipe rims. Put lids and rings on, finger tighten. Put in cool water bath canner. Ensure the water is over top of jars by an inch. Process for time recommended after it reaches a boil. Remove and place on towel. Allow to cool remove rings.
@@badgirl44654 yep this is how I did it. Except the peaches were not cold they were room temp so the shock isn’t there. I filled with hot syrup to match the hot jars then placed in the water bath canner. Always put hot jars on a towel for sure or they can burst on the counter
It is no longer recommended to heat lids before canning.
@@badgirl44654 yes I am aware but I still do it because that is what I have always done :)
I have a question please, since you added the fruit fresh to your peaches in the water, you don’t have to add fruit fresh to your quart jars?
@@teresacesario6247 correct. The fresh fruit preserves them until ready to can then they keep the color :)
I think it’s busting up and out of the dirt when it’s ready. Wee too soon!
@@Jennifermcintyre yes. I’m not taking anymore out for a few months 😆
Perfect 👍 that's how the cookie crumbles.
At least you GOT a carrot 🥕!
@@terriseaton3049 yes that is true!!
Thus happened to me too! 😢
@@Simple_Simi it’s so sad!!!
