    I accidently purchased half pins for canning my beans. Can dry beans be canned in half pints safely?

    • @foodprepguide
      @foodprepguide 3 години тому

      I don’t think it has been tested. That doesn’t mean it’s unsafe. It’s simply a smaller jar size. Whenever I size down to half pints, I still process for pint times.

But always "wait upon the Lord" even when it is hard to do.

    Freeze tomatoes & thaw, then peels slip off, quarter them to drain more & water comes out making a thicker sauce. Can’t remember creator I saw do this or would credit that lady. They had an overrun and just threw them whole in freezer and learned this trick. TY for content❤

    Pro tip- when you cut your bags and seal the first end, you don't need to seal it so high. Just put the bag where the end is right on top of the sealer bar. Also, not sure if this really makes a difference but the textured side is supposed to go down.

    I believe you can make batches of bread dough and freeze it as individual dough loafs and take them out to bake as needed. I actually do my big shopping once every month and a half and as I shop I do think about what I may be able to make as meals. I’m wondering if I should actually create a meal calendar. My sister and I have started our ball jar storage and I am purchasing the ball jar sealer system this week. I would also like to purchase the large bucket with the gamma seal for flour, sugar, and, rice. I am really grateful for the wonderful ideas.

    Meant to mention this if you weren't aware: bananas will keep in the refrigerator at the stage of ripeness they're at when you pop them in for at least a week. Yes, the peels will darken and you'll think they are rotting, but pull that peel down and behold a lovely ripe banana.

    I've only recently learned about your channel, but I've been pouring through your videos. You are extremely inspirational. However, one issue I always struggle with is time management . Both of us work 9:00 to 5:00 jobs and we have two small children who will only eat the same few items for dinner. I'm the cook in the family but many times I find myself just too tired to make anything that requires any brain cells. It also doesn't help that my wife is a vegetarian so I am always struggling to figure out how to make something we both will enjoy... Or it requires me making two versions of the same thing but one without meat which doubles the frustration. I've really been trying to get into canning, dehydrating, gardening, etc, but it has been a struggle to find the time and energy. It would be awesome to see a video on planning and time management for a day/week/month/year

    I'm surprised that the dry beans didn't need to be cooked longer than what you did here. I don't think mine would be cooked that much at all in that short time. Are you using dried beans that you grew yourself? For they would certainly cook pretty fast then, being so fresh.

    I thought lentils were not to be canned? Or is that just red or yellow? I love them but so far haven’t dared can them. Praying your mole is benign 🙏🙏

    • @foodprepguide
      @foodprepguide День тому

      My test results came back negative - all clear! Thank you for your prayers. ❤️ It wouldn’t be safe to can a jar of just lentils. But it is safe to add a portion of lentils to a jar with other ingredients and that has plenty of liquid. The NCHFP isn’t clear on this, but other extension sites list lentils as an approved ingredient in the “can your own soup” guidelines put out by the NCHFP. While the lentil recipes I used aren’t technically soups, they follow the similar guideline of half solids, half liquids. And the lentils are never more than half of the “solids” portion. Does that make sense? I don’t typically can recipes with lentils simply because I don’t like their texture when canned. But we have many vegetarians who watch our channel, and I wanted to do a “meal in jar” edition for them. ❤️

    I also have concrete beds and I went with this because I like the modern look. Fortunately, I did this twelve years ago when free delivery was available for the pallets of blocks I had to purchase. I believe at that time I paid $.99 for each block and $1.09 for each cap. My husband did this (poorly) and the whole system buckled and look awful within the first three years. Soon after, I hired a contractor to sink the bricks six inches in a gravel base and then stack bricks to a height of 30 inches. The bottom 14 inches are rough gravel topped with hardware cloth to keep critters from digging underneath to the bed. The remaining 16 inches are top soil and compost. My bricks are all mortared together as frost heave will cause the beds to buckle when the earth pushes against the bricks. Each bed is lined with pond liner simply because in 2013, I was not sure what exactly was in these bricks. I had top soil delivered and my contractor filled each bed (I have four beds that are 4 x 13.5 feet). Every year, I top off the beds with 600 pounds of top soil and 240 pounds of earthworm castings. I placed caps over the holes so that I would have somewhere to sit and because I didn't like the look or required maintenance of open holes. I amend the beds as needed every year based on soil test results which we can get free in Connecticut. In each bed, I sunk in two two-gallon food-grade buckets where I add my kitchen scraps and make my own compost. Red wiggler worms live in these beds and will travel from one bucket to another in search of food leaving castings throughout the bed. The worm population is large. I've never noticed issues with concrete heating the soil, but because my beds are so much deeper, I imagine the biomass of all that soil and the roots I leave behind create an ecosystem rich in water. Once my cover crops have been winter-killed, I throw a large tap over the beds to keep snow/rain out which minimizes frost heave issues. On the bed where the garlic is planted, the tarp is clear to allow sunlight. The tarps are removed mid-March once the soil has begun to thaw. If you were to ask my opinion, I would advise you to go bigger to at least a depth of four feet; and go taller to a height of at least two feet (three bricks high). That will allow you to ditch the landscape fabric altogether. Since I don't know where you live I can't speak to what you may experience with frost heave. Mortaring the bricks does not contaminate soil (soil tests show no chelates or chemicals). The weeds I see popping up come from wind movement and birds and nature in general. Plant cover crops in the fall to suppress the weeds; plant intensively so no soil is exposed; and mulch with straw. I like your style, and applaud you for foregoing the naysayers who believe blocks are bad. Well done! Subscribed.

    I love these. Do you have any suggestions for nightshade free subs. Allergic to all nightshades but potatoes without skins.

      That’s a tough one. 😔 I can’t think of any substitutions off the top of my head, unfortunately.

    Some of my favorite money saving canning items: meats, beans, broth, jams/jellies, juice, chili base, and soup starters. I appreciate you making this video and giving me some more ideas (like onion broth- I only make beef, chicken, veggie, and bone broth currently).
