Just finished 12 pints of carrots! I used brown sugar and orange juice as my liquid for caramelized carrots. Thanksgiving is coming up and my Mom made them that way. Thank you so much for your tutorial. ❤️✝️
Watching your instructional video before I pressure can some of our garden, fresh picked carrots. Might wait till tomorrow, I’ve canned chicken, chicken broth and ground beef already today. I’m tired. Thank You for the video and may God bless you and your family.
Wow! What a nice bucket of home grown carrots. You did a wonderful job showing how to pressure can carrots. Your step by step method was flawless and a great joy to watch and learn. I look forward to viewing any canning videos you produce for our watching pleasure. Thank a million.
I'm experienced at canning, and this video was instructive and accurate. I would add, if someone is going to purchase a Presto canner, I'd recommend it's one with a dial gauge that clearly shows the pressure.
Interesting, as I've reached the point, the gauge may be a nice to have but isn't really needed, if your Presto canner has the adjustable regulator and/or you convert the standard 15 lb version. I have 2 Presto dial gauge canners that came with the standard 15 lb regulator. One purchased in 1972 and the other in the mid 1990's. Both of these are the large, double stack pints versions. I wanted something smaller for smaller batches. Recently bought the Presto 16 quart, with adjustable regulator, without the dial. I don't miss the dial. Currently, I'm processing 8 pints of carrots. Yes, I'm canning carrots. :-) Sitting here, in the den, at my computer within sight and sound of my canner, waiting for it to reach 11 lb pressure. I don't have to stay at the canner and babysit the dial because I can't read it from the den. The regulator is set for 10 lbs. It takes 11 lb pressure to move the 10 lb weight. So, when the regulator starts to giggle (rock) I know it's time to start the timer and turn down the heat. Dial gauges are supposed to be tested annually for accuracy. If they don't register the correct pressure, they should be replaced. Every year that passes it becomes harder and harder to find someone to test. Many county extension services who use to test them for home canners have stopped. Unless damaged, a metal weight is more likely to remain accurate than a dial regulator, for a number of reasons. FWIW... I've used the adjustable pressure regulator to test the dial gauges on my 2 older canners enough to know, that I don't need to see the number on a dial to safely and properly use my canners. Providing I have the appropriate adjustable weight (regulator). On the Presto that I use the most, the pressure is at 11.5 lbs per the gauge, when the regulator begins to rock. Meaning the dial on this one is about 1/2 lb off. Just a bit of a difference of an opinion from someone who has been canning for a lifetime. An ACCURATE dial gauge is nice to have, but isn't really a necessity, unless, perhaps living at an altitude between 1,000 ft and 8,000 ft and want to be very precise.
Thank you for this! This was the first year we successfully had carrots grow! We planted a bunch just because we usually fail so we were trying to just get SOME.. well, now we have more than enough so I am so excited to can them!
+nms886 Danny had been canning on this stove for 6 or 7 years. Just be careful to not drop anything on it. The canner is heavy. That is the key. Thanks
Wanda, I grew up canning with my Mother, so I Still Lots Of THINGS THE Way she did. One thing I learned in later years, when we open a jar of any food to eat, we wash the empty jar, the flat piece and the ring. When dry, the flat piece is put upside down on the jar and screw the band on. Next use of the jar, yes it is dusty on the outside and all get washed in hot soapy water, but the inside of the jar is still clean. We don't use our flat pieces a second time but I have heard several ladies say if they don't look bent from opening, they reuse them. I just don't trust them and don't want to lose a precious jar. Love to watch your dideos and your dazeys videos to.
Thank you for the video. I'm going to start canning next year, because I'm tired of wasting food that I've worked so hard in the garden all year. The wife and I can only eat so much, and we give a lot away to our family and neighbors, and still have a lot left over, with my 8 gardens. Going to subscribe to your channel. Thank you again.
NICE JOB I HAVE A BIG FAMILY AND LAST SUMMER WE DID 44 QUARTS AND 16 PINTS OF CARROTS THE PINTS WE USE FOR SOUPS STEWS STIR FRYS THE QUARTS ARE SERVED FOR MEALS THERE ARE 10 OF US THATS WHY I USED QUARTS.
I taught myself how to can last season. Any tutorial you and Wanda can provide is well appreciated. Do ya'll can meat if so I'd be interested in watching. Thanks
Wow Danny. That's a lot of carrots. Yummmy. I like to pickle a batch too. I make them more like long peeling shreds, using Ball recipe for misc pickling or garden rummage. They're awesome in a kale slaw or as salad topping. I just put themin jelly jars, since a little goes a long way.
Thank you for explaining about the sound the weight makes. I tried to can meatloaf yesterday but my temp was too high and I ran out of water in the canner. I will try again.
Following for quite a while. Enjoying high tunnel an pounds progress. I'm a canner as well. Noticed y'all didn't peel. Is it necessary to peel root crops, getting mixed signals on this topic. Thanks y'all. GOD BLESS
I canned some carrots and 2 lids has a slight buckle in them. I checked and they Are sealed, no liquid coming out. Should I just freeze them or do you think they are ok to put in the pantry, or just eat them. Thamks
Beautiful. Wondering if you have ever tried "tattler" reusable canning lids. I have been using mine since 2009 and love them. They are a bit of an investment but well worth the money. I kinda miss the little "tink" medal lids give though. Great video.
Great explanation on the canning. Do you leave the rings on when you put them in the cellar? I am going to do a lot more companion planting in the garden this year, do you companion plant? You could throw in some more carrot seeds with the tomatoes. Take care, awesome video. Cheers!!
+Joshua Smith We take the rings off the next day. We learned the hard way to take them off. If left on many times they will get stuck and you cant get them off. We do companion planting a lot.Its how we control insects.
+Studio3sixteen Great, but be warned, once you get started you will be addicted. You will want to can everything. LOL We really love canning and do can nearly everything during the producing season. Watch for our adult applesauce coming out next week. Thanks.
Salt does not expire. As long as it is kept dry and clean, shelf life is indefinite. Any salt that doesn't have additives to prevent it from caking can be used. I prefer to use canning salt, as I know what I'm getting. Fine grain Kosher salt is an alternative for "canning salt".
I canned my first ever carrots using your video as a guide! Thank you for such an educational video. Do you know why I would lose liquid in one jar? The liquid is about half what it was before I canned it.
That 1 jar possibly siphoned which is not anything to worry about! As long as the jar is sealed you are good! One thing you need to remember is to check your jars periodically especially if you leave the bands on them because you will not know if you have a false seal or not! Best thing after they have cooled off within 24 hours take the bands off wash your jars dry well and leVe bands off
Great video, I have always been intimidated by pressure cooker’s. I really want to can my veggies this year! Can I ask what type of pressure cooker you have?
Do one have to use a pressure cooker...? I have a regular big stewpot for slow cooked meals... maybe around 25 liter... would that work or you recommend purchasing a pressure cooker?
Caroline Södergren - to answer your question, no you cannot use your pot. For canning you need a pressure canner following the manufacturer's instructions regarding the actual a,pint of water needed in the canner.
Any reason not to heat up the lids and rings in the canner while it's heating up? I did that the last few times and it saved space and energy heating up another pot on the stove.
+steelhorses2004 Yes, you can do that. We found out that they have changed the process for the lids. If you go to the website for your lids, it will tell you not to boil the lids. It just suggests lukewarm water. We get ours in hot water on a low heat on the stove. Check out the brand you buy to see if they have suggestions that differ from the way things used to be done. The package does not tell you this, only on the website. Thanks hope this helps
I hate to bother you with this question but I’m getting mixed answers online, and can’t find it on the presto sight... What’s the minimum pints you can can in the presto? Should I fill space with jars of water without lids? Thanks guys
Our Presto will hold 9 regular pints or 8 wide mouth pints or 7 quarts. If you don't have enough to fill it, just can what you have. No need to fill the spaces unless you want to. Remember, squash, green beans, potatoes and english peas all can at 40 minutes for quarts and 35 for pints. You can put any of these in jars and can at the same time. I had some english peas, some jars of green beans, some of squash and 1 potato.
+jacki comber Yes, they can be put in jars. Check a Ball Canning Book for how to and how long to process. Thanks. We canned tender greens last year. Great way to have a supply during the hot months when they won't grow.
With a Rada peeler. The Rada out performs all peelers we have found so far. amzn.to/2Dm7rfv Best deal 2 for $15 You won't regret the purchase when peeling potatoes and carrots.
Charlene Quinilty We dont peel the carrots we grow but we do scrape them to get any roots off. Iwould peel store bought carrots because they are treated. Thanks
Just finished 12 pints of carrots! I used brown sugar and orange juice as my liquid for caramelized carrots. Thanksgiving is coming up and my Mom made them that way. Thank you so much for your tutorial. ❤️✝️
Thank you, very informative and easy to follow. I’m in Texas , so Deep South caught my eye.
Watching your instructional video before I pressure can some of our garden, fresh picked carrots. Might wait till tomorrow, I’ve canned chicken, chicken broth and ground beef already today. I’m tired.
Thank You for the video and may God bless you and your family.
Thanks. Bunch for taking the time to go step by step.I grew up in a city and have really nobody to teach me stuff like this, so I truly appreciate it
Best video for beginners out there! Thank you for sharing.
Finally, no more carrots going bad in the fridge. Can't wait to grow my own. I enjoy all of your videos, especially the canning ones. Thanks!

Thanks, excellent class canning carrot tomorrow. Just got your book on Carrots.
Thank you for this! This was the first year we successfully had carrots grow! We planted a bunch just because we usually fail so we were trying to just get SOME.. well, now we have more than enough so I am so excited to can them!
Looks good Danny and Wanda. I did carrots today.
I wasn't pressure canning because all the canner's said not to use on glass top stoves! This is great that you proved that you can!
+nms886 Danny had been canning on this stove for 6 or 7 years. Just be careful to not drop anything on it. The canner is heavy. That is the key. Thanks
+nms886 I also can with the same canner(Presto-16 qt) 0n my glasstop for the last 6 years with no trouble. Just like Danny said have to be gentle.
Wanda, I grew up canning with my Mother, so I Still Lots Of THINGS THE Way she did.

I’m going to buy organic carrots from the store to can because mine didn’t do too well this year. Thanks Danny & Wanda!
Very helpful step by step process. Thank you so much. I just put up 12 pints of carrots as I replayed your video. 🙂
Thank you for keeping it simple! Love it ❤️

+IRONDAWG63 I can understand with that many mouths to feed.
By far the best canning video I have ever seen
Beautiful canning session!
+Linda's Pantry Thanks Linda we do a lot of canning here on our homestead.Its how we survive
I taught myself how to can last season. Any tutorial you and Wanda can provide is well appreciated. Do ya'll can meat if so I'd be interested in watching. Thanks
+MJ_Preparer Namaste Yes, we plan on doing some meat in the future. We have a variety of canning videos to make this year. Thanks for watching.
Lovely! I like the way you patted the bottoms of the jars to settle the contents. Great- looking carrots, too.
+Jeanette Waverly And they were so tender winter carrots are a lot sweeter than summer carrots.
How refreshing to see a man canning lol.
I really enjoyed this. Very well explained. Thanks and God Bless.
+Lynnette Prince Thank you for watching. God bless
Getting back into canning and this helped very much. Enjoyed the growing and harvesting carrots videos too!
Thanks hope to make many more this year.
Thanks for all the great info on canning it will be very helpful.
Have a great day
I'm doing my 11 pints right along with you brother. Thanks!
I'm looking forward to integrating canning into our routine here this spring! Thanks for sharing!
+TheOldLookOutLodge Canning will save you so much on your food bill. You will be glad you did.
Thank you for explaining this! We are hoping to can during this pandemic and this is incredibly valuable knowledge. Thank you so much for helping!
i grew that variety in containers in my greenhouse, i thought they did really well and will plant them again.
+OkieRob They do very well here
Wow Danny. That's a lot of carrots. Yummmy. I like to pickle a batch too. I make them more like long peeling shreds, using Ball recipe for misc pickling or garden rummage. They're awesome in a kale slaw or as salad topping. I just put themin jelly jars, since a little goes a long way.

carrots are the most beautiful when canned, and I really think it makes them even sweeter.
The carrots we plant in the fall and harvest in the spring are sweeter. They just taste great when canned. Thanks
Try the jarred carrots with honey and salted butter. Trust me!
Great video....Hope you will share more videos on canning other vegetables....Thanks!
+Michael Wood We plan to show canning all our veggies this summer. Thanks
Y’alls videos are fantastic!
Good simple process. Enjoyed it.
+Cultivating Organic by Jo & Mig Canning is easy. Glad you enjoyed it.
I like my cooking rustic and food preserving simple.
Great video we love your videos GOD BLESS👍🙏❤️
Those are some nice looking carrots :)
+Living Weird Thanks
beautiful canning
Perfect!!!! Exactly what I needed. Thanx!
Thanks for watching.
Wow 9 jars that's awesome!
+Billy Branch Homestead Blessings We try to do at least 40 a year. So it gives us a years supply.
Love Danvers!
+Live Life Simple One of our favorites.
Thank you for explaining about the sound the weight makes. I tried to can meatloaf yesterday but my temp was too high and I ran out of water in the canner. I will try again.
Do you peel your carrots or leave with skin on?
Thank you so much for the videos. I learned a lot from watching them. Can I use himalaya salt for canning carrots?
looking good keep up the good work!
+Mark Thieme They were so tender Mark hard to not start eating them.
Thank you for this video
No de-bubbling for cut up carrots? I’m a new canner, so I don’t know. Those are some beautiful carrots! I think everything has to be de-bubbled..
To be Canning Correct, debubble everything,
I will do that. thanks
This was great, thanks so much!
Following for quite a while. Enjoying high tunnel an pounds progress. I'm a canner as well. Noticed y'all didn't peel. Is it necessary to peel root crops, getting mixed signals on this topic. Thanks y'all. GOD BLESS

I'm brand new to canning. Your video has inspired me to attempt canning carrots.

Thank you so much
Very informative video. Can you use Kosher salt in replacement of basic or canning salt? And if not about how long does canning salt last for?
Salt does not expire. As long as it is kept dry and clean, shelf life is indefinite. Any salt that doesn't have additives to prevent it from caking can be used. I prefer to use canning salt, as I know what I'm getting. Fine grain Kosher salt is an alternative for "canning salt".
Should you use lemon juice or apple cider vinegar to help with acidity ?
I canned my first ever carrots using your video as a guide! Thank you for such an educational video. Do you know why I would lose liquid in one jar? The liquid is about half what it was before I canned it.

Great video, I have always been intimidated by pressure cooker’s. I really want to can my veggies this year! Can I ask what type of pressure cooker you have?
It is a presto. Not expensive but it has worked well for many years. We just bought a new gasket. Thanks and good luck.

Just watch this video on canning carrots. Do you know how long to can them for quarts?We just got our carrots fresh dug and I'm ready to can. 😁
Quarts are 30 minutes with 10 pounds of pressure. Thanks

perfect
how long can you safely store and eat your canned carrots? Thanks so much :)
I believe my grandma said around 12 years
just wondering if you can can turnips? I'm new to canning lol!
+jacki comber Yes, they can be put in jars. Check a Ball Canning Book for how to and how long to process. Thanks. We canned tender greens last year. Great way to have a supply during the hot months when they won't grow.
Just wondering why you don't de bubble
Do you have to peel them?
With a Rada peeler. The Rada out performs all peelers we have found so far. amzn.to/2Dm7rfv Best deal 2 for $15 You won't regret the purchase when peeling potatoes and carrots.
can they be processed without a pressure canner?...I don't have one yet
Albany Mountain homestead No you have to use a pressure canner to be safe.Thanks
Can you water bath carrots... Do have pressure cooker.
Diana Williams-Coe No you cannot water bath carrots they must be pressure canned.
i didn't see you check for bubbles?
Do you not debubble?
ok so I didn't hear weather or not you peeled your carrots.
We don't peel the carrots we grow, but we scrape them to remove the root hairs on them. Thanks
do you peel the carrots
Charlene Quinilty We dont peel the carrots we grow but we do scrape them to get any roots off. Iwould peel store bought carrots because they are treated. Thanks
Did you use distilled water inside the jar?
+Star Bright No, we have a well and we used that water. It was boiled before we added it to the jar. Thanks
I noticed you did not debubble...
what altitude?
350 ft about sea level. Thanks
Do you date your canned carrots? Don't you have to scald your jars before you can? I know you washed them in hot watrer.
The water in the back of the stove is boiling water. Each jar is in the boiling water before use.
I am a experienced canner, and noticed that you didn't debubble
your jars. But a good video otherwise.
No Sea Salt is iodized.
You forgot to debubble
thank you very much
Did you peel the carrots?
