After many years of looking for a "traditional" press, I build my own using plans from Planet Wizbang. This grinder uses a repurposed garbage disposal to grind the apples. It works like a charm!

Old Fashioned Pea Salad From Fresh Garden Peas
Just came across your excellent video on canning tomatoes. I've watched numerous other presentations on the topic over the past few years and must say that your's rises to the top with very clear, succinct, and most valuable practical advice and steps. One of the best tutorials I have watched. Kudos. I paid particular attention to your discussion of tomato types that you can. I grow a variety of heirloom and paste tomatoes in straw bales, along with early varieties. I can them all. San Marzano type is for sure always on the list. I also do Brandywine, Cherokee Purple, Black Krim, and Early GIrl. One of my favorites has become Blue Beech, an Italian strain that remarkably looks almost identical to your San Marzano Redorta. I will need to investigate the the Redorta strain. It's mid October here in the northland (Minnesota) and I'm holding out for continued warm weather to ripen my last tomato crop, fingers crossed. 4 thumbs up, 2 thumbs up 2 times, on your presentation.
You made my day. Thank you so much!
Great video.
when jar breaks bottom portion - it's a thermal shock, like cold jar/or jar content into hot water pot
I heard lemon balm is better than ozempic! I’m making this today!
Thanks for walking us through how you changed the recipe. I have to do that a lot as my husband is on a low FODMAP diet, so no onions or garlic… it can be a challenge to find recipes that work or determine how recipes can be changed safely.
Glad it was helpful. I also have a whole video on how to safely tweak canning recipes! ua-cam.com/video/QMuWLOjfMIc/v-deo.htmlsi=QObX0Ed4vNHEEePA
I have been canning for over 25 yrs and I aways tip my jars to get the water off, it does make ugly lids. Thank you .
hi again.. just wondering if you have any information on pineapple sage.. I have a huge bush growing and putting the odd leaf in cordial and soda water for flavour? any other uses can it be dried?
I don't have a lot of experience with it, but I know its used for tea, so I would start there. Use it alone, or add it to other tea ingredients like the lemon balm or peppermint or chamomile.
hi from Australia.... i have lemon balm in the garden growing ok.... I would like to dry it and give to family members ... what should I write on the label ? how to use ? and why? could you give me any specific information please. many thanks
Hi. I'm not an herbalist, and so I can't give you specific suggestions. But as mentioned in this video, I have a list of recommended herbalist books linked in the description. Also, start at 5:34 minutes into the video for a list of what its commonly used for.
Can you use any tomatoes? As long as it's the same weight. Or would I need to seed them so it isn't as juicy?
Yes, any tomatoes will work. It WILL BE more juicy if you use heirlooms. According to the "experts" you aren't supposed to remove liquid or seeds from tomatoes unless the recipe expressly tells you to as it can change the pH slightly.
Hi, i'm making yogurt and wondering how tight the lids should be?
Just tight enough to keep water out. You aren't trying to seal these tight, because they are just going to be stored in your fridge.
Well sorry I would never recommend this video to any beginner. You wipe the tops of the jars yet don’t explain the importance of NOT pushing the center down. Same for counting them. That could cause a total loss of a lot of batch
I've been canning for a very long time. I find we all have our "you must always" and "you should never" rules, and that they vary a bit from person to person. But most every time, it comes out just fine as long as the pH and processing time were correct. Tested canning recipes (Ball, extension offices, NCHFP), by definition, are vaguely written. Because they know that your dice may not be my dice. For that reason, they are written with a lot of leeway. Your kitchen, your rules. You don't have to use my techniques, but they are what works for me. Hope you had a wonderful canning season.
Shakshuka is going on my homemade Xmas gift list. Thank you. =)
I'm about to can a bunch of tomatoes into salsa. My wife passed away so I can make it hotter than I used to. I look forward to this canning batch.
I'm so sorry for your loss. But glad you found the recipe helpful. Hope it turns out great!
I love your common sense approach to canning. Your recipe sounds amazing. I don't have tomatoes anymore, but will bookmark it for next season!
Save the seeds unless it's a hybrid
I don't isolate my tomatoes enough for them not to cross. I've had some crazy combinations over the years from saved seeds. The San Marzano II from Johnny's is a hybrid.
Food Preserver here trained and certified through Oregon State, while you can use 'any' vinegar it must be 5% acidity for anyone wanting to use flavor vinegars or homemade (not recommended)
Of course. I'll amend the recipe in the description to say 5%. I kind of forget that you need to tell people that.

What food processor are you using?
What food processor are you using?
This is a Breville 12 cup, BFP660SIL, but honestly, I hated it, so I more recently went back to a 14 cup Cuisinart, DFP-14BCNY (recommended by America's Test Kitchen). The breville just didn't have tight clearance between the blade and the bottom of the bowl, and so I kept having stuff not mixed at the bottom (I use the blade a lot more than the slicer). I DID however LOVE the slicer on the Breville as it was adjustable, which is brilliant. The one on the Cuisinart is set at one height.
Short and sweet! Appreciated!
Thankyou
Have you ever added tomatoes and cilantro? It’s amazing.
I have not, though I've made fermented salsa. Great ideas!
That’s not a pickle pusher that’s a sauerkraut stomper..
Can you share the ph texting meter
It's this one. Note that you must also buy the calibration liquids for it, and it needs to be stored with the probe in distilled water or a calibration liquid. If the probe dries out, it may stop working. a.co/d/3eZ6wrl
Great tutorial, you do explain that you can use any spice you like for those with negative comments. But as a beginner canner your video is very informative. Thank you for your rendition. I am preparing my peppers right now. 👍
Thanks for sharing your garden tour,new friend here from Growing My Own.
So love your enthusiasm. Thanks for the tour.
Thank you for being clear on the steps.
I had about a dozen russet potatoes from the grocery store that sprouted in the bag last spring. I decided to plant them rather than throwing them out and I got about a bag’s worth of spuds this fall. I also covered them with leaves after planting in the soil.
CAUTION: multiple websites and other videos I watched all stated raw sorghum greens and cane contain cyanide (and sometimes toxic levels of nitrites in the greens too), so you should not eat it raw nor feed it to your animals without researching it further - cooking destroys the cyanide toxin from the cane. Please do your own research as well. Hope this helps. God bless and stay safe.
The music was really fun 😁
Ty, a must try, much appreciated
Let me tell you about Mr. Mixer he fixes kitchenade mixers from all decades. He also does services on them. Grease replacements on the gears, rewiring etc. highly recommend his service! He has a website. 💕
Thank you for sharing this recipe from the Ball book! I made a double batch and your measurements were right on! (even had a couple spoonfuls leftover to enjoy now). I will definitely be making this again.
I made mine with mango, honey, and ginger root and the mouth feel is perfect. Plastic popsicle molds worked great. Also, the Karol syrup was fine. I did add 2 T total chia seeds, flax, and hemp. This recipe is a keeper. Thank you.
Man, you packed all kinds of goodies in there. Inspiring! Thanks for the feedback on corn syrup.
@@cookingtheharvest No problem. Happy Sunday.
Those look good! I have a fairly big fig tree that looks like it will produce a lot in the next month, it had all summer to grow back after one of my goats got to it, so I might have enough to try this recipe. I’ll definitely skip the roll part though. For store-bought, I’m not a fan of fig newtons but I do like Fig Newmans by Newmans Own. They include the seeds so they have a nice crunch.
I love the crunch.
Thank you for showing how to do it. In a food dryer, will the nutritions kept intact of lemonbalm?
There is always some loss of nutrition from fresh (and even fresh as it ages). But the low heat of the dehydrator (lowest setting - around 105 degrees F) preserves a lot of the constituents.
@@cookingtheharvest Thank you so much. Helps me learning more and more about this 🙏❤️
Have you tried to dehydrate them and powder up? That's what I do.
I dehydrate a TON of peppers every year!
Plus, you should put your hot jars out of the canner onto a towel. You might break the jars because of the temperature difference.
In over 20 years of canning, I've never ONCE had a jar break from putting it on a counter without a towel. You do you boo.
Whoa!? You didn’t sterilize your jar lids!
No longer necessary. www.healthycanning.com/lids-for-home-canning/#No_longer_any_need_to_boil_the_Mason_jar_lids_or_even_warm_them

This is the one recommended by America's Test Kitchen. www.amazon.com/dp/B000G18A3W?tag=akotrx02664-20
Thanks for the tour. Your gardens love you.
I enjoyed your video and how you explained everything!
I only got about 2.5 pints :-(. Maybe I over simmered or my scale wasn’t quite right I just did the 4lbs of tomatillos
I'm sure it's fine. Tomatillos are quite acidic (more so than tomatoes). How long you roast will also affect it. Enjoy.
So glad I found this today! Our Chokecherry has finally brought a bunch of cherries this year; we planted it eight years ago and it took awhile. We also had lots of rain in the Spring and a very hot summer, so they are juicy. I tried one raw without knowing how godawful they taste raw. Will make your recipe! Thank you!
I love fresh pico de gallo so thought I would try this. What a disaster. It might be safe but the amount of lime has made it almost inedible. Unfortunately I made a big batch and will likely throw it out. I will use citric acid next time.
Yeah, as mentioned in the video, because the skins are left on, this recipe is quite acidic. Sorry it didn't work out for you.
Would that much sugar you'll kill anything.
And we're supposed to trust the government right.
I trust science. :-).
