One thing I've noticed, since I've canned for over a decade now, is #1 regs change and #2 how much water is wasted in canning. Now that we're off grid, conservation with water, electricity, and gas is very important. If I was using a 2nd canner anyway, I'd have dumped that hot water into that canner to fill it up. Since the jars were sterilized, it's clean hot water. I'd have started with the first and only canner if I were using 1 pot and multiple batches anyway. I'm just thinking that if ppl want to can, they want the cost of their product as low as possible. Water can cost by the gallon (tho we have a well), propane costs by the gallon for heating the juice, canner, and hot water. Electric for electric water heaters and stoves. Not to be critical at all! I love you! But I never realized how poorly I used my utilities when on the grid with utility bills. Right now, we have to conserve electricity due to limited solar. But propane can be a huge cost. And like I said, if we're canning to save money, there's many ways to do that
Also the used water, when it has cooled can be used to water the garden instead of poured down the drain. A big hello from the dry land of Australia. Loved the video.
Whoww! What a difference four years can make. Your just as beatiful as ever but man has God graced you with so much poise and confidence and it really comes through on your current videos. Your such an awesome teacher. Keep up the good work, my wife an I are learning so much. Be blessed...
Hi Sarah! Love watching this and your current videos! You are a awesome teacher! You are beautiful inside and out too! I'm in my 60s and learning too! Wish I had been as ambitious as you! You and Kevin are so amazing! I don't live too Awfully far from Springfield, Mo Going to head up that way some day. Will check out Farmers markets if I do! Would love to meet you! 👩🏻🌾💕
I’m SOOOO glad you put this video up! I have tons of citrus in my yard and have given it away and frozen it. I didn’t know this could be done! I’m a beginner canner and this is so wonderful to have!!!
Sara your old kitchen was much smaller! The sound of your videos today is so much better. I like the old style kitchen as it reminds me when life was much kinder & people where friends. I grew up when USA was the best of times.
My brother brought me a case of oranges from Mexico, he's a OTR truck driver. The oranges don't want to separate into segments, so I'll make juice. Searching for the best method and Living Traditions has it. You are a lovely person. Thank you very much.
Hey Guys my name is Paula I want to say I am making chicken sew and I am trying your bread today and love it Thank you so much my dinner was awesome with the bread when I make bread it call for one tablespoon of yeast but yours was so less it was good my bread takes an hour 11/2 to do that is not baking time baking 35min it is good bread. Thank you guys God Bless
If you seal those space taker jars you'll have water canned in case of emergency. I have city water here and our lines freeze in the winter sometimes leaving us for days without water. I'm no "prepper" but I do try to be prepared for situations that I know are coming up.
Hi! Thanks for letting us enjoy CORPORATE SARAH. I can see & hear the difference. I retired from management with Hilton in 2006 & with the grace of God, have also transitioned to where I am today.
Hey Sarah, From Biloxi , Mississippi. We have a tangerine tree that produces some of the juiciest and sweetest juice. They are so full of seeds though so we have usually make a batch of wine. I never thought of making canned juice. I am glad to see it can be water bath canned. We also have a couple of satsuma (Mandarin) trees, so good! Thanks for sharing !
~~~ Yes Sarah that was a joy . And your kitchen was lovely. That was a great idea to put up that video for everyone Thank you my friend......GOD'S JOY to all.
great info to know. personally, I like your kitchen currently over the older one in phoenix. But that is just me! =) Other than that, I think you were born to be in front of a camera! Some people are just natural teachers and you are one of them! =) thank you again!
I use to live in Florida where I had orange trees, but here I am now in NW Arkansas, Ozark Mountains, and no orange trees here either. But it was great watching your video.
Hi Sarah wow that is awesome thanks for sharing an really not much change in your beauty you look as young an so talent an must try this one day love this yes beautiful kitchen also keep safe an Thanks for all
What an amazing video! I do love your cabinets in your old home, but I truly wish I had a kitchen like the one you have now, it reminds me of a simpler life as they say. Not that Homesteading is a simple life. But I love the older kitchens Thank you as always
I find that it is a lot of work to can, dehydrate and preserve but it balances out in the end because I don't have to grocery shop as much. The time in the garden doesn't balance out but it is my hobby so that is all fine. Thank you for being such a good teacher of all things homesteadlike.
Wow, I found an LTH video that I had not seen, ever. Both of you are such natural teachers, it is amazing, your girls are so lucky. My dad was a great teacher, but my mom, not so much. So I learned how to garden, how to drive a tractor(Iwas five when he taught me that), lol. I can change my oil, and thankfully I was fascinated by the Food Network years ago, when it started. My mother even said a huge family gathering that I was the best cook in the family. That was high praise from her to me!
I absolutely love your apron! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. Love the cabinets! That kitchen seems similar to your current one size wise and layout mostly.
What a difference 4 years make. Your technique has improved soooo much...your before and afters so exciting to watch your excitement. Wonderful wonderful family.
Hello from TN!; And you don't look a day older! You are much more comfortable in front of the camera! Great job! It made me miss our home in Florida. We are well traveled people. GOD bless
Absolutely loved watching your orange juice canning tutorial video! Your Arizona kitchen was lovely, but I love your homestead kitchen today! It's so spacious and the loving home atmosphere radiates through your videos! God bless and wishing you a prosperous and happy day filled with our Lord's cornucopia of amazing blessings❣️
That was a great kitchen then and you have a great one now too! Do you still have that apron? It's nice! You look great in both videos also. Thank you sharing this video with us. Have a great and God Bless you!
You look so much more relaxed now. You smile so much more. I think Ozark homesteading agrees with you well. I also enjoyed seeing you in your sanctuary garden by the outside shower. God bless you and your family.
THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU. I HAVE LOOKED ALL OVER UA-cam FOR HOW TO CAN CITRUS AND EVERYTHING INVOLVED SALT OR SUGAR AND NOT CANNING. YOU ARE THE ONLY ONE TO SHOW THIS PROSSES. JUST IN TIME TOO. MY LEMON TREE IS ABOUT DONE.
Wow you have not changed at all & because of your Canning Teaching I am now so hooked I am like a drug addict with canning honestly- I cannot get enough - so Thank You for your wonderful videos. Cheers Denise - Australia
As others have already said, I agree that you are STILL so beautiful!! While your old kitchen was very nice, I love your "new" kitchen. I love the scallops on the upper cabinets. Thank you for sharing your very informational videos.
Blast from the past 😁. I live in Oregon so no oranges in my backyard but I loved the video nonetheless! It was a beautiful kitchen but I prefer your kitchen now... maybe I’m just used to seeing it but I always feel like I’m visiting with an old friend when you guys are in the kitchen, it’s so comfy and real ❤️. Great video and God bless
Morning from Mn.....we'll we'll you have not changed a bit, love the vid from the past but it looks like your kitchen was smaller then what you have now, great video God bless.
Great video Sarah, and you diffinitlly have only gotten better in front on the camera. You're just as lovely today as you were four years ago, like a fine wine you only get better with age!!! Here in Michigan we are not able to grow citrus trees, but my mother always canned tomato juice when I was growing up and it was delicious!!! You're a wonderful teacher, you have a natural ability and teach with amazing style and grace!!! We all know how much the weather plays a majority role in gardening, and this year so many gardens are suffering. Blessings to you and your family, and may God still bring you a bountiful harvest to enjoy and persevere for the year ahead!!!
Oh my. I too lived in the Phoenix area, many more years ago than you. I left in 88. We lived on the other side of the "Valley of the Sun" out near Sun City. I grew up on a citrus and cattle ranch. The one thing I never knew how to do with citrus was can the juice. Now thanks to you I do. Oh by the way you CAN have citrus trees where you are. They actually have miniature trees, Lemon, Tangerine, Orange and Lime. At their largest they will grow very well in the mineral tubs. They would have to be brought in the house during the winter. I couldn't live without my citrus trees and I have the minis. I live in NM now at 6500' When we built the addition this past year one room is for my plants. LOL I am on the second year with them and actually have a little bit of fruit. I don't believe that I will ever have enough to make juice but when they are on sale in the winter this will be on my list.
I watched this year's ago, enjoyed it so much years ago. If you hadn't posted all the first videos you did hope you will....you make it look so easy....you did great.....🤗👍👍🇺🇸
You are a blessing to each one of us.Thank you for sharing your skills with us l learn so much . I can now share these skill set with my grad children GOD bless you and your family.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TIP USING WATER FILLED JARS TO STABILIZE THE CANNER ! None of the canning vids I've watched nor the Ball book mentions this and I did lose a number of jars to falling over.
thank you i live in south australia and so nice to think i can now put my excess lemons to good use, i never even thought of doing my own juicing and canning it
It was fun to see you back then in one of your earliest videos....and, wow! You were almost as good on camera as 4 years later! Just goes to show that you are very authentic and a natural teacher. THANK YOU!
Learned some nuggets from you today on basic canning technique. No citrus near our homestead in WV. You are a wonderful, thorough teacher. It is obvious that your new life suits you well. Your happiness with your life now bubbles through every video. Again, thank you, Rara Avis
Beautiful kitchen, but I also Love your country kitchen. Your older daughter looks like you in that video. I didn't know you can can juice. Good to know. I live west of Springfield, Mo. So we don't have citrus fruit growing either. Thanks for showing and looking back. God Bless you all!!😊
I'm just starting this adventure but remember my mom canning things out of the garden when we were little. She used to keep her jars hot in the oven on low heat. I guess that was the equivalent of them being in the dishwasher
Nice Throwback Thursday. You are still amazing, it is wonderful to see how your comfort in front of a camera has changed from then to now. Thank you for the information.
Tons of Citrus canning on UA-cam, it is interesting how some things have evolved recently. I still use the old fashion way as I have lots of lids still in stock.
Even though I will never be canning juice, it was really interesting and to see you years ago seen some difference in the hair and yes loved the kichen.

Be blessed...
Amen to that! I totally agree!
@@PaulaJoDavis Agreed, Darryl summed it up perfectly.

I like your white kitchen .
I just canned my first orange juice after watching your video. It looks like sunshine in a jar. Thank you so much.
Sara your old kitchen was much smaller! The sound of your videos today is so much better. I like the old style kitchen as it reminds me when life was much kinder & people where friends. I grew up when USA was the best of times.
Wish everyone who demonstrated on You Tub were as complete as you are. Thanks
Well said! Very good video of information that we can put to good use 👍 God Bless
You are so much more calm now when you are filming.
My brother brought me a case of oranges from Mexico, he's a OTR truck driver. The oranges don't want to separate into segments, so I'll make juice. Searching for the best method and Living Traditions has it. You are a lovely person. Thank you very much.
A blast from the pass. Very nice. Janice
Home canned OJ. Like fresh canned sunshine. Thanks for the info! 🕉🧡
Sarah you were a natural from the start! Hope the house is coming along.
Yes we grow a heap of citrus 🍊 in Australia. Getting my own citrus 🍊 growing soon
wow, that was only 4 years ago!?! The pony tail vice the braid makes such a difference. You seem happier and more smiles now.
That kitchen was nice but I like your kitchen now better. I do like white cabinets. Great video!
Love the apron. Like fine wine you get better with age. Thanks for the blast from the past Sarah!

That Was A Lot Of Fun!
Hi! Thanks for letting us enjoy CORPORATE SARAH. I can see & hear the difference. I retired from management with Hilton in 2006 & with the grace of God, have also transitioned to where I am today.
I found this just in time. Thanks I have 4 five gallon buckets of oranges off my tree today.
Hey, Sarah!

Looks like a relaxing area after a long day indeed
Good morning Sarah, good to see your face this morning!

Good morning Sarah! Love the video, you look. Any other "oldies" you can share with us?
I absolutely love your apron! Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Love the cabinets! That kitchen seems similar to your current one size wise and layout mostly.
I am a weirdo and I don't like citrus. I could do without this video. ;)
Really though, very cool to see old videos. I cringe when I watch mine. :)
What a difference 4 years make. Your technique has improved soooo much...your before and afters so exciting to watch your excitement. Wonderful wonderful family.

I do miss our pomegranate, lemon and grapefruit trees in Yuma however I don't miss the summer heat or the awful galley kitchen in our cute house.
Great video!
Cabinets were nice but I’m partial to the white ones in you kitchen now. They are clean and happy looking!
Blast from the past 😁. I live in Oregon so no oranges in my backyard but I loved the video nonetheless! It was a beautiful kitchen but I prefer your kitchen now... maybe I’m just used to seeing it but I always feel like I’m visiting with an old friend when you guys are in the kitchen, it’s so comfy and real ❤️. Great video and God bless
I heard you can grow citrus indoors as houseplants in cold climates, I'd try it but citrus grows like weeds where I live right now
Citrus will grow pretty well west of the Cascades just need to cover it when it freezes
Morning from Mn.....we'll we'll you have not changed a bit, love the vid from the past but it looks like your kitchen was smaller then what you have now, great video God bless.
Wait a min your sitting in your new flower area nice...
I didn't know u could can juice....but being from MN I guess that is partly why....I sure dig that apron.... thanks!
I love this!!! Just like fine wine you have aged with grace!! You are so much more relaxed now! Your waist is also smaller!!!! 💗💗💗💗💗
Thank you for the memory
Great video Sarah, and you diffinitlly have only gotten better in front on the camera. You're just as lovely today as you were four years ago, like a fine wine you only get better with age!!!

Your videos have developed very professionell throughout the last four years.
Your a great teacher
I have to agree ..Love that Apron😂
I want some orange juice now! Thank you. Oh and best healing and love for your family. God Bless

Sarah, you are such a good teacher and I learn something new every time I watch. Your family is lucky to have you God bless you all prayers hugs
My Aunt Mary used to have a "summer kitchen" so when she was canning she had fresh air and space 💚 I miss her sorely 😢💚🙏
This is super good to know ! Thank you sara for re posting this !
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE TIP USING WATER FILLED JARS TO STABILIZE THE CANNER ! None of the canning vids I've watched nor the Ball book mentions this and I did lose a number of jars to falling over.
Canning is certainly addicting!!
Our local high school FFA always sells citrus in bulk as a fund raiser. I now know what I am going to do with all that fruit! Thank you!!!
thank you i live in south australia and so nice to think i can now put my excess lemons to good use, i never even thought of doing my own juicing and canning it

just interested to know, totally off topic, how are your sunflowers coming along? I don't think I've seen them in any recent video.
I'm just starting this adventure but remember my mom canning things out of the garden when we were little. She used to keep her jars hot in the oven on low heat. I guess that was the equivalent of them being in the dishwasher
Nice Throwback Thursday. You are still amazing, it is wonderful to see how your comfort in front of a camera has changed from then to now. Thank you for the information.
That was a great video!
Very nice video, you've come along way. Your more relaxed and haven't changed much in looks, you look prettier now.❤
I like the country look of their kitchen now better.
Tons of Citrus canning on UA-cam, it is interesting how some things have evolved recently. I still use the old fashion way as I have lots of lids still in stock.
Even though I will never be canning juice, it was really interesting and to see you years ago seen some difference in the hair and yes loved the kichen.
Awesome idea. I have a lot of citrus trees here in North Central FL. I really miss having my fresh orange juice every day.
I adore you all. Ty for video
What a helpful video.
You look so much happier now! That was weird seeing that from long ago! Thanks
