I have a PhD in psychology. If Iowa doesn't award you a PhD in homeconomics and child psychology they are dropping the ball! You have life skills that are worth more than gold or silver. Thank you for sharing this with us. Yes, we see and hear God's presence in all you do.
Sir you are absolutely correct! Them young men are putting in work without question! They know work needs to happen so they can survive.
I’m not on board with the god stuff, but her knowledge of gardening, nutrition, food processing, general home keeping, child development, and her kind patience are in a league all its own. She makes the world a better place.
I agree thank you for sharing you the wonderful skills . I know I wanted to try canning so glad I found your family to learn some things for myself
AMEN
I agree 100% !
I save all my apple cores and peelings in a gallon freezer bag in the freezer. When I go to make jam, I grab a handful and wrap it and some cheese cloth, tie it up real good and throw it in the pot with the fruit. It's thickens whatever I'm making naturally. And I don't have to use as much sugar which is a good thing.
I’ve used shredded apple and it works really well too
@@Melissasch1 what a great idea!
That's such a good idea!
I'm going to try that! Thank you!
@@wendyrotchstein98 you're welcome!😊
Mrs. Ruthann I was blessed finding your channel about six months ago. You have a wonderful family and way of life. I've already learned a lot from looking at your previous videos. Now I found myself looking forward for all new ones from you and your wonderful family. Thank you for sharing your hard work and your knowledge and good wholesome homegrown way of life. God bless you!!!
Thank you so much!
Being the oldest of 9 children so much of your way of life brings back so many memories. All 4 of our children are grown with children of their own. My mother’s parents were Mennonites so a lot of what were taught is what you are teaching your beautiful family. Being widowed I live with one son and he loves the recipes of yours that I am making. I would love to have a cow, pigs, and chickens again- which I am working toward! As a Highschool Student my job was to do the milking (4-6) morning and night. Love your bread recipe and so does my son! Thank you. You are a very good teacher! What a shame more women are not teaching their children the same as you! Yes God is so Good!
@@Ruthannzimm I'm so Blessed also for God sending me to your channel. I love watching you, your beautiful family. I'm learning so much from you thank you for sharing! God bless you all❤❤❤
from a very old Englishwoman (82). We now have a much smaller house & garden but when we had acres of soft
and top fruit to deal with I used to boil up cooking apple skins & cores to make a pectin juice to set my jams
& jellies for fruit with low natural pectin. The same would work with red/blackcurrants which set to jelly if
you turned your back for a moment. Also think that what you call ‘canning’ my generation here in the uk would
call ‘bottling’. This afternoon to salt down the runner beans in stoneware crocks - they’ll keep till after Christmas
with luck. Thank you for your messages, I’m new to all this social media, and your life reminds me a little of
mine when I had a young family - and now, thank God, the circle turns again, we now have a new Great Granddaughter, lovely to have a baby in the family again. Very best wishes. Pat Hughes.
❤
Welcome to social media! I love the idea of preserving the beans by salting them down.
I am learning so much from you. Great tip on the tomato pruning. Our first frost date for my area in Utah is the middle of October. I will follow your advice the middle of September to encourage my tomatoes to ripen.
@annehughes9552 Hello from Grandma Linda in Martinsburg WV USA. Welcome to the chat! ❤😊
I am truly enjoying learning the differences in people's terminology, whether in the same country or other countries. Thank you for your comment. I'm 😊😊 happily learning!!! 😊😊😊
What a blessing that your mother and grandmother taught you so much about gardening and preserving your own food, raising your animals, being good stewards of your land. You have a beautiful family.
What a blessed woman you are to have had older seasoned women in your life to learn from.
Ruth Ann thanks so very much for helping me to recall the way my great grandmother b. 1878 and my grandmother b. 1903 made grape 🍇 jam.
I watched my great grandmother make it on her wood stove and seal the jars with hot wax.
When we used a jar, I got to lick. The sweet inside of the wax! I have a few of her ancient jam jars and such wonderful memories.
As I got older, my grandmother allowed me to help. She used wax if she didn’t have lids. We put a metal cap over the wax top after is hardened to keep dust & dirt off wax while jam was stored in the hand dug cellar.
We also made grape juice from her same grapes, te grapes were wild grapes called Fox grapes and came from Crow Creek, Alabama near Stevenson.
Blessings,
Allison 🍁
I think it is safe to say that Kendrick does not think your grapes are too tart…. LOL
Right!!!
Lol I had a good laugh watching him eat so many. It's a wonder she had any to make jelly from!🤣
Kendrick is sharp 😉
He's already learned there's a helper tax paid in the form of produce of the day.
Also get everyone that eats an apple of preps an apple and keep them in the freezer ❤️❤️
I have moved to a house with a variety of fruits and I planted a veggie garden. I then hugely regretted not to have paid more attention to my mothers garden in my Teens. She has now dementia... So I started my search for all the old knowledge and found you. Thank you so much. You somehow bring me back a little piece of my mom... Lots of love from Switzerland ❤
Watching those 4 boys get that cart to the pigs was so precious and should be an award winning photo! You provide such a blessed upbringing❤️
I just have to say this, this woman, looks to me to be in her late 20's but oh my word!!! was totally shocked when I found out that is not the case but my goodness, she is a wealth of information and makes hard work look like a day in the park.....I could watch her all day ..... and many days I almost do...Thank you Ruth Ann you are truly awesome God bless you and your beautiful family...
Totally agree!
I personally love a gas stove, but cleaning the porcelain is much like cleaning your induction top. I use vinegar and baking soda and the “volcanic science experiment” does the work for me as it soaks. I *love* cleaning with those natural elements. I also LOVE watching your videos, every bit, front to back. Like others, I feel like I am spending time with an old friend. Thank you for sharing your lives with all of us. :)
One thing I learned from an elderly Italian lady, was how to bottle/can things like they did before hot water canning; that was to wrap all the freshly caned items into heavy blankets to preserve the heat for 24 hours; you'd be surprised at hot the jars are 24 hours later; I have been doing that with great success
That’s how my Russian grandma did it as well.
What an interesting useful tip. I had never heard of that method before.
I love that you end your videos with God is Good. I find myself saying it out loud in affirmation.
Yes GOD IS GOOD 🙏 SHALOM ALEIJEM 🙏 🕎 🇺🇲 🇮🇱 🇲🇽🇨🇦🇺🇦✡️❤️🎁😴✝️🌺🌹💕🙋🏻♀️
Team work makes the dream work.
I think your son eat as much grapes as you pick and put in the pot 😅 I love that all your kids help with chores that’s the way all families should be ❤
I remember we would go pick strawberries in a farmer's field. We 3 kids ate our weight in strawberries; come out with faces covered in strawberry juice.
No wonder farm boys are so strong. Good job Mom. I’m so impressed with you and your family. So much love goes and everything each one of you guys. I love it. Blessings to you and your beautiful family.
I just love you to pieces! I learn so much from your videos and watching you with your children and the way you're raising them makes me love and admire you even more!
This is so very true. She is patient, loving, great teacher, and so much more. I so look forward to the next video. ❤
Yes I too love your channel. Today’s visit came at a perfect time for me. ❤❤❤
I was going to say the same thing. I thoroughly enjoy your videos. I always learn something (or several things).
Seeing your son loving on the cows warmed my heart something fierce. He was so sweet and gentle and the cows were loving the attention. I’m always blessed when I see your videos. God Bless You and your family.
I love how Kendrick is always your taste tester!!!!😂😂
Love the "refined palate" When my kids were young I made all our jams. Now that they are old they'd like all their jams to be homemade. Now they appreciate all the love and work that goes into this.
The little friend saying, “that’s how you fix a bike” was adorable !
I just love you life ❤
Blessings
Your videos are the most uplift shows on all media. Keep up the wonderful work and God Bless you and your family. The world needs more people like you.
99.9% of whatyou say is very important. If l missed something you said l go back and listen again. Such worthwhile information. Thank you so much.
Glad it was helpful!
Dear RuthAnne, I just love your energy. Your family is so blessed to have the life you and your husband have been able to provide.
I love my colander/foodmill too! What a blessing it is when canning. Lots of love from Grandma Linda in Martinsburg WV.💛🧡🎵💖🤗🙏🙏🙏 Plus, your tips on hot packing, and no need to hot water bath! Oh what a relief from extra time and work! Thank you, Thank you!
One of my favorite parts was your little boy coming to steal grapes as you worked. My kids too that, too.
How precious to watch your children take that corn to some very happy hogs! And then petting the calves! Oh! All these videos are more than gold! You’ll have them to hand down to your children & they can to theirs. Thank you for the lesson on that technique with the mill! I didn’t know that you had to rotate counter clockwise!
I just love seeing the boys. The little "guest boy" was adorable, too, with his cowboy hat! Be blessed and keep doing what you're doing! We love your family!
Thank you for the colander tip. I’m 73 and didn’t know that and so rarely use mine. Thank you so much for all your kind knowledge ❤.
I just bought a pressure canner and am going to start trying that 🎉.
Filling the water bath canner up to the shoulder of the jar only was an eye opener for me. I boiled my peaches covered with water for 30 minutes 😢(too long) and was worried because the water had boiled down to the top of the jar. Now I’m not afraid to eat them. (I’m just learning canning.) Thank you for that, also.
I was raised on a farm in North Central Illinois not so far from you. Your speech patterns are very Midwestern and it takes me right back to my childhood surrounded by ponies, cows, pigs, ducks, dogs, and cats.
I’m going to try the hamburger bun recipe.
What a terrific job you do with the kids. You are so kind and helpful.
Seems like picking all the grapes off the stems is a perfect job for the children to sit around the table and do so that it is done in 15 minutes. Many hands make for light work. Canning days are long as it is
Loved this video! I bet not many children have ever been asked if their "machete's" were dull! Beautiful family!
your children are so lucky to have you.
oh my goodness, that is THE BEST HAT EVER!!♥
Good lifestyle still 1900 to date. Links with natures, simple, Agriculture growing vegetables 🌿 fruits, crops, grains .
The segment of your son with the baby calves was just precious!❤ So beautiful, love it! Different from my world and love to see that connection. I’m new to your channel and enjoying it very much!
I love how end every video with "God is good!" He definitely is good always no matter what!
I knew I was forgetting something
Oh man! The place we lived on when I was a teenager, the farmer had a Scottish highlander cow in his herd.
The history being shared is a gem...
What's the difference between Jams, Jellies, Preserves, Spreads, and Butters?
Farmer Tad often gets asked "What's the difference between all of these fruits in a jar? What works well on toast? What would I like best?"
Jelly: Jelly is made with strained fruit juice. There are no pieces of fruit in jelly.
Jam: Jam is made with mashed fruit.
Preserves: Preserves have whole fruit or large pieces of fruit. Some fruits such as blackberries or raspberries will not stay whole during the processing so there may not be much difference between raspberry jam and raspberry preserve.
Fruit spreads (only fruit): These are 100% fruit with no sugar added. If needed, a sweet fruit juice such as white grape juice or apple juice may be added. Because of the sugar in the fruit we cannot call these products sugarless. These spreads offer the most amount of pure fruit flavor.
Butters: Butters are made from pureed fruit. They are not as sweet as preserves, jams, or jellies but offer a full fruit flavor. Butters are cooked for over 6 hours ,at a low temperature, allowing the product to thicken. Butters tend to be dark because of the exposure to air during the cooking.
Hadassah, that's one very pretty bouquet. 😊😊
Thank you for the videos:)! I just canned around 120 quarts, put up 11 gallons of fried okra and did around 50 pints of apple butter, apple jelly and beauty berry jelly and butter this last week:)! Your videos are such an inspiration and very helpful even though I have canned I have learned so much that really helps me get the job done. I am not as healthy as I used to be so getting things done easily is very important to me now more than ever. I appreciate the work I know you put into these, but people need to know. I only spent just under $150, counting the pectin I bought at the local Mennonite bakery and lids and I now have jars of squash, green beans, tomato juice, spaghetti sauce, chili, bell peppers, frozen okra, apple vinegar going on the counter and jellies. I am going to be doing dried beans some plain, some chilli and some like your pork and beans this week and anything else I run across before winter hits here in Alabama. It is coming. I also plan on doing the 🎃 pumpkin:)! I watched your video on that and loved it! I am doing the sour dough starter on the counter now and made waffles from the extra starter this morning:). I am counting the days until I get to make your bread:)!!! (Put the jelly on it)! I wasn't well this summer, but the second I felt a bit better I was wanting to get the canner out. We were getting so low on everything. Maybe next year I can get going sooner. I missed the elderberries, maybe next year. Lol. I also want to try the potatoes the way you canned yours. I have been using your method of filling to the neck. Things I know may expand and I haven't had one jar leak thanks for that tip) and all my jars sealed. I did have 3 jars break at the bottom, but they had been moved and not very gently so I really wasn't surprised by that. Also, I managed to buy 2 big lots of jars second hand a year or two ago and some of them I had not used before so next year these will probably all have been used, no hairline cracks or anything from getting bounced around. These are now going back on the shelves after being used. Sorry this was a 📙 book.
I am so grateful to have found your channel. You are such a blessing.
I've been cooking and baking since the age of 12 (I earned myself a cooking curfew because my parents would eat everything) and I do that very well, except jam. I tried it once when I was young and had exactly that experience that it never set (great ice cream topping, though) and I just stopped after that. Now that I'm decades older with much more cooking experience, your initial comments are a face palm moment. Of course! Cook id down like a reduction!
Wish I'd made the connection sooner 🙄.
PS: the little assistant fingers making more trips to the mouth than the pot are very cute!
I for one love watching your videos and so wish I was fifty years younger because I would move to your area of this beautiful country…
Kendrick is so funny. One for the pot, one for him or teo or three...lol
Its like watching my childhood. Brings a tear to my eyes. I wouldn't trade my childhood with my old order Amish family friends for anything in this world
Hope this helps.
Jelly: Jelly is made with strained fruit juice. There are no pieces of fruit in jelly. Jam: Jam is made with mashed fruit. Preserves: Preserves have whole fruit or large pieces of fruit.
I just added the turning "collander" to my Amazon cart for Christmas to support your channel @Homesteading with the Zimmerman's. I have wanted one for a while
My definition of jelly is made from juice, jam is what you are making and preserves have actual pieces of fruit in it.
We have some wild berries but would like some privacy berry bushes along the road. So happy to hear they can produce for 50 years ❤❤❤
Pretty bouquet that your daughter brought to you, thoughtful of her ♥️✝️🇺🇸
My mum did the same no pectin. My dad loved his jam very well done. He called modern jams sauce. Funny one batch was so well done it was more like toffee. Best jam My dad said.
Yes !! God is so good to us !❤️
Thankyou so much for all of your knowledge and sharing with us. I perfer to make all my jellies and jams. Now I can do it without surejell. I appreciate you so much. I Thank the Lord that I found you
When I make jelly and it doesn't set up I just use it as syrup 🤣. Good on pancakes.
We did the wax back in 60's. Also jars were heated and rims were rubber. Jars are awesome now😂
For added natural pectin, you can also boil apple skins with the grapes when you cook the grapes. You'll still get the grape flavor. Apple peels are full of pectin.
Omg, I seen this video in my feed for a while now and thought it would require a ton of sugar to make. I'm so glad I decided to watch it, thank you for sharing this information 😊❤
Ruthann.........I love love love seeing your family work together. Your boys make me smile and your daughter is precious too. I love to see how you do your processing the Natural way. You are wonderful. Thanks so much for your great videos.
RuthAnn!!! I just found your channel yesterday & I’ve been binging trying my best to watch all your blogs. Thank You So Much for sharing your wisdom & your beautiful family🌿🪅🪴Blessings to you from Portland, Oregon💕🙏🏼💕
Crab apples have a bodacious amount of pectin. So, if you’re saving peels and cores, try crab apples.
Kendrick is a great helper. 🤣🤣🤣
5 youngest? I'm really new too your channel but have only seen 3 little boys and a teen girl. I thought that was all. How many blessings do you have? I always wanted 10 or 12 blessings but was only blessed with a set of twins. My admirations goes out to you.
I enjoyed this video so so much! It reminded me of being in my grandmas kitchen when she'd naked grape jelly and I would help her. The smells.....ohhh the wonderful smells! I remember she would use Sure Jel when she made her jelly/jam.. Such fond memories that are so dear to my heart. I am now 65 and was blessed to have my grandma until I was 44. Thank you for this walk down memory lane. ❤️
Thank you for this video, Ruth Ann. I want to get more into preserving various foods, and now I know I can can up my home-made jams, jellies, and preserves without having to water bath them. I can only find that jelly is without any seeds or pulp at all, jam is with pulp mashed up, and preserves are with large chunks of fruit intact. But it also said that some preserves and jams were very similar! We have a food mill like yours, and I love making applesauce in it. I found out by doing that about turning it the opposite way now and then, and you're right, that is the key to it working well without clogging up.
I started pruning my tomatoes a few years ago, and most of all, keeping the lower branches off the ground and getting suckers off (the little branches that grow between the main stalk and a horizontal branch, kind of a 45 degree angle), and I've started getting sooo many more tomatoes than I ever got before! I'm sure it's from the pruning, and what you're saying makes so much sense. Thanks again for your video.
Can you please share how you make and preserve your grape juice? Thanks for inspiring me! I love to see your kids enjoy time with you in the kitchen/outside harvesting, cooking and preserving😍
Oh my goodness that tomato pruning advice is awesome. Thank you so much for all your inspiration and all you do Ruthann and family.
I use pectin in my jams, I mostly make freezer jam because I like the fresher taste. I use the kind for lower sugar. I can see the benefit of canned jams, especially grape. I think most fruits wouldn’t do as well being cooked so long. I like that you are showing the older ways of doing things and I’m sure your family loves your homemade jams! That’s a good idea to prune your tomato plants to encourage the tomatoes to ripen. I can’t do that because I live in a high desert. The sun is too strong and the tomatoes would be sunburned, they need the leaves to shade them. You are such a great mom! Teaching the kids to work to help the family is very important.
I’ve never heard to prune tomatoes this way before but it makes perfect sense! I’m eager to try doing it and see how well they do. Thanks for sharing :)
I loved watching Kendrick eating the grapes as fast as he could pick them off the stem! That was me when I was a girl in my grandmother’s kitchen! For what it’s worth she would include unripe fruit with the ripe to provide additional pectin to make sure her jams and jellies would gel. My mother on the other hand would use her candy thermometer to cook those items to the “jelly phase” which would accomplish pretty much the same thing. 😁
Just wow! Makes my heart happy and hopeful. Thank you.
That's exactly right - I didn't know to back it up - somewhere 20-30 years ago I threw it away - - -how very sad
We had triple digits for 4 months in Central Texas,so no garden veggies for us for two years straight. No rain till two weeks ago, so everything was deep fried. Thank God we are due rain & much cooler temps tomorrow & Friday Oct 5 & 6, 2023. Lived here all my 75 years & never had such a horrible summer two years in a row. Love your lush homestead & how hard your family works it & enjoys their rural life. Thanks for sharing so much common sense information. God Bless!
Jelly = no pieces of fruit
Jam = mashed fruit
Preserves = whole or large chunks of fruit
I was always taught that pectin was an acid. It's in all fruits but in different levels. I steam juice my crabapples to can as juice to add to my lower-level pectin fruits because the crabapples are super high in pectin. Blackberries are another really high-pectin fruit, but I don't often mix my blackberry juice with other fruits as that flavor overpowers many other fruits. Thankfully, blackberry jam is my husband's absolute favorite!
I LOVE to just can my grape juice until winter (and other fruit juices) and make my jellies and jams then! That helps me heat our home in the winter and add some moisture into our very dry winter air then also.
Just found you yesterday and thank you for your authentic, honest content!!
Giggle...it's a race to get the grapes in the pan before the boys eat them all!
As long as it tastes good, I bet the kids don't care if you call it jam, jelly, or preserves, they'll just call it yummy. :)
Jelly- looks like jello. Made with juice.
Jam- is thick, like cold congealed gravy. No chunks of fruit.
Preserves- are basically jam that still has chunks of fruit.
I feel so blessed when I can watch a new video with my morning coffee ❤❤❤
I prune tomatoes that way too. (Central Iowa) This allows for good air flow and lets the sun in. My neighbor thought I was crazy, but he also thought onions grew on trees!
Ruthann… I love watching your channel so much, I feel like we’re old friends 🥰
Love that!
You are so motivating! I love to watch your videos and find myself trying to find more to do around my home each day. You are building my confidence with canning and I hope to try a small batch of tomatoes this week. We need more people like you sharing their knowledge and life skills! Thank you so much for what you do!!
Jelly is made with strained fruit juice (no pieces of fruit). Jam is made with mashed fruit. Preserves have whole fruit or large pieces of fruit. So you made Jam it seems.
I rarely make jelly from pure laziness. But i adore making jams. The method that works for me is low sugar pectin with the minimum of sugar added. It's delicious.
My grandmother told me they used a handful of unripe fruit for pectin. She always had great jams and jellies
Thanks again for another great video full of useful information. And them children are developing a great work ethic!
I now can make Grape Jam, thanks to you! My neighbor gifted me with Concord grapes! I now am going to ask for a propagation starter! It is October 1st, and in Iowa this morning, we are harvesting our last tomato harvest and making salsa! ( also watched you make yours for learning tool)
You can invert the jars for 5 minutes after filling them, then turn them back upright and they should seal.
When i 'hot packed' i was taught to flip the jar upside down for a while, then right side up to seal.
I agree with all the positive comments here!
RUTHANN,
My name is ROSE LEE ANN. Everyone always says RUTHANN. Anyway I love you pages. I want to learn to sew my own clothes. I'm retired n nothing to do. Well I take care of homeless KITTYS by feeding them. Sometimes we don't get but the KITTYS do. I don't vacation go nowhere do nothing the KITTYS get to eat is my gift. Some people do other things but I believe GOD wants me to do this. He knows the KITTYS will give me 💕. They are GODS precious KITTYS. I got COVID 28 day, by day 13 I thought I'm gonna die , I Layed in my bed and thought it's over I was suffering so bad. Day 13 I went to the ERoom and they said I had pneumonia in my right lung I could feel it like glue I patted my back where lungs are to break up the stuff. My kitties were at the door they knew they couldn't come in. But I begged GOD to let me live for them they are all I have. Everyday I was so sick I don't know how I made it. I could feel my body attacking me literally fighting inside. Day 28 came it just lifted. Id say it was a bad spirit it knew it couldn't win because no matter how sick I called on God day 28 it was gone. One of my rescue KITTYS found on side of mountain it fell on the street I pulled over picked kitty up he fit under my neck so small. In ten minutes it flooded the streets n ditches were full of water. But my kitty was safe. I named him Stormy. So I think God gave them to me so id have someone to love me. It helped us both. As a child I was always try to help any homeless animals. Anyway sorry for the rant. . But I was trying to say I turn my tablet on and it's a new page of Zimmermans. But I want to learn to sew but I love to listen to your stories and see the kids so happy. The day you were prepping grapes an Kendrick came in to get more grapes the kids are so happy every child should have this life. I think you need a few more. Some one needs to help run the farm . You n your husband are amazing people. And a beautiful family. Living in the city poor is not a nice place for kids are families it's very sad what goes on . If I told you some places you couldn't walk bc you might get jumped it's true. Kids rarely finish the seventh grade. Loli always wanted to can but scared. I bought everything but figured I'd make someone sick. I'm a hands on that's how I learn. Reading a book is hard. I have to have someone show me. Now I watched how you prepped the grapes and know exactly how to do it I just may try.
For decades I have bought several cast iron frying pans I couldn't season it to save my life. Now I know exactly. Because your hubby showed us. He sanded down three different sanding pads and after cleaned n dry then applied talo turn off heated oven turn pan upside down and wala you got a perfectly seasoned pot. When I'm ready I will buy from your Page the ones who sponsored you. I'm so happy you finally got sponsored. ALOT more should be doing it.
Your page videos everything you teach is so detailed perfectly . Not one other that I have seen teaches as good as you . I have learned so much in a short time. I need the pot with a heavy bottom see I'm learning. Ok I apologize for talking so long I just want to show my appreciation. And how much you taught it's priceless. And everything you learned is from your Grandmother so we know we got it right.
To pectin are not to pectin lolol I say NOT.
Sorry I hope you can understand my writing is. Not good. Have a BLESSED WEEKEND
I will try pruning my tomatoes next month since my frost date is a month after yours here in Missouri. I am 74 years old but have learned a lot since I found your channel recently!
This SE Mo girl (73) agrees with you!! Were from the Show Me State and love to be shown how to do things!! LOVE this Channel.
Thank you for showing pruning your tomatoes. That makes total sense and I am going to implement it this year!💕
Put the grapes into the freezer and freeze them for over night and defrost them and make your jam jelly preserves ect. It will bring up the sugar content ..
Grapes sweeten better from frost.
Thank you for providing such informative and enjoyable vlogs. I especially relate to the boil over of grape jelly and the clean up. My product of choice that is the only thing I've ever seen work on ceramic cooktops without scratching and getting it to look like new again, is Bar Keepers friend. I swear by the stuff and have used it for over 30 years.
I was actually thought how to make jam with no pectin at the beginning, it was by a lovely Mennonite family from our church. I really enjoy your channel, you explain things in such a way that it is easy to understand why you do it the way you do. I’m a very practical person and I appreciate how you don’t waste anything. Thank you for another informative video. God bless you and your family. 😄
You are so sweet, I love listening to you speak. I love your demeanor.
You are such a great teacher. You are a write a book ❤️
Yes God is good. Thank you😊
I love your videos and catch myself binge watching one after another! Thank you ❤
The boys were so cute transporting the corn to the pigs. They are hard workers!
I live in southern Spain and can’t wait to try this with the local grapes!
