You are such an amazing lady. It is a pleasure to see hard working people. The canned food looks so delicious. Thank you for sharing a day in the kitchen.
Absolutely LOVE the normality of your video!!!!! Yeahhhh to a kitchen like that!!! You were right, there are a lot of canning video's out there, but all of them make me feel like a slub. Your make me feel like super woman, just as you are!!! Thanks for that
I used to stress about my kitchen needing to be super clean before I filmed, but I decided to stop worrying about it so much so it makes me really happy to know that it doesn't matter and is actually appreciated. Thank you!
Agreed! My kitchen looks like a war zone before a single jar has food in it. 😂. Some videos out there show immaculate kitchens and all the equipment and prepped food organized and pristine. Nope, that isn’t my reality, mine is just like most others out there-several things going on, all in different stages, utensils just everywhere but none where they actually need to be, I don’t even want to divulge what’s happening with dish towels and paper towels, and me frantically searching for a spoon and more often than is likely normal, a bandaid for the burn or cut I just unintentionally inflicted upon myself! 😂.
Love seeing how other people can saurkraut. We can it the way our family did in Germany, they brought the recipe with them to Minnesota (along with a variety of homemade sausages). We make ours in large batches (multiple family members get together in the fall to do it together). We then ferment in 5 gallon buckets for 6-8 weeks then we can it. Just Cabbage and salt. Best saurkraut I've ever had.
Canned sweet corn can have almost a rubbery texture to it. We always blanch the corn (on the cob), cool it down to handling temperature and then cut it off the cob and freeze it. Texture stays the same and it tastes like you are eating it fresh right off the cob! Just a tip!
Hi and thanks for your very interesting video. I'm 55 years old and from Germany, and I make my Sauerkraut the way my grandma taught me. It's the same way you do, but the original fermentation recipe for Sauerkraut requires salt, juniper berries, bay leaves and caraway seeds (I hate those so I don't use them). No garlic or carrots, but I love garlic and will give it a try next year. Thanks for the inspiration and for all the videos you are doing. 🙂
You are such an inspiration to me Chelsea. I admire you very much and when you say that you still have to find your recipe to see for how long your jars have to stay in the water I understand you sooo much. When I think of all the projects you have going on all the time you cannot remember everything. Thank you so much for telling us how to make your Cole slaw, sauerkraut and corn. I do hope that you had a good nights sleep.😊
How to know you are at a canners house: you can smell vinegar from the driveway, there are no less than three empty spice bottles strewn across the kitchen, the smallest mixing bowl you can find has a six quart capacity-the largest could be used as a bathtub if it didn’t have sauerkraut in it, there are four types of salt all of which are bought in pounds, not ounces, the “kitchen” sugar is in a five gallon bucket (the other 50 pounds are in storage awaiting the day they go into the kitchen bucket), you’ve spotted gallon containers of white vinegar in every room you’ve been in, and there’s not one, not two, but three large kitchen drawers dedicated to dish towels, dish rags, hot pads and mitts, and trivets. I meet all of these criteria. 😂😂😂
I am 87 years old and have been canning for at least 40 yeaesm All I had is Ball's Blue book. We lived in a city, but went out to the farms for bushels of produce, At this poiny, I live in a xenior apatement an am still canning, only I am using 8 and 23 oz jars...
Your so right, so many great videos for preserving of anykind! Really appreciate you and all others who make time to share . I hear you Chelsea, one of the reasons I love winter.
Omgoodness Chelsea….you rocked that. So happy you got corn to can. Wow such a treat for us northern folk. I make the pickled coleslaw too, first seen it on Rachel’s channel….now a lot of the gals here in town also make it. We love it. Great video. 💕🇨🇦
My mother had 2 sisters & 3 brothers. My Pap always had a big garden(had the grandkids planting soon as we were able!) & my Gram had us pick bc she canned. Oddly, my mom hates to cook! So, she let me start cooking when I was small. I was making big meals for the family in Jr high bc she worked evenings & was baking fancy cakes by HS. It was my Pap who taught me to garden & can in my early 20s. Just turned 54. You’re so right, only my aunt & I canned in the family(now just me), none of my peers. I’ve been using the PSU extension manual since the early 90s. Just got a pressure canner this year, used to be afraid of them. I still haven’t fermented, though I love sauerkraut. I just can’t get my mind around it & am afraid I’ll go to all the work then be afraid to eat it like it’s spoiled. Would Kombucha be a simple ferment test to start with?
Everything looked wonderful! Fermented and pickled cabbage is definitely one of my favourites. This has inspired me to get some more going as I've not done any in a while. I'm looking forward to the slow down of winter too, my garden has been utterly neglected toward late summer and harvests have been left piled up in the kitchen or thrown in the freezer for later due to work commitments (summer is the busiest time for our business but we took on a second one this year and I don't know why I thought I'd have time to do all the canning and garden projects!!). Appreciate the realness of your vlogs, we all know the kitchen disaster zone and wanting to grab pizza feeling :)
I’ve decided I’m just not doing the fall clean up on the garden this year. I’m pretty sure my future self with regret it but my todays self if quite happy with the decision.😉
Oh my gosh you made me smile so hard in the ending. I loved this so much. I actually did some jars of fermented carrots tonight, yesterday purple cauliflower and tomorrow going to Can some over ripe cucumber relish and trust me my counter and sink looks exactly the same always but honestly I think it makes all that hard work done feel more satisfying because the hard work shows from the chaos. Totally love watching you do all this. hugs and glad you got a pizza dinner as well. :)
I grew up on a subsistence farm so we had lots of sauerkraut each winter but he best sauerkraut I ever had was on Reuben sandwiches I would pick up at this little hole in the wall cafe as an adult. The owner was a first generation German immigrant who made the sauerkraut she used at the cafe and was based on family recipe. While many times sauerkraut has a very sharp taste hers still had that very distinct taste but hers had only what I could describe as a smoothness to that. It turned out she added a few chopped apples to her sauerkraut. I haven't had enough of a garden to plan for sauerkraut but preparing to move to my retirement farm and plan on experimenting with a couple small batches each year to try and find the perfect sauerkraut.
Hi Chelsea I've only been watch your videos for a few days and i'm loving them. I usually watch while i'm cooking myself and/or need to do the washing up. I love your t-shirt btw.😄 Greetings from Switzerland.
I'm always thrilled watching you work.You are just such a smart gal...of course I am bias...my sweet friend across te country...we survived last nights hurricane with lil damage to our end of Nova Scotia. xx
Hello, do you think you could use apple cider vinegar in the coleslaw? If so, how much do you think would be alright to use and still can it.? If anyone has any helpful suggestions and tips for it, that would be ever so nice to know. Thank you very much. 🎉 ❤ 😊😊😊
I love your authenticity! Wouldn't it be nice if community canning was a thing? Is it a thing? Where people get together to help each other put up their food (Prep, process, clean up then move to the next house?). I got a fermenting kit for Christmas last year and it turns out that my gut cannot handle any fermented food. Not even in tiny quantities. I love everything about ferments - my digestive system says otherwise. My fermented carrots were scrumptious though. waaah!
I know there has been a few groups like that in our area over the years. Once my kids are a bit older and not home as much I’d love to offer something like that! It’s such a good idea.
Will you be making a video on planting garlic? My daughter is a brand new gardener and could use the advice. When they bought 8 acres here in Alberta zone 3b/4, they didn't realize it came with a large fully PLANTED garden. She's getting a crash course on harvesting and preserving. When they bought the property it was in June, it was raining every time they saw it, and all the garden plants were still very small. But moving day in mid August was a big surprise. Her property has a greenhouse, cold room in the basement, and chickencoop. When they first decided to sell their house in town and move to an acreage, it was just for more space, now they are homesteaders and talking about getting animals.
New to your channel. I am in Ontario. I can relate to how exhausted you must be harvesting and preserving everything from the garden. I have a much smaller garden and have canned more this year than I ever have in my life. I am usually preserving one thing or another every single day right now and it's exhausting. Seeing all those jars, I did myself, on the shelves though...makes my heart go pitter patter with pride :) I continue to be inspired by channels like this and learn more every day. Your coleslaw looks delicious. I may have to try that balsamic touch and celery seed!
I love your channel. I moved south to Florida so I can now get things I have never been able to get to can. I am not able to grow it all myself anymore because of health issues (reason for leaving Alaska). Getting old sucks, I want to do stuff that my brain says I can still do…till I try and my body says nope not today dear. I could not grow corn where I was and now it’s all around me. What do you use to remove the corn from the cob? I’m trying the cabbage recipes in this video today as I was gifted 60 lbs of cabbage.
Chelsey, do you think I can cut back on the sugar? We don’t care for sweet coleslaw but I don’t know if the canning process is affected if you cut back on the sugar. I think as long as the vinegar is kept the same I will be ok.
I have a recipe like the slaw but you freeze it. My mom made it. To thaw it out I place in microwave for 30 seconds the place in bowl to serve it is still cold.
This looks very awesome. Homemade sauerkraut is very good, as is homemade coleslaw. I remember my dad making homemade sauerkraut from the cabbages he grew on his farm in Alberta. Cheers! ✌️🇨🇦
It's not salt water - It's water that comes from the cabbage after adding salt. 1.5% salt will provide a lot of water, which you will need to cover the cabbage level. I often make with just salt (i.e. without other flavours) and it does really taste just great. The taste changes the longer you ferment. Good luck 👍
Hey your coleslaw was green or white but in the jars its purple what did i miss in the video? I rewatched it.. dont know I want to try canning coleslaw just stumped!
@@LittleMountainRanch No I think you posted an unedited version of this video yesterday...it was longer..and it started while you were in the middle of a sentence...unless that was just my computer being weird?
Oh, yes, I did upload and then take it down - UA-cam had a glitch and edited out the beginning of the video somehow. Thank goodness that doesn't happen often. :)
www.amazon.com/dp/B0058SSUV0/?ref=idea_dp_ This isn’t the exact one I have (it’s not available right now) but it’s pretty much the same and the price is good.😊
You are such an amazing lady. It is a pleasure to see hard working people. The canned food looks so delicious. Thank you for sharing a day in the kitchen.
This was so helpful to see you do coleslaw at the same time as sauerkraut! Work smarter not harder. I also appreciate you use pinches and eyeballs.

I've used caraway seeds in sauerkraut...it adds a really great flavor
Enjoy watching your videos

3:16 : "Add three cloves of garlic. Eeehhmm ,,,,,,. jah!" 🤣
Those of us that were canning in the 90s are quiet homebodies
I didn't know about canned coleslaw, great idea! Thanks for pushing through your busy canning time to make a video for us
I found my 921 AA on market place - brand new for $50.00. They even threw in a dozen brand new quarts and pints! Score! Love AA!
Yes, I’m going to give this pickled slaw a try as soon as my cabbage comes in this fall! Thank you!! And you can never have to much garlic! Haha!

Same!!!😂
70 and have never seen a garlic clove that large....wow! Can't wait to harvest mine this year, my first time growing garlic.
I'm so glad to find another Canadian channel to follow. I can't wait to try this! Thanks for sharing.

Love your videos. You did look tired, but so appreciate all the info on canning and preserving! Thank you
So tired. Ended up getting sick right after that, which did make me have to stop and rest for a few days.
I made this last week and it is absolutely the best Cole slaw we have ever made
Beautiful video, inspiring as always! 😍👍
Good job ma’am

Welcome!
Love this video. Want to can sauerkraut and you’ve helped me. addicted to canning and being self sufficient
Great video, thanks from Finland.
We used to pack sauerkraut with salt in oak barrels and stored in😂 unheated workshop over the winter
Love it all!
Thanks for all you share.
I admire your family
with the everone pitching in

Do you ever have issues canning on your glass top? What kind of range do you have? Love your videos!!
Sauerkraut was shredded cabbage packed in oak barrels with salt and stored in unheated workshop
Can you can plain cabbage? And can you water bath it? I loved fryed cabbage
Vaseline works great on your All American Canner = it does not get sticky like vegetable oil on your lid.

I don’t remember the specific video but I likely used some purple cabbage in there.

Oh, yes, I did upload and then take it down - UA-cam had a glitch and edited out the beginning of the video somehow. Thank goodness that doesn't happen often. :)
Can you please share the link to your steam canner ? I don't see it in the description.
www.amazon.com/dp/B0058SSUV0/?ref=idea_dp_
This isn’t the exact one I have (it’s not available right now) but it’s pretty much the same and the price is good.😊
The coleslaw when you serve it do you still add anything? Mayonnaise? I did check your link. But did not see serving suggestions. Thank you!
Yes, just add mayo and anything else you like - it doesn't taste the same as fresh Cole slaw, but it is tasty!
@@LittleMountainRanch thank you! Never knew you could can this! :)
Where did you get those big bowls?
Walmart if I remember correctly.
I just wanted to remind anyone that has an American Pressure canner that you must put oil around the rim before canning. Just an fyi.
Thanks for the reminder!😊I had forgotten to mention that.
I've never seen sauerkraut made with grated coleslaw! What are the reasons for that? 😃
I just chopped all the cabbage up the same at the beginning but made the recipes separately.
You can use your pressure canner as a steam canner instead of buying one
You can but I usually have multiple canners going to owning both is beneficial for me.
@@LittleMountainRanch gotcha
