    Ben's "Dad Jokes" are the worst, which makes them perfection. Keep up the good work Ben. I recently watched a video where a woman pickled cucumbers and she took the jars and lids, ect., out of the box and filled them up. I posted in the comments that I think she needs to boil (sanitize) the jars and lids, fill the jars, and them water bath them all again. My comment went "viral." Well, not really, but I had 50 replies all warning the woman to throw out all her very easy work. If canning was that easy, everyone would do it all the time. You saved the lives of one of my favorite youtubers and her significant other and any random guests they might have. Just so ya know.

    I'll say it again lol. Meg's kitchen. It would be an instant hit on youtube, but of course that's another video a week to produce and as a fellow youtube vid maker, I can attest to the fact that doing a video a week is challenging at best and you already do 4 lol! But we do enjoy your adventures in the kitchen. Then again, you already have it mixed in your other videos, and that's part of their charm. I do enjoy watching the whole family's adventures. ❤❤

    Guys, I love it that you are real and show things even when there is stuff everywhere. We have a small house too with no storage, and when produce is coming in there is produce, jars, canning supplies etc just stacked everywhere! And messes of productivity everywhere. When you show the nitty gritty of life, I appreciate that! I feel I’m not alone. 🥰

    Tabletop roaster oven. Line the bottom with aluminum foil and wet flour sack cloth. I fill my pint jars water place in roaster oven, then fill with water . Set temperature 200° . Helps when doing a lot of canning.

I canned jalapeño peach jam, habanero peach jam, regular peach jam, peach pie filling, and canned peaches in syrup. I wish all the water bath canning could be done in the winter instead of summer time when it’s 110 outside!! Thank you for another great video and for sharing with us.

    Meg , after harvesting my mom would dehydrate a plethora of veggies Inc. Tomatoes, squash, bell peppers, mushrooms ,and leafy greens. Put them in a blender to pulverize them then store them in Mason jars . In winter we'd come in from skating or shoveling snow grab a jar 2 tbsp in a mug of hot water instant veg broth . I'm 63 now .
    This happened in the 60's and 70's . She did that on cookie sheets low temp in thee oven door propped open slightly

    When I do hot pack canning, I'll put a bit of the hot food into each jar right off the bat to help keep all of the jars hot for the entire filling time. Otherwise I feel like the last several jars have cooled off too much while waiting to be filled and increasing the risk of heat shock. Just my $0.02.

    In 2020, when there was a canning lid shortage, I used the tattler lids, which are great, but I can't tell you how much I missed the sound of metal lids sealing! It is such a satisfying sound after all the work to process!

    We love the kitchen cooking and canning it's fun to watch even though I don't can much nowadays.
    I did just buy a bag of Cherries yummy and unfortunately, I'm half way through them 🥴.
    Dinner looks so delicious roast, potatoes and bruschetta yum.
    Hope everyone is feeling better now. Can't wait for the peaches.
    Blessings to all. 😊🇺🇲

    I really really enjoyed this episode, it’s nice to see the whole family working together like usual but this episode has so much information on it. Also Sister always gives me a good laugh.
