Have you seen those videos of goods that have meat in them that last 1 year, such as bacon or pork belly, beef, and chicken? They are usually done by foreign accounts (non-American and non-Canadian) these items are cooked in small pieces and then placed in a jar once filled they are filled with salt, 9% vinegar, and sometimes spices such as chili or paprika or garlic depending on the dish.

You see, in my humble opinion, I believe that this version of food managing and production is what was meant to be the standard in a majority of households. I think the world would be better off and people would be happier spending more time doing something as meaningful and purposeful as working hard for food and appreciating the effort required to produce a healthy food supply. The industrial revolution was a crazy thing

I doubt people were happier before the Industrial Revolution. We know from scientific research that humans mostly find happiness through meaningful connections with others and through spending time with those people.

Excellent pantry tour. My wife and I put up more than we can use every year - I guess we are used to having kids around. Just a note to Dan - I learned from my grandma to fill empty jars with clean water (clean used lid and ring) and return them to the back of the row. It solves several problems like storing empty jars, keeping product to the front looking organized and you never know when some emergency water might be needed.

@LittleMountainRanch Рік тому

I put up a lot for a single women living alone. But I have 4 people I plan to feed if and when things get tough. I eat from the beginning of my canning year. I’m into October, 2021. It has saved me so much money living on social security. Food is one thing I don’t have to worry about. I can concentrate on heat and lights. I had to add that I too store water in every empty jar I own.

GIRL!!! You HAVE TO try canning quick breads (banana bread, Boston brown bread, zucchini bread, etc) wide mouth pint jars, greased, filled half way with batter, bake @ 350* till done, wipe rims, lids & rings, wait for the pop. Awesome winter breads ready to eat in the summer. I've tried and test a jar a month, over a year and they taste fresh and moist. MUST use wide mouth pint jars, or the breads don't come out of the jars as nice. Tons of UKposts videos on it.

I used to can for the year round on a farm in WV. Fortunately, my husband and brother did most of the gardening and harvesting. We had a good root cellar with plenty of shelf space, bins for potatoes and root crops. I made cheese every other day, and baked bread every week. It got challenging during canning season keeping the bread and cheese production going. So I sympathize with you for abandoning that task. There were quite a few late night marathon canning sessions going through to the fall. It helps to have a few extra hands! You are both to be congratulated for the work that feeds your family! Nice tour!!!

@MrStreaty122 Рік тому

My ex’s family makes their own jellies and jams. When they give gifts they usually include a couple jars just to use their inventory. My favorite, i ate several jars on its own, was Apple Grape jam. Stuff was heavenly, used it in PBJ’s instead of normal grape jelly. Absolute game changer You know what I also realized? While this pantry is expensive to replicate by todays standards, go back 150~200 years and it’s the holy grail of food

@schrodingerscat1863 Рік тому

Getting dry food off a concrete floor is absolutely critical if you are going to want it to last long term. Concrete holds lots of moisture and anything placed directly onto concrete will always get damp. Those platforms you built from reclaimed timber are going to save you a lot of headaches regardless of flooding.

@jpallen719 Рік тому

My grandmother used to put up 1000 jars or more when I was a kid in Montana. When you say you’re passionate about counting I completely understand that, it is the most satisfying and rewarding process that anyone could be involved in. It is a true craft that not many people are able to do or master well. How very well organized your space is….

Hi, I`m 88 yrs. old, canned a lot when my children were all at home. But it never gets out of your blood. You have done a unbelievable job of growing, preserving, in such beautiful order. Feel sorry that I can`t do exactly like you. BUT in my journey through so many DIY`s I have learned a ton of information, and enjoy what we do now. For the first time I dry canned half gallon jars of garbanzo beans, red lentils, jasmine and basmati rice. Have also dry canned four different kinds of pasta, so really proud of those. I live with my daughter and son-in-law, so we share in all of this. And was given a gift of a dyhydrater so have done oregano, lemon thyme, english thyme, sage, parsley, mandarin orange slices, dried mandarin orange skins, tomatoes, and apples. I do have backup food, several kinds of beans, canned tomatoes, meats, oils, dried garlic, dried onions, and a lot more. I am fully convinced that even aside from having a full stock of food for your family, there is coming a time when food is going to be even more sparse than it is now.

I have made about 1 kilo of wild Fireweed this year in Russia. It's rather popular here and many companies produce Fireweed tea. Also, there are people, especially in the country, who love making Fireweed tea themselves. Rubbing leaves with your hands is a physically hard and long process because you need to break up leaf cells so that they become wet for further fermentation. I use a different method: put the leaves in small plastic bags and then in a freezer for at least 24 hours (can be longer so you can continue the process when you have time, days or weeks later). Freezing allows leaf cells to break up. After that you can either roll the leaves with your hands as usual or, the easier way, to grind them through a meat grinder, and you will have granulated tea in the end. Then you ferment the mass and dry it either in the sun or in a stove. Some people love to fry fermented leaves, the tea comes black.

@mori8424 Рік тому

Gophers taught me how to store potatoes for a full year and still be firm, moist and no sprouts. Gophers used one corner of my root cellar one year as a dump site for the soil they dug to make their tunnels. My root cellar walls were dirt on the lower half and the gophers made a 3” diameter hole in the cellar wall. They then brought the dirt from their tunnels and dropped it into my cellar in one corner. There just happened to be a small pile of potatoes in that corner. So the spuds got completely covered with about 5” of moist but not wet soil. I discovered them one full year after placing them in the cellar. I was blown away, they were not mushy and sprouting like spuds get after only six months in my cellar (we live in a zone five garden zone). Instead they were just like the day I dug them, firm and moist. I couldn’t believe it! Also if you put your carrots in damp sand they will store better. You can also just leave them in the ground outside and cover them with straw bales or bags of leaves for non frozen ground to be able to dig them. Stored this way they will also become sweeter. Plant them first part of July (in zone 5) for winter storage. Plant spinach in mid Aug outside and leave it unprotected all winter and in early spring you will have the most delicious, sweet spinach. Plant cabbage in early spring and start harvesting as soon as the heads are softball size but don’t pull out the plant. Leave it growing and it will produce 4 more heads. Thin them leaving only one head and it will grow into another large head. For fall cabbage, transplant mid July. Doing these things will give you 5 months of fresh cabbage plus what you store in the root cellar for the winter.

I thought I'd done something wrong, because I lost my cabbages, too. Finding out that it's not just me is very comforting. So glad I found your video.

You pantries are beautiful. I love how beautiful the jars of food look on your shelves. I like your root cellar as well. ❤

I love your organization ❤ definitely going to check out your canning because I haven’t done it in a long time

Chelsea, I think you set the standard for Canning Pantry Tours on UKposts! Three Rivers Homestead, Homesteading Family, and That 1870s Homestead are right up there with you, but with 11 kids, in freezing Canada, you really take the cake! My suggestion about canning chicken: cut up whole chickens, freeze the parts, use the carcasses for stock and soup. Canned thighs are a waste of my favorite part, frozen is better. I like using canned drumsticks in a Basque chicken stew whenever I can get good Spanish chorizo, which isn't often, so I usually just pull it off the bones and use it for soup or mushroomy casseroles. Frozen chicken breasts are useful in so many recipes so I like getting them at the whole chicken price for the effort of cutting them up (I spent one day cutting up a dozen chickens and after that I got very fast, same thing with duck!)

That is seriously high praise! Thank you so much.😊

I've canned a lot of salmon in quart jars, and in those, the canning time does pretty much dissolve the bones. It looks like you are canning in pint jars, which is probably why your bones aren't dissolving as much as you'd like. Although, they never just disappear entirely. They do get soft enough that they shouldn't be a choking hazard, which is my biggest concern with fish bones.

Good point! I’ll bet that’s why.

So I personally found that I like to can my salmon in half pint jars. Anything bigger and I felt like it dried it out, but in the half pints it's soooooo moist... And tasty

grind up that chicken for chicken salad sandwiches. chop it small and use in enchiladas, grind for spaghetti, coarse chop for pot pie? grind for tamales. small chop for fajita nachos. rough grind for shepherds pie ( instead of beef) small chop for chicken fried rice. Treat the dog on Christmas :)

This was so impressive! I can only dream of having a storage facility like this! Well done!

My grandma cans her beats, but if she decides she wants to turn a jar into pickled beats she will pour the water out, and add pickle juice when she finishes a jar of pickles! She keeps them in the fridge and they are great! That is AWESOME that you were able to grow corn in 3b! I’m a new sub, really enjoyed this tour! I’ve put up approx 500 jars this year and have about 700 all together. I try each year to can more and more. I’m intrigued by this pickled Cole slaw as well ☺️

Spruce tip syrup or infused honey is wonderful in tea during flu season. What a great idea having an epi pen with the herbs. I will be implementing that myself!

I canned chicken legs and breasts together in quart jars and it’s also not very pretty:) But it is delicious in chicken enchiladas! I would suggest using 1 can of your legs/thighs with 1 can of your chicken breast. Should be delicious and help mask some of the texture you don’t like.

@annabelcarter5266 Рік тому

This was such an entertaining video. Thank you Chelsea and Dan! That pantry is so pretty and full of hard work and love. I think I would be tempted to put a chair in there and take coffee in the pantry to revel in the success!
