- Join Kelley Wilkinson as she teaches us about making the most of the harvest by finding ways to preserve food without canning and minimizing refrigeration. Learn how to store food; from use of Mason jars, to vacuum sealed bags. Eat and enjoy while you maximize the abundance of your garden year round when you utilize these simple methods. Store your bounty from every season at minimal cost. While we do cover refrigeration in this video, we decided to change the title to "Preserving Food Without Canning" after the video was produced. Refrigeration is also part of this video.
One tip... She recommended using a straw to get air out of bags before freezing them. I fill the sink up with water and put the bag in and the pressure of the water squeezes the air out. It's fantastic and a lot better on your lungs!
Great idea. Thanks.
Oh my gosh! AWESOME idea!!!
Excellent idea...
that is a waste of water
I recently bought a pump-n-seal. It's a hand operated pump that has a hose attached to it, so it can be used similar to using the straw, but works much better. Without the hose attachment it can be used to removed the air from glass jars. It works great and since it's hand operated it will still work when the power is out.
I would add sprouting, it's great for having fresh and concentrated veggies
Yes, been sprouting, on and off, for years. Must start some, thanks for reminding me.

“Before there was a name for it “ it was called homesteading and before that it was called survival. Those who gathered and stored food lived through the winter and those who didn’t died. It’s in our dna to prepare.
Thank you for saying that. I use to blame my prepping nature on my moms drug addiction because it seemed to be the only thing the people in my life could understand. But the truth is that's never really been the reason it was just helpful. I told my mom before she died that I secretly hoard seeds and I can't control it. She said that I was the Noah of seeds getting ready for something. But iv come to the conclusion that its just part of my DNA

@@cashmerewoods7538 how long do seeds last.
I was prepared this crisis. So much so that I was able to give to a few families in isolation too.
Amen! I was able to as well.
We were in the military and when hubby was underway you couldn't be sure that paycheck would be deposited. So, I learned to keep a minimum of three months supplies in my pantry . Not only food, but OTC medications, personal hygiene items, etc. I cycle it through so it doesn't go out of date. It came in very handy with the pandemic. As you said, there's always enough to share and donate to food shelf drives.
Bless you for thinking of others.

I acidentially made live malt vinegar once. I made homebrew beer but forgot about it, came back and I had 5 gallons of perfect malt vinegar.
.......ohhhh really? I was just thinking about researching how to make malt vinegar yesterday..
That is so cool
A trick I learned from an old man on tomatoes. We lived in Wa ,short growing season and cold winters. We would pick tomatoes green and put in garage. Dark and cool out there. Would bring in as needed a day or two early and they would ripen.
And layer them with news paper between the layers. Sometimes mom would put a box or two under my bed, I was over the garage and it was cold.
How is this a trick from an old man? The literal entire agricultural infrastructure of the whole world does this. They pick green tomatoes and ripen them as they're delivered.
This is amazing. I’ve always wanted to do this. I think this is a sign to try it. That would be amazing to have varies fruits & veggies dehydrated during a natural disaster.

And than you do not NEED a huge house and 25 fridge and freezer because they do not take up LOTS of space and can have it to 'in NEED it times like winter etc.
you can also make cured or buy a smoke meet or ham and do it for your self. We do it here in Europe and than we know what we eat. Yes some maybe need experience for to find out how the taste suit one but still worth it. ...and fun and exercise in the right way as well because you use all the body. by walk to get something bend
turn use muscles ( it sound stupid but it does build up for the and for the older age) enough for to be fit and the use the fingers which keep it well coordinated ( training ) with the body but most the brain and the soul is in there. both when make it and when ENJOY the taste of it. ! small things but VERY IMPORTANT and it is WIN either way.
happy you are happy for to re-adapt our fore fathers wizens

Thank you!
I agree, I'll take it to my natana easy farm.
@@natanaeasygarden168 She miss one thing. Brining and brining is composed of two kinds of brining. The 1st brining method uses dissolved salt saturated water pass saturation point. The 2sd brining method uses dissolved salt saturated in all kinds of very strong vinegar pass saturation point. The British Navy uses brined pork that can last 10 or more years, it was brined beef that allowed Sir Francis Drake to circumnavigate the world and discover California pass the Straits Of Magellan at the tip of Chile and Argentina near the Antarctic of the South Pole.
This was very informative and I learned some new things! I would like to offer a bit of constructive criticism would be to avoid referring to lacto ferments as "pickling" as this can be confusing for people new to the process. I feel pickling should only be a term used when you are using hot vinegar during the process.
Exactly!
I'm watching this in January 2023 and I smile at your insight to prepare. I've been a homesteader for 40 years and never called all the canning and dehydrating prepping. I also enjoy fermenting and recently purchased a freeze dryer. I'm busy everyday doing at least one of these to preserve my foods.
I just wandered past this presentation and I have to say it is awesome!
Same here! She's amazing! I totally want to start doing all this now lol!

Good point right at the start - Store what you eat and eat what you store
Very helpful. Thank you. It is a bit harder to store foods like this in the UK as preserving is treated as a niche hobby instead of a daily necessity so equipment is very expensive. Organic too is way more expensive than non-organic. Doing my best though.
Kelley, I believe Tabasco puts salt on top of their lids to protect it from dirt, rodents etc from being on the lids...but, also as it ferments and off gasses, the vapor that comes out collects in the salt and creates a crust further protecting it.
*Nodding* when she says canning jars are her best friend. I ADORE canning jars!!! I use them for storing washed salad greens, storing hot soup etc in the fridge (who wants to put hot foods into plastic containers - eek!) etc. I also use them for shelf storage. I had the misfortune of getting pantry moths 5 years ago. A bag of walnuts fell into the back of my pantry & the moths became a nightmare to get rid of. We ended up ripping out the ceiling in our pantry in order to get rid of all their hiding spots!
Now, with the exception of cereal which I date when I open so I can keep it rotated, anything that isn't going to be used in a couple of days goes into a mason jar. I have a vacuum sealer that I use for my food saver bags. I use the mason jar attachment for long term dehydration storage of produce I've dried in my Excalibur, but most non-dehydrated items don't even need the sealer...just that little rubber edge on the underside of the mason jar lid is enough. I reuse lids ONLY for non-canning applications. Last year was my first time using the 1/2 gallon mason jars. I've rotated most of my dry pantry items like flour, rice, pasta, beans etc. into 1/2 gallon mason jars. I even use them for my tortilla chips (I still buy some stuff from the regular grocery store). They keep well so I can take my time eating them without worrying about them going stale or having to reseal a bag each time I want a few chips. I use scotch tape and a sharpie to write what's in the jar - that way I don't even have to dig for a specific lid when I want to restock.
Yes, I do can a few things...high acid foods...but I mainly use my canning jars for pantry and fridge storage. You would be amazed how moist raisins bought in a large bag stay, for example, if you keep your primary large jar in dark storage and only pour out a small mason jar's worth to keep on the sunny counter. I even use them for spice storage. Again, I have pint mason jars for dark storage of my spices & jam jars for the toasted & ground spices I use a lot. It keeps them much fresher and more pungent than storing them in an open plastic or ziploc bag.
rachiti. Give me a wide mouth mason, anyday
Do you have any links to attachments for sealing those jars? I cant find it :o
I have to say a million times over thank you so much for this video and the many others. I have truly enjoyed and learned so much. I especially loved your comment " we grow the cake and buy the icing". That's what I want in my life. As I turn 50 my goals and ideas of success has completely changed and have what I valued in my 2nd half of living. I want to achieve 80%-90% of my own production. You're doing such an amazing job and I am loving the example given. Pammie from CHICAGO
Thank you so much for that! You filled in quite a few blanks for me! I just started pickling and preserving this year. I had made some pickles before but not on this scale. Some turned out great, some not. Mostly because of recycled vegetable jars. Don't use those. If you try to be frugal with this, you're going to have significant failure. In the meantime, i bought hundreds of reusable rubber seal, glass lid weck jars. Amazing stuff. My dill pickles mostly failed, wrong jars, bleeding rust and oozing god knows what, my eastern european style kraut is delicious, from some lovely, i think Polish lady on here. I also dehydrated a lot of things like beans, chillies and squash and i just refurnished to have a beautiful wooden open pantry to display my winter wealth. All my jars and quaint little orange kitchen knick-knacks i collect from the 60's. Just so satisfying! These are the things that make you feel truely rich.
I make pickles with recycled pasta sauce jars and they turn out great. :u
@Sandra Watts I've heard lettuce grows really well in small containers indoors or on patios.
I wasn't able to do it from seeds but that's probably on me. I'm very talented at killing poor plants. I even managed to kill a spider plant.
But for the lettuce you just pick off the leaves you want to eat and leave the rest to continue growing.
@Sandra Watts lettuce is super easy to grow indoors with as little as a fluorescent shop light or even led light tape! I highly recommend the Red Wing Lettuce Mix seeds from Baker Creek. As delicious as it is beautiful.
Do you have any videos. It would help.
I'm glad to read about the different jars.
Nirrrina I kill air plants!!! So I get it! LOL. I’m in the process of growing lead lettuce indoors. So far I’m good. Time will tell.
I want to do this. People are very educated. you are a good teacher
Dearly love pickled green shelly beans. My grandmother used to make this in a crock jar and I would help her many years ago so I do not remember exactly how she did it. The more shelled beans the better. I would love to see you make this sometime.

It's all hunky dorky as long as you have electricity. I'm an Iowa farm kid. We canned everything. Everyone one lives till 90 years old. Yes you can thrive on canned food. Your Heavenly Father will protect you, if your obey. He will give you GMO free manna.

I agree. Not everyone can afford to buy everything fresh and organic. Unless you have a greenhouse, never seen the point of organic. Chemtrail particles don’t pick out certain soil to grow in and leave other souls alone.

I emjoyed your demo. It was hard to uhderstand questions from your audience. I was hoping you would cover freeze drying. Thank you for all. Good info.
This is brilliant. Thank you!
What I really need is recipes for dehydrated food cooking. I haven't been very successful. I've eaten some very good dishes with dehydrated vegetables and they were quite good. The occasions precluded my asking for the recipes.
I have had 2 dehydrators. The 1st one's motor failed. The second still works but I haven't liked. This was before the internet and, unlike my 1st one which was a forced-air dehydrator, the only one I could find is convection based one depending on the heated air rising, escaping, and circulating in fresh.air. It isn't efficient and the dehydration is uneven.
I'm probably going to replace it with the Ex-caliber now upon your excellent review. It appears to be an excellent machine.
Once again, thank you for so much helpful information.

I'm also deadly allergic to pepper spices, so I got a hold of the company of Clubhouse , which makes Clubhouse Italian Seasoning with the red lid only which uses dehydeppers, the black lid has pepper spices. Substitute paprika using turmeric instead.

I have always kept a pantry( grew up with Depression parents)
I hunt for deals and then label them and put them away but I have also shared with some elderly friends that don't have much and I love to cook. I do take meals to people and share them and I love that and being able to do it. This year has been very strange in Washington state and the garden has not done as well as I expected I also did not get as much planted but I have been able to enjoy plenty and I am trying to put things up in the most nutritious way. I ordered the Mason Jar Vacuum sealing lids and I just got them the other day so they may be hard to find I am now going back and vacuum sealing the things that I dehydrated earlier and put in mason jars. I am also keeping a list of things with the date and stickers. I have color-coded stickers if they are dehydrated raw I use a blue sticker if they have been blanched or cooked in any way I use a red sticker and if they are pickled and dried I use a yellow sticker, I live in a converted garage with a concrete floor so I use a floor which stays cool as part of the storage process. It sounds weird but I think I'm going to be storing boxes of potatoes under my bed this winter. Although I plan on cooking more and dehydrating so I don't have too many I don't need any mold in the house!
Hi i am new to learning how to store food for my family of 5 adults 😊 your video is awesome
this lady here.... THE BEST! lol, keep being real!
I love your kitchen.
I believe in being self sufficient. I grew up that way. We lived in a very rural area, in fact, we did not have electric lights or refrigeration yet. We grew our own vegetables and raised our own meat. We did need to go to the grocery store but it wasn't often. As a child I learned to preserve things and can. I have grown to enjoy this. Now my family knows how to do most of this. Even the boys get into some of the work and they seem to enjoy it too, especially the jerkey and fruit leather. Even if you live in an an apartment you can do some preservation even if it is limited to the space you have.
I just clean out some of my jars now I can use them for some thank you first time looking at your viv .
From France: That was very useful!
@S Masco Re-animation! Yes zombie food can be re-animated after a certain time, can take a minute up to 37 minutes.
Depends of the state of decomposition. Do not answer please.
I will never forget when my parents came back from TX with large fresh coolers of something called 'dates'. It was maybe in 75?76?77? They were like candy. I have never had them since. Now, I am the cook of the family. I guess it is next on my list now to try again. (Everything old is new again). Right?
Oh they are delicious with almond butter!!!
Great information. Liked after the purslane joke. Good job 👌
can you tell me please what model your food saver is? thank you. really enjoyed this !
This is a wonderful resource, thank you!
Nice I love it keep preserving
Thank you for this amazing high quality presentation.
I've been preserving for years and still learned new things. : )
With the world changing around us as we speak I am sure that the young people would have actually joined the audience.
Hopefully these difficult times will not break their spirit but they will change their outlook on the world and life matters. We will survive it and will be better.... peace to all.
What a great class. I could listen to you all day. Do you have any books out?
Very informative :) about drying bananas I thought the same and didn't like them the first time and didn't trie nothing at all after first time for years... found it useless... but ... now I tried it again, longer time ... and now...hoooorrraaayyy... they are so crunchy great tasting, I love them soooo much... before, I always had so many bananas left and had no use for all, now they are eaten allmost, as soon they are dried :D
And now the "dryer" is running almost every day, because its so much fun, taste good and I find allways something :)
I drie vegetable and blend them for a instant soup...yummi... :)
Now I try mushrooms for soup... 😀 .
I love your lifestyle!
Thank you .Now i thinking about....
Love the video. So much kno8 to us new people. Yes I'm diabetic so it you could share your almond farmer I would appreciate it.
Sadly, looking at the audience, I see a lot of grey hair and few younger people.
I'm 79, raised on a post-depression wheat farm during WWII. 6 miles from the closest town, 3 miles of muddy gravel road. We could plan on being snowed in for 6 weeks in the winter. We had to have what we would eat put aside in the summer and fall.
I'm am 54, it is a shame that the art of 'putting up' is almost non-existent.
Why is it a shame exactly? Don't you think the reason you and I are alive is because our families were the ones that learned how to plan? This attitude that people can't make a mistake is crazy. People die all the time from being stupid, and I don't want those people around me to be brutally honest. Educate the ignorant, but don't forgive the foolish.
I'm 68 and was raised by 2 Farm kids as parents so preserving food is something so natural. I've canned mushrooms even, and I am not quitting! I have a great dehydrator and taught my girls too. I love the old ways, dependable. I feel sorry for those who don't know.

I am 81, grew up on a midwestern farm. Every fall my mother and I canned fruit and vegetables. When she bought a freezer, we froze meat and most of the vegetables from her garden. Still canned some of the fruit. We were snowed in several days due to the winter snowstorms, good to have the food we froze and canned.
If it makes you feel any better, I'm 22 and I loved every minute of this video. There are some of us out there!
Love all that you covered on this class. Thank you. I just subscribed to your channel as well.

Freeze dryers are a lg initial investment. But they pay themselves off in a yr. A commercial meal costs $9-10ea, at home about $3ea, _including_ the cost of elect!
My bro & I split the cost of 1 unit. In 4mos I've put away 82 ready to eat meals + meats + fruits, veg, spices (and powdered purslane) + ice cream + 20 *doz* powdered eggs w/spice & cheese. The sky's the limit. For me, meals; my bro is all about the meats + spices. We both have gardens.

Great info. When giving a lesson, it helps to repeat the question asked, otherwise, we have no idea what question is getting answered.
Lots of great tips!
Thank You 😊

Thank you for the tips! Once you've added the layer of olive oil to prevent evaporation and insects, can you still add eggs to the solution? - Or add new solution to increase volume?
If this is referring to egg water glassing, yes you can add more eggs and then add more solution if necessary.
Ground foods can last up to one year if you do not open the jar and all the while, it is in the freezer. But if you open and close the jar off and on, while in the freezer, it is only good for one month at freezing temperature of minus 2 to plus 4 degrees centigrade.
Hi, do you know how to use rosemary to preserve a dry baked food? Thanks!
This was very informative. Thanks so much for sharing. Janice
where do u get that attachment to seal the canning jars?? ..... I NEED that ,, not seeing it w any of the food savers
You need to buy the jar sealers separately. Amazon sells them. Food Saver used to sell them on their site, but apparently no longer do.

In Indian cuisines, *"KASHMIRI RED CHILI PEPPERS",* are known in Hindi language as: *"KASHMIRI LAL MIRCH".*
They are used primarily to *GIVE FOODS RED COLOR!*
They are very low in *"scovil rating",* are *NOT SPICY HOT* at all.

Do you put oxygen absorbents in your jars of dried foods?
We have 100 glass canning jars stored in barn and live in midwest with long winters. Can canning jars be used if they have been below freezing and very hot during summer.
Is it ok to use those to can garden tomato, beans, etc...
I will dehydrate too. Thank you for your you tube. Midwest Hobby Farm

purslane, portulaca is also known as pigweed. Do not encourage it in Australia. It is a noxious weed of significance.
canning food makes it far safer for far longer, as long you do it right.
Absolutely, but her point is that it cooks the life out of it, and these methods are plenty safe enough!
kerc Chan I took pressure canning classes at the local extension office, for $10. It was a tiny bit of money well spent. I love sitting outside and canning on a gas grill stove. Oh the spoils of summer😉
@@mrs8792 where was that class offered at? I need to take a class!
