WOMAN!! As my Daddy used to say, that girl could sell you the clothes you're already wearing! I'm trying all of those suggestions in short order. I'm so so glad you mentioned the soft asparagus, because I despise canned asparagus but love it fresh. That fermented one you showed sounded SO crunchy! That is definitely happening as soon as I find the next sale price on asparagus (or celery).
Hi Trista! Your comment made me laugh out loud😀! That is too kind. I’m a northern gal but my husband and dad are from the south so my meals have to pass their tastebud test! While canning is my favorite preservation method , I’m all about finding the best option (dehydrating, fermenting, etc) to stock my pantry and take advantage of sales/seasonal produce. Thank you so much for saying hello!!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl I've been binge watching since finding your channel a couple weeks ago. Hearing a northern girl say "y'all" as much as this southern girl does, makes me smile! For a city dweller, you sure are showing some folks up with your skills and ingenuity. Keep it up!!
@@the1tigglet Good to know! I have been trying to decide what to put on my cattle panel trellis has, so I will give those are try for one of those trellises this year.

Hi Sharon! Oh Wow, thank you! See what having OCD (obsessive canning delight) can make a woman do? Lol. I've been canning for a few years and its changed the way we eat, store, and enjoy food so much. I'm happy to share what I've learned (and learn from you, too) along the way! I'll see you around the channel!
Loved you showing how to use your canned food! That is what’s missing in these videos. Also showing alternative ways to can (fermenting) was genius. You definitely got my attention.
Hi Betty! Thank you for saying hello! Absolutely! When I was a knew canner (and also someone that has limited space) I thought, "If I can this, how will I actually use this" I also skipped over so many recipes because I just couldn't picture how I'd use it. While canning is my favorite form of food preservation, I've started to realize that all of the preservation methods work in tandem (canning, fermenting, dehydrating, freezing) so I thought I'd share the "work around"--fermenting has been such a joy! Thanks for saying hello!
Yours has been the best video in this series!! I love the application of the canned foods. Also, the menu was mouthwatering. I wanted to be your neighbor so I could try all your delicious dishes!!
I love that you showed several ways to use your canned goods! Your food already looks beautiful and you just ramped it up with your home canned food. ❤️❤️❤️
Hi Donna! Aww, thanks friend! When I was new to canning I always thought, "how am I going to use this"--once you get into a rhythm cooking with your canned foods the possibilities become endless! Thanks for saying hello!

Came here because of Leann's collaboration and happy I did! I am very new to canning and enjoyed your video very much! Loved how you showed the finished product and ways to use it.

Hi Lisa! Oh my, that's a tall order! I'm truly just a workin' gal chasing after her dream, and he excitement is real! Canning has made meal prep easier, cheaper, healthier and tastier! Learning preservation skills has been the most empowering (and useful) kitchen/homestead skill I'm glad I started to explore several years ago. I appreciate Rachel so much for her kind gesture. Thank you for saying hello!
Obsessive Canning Delight! LOL LOVE that! You need to be an audio book narrator...ever heard that before? There's so much personality in your voice. OH my, how to remember all these lovely meals...
Hello Wild Nature Farm! I’m assuming you have OCD, too? 🤪🤦🏾♀️ If so, the good/bad news is that it can’t be cured so just embrace it! Several folks I’ve met here on the channel have shared that, which I’ll take as a compliment! Luckily, I’m already employed in a job I love (Public school Coach). Even while there were some canning misses, so much more works to give you fully cooked ingredients to start delicious meals. Thanks for saying hello!
Miss LeAnn is so AWESOME! How awesome is it when and amazing sweet friend introduces you to another awesome person. Can't wait to go back and see more of what you do. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Brenda! Aww, thanks so much! Thank you for saying hello! If there are any upcoming seasonal ingredients you’d like me to feature I’m happy to take requests! Take good care!
Wow you are the most enthusiastic UA-camr I have ever seen. I loved everything you showed looked so delicious, I am so happy I came across your channel. Thank you for sharing
Hi Deborah! YES! I get so excited talking about canning! I’m harmless, though-I promise! Thanks for stopping by! I have many more canning recipes here on the channel!
Hello Friend, I devoured this episode with the quickness. As a seasoned canner, you can imagine I've had my share of hit and misses. No problem cause you gotta learn. I have my fermenting kit just not done anything with it. With the high cost of groceries, I have been enjoying my canned goods. And it ALWAYS does my heart good to unload the dishwasher with a few canning jars in it. Easter is coming and I so want to experiment with lemons and maybe lavender or something bright and springlike. Another excellent canning adventure. Be Blessed.
Hi Martha! It's always good to see you! I hear you about having your share of hits and misses. I was limited to 5 but in my early days of canning when I was still getting my bearings on quantities to can, when to can what, and determining for preservation method (canning vs. freezing vs. dehydrating vs. fermenting) it was rough. But, through it all building the skill of being able to preserve my own ingredients and take advantage of store sales without refrigeration has been so empowering! It's a skill that is practical and cost saving, but somewhere along the way it became my favorite past-time on winter weeknights and in small batches after work during the week to unwind from the day. This isn't to say that the dog days of summer when produce is coming in hard and fast doesn't get rough, but its always, always worth it! Take care friend!
OMG! How have I not known about you before? Your recipes look amazing. Thank you soOOOoo much! Subscribed and can't wait to binge watch your past videos.
Hi Carrie! Awww, thanks so much! Canning has been my favorite homesteading skill to learn while we wait on our farm dream. It's been the skill that's allowed us to eat cheaper, healthier, and more delicious than ever before and I'm happy to share what I've learned (and learn from you too). Thanks for saying hello!
I am now addicted to your channel! I love the suggestions on how to use the recipes. Yours is the only channel I’ve seen that does this . And your videographies fantastic. And your energy and enthusiasm is contagious!
Hi Jasmine! I’m so proof of you for taking the plunge and starting to can! Don’t give up, after a season or two you’ll be a pro with a delicious pantry, savings and a skill that’s invaluable!
I am so grateful for all of these colabs that are happening right now. Because they introduced me to you! You have a new subscriber! Thank you for your cheerfulness! I can’t wait to learn from you! 💙💙💙
Hello GippyWhite, you are too sweet! The canners in this collab have so many amazing tips (and the comments section of these videos has been just as helpful! Thanks joining my journey!
Hello young lady. I do enjoy canning. Water bath and pressure canning. I agree with you on all the things that you will not can again. It is so refreshing to see your fun and uplifting videos. Your personality is a real ray of sunshine. Even a seasoned canner like myself can learn new things. Keep doing what you’re doing. I will be binge watching your videos. New subscriber here.
You are hilarious, upbeat, and articulate! I’m so excited I found your channel. The recipes you discussed sound amazing! Thanks for doing this. I hope you never stop.
Hi Mae! Your words of encouragement mean so much! I’ve very much enjoyed sharing (and learning) here on YT. I lost every 7-10 days (I work full time so my posting varies) but I’m here to stay! I finally have canning friends and I’m not letting go of y’all! Thanks for saying hello!
You are SO right about carrot cake jam! I’ve been making it for years as part of our neighborhood’s “Welcome” basket. It’s always fun when our new neighbors find out I’m the carrot cake jam lady. Your videos are super! Thanks for making urban homesteading cool and attainable.
Hi Cassandra! You make canning exciting! I’ve been kinda lax about it lately, but your enthusiasm pulls me right back in! I am going to ferment celery soon and will be trying some of your ‘go to’ recipes as well. We seem to enjoy the same flavors. A lot of your suggestions have been proven winners! I truly look forward to seeing you & your amazing content full of useful information. I can’t thank you enough for all you do!! Be well my friend 😃
Hi Roseann! My OCD is real! Fermenting is a method I’ve come to rely on so much more here recently because 1. It’s so much quicker than canning and 2. I truly do have a preference for some things fermented vs canned. Give yourself some grace. I’ll be sharing a pickled cabbage recipe collab tomorrow. Always good to see you, lady!
This is the first time I've seen any of your videos and I love the positive spin you put on your "nots". Your positive attitude makes me want to enjoy more of your videos because you offer alternatives and solutions to what people may not want to CAN again. Thank you.
Several times I have made a lemon-tarragon asparagus pickle (recipe was from a blog called Putting Up with Erin). BOMB. When asparagus goes on sale, I make that. I may try the fermented route with that now that you've recommended it. I can see making a lovely asparagus soup with the soft asparagus, though. It's never cheap enough that I would ever get around to doing that, but should I suddenly end up with a bushel of asparagus and no lemons and tarragon on hand, then yes. Your home cooked recipes look fantastic. I would never think of canning all those relishes, but when I see what you do with them, I must reconsider! My favorite thing to do with blueberries is the blueberry lime jam from Kevin West's book "Saving the Season". Using lime zest and ground coriander pumps up the blueberry flavor (he explains about how "terpenes" do this. There's also a version with gin).If you don't have that book, I heartily recommend it - it is full of beautiful poetry, paintings, stories, biographies of epic preservationists, and interesting facts.
Cass, another beautiful video as usual. I've loved all of your canning (and fermenting) recipes that I've tried so far. I'm def going to be making the zucchini relish this year because that sandwich you made.... 😋. Side note: congrats on all the new subscribers 👏🏽. You're my fav UA-camr and I'm glad more people are getting the chance to enjoy your amazing content. Stay warm (can't believe it's snowing right now) 💕
Hi Zakia! Aww, thanks so much! Maybe this summer we can meet up? It felt like summer on Monday and now we’re back to this? Luckily it’s not sticking and I have no plans to leave the house today! And yes, it the zucchini relish is a must! YT has been an awesome hobby and I cannot tell you how nice it is to meet others, like you, on similar paths. I wish I could share more but a sistah’s gotta keep her main job going 😀 Stay warm! I’m going to be cozy with my kerosene heater and editing a second collab video that’ll post tomorrow!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl yes, definitely! I would love to meet up this summer 🤗. Please let me know how I can send you my contact info. Thanks for sharing your hobby with us! I've learned a lot from you. Enjoy your weekend!
I just found your channel and I am in love! I feel like you GET IT! As a busy working woman, you make it work, giving this newbie hope! I also I find you so easy to watch, I love your energy! And at the risk of sounding weird, can we just take a minute to say that you have THE most beautiful smile!
GIRL you are FABUUULOUS!!! Your energy is contagious and it really pepped me up from my working overtime hangover this morning(Saturday). Wow! I love the ideas and HAVE to have the recipes. I subscribed to you yesterday finding you on the canning and won’t can again videos. I just love you and shared your videos with my 33 yo daughter. She will love you too. Thank you thank you!
Hello Missouri Girl! Your kind words encourage me so much and we certainly all need that (especially you given your work schedule, but I’m in the grind with you). I’m so happy what I’m sharing is helpful. I’m telling you-canning has been the best way I’ve learned to keep our budget in check, healthy meals on the table and support local agriculture. Thanks for saying hello!
Yay! Thank you! I love meeting other canners, sharing recipe that have worked well in my kitchen, and learning from others. I"ll see you around the channel!
First time Ive seen your channel and oh my gosh - I am in love. You are adorable and your energy in infectious. Love how you show how you use your foods - I want to cook like you! Subscribed - hit the bell and I’m off to check out everything else I can find of yours.
Hi Nathalie! Thanks for saying 👋🏾 hello! It’s so nice to meet you. My OCD (obsessive canning delight) is real and I get so excited to share (and learn) with others. I promise I’m harmless! I’ll see you around the channel!
I am SO glad you did this Collab !!! You were so enjoyable to watch and your foods look Amazing 🤩 I just subbed and will be binge watching ALL your videos . 🙂
I just stumbled across your channel while reviewing others I had been following for some time. Your delivery, energy overall presentation is quite impressive, I may say you might be raising the standards for others. I am starting to expand my projects to include fermantation and including how you use your finished products is a real plus. Keep up the great work! Joni
Hi Joni! Aww, thanks for the words of encouragement. I truly have learned so much from the UA-cam canning community, and I'm so appreciative that others don't mind my quirks! Fermentation is such a compliment to canning. For the things that I either don't prefer canned (or just don't have time to process) fermenting has been a life saver. The book "Fermented Vegetables" is my go to, for sure! Take care, friend!
I love your channel!!! I love that you show multiple ways to use the canned foods! I’m going to try to make some of those sauces! Yum! You make them sound SO DELICIOUS!!! Thanks for sharing! And...I’ve never even considered fermenting food...you have convinced me to try that!
Hello, Maribeth! I am SO HAPPY you are considering fermenting, because I totally get your reservation. All you need is a handful of good recipes and before you know it, you'll be fermenting everything. While canning is my first love, I truly see food preservation as a set of skills that involve canning, fermenting and dehydrating working together. Thanks for saying hello!
I'm making my way through this playlist and love your video. Clearly you put time and effort into this creation and I wanted to say that it shows! Can't wait to make my way through your other vids. New Sub
Hi Laura! Thank you so so much! I’m so thrilled LeAnne asked me to take part and I’m truly sharing my joy to both encourage others (and continue to learn new things myself)! Thanks for saying hello!
Hi Cindy! Thanks you so much! Yes, I'm convinced that us canners have the secret key to the best tasting food and that popping the lids from our jars include recipes you can only get from someone that is a food preserver! Thanks for stopping by with such encouraging words!
Thank you so much! I just can't tell you how much canning has changed our meal prep, help stock the pantry, and unlocked meals I could never make without a home pantry. I appreciate that you don't mind my quirks! Thanks for saying hello!
Fantastic video, you are a delightful lady to watch! You have me pumped to try fermented items. Will start me research tonight on how to do this. Hoping I don’t have to buy special jars. Thank you and God bless.
Cranberry steak sauce! You won me over! Subscribed. Thank you for such great information, and so organized with the presentation. Glad you participated in sweet LeAnne’s collaboration! Blessings. Have a great day.
Oh my goodness!!!! I loooooove your vlogs! Not only do you have awesome content and I mean AWESOME but you are so upbeat and fun to watch! I'm so thankful I found your channel! I got a lot of catching up to do. :) Blessings!!
Hi Beverly! Yes, I loooooove Rachel. I know that she's been part of a lot of collabs recently (including the recent fermenting collab) so maybe scheduling didn't work out. Isn't her basement canning pantry the stuff dreams are made of?!
Just subscribed! Your enthusiasm, delicious recipes and fermenting tips on asparagus sold me on your channel! Am looking forward to checking out all your videos🤗
Hi Linda! You'll LOVE fermented asparagus. There are tons of recipes out there so take your time narrowing down on a few that have flavor combinations you'll likely enjoy. Plus, fermenting is quick and you don't need canning lids. Thanks for stopping by!
Hello Faith Family Homestead! I think I just saw you pop up on IG too?! Having a home canned pantry has opened up so many meal ideas and that are quick and delish! Thanks for saying hello!!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl that's awesome!! I just started canning this past week but look forward to learning more and trying those fermented asparagus 🤣 as I just planted 200 crowns and will definitely need to keep that in my back pocket when they start growing 😅
When canning sweet potatoes, try using a light syrup or honey. It can be super mild and light, but it does help with the texture, not sure why. And for the cranberries try canning them in orange juice, it makes a marmalade type feel that feels and tastes like cranberry sauce but is awesome year round. I've been canning since I was about 10, so 30 years or so...
Hi Sara! THANK YOU for these tips. I have no shame in admitting that just because I’m on UA-cam doesn’t mean im an expert and I am here to share and learn. Im self taught and I know I don’t know everything. You’ve been canning since you were 10?! What a legacy! I will certainly try both recipes again given your tips! I do appreciate you!!!
Hi Anna! The feeling is mutual! The fact that I now ferment anything that I don’t prefer the canned version of (or am just short on time) is totally because of YOUR videos 🤪
You know what would probably be amazing on that orange sandwich, is your cranberry sauce. Sounds so delicious! I live in the land of cranberries and they are in season now, so I might just have to give that sauce a try!
I just watched your video of what you will and will not can again and throughly enjoyed it. I am your newest subscriber and am looking forward to your upcoming vids. Lets hope 2022 will be a much better year than last year although it has started out pretty bad.. Keep on canning and prepping to the rafters and making those videos.. I will be watching.
Oh my gosh!!! Your videos are AMAZING!!! I’m hooked and subscribed!!! So many ideas!!! Love it!! Your so refreshing!!! Thank you and so GLAD I FOUND YOU!!
I’m screaming, FRIEND! I have got to can more. My canner is not my best friend yet.🤦🏽♀️ Your dishes and presentations are fabulous! I love the canning tracker. Fermented asparagus.🤯 I will get on that this weekend.😉 Thank you.😊
Hello, lady! Always good to see you! And yes, take the leap and start canning--it’s easier than you think and gets simplistic once you build muscle memory with a few basic steps. Fermented asparagus is so good (embarrassing, I think I repeated this several times, but it’s true!!!)
@@BecomingaFarmGirl my canning memory needs building. I’m new to canning. I’m going to get on it, and create some of the beautiful creations you’ve canned. Thank you for the inspiration. I am for sure going to ferment some asparagus.😊
Your videos are informative and inspiring. I'm getting excited about canning. Having a chest freezer is also an excellent fallback when something cannot easily be canned.
Hi Debbie! I'm so glad you found this useful! Canning is such a great way to stock your pantry economically, with the best quality food, catered to your taste. I'll see you around the channel!
I've been canning berry jams and apple butter/sauce for years, but I'd never considered any of these things, and honestly the idea of fermenting is completely new to me (I'd thought it was just pickling? clearly not!), so I can't wait to try some of these things out!
Where have you been all my life?!!! Lol I was watching another channel for a zucchini relish recipe and got distracted. Next thing I know your videos were auto running. I LOVE the way you address your viewers and talk like you’re chatting with a friend in your kitchen! I’m subscribed, and now I’m going to plan a binge watch session. Can’t wait to watch your sourdough video. Thank you!!! ❤️
Will be researching your cranberry jam. I have cranberries in the freezer that need to be used. Thanks for your participation in this collaboration!! Found your French onion soup recipe and will be adding it to my “wanna can” list. Came back to edit my comment to let you know and that you have a new subscriber!! Going now to find the cranberry steak sauce. Looking forward to all your videos!
Hi Charlotte! Your frozen cranberries will be excellent for that recipe! And yes, French onion soup is so versatile! I’m so happy to met other Canners! I’m happy to share what I know and learn from your tips and tricks too! Thanks for saying hello!
I absolutely love this video! So helpful! My mouth was watering with all the ways you use your liked canned items! You always take food to the next level! I would eat anything and everything you make! It always looks so delicious!
You bring so much energy and excitement your meals! I'm completely inspired and just have to can that cranberry steak sauce. You really need your own cooking show!
I've watched several of these videos recently and your channel is the first that I've subscribed to. Your content is vastly different, progressive and inspiring. And I'm only 5 minutes into this video, but had to stop to take care of business (like, subscribe, comment). Good job... No back to the video
New here! I really like carrot cake jam ( I add Grand Marnier to mine) and appreciate the bonus recipe ideas. I also appreciate that you ate a piece of asparagus because I prefer lacto fermented to vinegar. 👍
Hi Amy! Now THAT sounds amazing. I've gotten a few tips about canning sweet potatoes (someone said I should add a heavier sugar glaze). Sweet potato biscuits?! Yes honey--I need those in my life! So many have convinced me to give them another go! Thanks for saying hello!
I'm loving this video ❤ I've been doing a few basic canning my whole life. My mom canned and that's what i knew. I love the ways you use the canned goods. I've been wanting to try fermenting. I need the journal. I'm thinking I have a new friend.♥️

Hi Jasmine! I’m so proof of you for taking the plunge and starting to can! Don’t give up, after a season or two you’ll be a pro with a delicious pantry, savings and a skill that’s invaluable!
I am so grateful for all of these colabs that are happening right now. Because they introduced me to you! You have a new subscriber! Thank you for your cheerfulness! I can’t wait to learn from you! 💙💙💙
Hello GippyWhite, you are too sweet! The canners in this collab have so many amazing tips (and the comments section of these videos has been just as helpful! Thanks joining my journey!
Hello young lady. I do enjoy canning. Water bath and pressure canning. I agree with you on all the things that you will not can again. It is so refreshing to see your fun and uplifting videos. Your personality is a real ray of sunshine. Even a seasoned canner like myself can learn new things. Keep doing what you’re doing. I will be binge watching your videos. New subscriber here.
You are hilarious, upbeat, and articulate! I’m so excited I found your channel. The recipes you discussed sound amazing! Thanks for doing this. I hope you never stop.
Hi Mae! Your words of encouragement mean so much! I’ve very much enjoyed sharing (and learning) here on YT. I lost every 7-10 days (I work full time so my posting varies) but I’m here to stay! I finally have canning friends and I’m not letting go of y’all! Thanks for saying hello!
You are SO right about carrot cake jam! I’ve been making it for years as part of our neighborhood’s “Welcome” basket. It’s always fun when our new neighbors find out I’m the carrot cake jam lady.
Your videos are super! Thanks for making urban homesteading cool and attainable.
I snorted when you said you used the quilted jars, lol 😂 The carrot cake jam is on my list, among soooo many other’s on your channel 🥰
Hi Cassandra! You make canning exciting! I’ve been kinda lax about it lately, but your enthusiasm pulls me right back in! I am going to ferment celery soon and will be trying some of your ‘go to’ recipes as well. We seem to enjoy the same flavors. A lot of your suggestions have been proven winners! I truly look forward to seeing you & your amazing content full of useful information. I can’t thank you enough for all you do!! Be well my friend 😃
Hi Roseann! My OCD is real! Fermenting is a method I’ve come to rely on so much more here recently because 1. It’s so much quicker than canning and 2. I truly do have a preference for some things fermented vs canned. Give yourself some grace. I’ll be sharing a pickled cabbage recipe collab tomorrow. Always good to see you, lady!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl looking forward to it! 👏🙌👏🙌
This is the first time I've seen any of your videos and I love the positive spin you put on your "nots". Your positive attitude makes me want to enjoy more of your videos because you offer alternatives and solutions to what people may not want to CAN again. Thank you.
Several times I have made a lemon-tarragon asparagus pickle (recipe was from a blog called Putting Up with Erin). BOMB. When asparagus goes on sale, I make that. I may try the fermented route with that now that you've recommended it. I can see making a lovely asparagus soup with the soft asparagus, though. It's never cheap enough that I would ever get around to doing that, but should I suddenly end up with a bushel of asparagus and no lemons and tarragon on hand, then yes.
Your home cooked recipes look fantastic. I would never think of canning all those relishes, but when I see what you do with them, I must reconsider!
My favorite thing to do with blueberries is the blueberry lime jam from Kevin West's book "Saving the Season". Using lime zest and ground coriander pumps up the blueberry flavor (he explains about how "terpenes" do this. There's also a version with gin).If you don't have that book, I heartily recommend it - it is full of beautiful poetry, paintings, stories, biographies of epic preservationists, and interesting facts.
Cass, another beautiful video as usual. I've loved all of your canning (and fermenting) recipes that I've tried so far. I'm def going to be making the zucchini relish this year because that sandwich you made.... 😋.
Side note: congrats on all the new subscribers 👏🏽. You're my fav UA-camr and I'm glad more people are getting the chance to enjoy your amazing content. Stay warm (can't believe it's snowing right now) 💕
Hi Zakia! Aww, thanks so much! Maybe this summer we can meet up? It felt like summer on Monday and now we’re back to this? Luckily it’s not sticking and I have no plans to leave the house today! And yes, it the zucchini relish is a must! YT has been an awesome hobby and I cannot tell you how nice it is to meet others, like you, on similar paths. I wish I could share more but a sistah’s gotta keep her main job going 😀 Stay warm! I’m going to be cozy with my kerosene heater and editing a second collab video that’ll post tomorrow!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl yes, definitely! I would love to meet up this summer 🤗. Please let me know how I can send you my contact info.
Thanks for sharing your hobby with us! I've learned a lot from you. Enjoy your weekend!
Oh my gosh. You are a hoot to watch. Thoroughly enjoyed your video.
Hi Linda! I promise I’m harmless. Why not have a little fun!
I just found your channel and I am in love! I feel like you GET IT! As a busy working woman, you make it work, giving this newbie hope! I also I find you so easy to watch, I love your energy! And at the risk of sounding weird, can we just take a minute to say that you have THE most beautiful smile!
GIRL you are FABUUULOUS!!! Your energy is contagious and it really pepped me up from my working overtime hangover this morning(Saturday). Wow! I love the ideas and HAVE to have the recipes. I subscribed to you yesterday finding you on the canning and won’t can again videos. I just love you and shared your videos with my 33 yo daughter. She will love you too. Thank you thank you!
Hello Missouri Girl! Your kind words encourage me so much and we certainly all need that (especially you given your work schedule, but I’m in the grind with you). I’m so happy what I’m sharing is helpful. I’m telling you-canning has been the best way I’ve learned to keep our budget in check, healthy meals on the table and support local agriculture. Thanks for saying hello!
So glad I found you through this collaboration! I love your style and energy. Can't wait to try your recipes and check out your other videos.
Yay! Thank you! I love meeting other canners, sharing recipe that have worked well in my kitchen, and learning from others. I"ll see you around the channel!
First time Ive seen your channel and oh my gosh - I am in love. You are adorable and your energy in infectious. Love how you show how you use your foods - I want to cook like you! Subscribed - hit the bell and I’m off to check out everything else I can find of yours.
Hi Nathalie! Thanks for saying 👋🏾 hello! It’s so nice to meet you. My OCD (obsessive canning delight) is real and I get so excited to share (and learn) with others. I promise I’m harmless! I’ll see you around the channel!
Loved how you added how you use the canned food.
I'm so glad you found this helpful, Sheril! I always love knowing how others use their canned food pantry, so I like to share my ideas too!
I am SO glad you did this Collab !!! You were so enjoyable to watch and your foods look Amazing 🤩 I just subbed and will be binge watching ALL your videos . 🙂
Hi Jen! Aww, you are so sweet! I am so glad LeAnne thought of me. Aren't the canners in this collab just sharing some amazing ideas?!
Yes! Yes! Yes! Somebody to show how she uses what she cans. Excellent. Glad to find you.
I just stumbled across your channel while reviewing others I had been following for some time. Your delivery, energy overall presentation is quite impressive, I may say you might be raising the standards for others. I am starting to expand my projects to include fermantation and including how you use your finished products is a real plus. Keep up the great work! Joni
Hi Joni! Aww, thanks for the words of encouragement. I truly have learned so much from the UA-cam canning community, and I'm so appreciative that others don't mind my quirks! Fermentation is such a compliment to canning. For the things that I either don't prefer canned (or just don't have time to process) fermenting has been a life saver. The book "Fermented Vegetables" is my go to, for sure! Take care, friend!
Aloha from Hawaii. Quick question. How long would fermented celery and last and do I need to refridge rate for long term?
I really like how you show how you use your canned goods. I have subscribed and so glad that you were on this collaboration.
Hi Marie! I’m so glad you find this helpful! This collab features so many wonderful canners that have excellent tips. Thanks for saying hello!
I love your channel!!! I love that you show multiple ways to use the canned foods! I’m going to try to make some of those sauces! Yum! You make them sound SO DELICIOUS!!! Thanks for sharing! And...I’ve never even considered fermenting food...you have convinced me to try that!
Hello, Maribeth! I am SO HAPPY you are considering fermenting, because I totally get your reservation. All you need is a handful of good recipes and before you know it, you'll be fermenting everything. While canning is my first love, I truly see food preservation as a set of skills that involve canning, fermenting and dehydrating working together. Thanks for saying hello!
I'm making my way through this playlist and love your video. Clearly you put time and effort into this creation and I wanted to say that it shows! Can't wait to make my way through your other vids. New Sub
Hi Laura! Thank you so so much! I’m so thrilled LeAnne asked me to take part and I’m truly sharing my joy to both encourage others (and continue to learn new things myself)! Thanks for saying hello!
Your energy is contagious!!! Way to put the spice into your passion. Showing what your doing with your hard work is mouth watering.
Hi Cindy! Thanks you so much! Yes, I'm convinced that us canners have the secret key to the best tasting food and that popping the lids from our jars include recipes you can only get from someone that is a food preserver! Thanks for stopping by with such encouraging words!
Oh my! Your recipes and videography is off the charts! Love love love!
Thank you so much! I just can't tell you how much canning has changed our meal prep, help stock the pantry, and unlocked meals I could never make without a home pantry. I appreciate that you don't mind my quirks! Thanks for saying hello!
Fantastic video, you are a delightful lady to watch! You have me pumped to try fermented items. Will start me research tonight on how to do this. Hoping I don’t have to buy special jars. Thank you and God bless.
Hi Jackie! Aww, you are too sweet! I appreciate the kind words. It's always nice to meet other canners! I hope you get a chance to try this recipe!
Holy cow- all your recipes look AMAZING!!!!!
Aww, thanks so much! Better yet, they aren't terribly complicated. It's always good to see ya!
Cranberry steak sauce! You won me over! Subscribed. Thank you for such great information, and so organized with the presentation. Glad you participated in sweet LeAnne’s collaboration! Blessings. Have a great day.
Oh my goodness!!!! I loooooove your vlogs! Not only do you have awesome content and I mean AWESOME but you are so upbeat and fun to watch! I'm so thankful I found your channel! I got a lot of catching up to do. :) Blessings!!
Hello (again) Susan! You are just full of compliments! Thank you for joining me in my kitchen and small 'stead in the city!
I love fermented celery too. I make a fermented onion and celery relish that is so good!
I’ve seen some of these recipes in the past and didn’t feel drawn to them, but seeing the way you used them has definitely added them to my list!
I can’t believe Rachel from that 1870s Homestead is not on this collaboration. Great topic and you’re a gem! Thanks for the video!
Hi Beverly! Yes, I loooooove Rachel. I know that she's been part of a lot of collabs recently (including the recent fermenting collab) so maybe scheduling didn't work out. Isn't her basement canning pantry the stuff dreams are made of?!
You are a delight! 😊
Oh, thank you, Granny Herbert!
Just subscribed! Your enthusiasm, delicious recipes and fermenting tips on asparagus sold me on your channel! Am looking forward to checking out all your videos🤗
Hi Linda! You'll LOVE fermented asparagus. There are tons of recipes out there so take your time narrowing down on a few that have flavor combinations you'll likely enjoy. Plus, fermenting is quick and you don't need canning lids. Thanks for stopping by!
I'm so glad I found you. So much valuable content, and plenty of info for the time spent and I REALLY appreciate that. Thank you!!
You are so creative with your canned goods, love your cooking style. You keep us entertained with the way you express yourself, love it!
You inspire me! Wish so much to have your energy and enthusiasm !
This is my first time seeing one of your videos. I love all the yummy food!! You made everything sound extremely delicious
Hello Faith Family Homestead! I think I just saw you pop up on IG too?! Having a home canned pantry has opened up so many meal ideas and that are quick and delish! Thanks for saying hello!!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl that's awesome!! I just started canning this past week but look forward to learning more and trying those fermented asparagus 🤣 as I just planted 200 crowns and will definitely need to keep that in my back pocket when they start growing 😅
When canning sweet potatoes, try using a light syrup or honey. It can be super mild and light, but it does help with the texture, not sure why. And for the cranberries try canning them in orange juice, it makes a marmalade type feel that feels and tastes like cranberry sauce but is awesome year round. I've been canning since I was about 10, so 30 years or so...
Hi Sara! THANK YOU for these tips. I have no shame in admitting that just because I’m on UA-cam doesn’t mean im an expert and I am here to share and learn. Im self taught and I know I don’t know everything. You’ve been canning since you were 10?! What a legacy! I will certainly try both recipes again given your tips! I do appreciate you!!!
I am in love with your channel! Your energy and philosophy is refreshing.
Girl this video was amazing!!! I am so happy I found your channel, you give so much information and so much inspiration I love watching your videos.
Hi Anna! The feeling is mutual! The fact that I now ferment anything that I don’t prefer the canned version of (or am just short on time) is totally because of YOUR videos 🤪
The ping is the song of my people!!!!
I bursted out in laugher when I read this! You are obviously my sister from another Mister! 🥰🤦🏾♀️
You know what would probably be amazing on that orange sandwich, is your cranberry sauce. Sounds so delicious! I live in the land of cranberries and they are in season now, so I might just have to give that sauce a try!
I'm new to your channel......I'm so thankful u showed your jars but added wat u used it on. No one else has done that ty it helped so much
I just watched your video of what you will and will not can again and throughly enjoyed it. I am your newest subscriber and am looking forward to your upcoming vids. Lets hope 2022 will be a much better year than last year although it has started out pretty bad.. Keep on canning and prepping to the rafters and making those videos.. I will be watching.
Oh my gosh!!! Your videos are AMAZING!!! I’m hooked and subscribed!!! So many ideas!!! Love it!! Your so refreshing!!! Thank you and so GLAD I FOUND YOU!!
Yay! Thank you!
When is your book coming out? Seriously. A TV show! Love all your jars of love!
That cranberry steak sauce looks amazing!!
Hi Deb! It truly is! I have the full recipe here on the channel and over on the blog ;) I’m canning can’t hat every year, for sure!
I’m screaming, FRIEND! I have got to can more. My canner is not my best friend yet.🤦🏽♀️ Your dishes and presentations are fabulous! I love the canning tracker. Fermented asparagus.🤯 I will get on that this weekend.😉 Thank you.😊
Hello, lady! Always good to see you! And yes, take the leap and start canning--it’s easier than you think and gets simplistic once you build muscle memory with a few basic steps. Fermented asparagus is so good (embarrassing, I think I repeated this several times, but it’s true!!!)
@@BecomingaFarmGirl my canning memory needs building. I’m new to canning. I’m going to get on it, and create some of the beautiful creations you’ve canned. Thank you for the inspiration. I am for sure going to ferment some asparagus.😊
Great info and enthusiasm, geeeez, now you have me looking into fermenting! I have done a little, so here I go. Thanks!
Your videos are informative and inspiring. I'm getting excited about canning. Having a chest freezer is also an excellent fallback when something cannot easily be canned.
Your meals look delicious. It’s so nice to see young women such as your self preserving your own food. I really enjoyed your video!
I love the meal incorporations! So many great ideas 🤤
Oh my gosh. I though this was an ad and I was like “wow ok I won’t skip this”. You are awesome!
Hi Jennifer! That is too kind of you to say! Thanks for stopping by! The canners in this collab have some amazing ideas!!!
@@BecomingaFarmGirl I know. I’m loving it. I haven’t jumped into canning yet but I feel like I could at any moment. 🧐🤩
Fantastic video and, yes, I subscribed! Going the extra step to show how you use your canned or fermented products took it over the top. Thanks!
Hi Debbie! I'm so glad you found this useful! Canning is such a great way to stock your pantry economically, with the best quality food, catered to your taste. I'll see you around the channel!
I just found your channel and wow, you are my new favorite UA-cam person. I love your enthusiasm!
It's cool knowing we live not to far apart. I'm in zone 7
I've been canning berry jams and apple butter/sauce for years, but I'd never considered any of these things, and honestly the idea of fermenting is completely new to me (I'd thought it was just pickling? clearly not!), so I can't wait to try some of these things out!
So awesome that you show your canned items in use!
Where have you been all my life?!!! Lol I was watching another channel for a zucchini relish recipe and got distracted. Next thing I know your videos were auto running. I LOVE the way you address your viewers and talk like you’re chatting with a friend in your kitchen! I’m subscribed, and now I’m going to plan a binge watch session. Can’t wait to watch your sourdough video. Thank you!!! ❤️
Also love the recommendation of unique recipes! So fun!
Absolutely agree with you on the asparagus. Much better fermented. Love your channel. Will definitely subscribe to see more.
Awesome! Thank you!
Will be researching your cranberry jam. I have cranberries in the freezer that need to be used. Thanks for your participation in this collaboration!!
Found your French onion soup recipe and will be adding it to my “wanna can” list. Came back to edit my comment to let you know and that you have a new subscriber!! Going now to find the cranberry steak sauce. Looking forward to all your videos!
Hi Charlotte! Your frozen cranberries will be excellent for that recipe! And yes, French onion soup is so versatile! I’m so happy to met other Canners! I’m happy to share what I know and learn from your tips and tricks too! Thanks for saying hello!
I absolutely love this video! So helpful! My mouth was watering with all the ways you use your liked canned items! You always take food to the next level! I would eat anything and everything you make! It always looks so delicious!
I am so glad you were a part of this collab. I am a new subscriber!
Hello Faja’s Kitchen! I’ll have to take a peak at your canning recommendations too! Thanks for stopping by!
You bring so much energy and excitement your meals! I'm completely inspired and just have to can that cranberry steak sauce. You really need your own cooking show!
Fermenting celery and asparagus! Brilliant solution. Thank you.
Fermenting those veggies is waaaay better (and faster) than canning. The book, “Fermented Vegetables” is a go-to! Happy Canning!
Thank you for giving alternatives of stuff you wouldn't can. Now I need to go find your fermenting video.
I've watched several of these videos recently and your channel is the first that I've subscribed to. Your content is vastly different, progressive and inspiring. And I'm only 5 minutes into this video, but had to stop to take care of business (like, subscribe, comment). Good job... No back to the video
New here! I really like carrot cake jam ( I add Grand Marnier to mine) and appreciate the bonus recipe ideas. I also appreciate that you ate a piece of asparagus because I prefer lacto fermented to vinegar. 👍
New here. Great video, so nice seeing how you used what you canned. Love the French onion soup ideas. I subscribed!
Awesome! Thank you for stopping by and for the kind words!
You just make me happy! So glad I found you, love your videos.
So happy I found your channel! I love to keep canned sweet potatoes on hand for my sweet potato biscuits, game changer. Happy canning!
Hi Amy! Now THAT sounds amazing. I've gotten a few tips about canning sweet potatoes (someone said I should add a heavier sugar glaze). Sweet potato biscuits?! Yes honey--I need those in my life! So many have convinced me to give them another go! Thanks for saying hello!
Thank you so much for all the recipe ideas with the canned products!!!!! Can’t wait to do them all now!!!!!!❤
I'm loving this video ❤ I've been doing a few basic canning my whole life. My mom canned and that's what i knew. I love the ways you use the canned goods. I've been wanting to try fermenting. I need the journal. I'm thinking I have a new friend.♥️
You are changing my life! Thank you!
