A lot of helpful information. Thank you. At 73 yo, I bought my very first pressure canner last week. I think I'm finally over my fears of pressure canning. HalleluYah! Blessings from N. Alabama 🤗
Thanks for taking the time to show all of us what we need for canning. People I know laugh at me when I snatch up canning jars, lids and rings when I see them. You can never have enough.
I just started steam canning and it is so fun! To have people teach the important things in this community has been invaluable to me. I pray for each and everyone of you that teach. Thank you!
Each video that you post, I am a wee more confident lol ugh ❤ Thank you for taking the time to help those of us who so desperately want to learn and do it right- for our families ❤ would you believe that I have everything needed....except 100% confidence haha I'm soooooo close tho!
You can do it! I was nervous too and then one day I said Heck just do it! I even splurged and bought the Ball electric water bath canner and I haven’t looked back! I just know you’ll do great and have a “Ball” 😉!
You got this Dawn! Just do it! I was scared at first too. First thing I ever canned came from 15 bags of cranberries. I had juice concentrate, jelly, and sauce! If I can do this you can too! Trust yourself and all you have learned and trust the science!
Hopefully by this point you’ve jumped in and are thoroughly enjoying the sense of accomplishment! What a joy to have food you prepared yourself and beginning of food security for you and your family. I like to can with my daughter sometimes. Perhaps you have a friend or family member to join your adventure.
I've watched the ladies in my family can up until my teens. I canned early in my marriage. I'm out of practice but your videos are helping me look forward to a bountiful garden without being as nervous getting ready to can.
You turned me on to the use of a roaster in batch canning a couple years ago, and it was a game changer! I now have two, one from goodwill, and one from marketplace.
At this point I’m fairly convinced that you are superwoman. Thank you, thank you, THANK you for giving us a glimpse at what this lifestyle looks like while working full time. I love so many homestead channels, but I feel like many of them are people who have been able to transition to quitting their jobs and relying on UA-cam or other sources of income. I love that for them, truly, but as a working wife and mom sometimes it feels like I will never have the time, and seeing what you and your husband have been able to accomplish has been more encouraging than you’ll ever know. I so appreciate your channel and everything you share!
Started my canning journey and I’ve been watching all your videos about canning. I’m sharing this weekend with water bath canning, jellies and pickles to get my feet wet. Super excited.
I love anytime you do a back to basics! It helps me simplify and process everything and to not be as overwhelmed. This 23 year old definitely appreciates all the advice and tips you give.
It was such a joy to watch you share your canning 101 knowledge with all of us. I am retired and living in a senior apartment, but recall the days when I put up all the produce from my garden. I passed on all my canning equipment, but sure do have the itch to at least jump back into it and put a few shelf stable items on my pantry shelves.
Great advice. I started canning 40 years ago but haven’t done any the last few years. This helped me remember things I need to get back into it. Thanks for sharing. I hope you’re enjoying this beautiful weather we are having here. Stay safe.
I have been extremely fortunate to have been given 2 All American Canners , my 921 is my work horse . Last year I purchased a Steam Canner and after the first time I was in love.
I am a new canner and love how much I have been able to learn. I was so overwhelmed with all the info out there but with everything going on, and the lessons lived and learned after hurricane Maria and the recent pandemic, I want to make sure my family has the necessary nourishment when the need arises. Thank you for sharing with us and breaking it down to “easy understanding”.
I am LOVING what you do... both in your life and on your homestead. I farm/ranch/homestead out in northeastern Colorado on the prairie. I love listening to you and you perspective. You truly have a talent for teaching... the truth and sensibility and reassurance you offer is such a fine gift.
Thank you. I am a new canner myself and I find your videos very helpful. After this year’s Canuary, I grabbed the bull by the horns and started pressure canning. Now, I am addicted and enjoying every minute of it. Plus, it gives me piece of mind that I am able to take care of my family and provide food insurance. Again, thank you. Happy St. Patrick’s Day ☘️
I've been canning for more than 49 years, but this was very helpful, to remind me 9f things I need to get my supplies ready for canning season...I hate having to run to the store mid project because I didn't have my supplies gathered ahead of time.
The baby chicks are just so adorable. The one piece of equipment my mom has been able to pass onto me is her water bath canner and I am grateful we have it. I have been looking at the thrift stores around here and all I can find is coffee pots. Apparently, people in Northern Michigan love their coffee. I've been looking for a kitchen aid for the last five years. I found one at Salvation Army, but I wasn't sure of the price. When I went back it was gone. I still want one. I like how you have your rings displayed.
Back to basics! I agree that the roaster is a great tool and it makes a big difference in time savings. After this past year, we know how important it is to have a big back-up of jars and lids. Thanks!
You are correct about the nesco I bought a roaster after watching you do broth and tomatoes you are correct the Crock-Pot doesn't do it I am so pleased with adding that roaster to my collection of canning items. Thanks Rachel for taking time out to help us all have a better understanding of canning and equipment needed
I love the way you are storing your rings. When I was a kid there were rings all over the kitchen getting hung up in drawers, etc. Thank you for all the tips and ideas. Such great information.
This brings back memories of long ago. Coming from a very large family. We always had a garden and my mother canned a variety of foods. Some of my favorites included, cinnamon pears, spiced crab apples, piccalilli, chow chow and green beans with Shellies.
Thanks for the great overview! Canning jars are hard to find, but I found 6 quart jars at a thrift store the other day! Excited to get more food on the shelves!
Clear-jel is what you were trying to think of for pie fillings! Great tips for newbies. Also, I use any salt that is pure, no additives (Such as iodine) to can.
Lovely as always. The thing with jars is, if you happen to really like canning--you're going to need a lot of jars, I'm learning! I started beginning of February and I think I'm up to 60 jars canned now. Hopefully once some jar stock is established not too many will break each year, so there's less up front cost. Keeping my eyes open for a roaster oven! Thanks again for the video.
I really appreciate the Basics videos. There are definitely items that I never realized were important like pectin, canning salt, pickle crisp and vinegar. I have most of the basic equipment but the items that make it all more useful is ideal. Thanks so much.
I also reuse food jars. My Amish friends reuse everything and their grocery stores sell new white lids for all jar sizes. I love the for-jar lids as well. I ordered them back in January when they were on sale and Leisa had her discount code. I use the pickle crisp in my pickled banana pepper rings. Works great. Clear - jel is for pie filling. My Amish friends introduced me to Therm - flo. It doesn't break down in canning like cornstarch does. Great video for learning. You have a wealth of knowledge. Thanks for sharing!
I'm excited for this season. Started my seeds this morning for this year. Started seeds for the first time last year after watching you start yours. I had at least 98% success :) I had to give so may plants away, they did so well :) I canned all summer/fall. And I just love it. I've grown gardens for 25 years and canned that long, but it sure is fun to start from scratch. I have been seed saving as well, so excited to see what I can grow from them. God Bless
I am so inspired by you! I am living in a town house so I have to purchase my produce from local farmers markets and stores when things are on sale. Support your local farmers!
Oh my thanks for the reminder about the salt and crisp, getting on that now. I am so grateful all of you are making these videos for those of us who are not experts. I am learning so much.
I'm loving all your info on canning!! Thanks for refreshing my memory from 40 years ago when I canned. Next I'm doing grape jelly and peach jam! My husband says I have jar radar because I spot jars at goodwill and in stores and grab them lol! Have a great night!
I never use my roaster for anything other than my Turkey at thanksgiving. Watching you can with your opened up a whole other world of possibilities to get more use out of it! I even like how you recently shared why you add water under the insert.
Your antique canner that you keep for looks is what I use for my canner. It belonged to my grandmother-in-law which my mother-in-law inherited, then I inherited it. It’s been doing a great job, and all the original parts are still on it. And yes it has been checked out by the local canner Expert.
There's some wonderful suggestions here. I have put hundreds of jars of delicious food on my shelf in just 2 years with just a $20 water bath canner from Walmart and a set of tools in the box for $10 and whatever most people have at home, and JARS. I do have a 16 qt pressure canner that I haven't used yet, only 2 solid years in so I'm working on it. I have a lot more tools now and it does help but not necessary o get the job done. I can't emphasize enough to start small.
Great information! It is amazing how as we progress as canners, our equipment advances to the next step. Using a roaster oven would never have been on my radar in the beginning. My first purchase was a large pot to hold all the goodness, then a Mirror canner that held 7 quarts or 8 pints. I would can 60 quarts of green beans so it took a long time. When my mom stopped canning she gave me her canner and it only held 5 quarts. Something I never knew as a child helping in the kitchen during canning time. i gained a great respect for my parents and grandparents who always grew a garden and canned and processed food all summer. The one thing I never did in my early canning was meat but over the past 10 years I have experimented with canning meats and that is a great "fast food" when needing to feed your family in a hurry. Thanks for sharing Rachael! Your are awesome and very patient!
Other good items to have on hand is a jar lifter, headspace measuring tool. If you are messy like me, extra towels 😂. If you have an Amish community in your area they are a great resource for bulk items...i have found pectins, clear jel, salt, citric acid etc. I would also suggest a canning book. Thanks for another great video Rachel. Happy canning
I was quite surprised! 90% of everything you mentioned in this video I already have on hand! I am going to re-watch this at a later date and make a check list of all the things! Thank you Rachel for sharing!
Rachel, this was an awesome video. Thank you! I love your practical point of view. I started canning 5 months ago, and you were such great help. 💕 With each canning session I feel a bit more confident.
Kitchen aid food processor is on my wish list, as well as the Nesco rooster! First I need to replace my water bath canner, you are right it does rust! Thanks for the great refresher!
Thank you for sharing this video. I'm 71 and on my food preservation journey. I've canned jellies and salsas in the past but I want to learn to do more.
This video was very refreshing. It’s interesting to see what others have and use for their canning adventures. Thank you for another great video Rachel! 🤗
I went used roaster oven shopping yesterday per your advise and because I couldn’t believe all the pan shuffling I was trying to do this week while canning. I went to 2 Good Wills and actually found one, BUT it was probably from the 50’s/60’s with the woven black/white cord. So I had to leave it behind. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. All my best
Rachel, I've been binging your channel each weekend, soaking up a ton of information. Much appreciation for you and Todd. I scored a new in the box Victorio steam juicer at an auction for a fraction of store price. Resale shops, garage sales, auction sales are great sources for preservation equipment.
Thanks for a basics video, I am really enjoying your channel! I took a canning class (spicy dilly carrots) on the Making app. just for something different to try. Now I am hooked! My carrots looked & taste great! I was so intimidated at the thought of canning, but now I know now that I can do it. I’ve planted tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, tomatillos from seed for the first time (with canning in mind) & they are doing great! I’ll fill in with nursery plants. It’s time now to plant them in our community garden bed space, and some grow bags at home. I live on the OR coast & want to try canning fresh fish too. So, pressure canning is my next challenge to learn! I can’t wait to have my own home-grown (or Farmer’s market) food available in my pantry.
I am new to canning. Just using produce from the kroger for now, while I wait for "canning season". This was so helpful! I don't want my first real garden to go to waste. Thank you for all of your tips and content ❤️
Good review for all of us seasoned canners as well . Reminded me of some things I need to pick up now. I’ve got seed starting on my mind so I’ve been distracted with those .
Awesome video! I wish I would have had this video when I first started (about a year ago). I still have a lot to learn and I got some really good information from this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I always look forward to your videos. Have a blessed day! 💜
I've been buying my stash a little bit here and a little bit there. We are in the process of moving to our forever homestead, so I can't wait to start canning.
Thanks, Rachel .. you reminded me if several items (pickle crisp, pickling spice and extra vinegar) to add to my shopping list so I'll be ready for the season.
I'm really enjoying your educational canning videos!! I'll let you know when I finally get started canning. I have a good supply of items to get started but of course after watching your video I find that I need MORE!!! Thank you for taking the time to make all your videos!!!
A lot of helpful information. Thank you. At 73 yo, I bought my very first pressure canner last week. I think I'm finally over my fears of pressure canning. HalleluYah!

"[Canning] jar stash" is the most wholesome thing I have ever heard.

You can do it! Trust yourself…trust the process. 😊
You can do it! I was nervous too and then one day I said Heck just do it! I even splurged and bought the Ball electric water bath canner and I haven’t looked back! I just know you’ll do great and have a “Ball” 😉!

MIchigan Marcia here, so glad more folks are learning the craft. Your videos are so inspiri ng. Thank you.
Have been canning for many years...but never stop learning!! And we love to see what ideas others have!! Thanks to everyone for sharing!!

I love how organized you keep your canning supplies, Rachel. You shared so much great information, it is going to be very helpful for new canners.
I have been extremely fortunate to have been given 2 All American Canners , my 921 is my work horse . Last year I purchased a Steam Canner and after the first time I was in love.
I've been struggling with how to store my rings, but I love how you have yours up! Thanks for showing your equipment and talking through it all.
I am a new canner and love how much I have been able to learn. I was so overwhelmed with all the info out there but with everything going on, and the lessons lived and learned after hurricane Maria and the recent pandemic, I want to make sure my family has the necessary nourishment when the need arises. Thank you for sharing with us and breaking it down to “easy understanding”.
Remember canning when I was younger with my mother those are the memory that warm my heart
I am LOVING what you do... both in your life and on your homestead. I farm/ranch/homestead out in northeastern Colorado on the prairie. I love listening to you and you perspective. You truly have a talent for teaching... the truth and sensibility and reassurance you offer is such a fine gift.
Your content is absolutely wonderful, but I’m here for your voice 😃 it’s the peace we all need right now 🙏🏻💙

Such a great educator with each video.
It’s good to be reminded of different products available for canning
Man do I agree with you about the roaster and food processor! If your budget allows these 2 items are huge time savers.
Thank you for your video, we so love watching the 1870's Homestead channel.
Thanks for the great overview! Canning jars are hard to find, but I found 6 quart jars at a thrift store the other day! Excited to get more food on the shelves!
One thing that most experienced canners front mention is tea towels dish cloths and drying mats are essential party's of canninh
Clear-jel is what you were trying to think of for pie fillings! Great tips for newbies. Also, I use any salt that is pure, no additives (Such as iodine) to can.
I was going to ask what the difference is between that canning salt in the little green bags vs kosher salt!
Thank you so much for joining in the collaboration. Love following your channel ❤️
Lovely as always. The thing with jars is, if you happen to really like canning--you're going to need a lot of jars, I'm learning!

Love the rings at the bottom of the pot tip! Thanks! I'm so ready to plant my small garden! I live in Texas so it's right around the corner
I also reuse food jars. My Amish friends reuse everything and their grocery stores sell new white lids for all jar sizes. I love the for-jar lids as well.

Thanks for sharing all your tips. New to canning but sooo addicted
new pressure canner from the uk thankyou so much for the back to basic series x
Great run through on what's needed to begin!

Good reminder of supplies that we should be getting now.
Newbie! I have done cold water bath canning, but never pressure canning. Excited to start!!!
I am so inspired by you! I am living in a town house so I have to purchase my produce from local farmers markets and stores when things are on sale. Support your local farmers!
I learn something new every time I watch you!!
Thank you so much for being here and sharing your knowledge! You are a beautiful lady. Love your natural hair color!!
Oh my thanks for the reminder about the salt and crisp, getting on that now. I am so grateful all of you are making these videos for those of us who are not experts. I am learning so much.
This video motivates me to go downstairs and organize for canning storage spaces. Thanks, Rachel. Love your vlog.
I'm loving all your info on canning!! Thanks for refreshing my memory from 40 years ago when I canned. Next I'm doing grape jelly and peach jam! My husband says I have jar radar because I spot jars at goodwill and in stores and grab them lol! Have a great night!
Sure wish I had seen a video like this a couple years ago. Would've saved me a lot of money. Thanks for sharing. Love your videos.
I never use my roaster for anything other than my Turkey at thanksgiving. Watching you can with your opened up a whole other world of possibilities to get more use out of it! I even like how you recently shared why you add water under the insert.
Your basic videos are very informative. It is nice to get a refresher.
I so appreciate your videos. You are my canning mentor from afar. I look forward to each video you post.
Although I a have been canning for years, I still enjoyed your video. I like to watch all your videos, thank you ❤️
Your antique canner that you keep for looks is what I use for my canner. It belonged to my grandmother-in-law which my mother-in-law inherited, then I inherited it. It’s been doing a great job, and all the original parts are still on it. And yes it has been checked out by the local canner Expert.

Great information I have been building the canning supply since I'm addicted great to confirm I will need things buying
Great information! It is amazing how as we progress as canners, our equipment advances to the next step. Using a roaster oven would never have been on my radar in the beginning. My first purchase was a large pot to hold all the goodness, then a Mirror canner that held 7 quarts or 8 pints. I would can 60 quarts of green beans so it took a long time.

I am so glad I found you here on UA-cam!! 🙏
Rachel, this was an awesome video. Thank you! I love your practical point of view. I started canning 5 months ago, and you were such great help. 💕 With each canning session I feel a bit more confident.
Kitchen aid food processor is on my wish list, as well as the Nesco rooster! First I need to replace my water bath canner, you are right it does rust! Thanks for the great refresher!
Rachael, you always have great information on your videos. I greatly appreciate your knowledge and your willingness for you and Todd to share!
Thank you for sharing this video. I'm 71 and on my food preservation journey. I've canned jellies and salsas in the past but I want to learn to do more.
This video was very refreshing. It’s interesting to see what others have and use for their canning adventures. Thank you for another great video Rachel! 🤗
I went used roaster oven shopping yesterday per your advise and because I couldn’t believe all the pan shuffling I was trying to do this week while canning. I went to 2 Good Wills and actually found one, BUT it was probably from the 50’s/60’s with the woven black/white cord. So I had to leave it behind. Thanks for sharing your knowledge. All my best
Canning basics can never be too overrated.
ANOTHER VERY INFORMATIVE VIDEO RACHEL, THANK YOU FOR BEING IN THE COLLAB.
I bought a roaster after watching you use it so much for canning. And I love it!!!!
Excited to start pressure canning. Just got my All American. Glad to know that roaster I rarely use will come in handy.
Rachel, I've been binging your channel each weekend, soaking up a ton of information. Much appreciation for you and Todd. I scored a new in the box Victorio steam juicer at an auction for a fraction of store price. Resale shops, garage sales, auction sales are great sources for preservation equipment.
I absolutely love your old vintage antique canner and enjoy collecting vintage antique kitchen items. Loved your back to basics video!
Thanks for a basics video, I am really enjoying your channel! I took a canning class (spicy dilly carrots) on the Making app. just for something different to try. Now I am hooked! My carrots looked & taste great! I was so intimidated at the thought of canning, but now I know now that I can do it. I’ve planted tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, tomatillos from seed for the first time (with canning in mind) & they are doing great! I’ll fill in with nursery plants. It’s time now to plant them in our community garden bed space, and some grow bags at home. I live on the OR coast & want to try canning fresh fish too. So, pressure canning is my next challenge to learn! I can’t wait to have my own home-grown (or Farmer’s market) food available in my pantry.
So helpful Rachel. Now I have a little list of missing items to shop for. Thank you.
Canning is my favorite way to preserve. All the jars on the shelfs is the most beautiful sight in my opinion. Thank you for another great vlog!
Love these Canning 101 videos! Thank you!
I am new to canning. Just using produce from the kroger for now, while I wait for "canning season".
This was so helpful! I don't want my first real garden to go to waste. Thank you for all of your tips and content ❤️
Boy your stash is so good. I have a lot of stuff to get stocked up on. Work in progress. Thanks for giving items that I need to get when I find them.
Thank you for your explanations on everything. I’ve been canning for many many years, but still heard some things I hadn’t thought about!
Good review for all of us seasoned canners as well . Reminded me of some things I need to pick up now. I’ve got seed starting on my mind so I’ve been distracted with those .
Awesome video! I wish I would have had this video when I first started (about a year ago). I still have a lot to learn and I got some really good information from this video. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I always look forward to your videos. Have a blessed day! 💜
Love your honesty. Great info as always.
I’ve never seen such a large jar in my life. I need jars but I need a canner lol. I live watching your Channel I learn so much. ❤️
This video will be a blessing to all the young folks who are starting to work on food prepping thanks for sharing.
I recently bought a steam canner and I love it. So much easier. Great video - I never miss one of your vids.
I have had a goal for a couple years to learn how to can, & its so intimidating. But this year, I WILL learn how- or at least TRY! TY for this video!
It's great to see so many new canners!!!
Great reminder of the basic supplies.
I've been buying my stash a little bit here and a little bit there. We are in the process of moving to our forever homestead, so I can't wait to start canning.
Thanks for reminding me to get some more crisper for pickled supplies, and Thanks for sharing
Thanks, Rachel .. you reminded me if several items (pickle crisp, pickling spice and extra vinegar) to add to my shopping list so I'll be ready for the season.
I just got my first canner today and I’m so ready to learn how to use it. Thanks for this video. Very helpful.
I'm really enjoying your educational canning videos!! I'll let you know when I finally get started canning. I have a good supply of items to get started but of course after watching your video I find that I need MORE!!! Thank you for taking the time to make all your videos!!!
