***** About Living Traditions Homestead *****
Living Traditions Homestead is all about living a simple and sustainable way of life. We believe the world has gotten too “busy” and that people are missing out on many of the true blessings this world has to offer. We started as a small urban homestead in Gilbert, AZ and after the city grew up around us, decided it was time leave corporate America and take a big leap of faith by moving our family to the Missouri Ozarks.
We put out 3 new videos every week! Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. We hope you will become part of our homestead family by subscribing to our channel and watching as we transition from city dwellers to full time homesteaders!

Your Pears look amazing. Sure will be some good eating over the Winter. Thank God for great neighbors who share their bounty. God Bless Y'all.
In 1978 I took a canning class from my local university's farmers extension program. When it came to wiping down the rim, just before putting the lid on, I was told to wash my hands and use my finger to clean the rim because and I quote "your hands are the cleanest thing in the kitchen". The instructor stressed how germ laden kitchen towels and sponges get. Her advice stayed with me over the years and to this day I don't use sponges.
Anyway you two have been canning for years without problems so your sanitation must be excellent. I've been watching for over a year and I don't even have a garden - that's how good your show is. Blessing to you and your loved ones.
I've been watching for 4 months and now I want some kind of garden next year. I'm thinking one raised bed 4 x 8 for at least some tomatoes and peppers in my back yard and maybe a smaller one for fresh herbs. This show is my happy place in the morning before work with my coffee.
Every kitchen I've ever worked in has had a five gallon bucket full of bleach water where we kept out rags....
I do this, if I feel a squeak it’s good. I don’t trust rags and sponges.
I think the fact that the jars get boiled for the length of time kills any bacteria on them. Main thing seems to be to prevent there being any food particles causing a seal failure.
If you take her method, that she uses.. you run your clean damp finger around the rim of the jar you should hear a squeak... it’s not a question about sterile, it’s to feel if there is any food or oil to stop the lid from sealing. Nothing worse then working your tail off and having the lids not seal because you didn’t check the tops.
They are a type of Kefir pear.......an old variety. The old timers call them “horse pears......because they are big enough to choke a horse” hahahahah
Could they be Asian pears?
Usually the Asian pears are round. We have the MSU Fruit experiment Station in our town and they have said they are a type of Kefir. They have some of the same pear trees.
@@appalachianmercantile No. Completely different.
Hope ya share some with your neighbors...😊
Don't they typically grow about 1 foot in height/year?
We picked apples once from a friends tree and couldn’t reach the ones at the top. I went home and made an apple picker on a long pole. Since then I have seen you can buy something similar. I Duck taped a gallon milk jug opposite the handle side to the pole. I cut out the handle area with enough room for the fruit to fall into the jug. At the top of the hole needs to be a forked slit to catch the stem of the fruit and pull down with the fruit falling into the jug. Worked great and was fun. No cost just used what I had. Love you guys.
Sounds amazing Judy
Judy Harbin hi that works for me to! Manon from Canada
DUCT tape.
The pears are glorious. Bless the neighbors that shared them. Thank you. 🌻🍂🍁
Hope they share the canned ones with the best older couple. 🤗😘
The same thing here. Our pear tree didn't really produce last year but this year our 35 foot pear tree is producing SO MANY we won't even be able to use them all! So,into the compost they go! Those you have there are like FOOTBALLS! WOW,they look great!
my mother always added a few cloves to her canned pears.. loved them
That sounds like a good deal.
Used to have pear trees and we had pickers to reach the high spots. If you fertilize the trees with mushroom manure or cow manure as far out as the branches go you’ll be propping the branches with so many pears. We did this for a neighbor that was elderly and no longer could tend to his orchard. We loved watching him take bushel baskets all over the neighborhood giving everyone apples and pears.
Thanks for showing the canning process for pears. They look AWESOME!!
Seeing you guys makes me wish I was half my age living on my own small farm😊
Paul, I've often thought the same thing. 🙂
Paul, I'm 64 and still dreaming of a small farm. It's never too late if you think community to help with really heavy stuff in exchange for homemade food or canning lessons or sewing, crochet, knitting, any hand craft hands on! I'm trading fresh artisan bread and soon branching to sourdough!
@@g.cosper8306 sounds like we of 60 and older should get together and get a commune going. Lots of abandoned decent farms or bank owned farms to be had. See Cheap homestead land on You Tube. I am up for selling my property on Whidbey Island Washington and getting this lifestyle going. Red state purchase only.
Same way we canned our pears back in the '50 '60s. I agree. That peeler works wonderfully. Carrots don't stand a chance to miss an inch.. A ring of pineapple, a halved pear, mayo, topped with a red cherry.. a good appetizer
Exactly what my mom served
Honey, I love your instruction. You're a natural teacher. I like the way you present information. You don't come off as a know-it-all, which makes me relax, and just be able to listen. Thanks. Please keep the knowledge coming.
Just no way to describe the enjoyment from your videos, and visiting with your family during each function of your lives.
Thanks for the video.... I learn something every time I watch.... Don’t forget to take a jar of pears to the neighbors for letting you pick from their tree...
What generous neighbors! Blessed is right.
As I was enjoying today's wonderful pear canning marathon, my husband brought in the mail. So excited to have received my Rabbit Cookbook! I know it will bring our family many years of enjoyment!
Awesome Beautiful pear 🍐 lovely 💯%amazing content 👍 👌 God bless you all.
I love love love canned pears, a little cottage cheese and canned pears for lunch, yum!!!
How wonderful that you have such kind neighbors. We love pears too and they will be a treat in the winter and all year long.
Your video brings back memories of my dad canning pears from my parent's yard. My dad passed away 22 years ago. We still pick pears from the tree. None of us four kids remembered his process for canning. Your video has inspired me to try it next season, since they have already ripened past the canning stage. We are in the deep south and ours ripen earlier than your location. Your yellow bowls look just like one my mother still has in her kitchen. She purchased it in the 1950s as a set with smaller bowls. Thank you for inspiring me to bring back a family tradition.
Beautiful jars full of goodness! God bless!
Sarah I have learned so much about canning from you..Thank You Have A TRULY BLESSED DAY
Add some red hots candies to a couple of jars for the Holidays.
I make apple butter with a few red hots tossed in - it's delicious!
Those were beautiful pears! Love how country neighbors share!
We had a very old pear tree on the farm where I grew up. My grandfather made a pear picker out of wire attached to an old wooden pole. Always lots of wasps by the pear tree - but there were enough pears for everyone to share! Mom always made pear marmalade. A storm took the tree down a few years ago. An arborist estimated the tree was over 150 years old. It had never been treated with pesticide or chemicals of any sort.
My parents used to wrap pears in newspaper to keep them from rotting before they could get them canned.
Sarah, I was born and raised in the UP of MI. My father was an entrepreneur, one of his businesses took him to Chicago quite a bit in the fall. On his way home he would stop in Green Bay at the farmers market and buy bushels of pears 🍐 and peaches 🍑 for my mom to can. She would make spiced pears, so goood. We lived on a large farm so everything was processed right there. Beef, pork, chicken.What a great life❤️🍐🍑🤓
I love this story
With you on that!
Gardening and baking fresh, canning everything !
End treat was a full day of making fresh donuts as our reward ! Oh how I miss all my teachers !
Your neighbors are amazing for allowing you to pick from their tree. You should do something sweet for them like make them a few bars of home made butter and a nice jug of milk!
You have lovely followers who give excellent tips, wonderful stories, and great support. May God bless you, your family, and your fabulous followers.
Those were the biggest pears I have ever seen!
I know, right? Huge
My favorite peeler ever....like you said so much faster.
Canning 101 is a fantastic series! Sarah your a great teacher, thank you
Grandma Cooked cores and peels handmade jelly or syrup with them.
Randy Vinson mine too.
Grandma's never wasted a thing.
Linda Mineer you know it
Randy, my grandmother & mother made jelly with apple & peach peels too.
I did that this year, turned out really great.
What a blessing to learn from you. Hugs and kisses to your girls
They look like Bosc pears. The skins run from a smooth greenish to a rough brown. Hard pears and yes great for canning, baking and stewing. My favorite pears for eating any way. Those are beautiful!
Oh how i love pears! Those are incredible. So wonderful that the neighbors are happy to share their pear bounty!
Many years ago we would pick pears and mom would make pear preserves. I need to find a pear tree. Have a Wonderful & Blessed Day!
That was AWE-some. Love these types of videos. Thanks a bunch.
I have been canning for 4 years now. I watch you do you canning and now I want to can everything you make it so easy . Thank you
This was fun...thanks for doing this video....I am almost 60 and never canned before ...but am really interesting in learning. I love watching you guys.....you are living my dream....
Loved watching. My mouth waters.
Oh, thanks for bringing back some sweet memories …. any time my mom canned preserves, be it pear, fig, mock strawberry, huckleberry, blueberry, or dewberry we would have breakfast for supper that evening …. hot biscuits to enjoy the fresh preserves and bacon, eggs and grits!!! Oh, those were the days!!! Again, thank you for stirring up the memories!!!
Sarah - thank you for this video. I love pears, they are my favorite⭐
Sarah, I always enjoy your canning videos! Such thorough explanations. Those pears will be amazing to eat in the winter when you are craving a little sweetness.
wonderful canning video Sara! Thanks so much!!
you could graft a branch off there to your pear tree when doing some spring pruning
or also try air layering
I would love to know how to do that. My son has a old apple tree I would love to get a tree from. If you could nMessage me how to do that I would be so grateful.
We have had 5 gallons of vinegar going for the last 8 years; apple, wild plum, peach, and pear. Pear make a milder vinegar than apple. Excellent flavored vinegar. Try old time cast iron apple peelers on the pears. Works great for us. Your pears look great.
I am grateful for your pear preserving video. My husbands pear tree is loaded this year for the first time ever. We have hundreds of pears. I will can them using citric acid. Thank you.🍐🍐🍐🍐🍐🍐🍐🍐🍐
You guys ROCK! Yet another trip down memory lane! We had pear trees on our farm and we canned pears and made pear preserves. Oh my, so good! Thanks!
Nice looking pears! Very kind neighbors.
I mean this in the absolute best of terms, you guys are dorky and adorable.
You guys are such an inspiration to me. I love watching your videos.
You two are adorable.
I love pears❤️❤️🌺so fun watching you❤️
I’m very happy I found you guys in UA-cam. Thank you for sharing 👏
We got to harvest from our young pear tree for the first time. 26 🍐 are now in seven half pints and one pint as slices in syrup for my cottage cheese. The last couple made a jelly jar and a half of a quick pear butter. So excited about our first harvest.
Sarah I am hoping y'all show us your canning pantry soon. Your pears look beautiful. Have a great day
Omg they look amazing! Thank you again for this beautiful tutorial!❤
Remember going as a family to a tree out in the middle of a field in Illinois and picking baskets of pears. Not as big as yours 😉. My mom dissolved red hot cinnamon drops for the syrup and canned them in halves. So pretty! One of my daughters will only eat canned pears because grandma had pink pears, and that’s the only way she thought they should be 😆
red hots in the canned pears brings back fond childhood memories
I love what you are doing...my mom used to serve canned pears over cottage cheese. You have the means to make cottage cheese and canned pears right where you are. Inconceivable!
Just look at those beautiful white slices in the jars! The rewards of your work! : )
With the scraps, I make pear jelly. Our FAVORITE is adding a small bit of orange extract (you don't want it to overpower) and some orange zest for looks. SO YUMMY!
Thank you for sharing your passions with us.
Love the pears. thanks for showing this to us.
The Ball canning book is also my favorite reference for canning. It is definitely my go-to book.
We just blanch the pears for 15 seconds and drop them in cold water and the skin comes of big time saver.
Mark Hoyt ....wow! I didn’t know that....have used that method for peaches. Thanks!
Mark Hoyt I blanched mine this year and it sure sped up the peeling process. Great advice!
Your pears look so great. God bless you
Pear preserves with hot butter biscuits on a cold fall morning,, brings back many good memories! Those wasps were looking for moisture and the sweet pear was ripe for the picking. Those with big holes or half eaten were probably from birds.
I have the same peeler. I also have one just like it bit with rippled cutters. Love them. Good luck with pears. Super nice neighbors. God. 🤗Bless 🙏🏻
Yummmmy! We love Pears. Our favorites with pears are, Pear Butter and Dried Pears. The Dried Pears are like candy.
Another great video, instructions really easy to follow, thank you
Won't you be...my neighbor? That was the biggest and nicest pear tree I have ever seen. Lucky you!
My Grandma had a pear tree just like that one . The way you describe the pears it's just like Grandma's. They were hard as a rock until the late fall . All she ever did with them was can them , and were they ever good . Wish i could have a jar of Grandma's canned pears . Such good memories. Till next time take care and God bless .
How huge and delicious those look!! Yum! Lucky yous
I put my jars in the oven to get them warm after they are washed.
you two inspire me.. so much fun.. so much love.
I'm so glad I found your channel- you guys are so sweet! Thanks for sharing so much information!
Wow! Those are huge. They would be delicious poached in Port wine with vanilla ice cream.
I bet that the yellow jackets have a nest in the ground under the tree.
Love you guys..♥ Thanks🌻🏵🌻
You are amazing. Thank you for sharing all your knowledge .
you two make a great pear God bless love the video
This was another awesome video. Love watching a wife and husband work so great together. Maybe a fresh pear cake would be a blessing to those wonderful neighbors you all got the pears from. ♥️🙏🏻
Could you give us tour of your canning shelves?
Oh yes! And your freezer😃
I have to ask, do y’all have some kind of clue to know when to take turns talking?
You are not talking over each other
Just wondering
Suzanne Simpson, You may know this by now but, in one of their videos that I watched yesterday, Sarah said NOPE! No tour because they don't have a pantry so there are boxes of canned goods through out their house, under beds, etc. 🙂
Great video folks, thanks for sharing with us 👍👍
I have learned so much from you!!! Thank you so much!!!!!
Wonderful pears! Great for you guys! Love watching your channel! nancy from Canada
G'day guys, Wow!! That's a nice big pear tree with good size pears. Will be interesting to see how the pear cider vinegar goes. God bless you guys.
I canned our pears from our own trees again this year and put vanilla bean curd in each jar. Mmm so good!
Again, great video...I always enjoy your videos and you and Kevin are so easy to watch. You both give equal information while respecting each others opinion. We do not know if you edit your videos a lot before the public views them, but your delivery, grammar and speaking ability is very professional.
My day is a great day when I watch you. (And that is every day that you produce a video.)
Thank you.
My dad would wrap the greener pears in newspaper and store until yellow and ripe. They were awesome.
I love all of the videos I have seen of your homestead! I am brand new to canning and have learned so much just from watching and taking notes! Keep up the wonderful educational videos!
Your canned pears are beautiful and white!!
pick the "green" one and put them in the fridge or cellar then when you bring some into the kitchen for the bench they will ripen in the warm after a few days giving you fresh fruit without paying for them over the winter so you can do a few at a time - we had 260 acres of fruit trees - Oh and an apple will speed up the ripening process our chillers had to be cleaned and aired out for nearly a month between apples and any other fruit to stop this from happening
My grandma used to put a couple orange slices with the pears in each jar. Loved those.
If your shelves of preserved items are in a place where you can show us I'd love to see you stash of goodies. It was always so rewarding to see them all lined up. Too see the rewards of all the hard work.
I enjoy your canning videos so much! I always learn a lot.
Just Beautiful..."Great Job you two". Blessings to you and your family. Hugs from Livonia, Michigan.
Have you considered taking a scion cutting from that pear tree and grafting it onto a pear tree rootstock on your homestead? Mike Kincaid has great videos on doing grafting.
Great idea
Love that you keep instructions simple & easy to fallow! Would love warm pears with small scoop of ice cream & hot chocolate or fudge drizzled on top! Nom, nom, nom! 💜
You'll be shocked at how fast your pear tree grows. I planted one five years ago and it's huge. We have to prune the top so we can actually reach the pears, and we still need a ladder. When I can pears for pies, I'll go ahead and add my cinnamon to the syrup. Pears makes delicious pies, to me they are better than apple.
Sugar cane has no natural pest problem, our families in the south grew cane every year to make cane syrup. The processing is the same whether it be labeled organic or not. Just a little tidbit that might help you save a few dollars.
Pears are so versatile
they are called Bartlett canning pears here in South Carolina, I use to put up my own as well, just love watching you 2 working together, God bless you and your family 🤗🙏
I know they have lots of usable but cores and skins would be a treat for all your animals too!!
Use the steam juicer for jelly etc!
