      Hey! How much pickling spice do you use? It looks like a tbsp in the video, but the blog post only shows the celery seed, mustard seed, dry mustard and cloves for spices.

    I absolutely love and appreciate that you take the time to discuss ways to use these foods before diving into the recipe. Thank you so much for your time and dedication * hugs*
    Here I am, smack dab in the middle of zucchini season!...So I made a batch of this using a combination of champagne vinegar and rice vinegar. Miss 11 got up this morning and popped a heaped spoon of this into a portabello mushroom, added some cooked ground beef and super finely diced pepperoni, topped with cheese and she had herself portabello mushroom pizza for breakfast....YUM!

      Hello nerainer ridgeway! Im so happy you find this helpful! It's a question I always had before I'd consider canning something (or more of it) so I started to share a few of the ways I've folded my home canned goods into my meals. YOUR MEAL IDEA SOUNDS AMAZING!!!! I'm already a mushroom fan and I keep dehydrated ground beef on the shelf so I think you just gave me our breakfast idea for this Saturday morning! :)

I thank you for sharing and as always I love your sense of humor!

As Im growing Im confidence on camera because now I can envision names and faces from friends I repeatedly see (like you) more of my personality is coming out and yes, I’m tragically silly!

      @FavorKreations you probably cooked all your zucchinis by now BUT you can also make faux apple pie with zucchini!! Just peel it, dice it and cook it on the stove like you would apple with cinnamon and the like. Then pour it into a pie crust and bake it up! 😊

    My zucchini was a flop this summer. The vine borers got them. Trying again this fall and so far I’ve pulled out 3 vine borers. Man not giving me a break at all. Peppers are going great though! I’ve got red ones and by surprise I’ve got yellows to. Saving them all by chopping them up and freezing. May have to make this if my zucchini will work out this fall.

    • @BecomingaFarmGirl
      @BecomingaFarmGirl  3 роки тому +1

      Hi Amy! Shucks, I’m so sad to hear about your zucchini. You’ve put time, money and effort in you garden but some seasons the pest pressure takes over. If you can still find your zucchini on sale at a grocer of farmers market (and freeze it like your peppers) this is a delicious recipe to make! So good to see you!

    To be sure your homemade vinegar is 5%, you can use a hydrometer to test it. Wine makers use it to determine the wine strength.

    Question for you Cassandra. Towards the end you said that approved canning recipes limit jar size to 1/2 pint or pint jars but I notice you are using what looks like the 4 oz jars for this recipe...is there a different processing time for those? I'm new to canning and have the small batch book on order so I can't look at the recipe yet.

    I have a hard time finding 4oz jars which I use a lot of for condiments. Fortunately, I can go to the commissary at Nellis AFB & find a case or 2 on the shelf when I go. They are the perfect sizes for condiments.

    • @BecomingaFarmGirl
      @BecomingaFarmGirl  3 роки тому +2

      Hi Nancy!! Lovely to see you again! I 100% agree with you on 4 ounce jars being hard to find. After years of canning I’m now just moving some some my inventory into this smaller size, which my family has gifted most of my inventory. I can usually find them during the holiday time. Most of my relishes are in pint sized jars. Go AirForce! (As you know I grew up with an airforce dad and married a Navy guy) commissary all the way!
