Pork and Beans
www.sbcanning....
Today I finished canning all the beans we started yesterday and making a batch of delicious pork and beans. I really like the way they turned out. We also got a little work on the cabin, a mini-harvest in the garden and shared some thoughts about needing to be intentional about having fun and slowing down. I hope you enjoy it.
Thanks for watching!

When you laid down I actually teared up...We all seem to forget to take a moment and just take in life! Thank you for sharing your beautiful life!!
The two can not be separated. ~Living life and doing for your family~ is what makes ~taking time out~ for life much better~!~
Farmers work is never done. My husband and i spend half hour after lunch and just sit and relax, i have a hammock that I spent my time in. My favorite time is walking the dog at 5am in the morning and just listen to all the birds singing. Have a great weekend
Haven’t seen smoke like that since my college dorm room back in ‘72😊!
We need to remember,,,,, EVERYONE DID THIS a century ago or less~!~!~!~
I have a chair I keep in my garden so I can just sit and relax with my plants. It is a great way to destress.
Wow… I didn’t think you had a slow button🤣so nice to see you just..stop.. and take a breath.. and enjoy the moment.. 💜your childhood story of making a bed out of the insulation ..oh my goodness how horrible!! So glad Honey is better👏👏💜💜💜

Wait until the end of your chores and cooking when Dans home with the kids then go enjoy the garden!! Just for ten minutes at least!!
I fight the chick weed also....the chickens love it!
While you were lying in the garden I remembered once years ago when I lived in Phoenix AZ I’d planted a few rows of pinto beans. And just as the sun was hitting the soil they started to pop out of the ground. And I do mean pop! I lay down in the dirt and watched those beans pop up and each time it made me laugh.😂
I find when I have too many thoughts running through my head to be able to relax, that writing them down is very helpful. It's not really the pressure to get things done that causes me to be unable to relax, but the pressure to remember things. So thoughts are just going in a circuit in my head, but if I write them down, then I know I don't have to remember them anymore. But I don't treat it like a to-do list, it's just a list that's there if and when I need it, not a list of things that need me.
I agree about taking time for family. You need to enjoy the children while you can. Those are the future memories you will have. It’s not the number of jars or pounds of produce processed. The family will want to return home after the are Adults because you made a special effort for them. My family told us this, and appreciate the hard work on our farm but the experiences are good memories. ♥️
Just absorbing your surroundings with a still mind is so important. To lay there and just breathe is amazing. During winter you will all be so grateful. The memories you are building will be what gets you through. ❤
If I laid down to rest I would be asleep in a matter of just a few minutes.
Harvest Strawflower just before they open. They continue to open as they dry. If you leave them too long, they blow open 🎉
You are such a wonderful teacher!! Really
Thank you so much.😊
I also remember playing in pink insulation when I was little, you really never forget that level of itchiness, do you, lol.
As farmers we too believe that you need to take time for self care. Tons of jobs everywhere! We picnic at a quiet beach ten minutes from our farm, maybe swim, maybe not. Then back at it!
So enjoy your videos and your sweet nature.☺️
My French Canadian grandmother used to can crabapples. Delicious!
When we lived in Saskatchewan we had a huge crabapple and it made the best and clearest canned apple juice using cream of tartar overnight on the apples. The resulting liquid was clear amber.
Mom canned them in Alberta. Delish👌👌
Hope you and your family and your home is safe… hope things are gettin better over here… prayers from Ont. 🙏🏻
Wishing you clear skies
Chickweed is so good for lungs! It's a great medicinal plant in tea.
I admire your determination in poking holes in all those blueberries. Your family is so lucky that you love providing so well for them!
We need to remember,,,,, EVERYONE DID THIS a century ago or less~!~!~!~
Thank you for sharing. You really are an inspiration! 😊
I realize that you probably won’t see this comment as the video is nearly a year old. I just wanted to say that my grandmother had a summer kitchen in a little outbuilding that was surrounded by windows for ventilation. In the summer months she would do all of her baking and canning in that kitchen to keep the heat out of the house. With as many outbuilding as you have and as much canning and baking you do might it not be worthwhile to consider such a facility for LMR? It could double as a little potting shed as well. Just a thought. Also, most commercial pork and beans have a pinch of ground cloves in the sauce in which they are canned, not chili powder. The cloves are just that little something, something that you taste in the background. Just another thought.
Great video and those fires are causing problems for sure prayers and have a great day
I don't know how you do so much. You need to get more help with insulation and canning. You are amazing💗
I thought you had gotten a second fridge! You certainly could use one!
Glad to see some curly parsley around. These days it's all flat leave. I prefer curly tho.
I know what you mean about turning your mind off...when I try to lie down and just rest, even for a few minutes, my mind suddenly spins and reminds me of all the things I need to or should be doing, so then I just get up. It's sad....
I absolutely love your smiling face. It brings me such peace.
I did enjoy your video, but I always do so see you next time.
Can’t wait till your air bnb is ready I’ll come stay on your farm for sure :) so beautiful :)
That was, as usual, a great video. I got my 7 quarts of beautiful garbanzo beans canned today. Now I really want to get some pork and beans going. We ate pork and bean sandwiches (on my mom’s homemade white bread) when we were kids. I loved them so much. I haven’t thought about them for a very long time. (Also I’m remembering her leaf lettuce and miracle whip sandwiches. ❤️) Thank you for sharing - laying down in the grass and communing with nature sounds like the right thing to do. I was there with you in spirit. 🐝
We use a toothpick to prick ours. And I have one of my kids do it while I’m washing and prepping the next batch
Thank you for sharing !
👏😀❤️
We even had smoke from the fires in Southern Indiana a week or so ago.
If you do a rough chop in a food processor or blender with the blueberries will save so much time. They aren't pretty but if you use them in smoothies or cooking it doesn't matter, even if they are in a fruit salad it won't be too ugly.😁
Oh no! Chef Jean Pierre, (on UA-cam), always says: "Onyo always number first - Unless there is bacon. Then Bacon number first." LOL.
Thanks Chelsea!
It must be 'in the air' . I have heard from many people that they are 'taking a break- regroup-just let it all go!' and I agree!! BEAUTIFUL and thank you for sharing~~
I love watching your videos, I feel like I am right there with you. Glad you are taking the extra time each day to go to the lake. When our kids were small we went camomile each summer for a month. We didn’t stay at the same place but we sure had a great time. I hope our kids will always remember it. Thank you for sharing so much info with us……you are a light in my day.
I think everyone must have a similar insulation story from their childhood 😂. When I was a kid I played/rolled around in a derelict fibreglass boat for a day until my whole body was on fire. My little sister discovered some old insulation the cats were sleeping on and climbed in to cuddle with them. We found her in the act and rushed her into the bathtub but it was too late; crying and scratching for days! A great childhood tradition.
You are a totally awesome lady bless you and your family
Have you ever eaten blueberry dumplings? "Delicious way to can blueberries'" I have wonderful childhood memories of my Mère making this every blueberry season. I'm sure your children would love it!
We don’t have a farm but I still have so much that needs to be done. I have my shop connected to my house and I make skin care products and something always needs to be made. I have gardens on all four sides of the house. We planted 20 fruit trees/plants that require a lot of water the first year here in south Texas. It is hard to relax.
Hi .from uk .
Just loved this vidio .
Ur so real .down to earth .
Yes it id hard to relax but we all need to do it at least try .
Im retirrd noe so dont work ad such
I sau domt
I thimk evety home makrt works none stop .
Allways somthing tp do .
In a home .
I allways try take one day a weekenf off to do what i want ot just rest
Fabulous video!! I love working hard to raise and preserve my own foods, and yet I am trying to spend intentional uninterrupted time with my loving husband amidst all of the business.
Have a wonderful weekend..we appreciate you Chelsey.❤😊
Same to you!
as a nurse we use a retractable cord to put keys on... that would be an excellent use for your scissors the they would be connected to the cord and you!
I was just going to start baked beans. Thanks for the video. I think I’m also going to do some kidney beans.
I will have to try this next, I just finished making Boston baked beans, yum!
How about dehydrating some of them for trail mix? And pie filling would be good! And some in a light simple syrup for yogurt!!! Just some different ideas!
My eyes were tearing up in sympathy for you with all of that smoke! We get alot of wildfires here in California and it really bothers my eyes. Thanks for another wonderful video!❤
I use a small needle-type meat tenderizer to make quicker work of poking holes in blueberries.
And yes, the extra set of trays well worth it.
Good morning my friend! It's great to see your video. Wishing you a very happy new year.
You can put a game camera out to find out whats going on with your ladder, I have 5 set up on my mountain hunting property.
Here in NE BC the smoke is horrendous. Often ash covers our vehicles. But we’re greatful we’re not in a situation where we’d have to evacuate like so many around us.
I remember being your age and all the canning and freezing. I loved to do it. Now I just love watching you. 😊
Homesteading Family covered freeze drying blueberries a few weeks ago. If you have heaps to do, do you can blanch them for 30 seconds, and them put in an ice bath. It should weaken the skins enough for them to freeze dry properly :)
I sèen frozen blueberries run thru the food processor to knick each blueberry before freeze drying.
We are also experiencing smoky skies from the central/eastern Canadian fires! We can literally smell the fires down here. You have canned a ton in the past few days! The pantry’s gonna look so pleasant and satisfying. Take care, Doc❤
Perhaps you could see about getting one of those facial rollers that has spikes in it to do dermal rolling and just roll it across the blueberries to poke little holes? And speed up production?
Love the flick of the foot, closing your dishwasher! A new wire dog brush works great for poking holes in berries. I layer in two layers, put a piece of parchment over top of bottom layer and put another layer on top. Lisa would be helpful too, you can FD in the lids!! Dual purpose 😊
Once the strawflowers are fully open, save them! I still have some from 2004 that are dried. Same with dwarf sunflowers. I have a bouquet from my Dads memorial.
Straw flowers continue to open as they dry. I like buds just before they open and then all the stages afterwards. It adds something to the look.
Well, I want to see the fun too. I wanted to see the lake and y’all swimming having a hallelujah good time.
I keep the camera at home for most of our family times, otherwise I get distracted trying to make videos and miss out on the fun.😊
Wonderful progress, yummy canning/preserving & family activities! Thanks for sharing! Blessings to all & I pray the fires cease. We are getting the smoke here in Alberta, too, & some say it’s from BC. Our fires have been contained now.
I was just thinking yesterday if there was a good recipe for home-canned pork and beans! Thank you 😊
We are big fan's of yours from Srilanka way down under from you please can you do a video on home made Bacon if it's possible as you make cooking very simple we would like to try it as the Bacon in supermarkets are very very expensive over here. love to every body from all of us. ❤❤❤❤❤👍
You've inspired me again--I'm soaking beans for pork and beans now. My black beans and pintos are done but I can't do as many in a day as you do. You're the best.
A pie filling would be good to make.
So I can expect my pork and beans in the mail soon hahaha 😅❤🇨🇦
You are doing great, you can’t say your not doing the right thing so all you can do is trust in God. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💓💚🥰🤗
This video is making me think gassy…. What was for lunch? I am sad for you guys with the fires. Excellent job on all the canning. Fabulous. Thanks for the beans on toast with melted cheese.. sounds so good. I buy blueberries in bulk. I freeze them in ziplock after they dry. Easy. You need a beach towel for your rest. Love the lake trip. Where is the lake? Thanks for sharing,
We live in Central Washington State in the US. We had your smoke plus our own in 2017, too. We had it for at least a month, no break. Air quality was horrible. I feel for you!
Great video. The pork and beans looked so good I went to my cabinet at 9:00 pm and fixed me some!!
As a kid growing up i was living with my mom n sister on my grandparents farm, due to my parents splitting up. My granny always told us to stop n smell the rose's. I think she was on to a good thing, she was a very busy lady, everything was homemade from scratch, pantry full off jams n jellies,pickles,chuckneys, green beans packed in salt, herbs hanging all around the farm house. So as an adult now living in Gold River Vancouver Island, I started preserving beets, Branson pickle, jams n jellies just like her. I'm now retired n finding it very hard to live a healthy lifestyle, so I started growing a lot off our veggies , not in a big way like you do, but I love how you make thing's very easy to understand. I don't have a pressure canner yet to scared off them 😂😂. I water bath only so far. Maybe one day I will concor my fears😂😂thanks for your inspiration Mary B Gold River 🇨🇦🇬🇧
Thank you so much, Mary.💕
Give it a go Mary, it’s not as scary as it seems at first, you can do it! ( pun intended 😂)
I harvested my strawflowers when they were completely open or whatever stage i wanted to make a varied bouquet. I tied a few together, hung them upside down til dried and then made up my bouquets. They are so pretty and feel so odd compared to other flowers.
If you like blue berry pie or cobbler you should can some pie filling. It's easy and tastes amazing. We have been having a lot of smoke in are air. From Canada fire's it been really bad here in Ohio. Pray you are safe and they don't get to close to you! God Bless
Oh oh oh...I sooo wanted to interrupt you and tell you Dan was following you while you were walking down to the garden. He was probably trying to get your attention.😃
You could do blueberry pie filling.
Oh I felt it when you laid down. We really do need to take a few minutes every day to just breathe. And also yes to just do fun stuff to. hugs
Looks yummy! You could make your own brown sugar from some of that big jug of molasses
When you freeze blueberries the berry expands and cracks the skins. You probably wouldn't need to poke holes in them.
Many Thanks !
Wow Chelsea, you are sooo busy! I am glad you are taking time to enjoy your beautiful family! I got to do more of that too! God bless 🙏❤️🤗
This was lovely, thank you! Love from me and mine to you and yours. ❤ Enjoy that garden time
Can't wait to can the pork and beans!! I really need to get back to canning I haven't done anything in weeks !! Such an inspiration great job
Love your videos!
Take cheap sponges and fill with water and freeze…giant ice blocks and then put in your coolers to keep produce from getting too warm……saves on buying ice cubes and losing your garden haul.
Agree with the extra set of trays… I have the large freeze dryer and have the extra set of trays and a set of the stackable lids… it works great it’s saves so much time ❤❤❤❤
When you laid down and closed your eyes, you could see your body relax
Hang in there love. You’re doing great.
I’m in PA & we’re about to have our 3rd round of the extremely toxic smoke blanketing us. I’ve lived in the PA mountains all my life & haven’t seen smoke like this, even with local fires. It’s not regular wood fire smoke. It’s extremely heavy. The satellite footage of Quebec’s fires all breaking out at the same time on a clear day was horrifying! This is a travesty all around
I am so happy today to receive my LMR tshirt in the mail! We are working indoors as it is 95F here today in Quincy, IL
YAY!
We have a meal similar to this called cowboy pork and beans. We love it and serve it with either pasta or crusty bread. I've made it with belly pork, pork steaks and chops, different types of sausage and even works well with chicken. It has a lovely Smokey BBQ type sauce. We use black treacle in the UK and mustard powder.
You are the queen! I limit myself to canning 1 thing/week. We do eat our beans, but I've never done pork & beans before. Sounds great.
Freeze dried blueberries are delicious! -just to chomp on.
Hi Chelsea I bought the plastic lids from harvest right and it helps me stack trays in the freezer when I pre freeze. Then I can put more on them and use them as trays for the next batch!
We are experiencing The Canadian smoke her in Minnesota too
When I work in the floral shop we had straw flowers in the garden out side and when they were in full bloom we would cut them leaving around one inch of stem and take them into the shop and use floral wire and push it into the stem and dry them. By putting the wire up the stem when green when they were dried the stem would shrink around the wire and would become one with the flower. The ones we didn't get to before they dried we would use hot glue on the stem area before inserting the wire.
I have 2 sets of trays and when I have more to freeze dry than I have trays I use my half sheet cookie trays to lay out my product and freeze them overnight then transfer to bags and refill my tray again and when my freeze dryer trays come available I dump my bags on to the trays. Rinse and repeat as many times as needed. I have done this with celery, cucumbers, tomatoes and peppers.
Thank you so much! Super helpful
You know you've grown wiser when you choose to lay in chickweed instead of pink insulation! Congrats. LOL
🤣 your comment made me laugh out loud. Love it!
