Had music for this video but had to remove it to get video to upload which is nuts since it's free licensed. Oh well.
I'm trying hard to get back at uploading videos. I've made forty or fifty, just need to edit them one at a time!
Seasons change and we grow with them.
Enjoy the recycling project.

Great idea's in this video ❤ but I do have a question that is totally unrelated lol First of all I love your channel and most of all your canning videos my question is how would using cleargel in place of arrowroot work for your cream of celery soup recipe having a very hard time finding arrowroot in my area 😊
Suggest using a wire whisk to stir the conditioner. Just sayin'
I am just finding this video now, ten years after you made it. I am very sorry for your losses and hope all is well now with you and your family. I watch this video to learn how to make my first quilts. I am in the process of making three lap quilts. I am 65 y/o and just learning to sew but am having fun learning.
More like a meatloaf sandwich
So cute!
Thank you! They sold for $8 each and I gave a wee lad a few for his family as Father's Day gifts for $4 each. They make great sale items for my farmer's Market/barter stand in springs along with my apple butters and my SD bread loaves. I'm really enjoying this area of the county and our wee farmstead. Hope you have been well, dear?
Great job playing chicken with the thread
LOL! I won!
I am fixing to make my second batch of this, I have been so pleased at how well it cleans. I have a construction dirty husband and 9 dogs so I can tell you this stuff works!!
Having a smooth top stove and the canning time is done and the stove is shut off, does the canned remain on the burner or should it be moved off? Thanks for the video! I was planning on doing my first batch of yellow beans this weekend 😊
I carefully pick up canner and set on a cooler burner. You don’t have to do this. I just always did for tears in my glass top at other house. Make sure your glass top is clean of any sugar or food rings. That can cause glass to break from high temps. And don’t drag canner across glass top… it will scratch it. If you decide to leave canner on the hot ring, turn burner off one minute prior to alarm going off to keep from over processing food. I usually turned off and lifted canner to cooler burner. I love my gas stove- no need to move it.
@@OurLittleHomestead Thank you so very much!
I read through every comment and for the people freaking out about the oats or that like me, just want to eat a carnivore or keto woe. Here’s how I made mine. Minced meat Dried onions Dried garlic Jarred ginger paste All spice Nutmeg Salt White pepper & black pepper Parsley….mix up well and air fry until done through. I make my own beef and mushroom broth so I added both to a pot with dried shiitake and button mushrooms and a bit of powdered mushroom broth. Then added a little mushroom powder, all spice, nutmeg, and white and black powder. Finally, I added one can of cream of mushroom, but you can totally omit that. It turns out amazing! Ty for the inspiration. I hope to see new videos from you soon. ❤
Did yours wobble all the time or just sometimes? Ours did it bad once but then not again the rest of the trip.
It did it every time we hit a pothole...scared us! We pulled into Menards and replaced the rubber gaskets and it fixed the issue. It wobbled so bad, you felt like you were on a ride. It's dangerous for sure!
I wish my good will had patterns
I find them in the odd and ends bags along the window wall at our GW. I get all my greeting cards as well.
Good idea ❤❤❤ but conditioner is expensive 😢
I used to get it for .50 cents at coupon sales days at DG or from garage sales. I now just use vinegar and water in rinse water. No scent due to my migraines.
What can i put in the mix instead of tapioca flour please
try Arrow Root flour or a white bean flour.
Will you let that man make his own salad?
I know this is a 6 year old video. What you made is blackberry jelly. Jam has all the seeds. My family has been making blackberry jam for decades and you don't remove seeds.
It doesn't remove all the seeds. Just enough not to bother my tummy.
Great video !!! We really liked your adding ductwork in your attic, absolutely amazing !!! So incredibly methodical, you are hired to do ours !!!
Plain old vintage works too
I think I would have cut the field tile over in the field and not had to put in the sump pump. And that would have kept the water away from your house. Am I correct ??? How is it all holding up today ??
The city and developer made that decision for us. We sold house five years ago and bought a farmstead. But my friends, who bought our old house, are thankful for it when the storms hit. I put a bunker in our new basement. She says the grands love going down there with friends and watching tv, esp in bad weather. It's holding up great. I put three coats of coal tar apoxy on it.
So is 2024 do you still have the cherry tree?
The ppl that bought our house five years ago, said they cut down 3 of the back yard trees. I believe that was one of them. Once you sell, you have no say, for sure! I have had two of my four cherry trees make it here on the farm though. Cherry trees for me are hard to get going. Very few around these parts of central Indiana. I did get peaches for the first year and second year for pears. First year for apples as well. Plus we have a 60 tree orchard down the lane. I made over 200 pints of applebutters last year and sold all but 30 jars. It paid for my garden seed and my landscape mulch this spring. Plan on making peach jam this year. I give 10% of fruit to ppl in need.
@OurLittleHomestead Oh wow, how sad we are growing some, but it will be a couple of years before we see any cherries 🍒
Omggg burger chef!!!!! I loved that place!!!!!
Don't you agree they need to reopen that chain? LOL!
@@OurLittleHomestead yessss absolutely!!!!
How much do I use at a time?
Show how you make that shampoo and conditioner!!!!! You go girl.
Beautiful green beans
Thank you! Glad I put up 200 qts last year, because I got a handful this year. I think all the storms came early. With my broken ankle and crust hand, I was in power chair for 9 weeks. So, garden went out very late. Fruit orchard is really giving me love this year though!
Now this looks like Thanksgiving, and all winter long condiment. I do not like that cranberry jelly in a can. But this looks delicious. Thank you. I added this to my project list.
You have to try it! It's versatile as well!
Oci clean like you put in laundry? Isnt it a bleach? Is it safe
Have added a few new videos for you! I'm back! LOL! Hopefully, with Katy in school again, I can get back at it!
10:04 You had blackberry juice in your Kitchenaid bowl. You could have used that.
yes. I probably did use it somewhere. I don't toss anything. It goes in a jar or a freezer! LOL!
Thank you sooo much for this information My wife just watched and said you are the best God Bless
Do have a fabric softener recipe?
I’m happy you are back! I really enjoy your videos.
You may not mind risking your health for botulism, but please do not risk other's health. You are not an expert on canning, our USDA and others use scientific methods, which you should appreciate.
Yet I'm still standing. Go clutch your pearls elsewhere. I've been canning for 42 years. It's my family favorite.
Thank you can’t wait to try it. Bless you
Today is my 4th time following your recipe..very happy with the results thank you
LOL! Vinegar cleans them up nicely, and a little baking soda when the minerals are really harding on the lid around the steam spout. I have several canners. My presto 16qts are still my favorites.
Copperhead snakes…? Yikes!
what kind of fish ???
Tilapia, Cod, Haddock, Salmon are just few that work well.
Thank you so much.@@OurLittleHomestead
💯👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Good to see you again
Yum yum. Going to try this soon. ❤❤
Good to see you again ❤❤ Many Blessings ❤❤
Hello... I'm wondering if the steam juicer would work with eldeberries. They have tiny seeds and are yummy berries. They are a pain to squeeze they Cheesecloth. I would love it if this device would work. Thanks!
Yes! I used my butter/fine cotton linen on bottom of strainer. Steam for in enough over time to make it work.
Someone suggested adding some marbles into the bottom section so when they start to bang around you know the water is getting low
That is brilliant. Thanks!
The Clover Valley (Dollar General Store) Apple Cider Vinegar is advertised at 5% still. It might be helpful for people to list which brands are still at 5% in the comment section
This is also the second attatchment I bought. Oiling the machine helps. Thank you for the informative video! Off to canning!!
It’s so wonderful to see you both. I’m so happy to have your videos so I can learn the skills I need to nurture my future family.
Why cant you add egg to pressure canning item? I am new and just going to start so i am watching for all tips.
Some ppl actually can whole eggs for boiled eggs. I have never done this method. But my friend does it. She loves making deviled eggs for salads. I'd upload a pic if this section would allow it.
I don’t know… After the first time I (recently) used my pressure canner it looked like a hand me down from an Amish family!! 😂
Janie, I just was telling my husband a few weeks back that I hadn't seen one of your videos in a while and he said that I had mentioned that before to him a few months ago when I had him buy a big huge bag of long grain rice. Your videos just stopped coming up on my recommendations, and then all of a sudden today, there was your dry canning video, so I clicked on your channel name so that I could save it to my special file. I'll be glad to go through and see what I have missed over I think nearly three years or more. Glad to have you back. May God always Bless the two of you and your family with good health, safety, and prosperity in all you do. ~SuzyJC-in-Central-Southeastern-Ohio_10.18.2023~

Put all the stuff in the jug and shake it… much easier and you don’t have to wash your pan and spoon!
How much does the juice get diluted by the steam?
That’s my question exactly, I’d like to see a comparison with a masticating juice to compare volume
