- Hey everyone, I wanted to share with you my pantry after our first year of homesteading. I hope this video inspires you with ideas for your pantry. Thanks for tuning in and God bless.
I was watching Acre homestead pantry tour. She makes her salsa and then strains out the extra juice and cans it and uses it for Spanish rice. I'm going to try that this year with my salsa.
I have done that for years. Great way to spice up a lot of things!
Love Becky at Acre Homestead!
Yeah, we always put salsa or tomatoes in our rice, idk why its just how most latinos do it. but it does help not having to use as much water.
Brilliant idea
Really nice pantry. So tidy, versatile, and labeled beautifully. Function and beauty! Love it!
Thanks so much! 😊
Thanking U 4 such a wonderful pantry tour!!!😊
This is a tremendous amount of food for your first year.
Here's a tip for canning a thicker salsa - Inuse a ladle to skim off the excess liquid after I've cooked the salsa. I can the "salsa juice" in pints to the next add later to a crock pot roast or taco meat. Makes another 2 for 1 product
Awesome thanks for the idea!
Thin it out! You can use Wyman's wild Maine blueberry juice or cran blueberry. You could even use white grape juice. Just because something is the texture that you don't appreciate when you open the jar change it don't let it sit for 10 years and don't throw it out that's not what we do. :-)
Beautiful preserved garden harvest! Maybe add dandelion jelly to some tea.
Never thought of that. Thanks for the idea.
Creamed corn can be tricky to use up. If you make Shepherd's pie, mix one can of the creamed corn with regular corn, if you make it that way.
Thank you for sharing your pantry tour. I appreciate the calm way you go through what you have preserved. It helps in having a few ideas for inspiration to make my own family pantry. Many blessings to you.
Just found you. What a beautiful and organized pantry! Looking forward to watching the rest of your videos. You have such a sweet voice and sweet kind face. Thanks so much for sharing your info!
I have watched many videos of pantries belonging to homesteaders. I have to say that your pantry is very well stocked but more important than that, is how beautiful your food looks in the jars. I always look at the food itself and judge accordingly. Your liquids in the jars are so clear and rich looking. Your pickles even look like each piece was placed just right. In short I think you have the most delicious looking canned food of all the homestead ladies. Well done, I know that it was a tremendous amount of work.
Thank you so much!
Love you pantry! Great job on all your canning! Thank you for sharing!
Loving the look of all this preparedness!
Loooove this video. Truly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing.
HI! Just wanted to share my learning for pizza with you! I do 500grams of wheat flour, half a cube of fresh yeast (about 10.5grams -> 5 grams of dried yeast), about 225ml warm water, a pinch of sugar to feed the yeast, 10grams of salt and olive oil. First mix up yeast, water and sugar (let ist sit for about 10 minutes until you see the yeast starting to work), than mix with flour. Let it sit for an hour, then knee in salt an olive oil. With olive oil work in batches of 10-20 ml a time. kneed until the dough does not feel that sticky anymore and add more olive oil (do about 4 or 5 times, until the dough is nice and smooth, that way you can roll it really thin and it gets crispy). The amount of dough is for 4 pizzas. Bake it in the oven for 15 minutes each at 250°C heat from top and bottom (you can stack the baktngsheets in the oven, but each pizza has to be at the top for at least the last 5 minutes to get really crispy and white browned cheese...) It was quiet challenging to get my boyfriend away from storebought freezed pizza, but this recipe did it!
Wow your pantry looks fabulous And I can't believe that was from your first garden-- You did a fabulous job!!!
Very impressive for your first year of canning.
Thank you for sharing! We are planning to finish out a storage building for my office plus a pantry. Love your shelving. Gives me some great ideas.
Beautiful. Great job. All your hard work definitely shows
Thank you for sharing. I'm prepping like a nut. I was able to get 600lbs of red winter wheat berries from a menonite farmer who is all organic! That's 24 5gal buckets. I washed out all the buckets today. Tomorrow I will make sure they're dry then load them up with oxygen absorbers.
Thank you for sharing great information & your awesome pantry!
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ thanks for talking about ebelskiver! I had never heard of it. I paused the video, researched it, and went on Amazon and purchased a cast iron pan to try these! Looking forward to a new recipe! Also, I had heard Jessica from Three Rivers Homestead talk about Pamona’s Pectin, but had no idea you can use it to make lower sugar jams!! I then paused your video again and went back on Amazon and bought some to try along with a cookbook full of recipes that use it. 👍👌❤️ you have lots of good ideas!!
When you can chili can the meat and sauce and then when you open it add the beans. The meat and beans together make it very dense.
I just found your site and enjoyed your pantry tour very much you did fantastic in your first year🌟 Carol in Ontario Canada
Beautiful pantry!!
I just canned hit pepper peach salsa for fish topping and trying to keep everyone hands off candied Pepper's I grew so many hot peppers and you think even grandkids wouldn't eat them but on a cracker with cream cheese or cheese or chicken sandwich it disappears and to say no no to people stopping by wanting it. If it didn't sale for $65.00 a half pint jars I do my own. Take the seeds out. Yum. I even made a zucchini salsa that you boil the water down to make it thick and I use mine on lasagna.
Fascinating tour, thank you!
Ur pantry is awesome thanks for sharing 🙂
You can get food grade buckets from bakeries. The icing comes in them. Most places will give away or sell very cheap!
Great job, your very well organized
Great pantry tour!!
You've been a busy young lady. I raised my family the same way.
Great pantry tour and yes it gives a sense security and oh my such alot of hard work that we as home bodies do
I learned to not bother skinning or deseed tomatoes anymore. Rather I cook them down a bit in a big 18qt roaster I got at Goodwill for $6.99 and then I use my immersion blender before combining them in sauces. Best trick ever. Ball has a nice a southwest chicken soup recipe. I prefer subbing roasted corn broth instead for the tomato juice. Nice job, especially for your first year. Kudos! 👍🏻
I do a similar method for my tomato sauce.
Azure Standard has food grade 2 gallon buckets, as well as 3.5 gallon buckets, and gamma lids that fit. The company ULINE sells different sizes of food grade buckets with twist lock lids. I will say, Azure Standard is definitely the best deal for buckets and gamma lids.
For your first year, you’re killing the game…great job! I’m in Massachusetts, might I ask how far north you are? You mentioned planting fruit trees, I know apple trees do well this far north but, I am interested in peach trees and, for some reason, I don’t think it’s warm enough here.
Happy preserving everyone! 💞
Peach trees will do fine in MA. Just find a cold hardy variety.
@@itsamemuffins I’ll have to look into it. Thank you!
What a great job you have done on your pantry and food storage. 👍🏻
Yes it looks wonderful💚❤️
What a beautiful pantry! I started my pantry and canning a year ago as well and I wish I had started sooner because I love it!! Great job 😊
Awesome. I agree, so satisfying.
I have a large basement and bought 14 h/d shelving units. I'm working on getting what I can down there. Also, there's an 8'x7'8" pantry next to the kitchen. It was a multi purpose room with a shower, sink/vanity, W/D. I took all of that out and put in built in wood shelves. Love it!!!!!
To help many Walmart is a mall on shopping for anything on line I got massive bulk seasoning, my bucket's, jars, now on something's they have a limit . Just bought up Asian sauces to make fried up veggies yum.
The Ball electric canner lid fits nicely on the blue metal canners. It keeps the water from splashing out while its boiling.
Really enjoyed your pantry tour! I'm hoping that I can put up more produce this year. I have never canned and it's very intimidating to me, but I'm anxious to try!
Get the ball canning book and just start. I started with jams and jellies. I made some syrup because a batch did not set up but blackberry syrup is still very good. Jams and jellies only need a water bath canning. Just follow the directions and you will be surprised how much you can get done
First time watching your videos. Loved the pantry tour! I will looking into an electric canner!
Not a fan of pizza myself but was converted after trying America’s Test Kitchen Chicago thin crust recipe. The only thing I changed was the way of transferring to oven. Replaced cornmeal with parchment paper.
I love the handwriting on the name tags!
You have done a great job. It looks beautiful. If I could make a suggestion and maybe you have done it already but I can’t see it. It’s important to keep your food storage up off the floor. I have found some pallets that I have put my buckets on.
VERY NICE VIDEO. I LIKE THE EXPLANATION ON THE BUCKETS
I get all my buckets at Walmart bakery dept. If you ask them to save them after they empty them. They get their icings in them. I haven’t payed anything. Any store that has a bakery in them get these buckets. They usually throw them away. They have smaller ones also.
For your too liquid salsa, pour it into a strainer to get rid of the extra liquid then it should be the correct texture for dipping.
I use Roma tomatoes for my salsa- I do peel them, but I chop the onions, peppers and tomatoes in large chunks and this keeps the texture through the canning process
Maine sugaring Sunday is coming up soon a very fun event! :-)
Great job!
You can get both two and five gallon food grade buckets and the Gamma lids for a great price from Azure Standard. Buying bulk foods from Azure is the very best way to go as well. I have built a huge walk in pantry that is filled with food from Azure.
Unfortunately Azure Standard doesn't come anywhere in northern Michigan. I get my bulk food from our local Amish.
Good tip on the parmesan lid!!!
I have been in my house for a year however my canner was destroyed as was my electric wheelchair. I didn't use a company so there's really nobody I can sue and I need an electric wheelchair badly! I've had one for years now and it makes going out so much easier. I haven't been out of the house in a year. Be well and keep canning! :-)
You have a nice looking pantry with your canning. It wouldn't look very nice with all that glass in a shattered heap on the floor I the coming earthquakes. Take1" x 1" s and place them aboy 3"s above the shelves to keep anything from falling out. The sooner the better!
People think this advice is universal, but it isn't. Many of us don't get earthquakes.
Nice job. You have a nice pantry.
Thank you!
The sliced apples are really good in a apple crisp. I mix up a bunch of the crisp topping and keep it in the freezer so when I want to make it I will poor out a jar and add the topping and bake. Easy treat
Great tip. I'm going to use this one. Thanks!
@@susanpeterson8773 I have used almost all I put up last year of the sliced apples I also made a bunch of apple sauce last year. This year I will just do sliced apples because of the apple crisp. I still have a lot of apple sauce left over.
very impressive nice set up. may i suggest you go to local food stores that have a bakery or deli you can get those buckets in various sizes . for free or for very cheap with the lids can save you big bucks on the food grade buckets, then just invest in the gamma lids for easy access to contents . We have a Giant food store and local Weis that literally gave me 8 5 gallon buckets and 5 3 gallon with all the lids we had to wash them some had icing still in them but free is helpful and i won't complain about cleaning them i would clean them brand new anyway, right? I'm actually doing major dehydrating to save storage and after the ball issue thru the last 2 yrs being so hard to find and lids near impossible, (still can't get the wide mouth lids right now) i invested in a second dehydrator and began drying and powdering garden goodies and am very happy with the outcome, thank you for sharing and allowing us to share with you.
Yes, great idea. Thanks for sharing. I have a dehydrator that doesn't get enough use.
Bravo great job 👏
Amazing pantry am jealous❤😅
I became a new subbie. Wow you did alot in a year.
Try Chulula hot sauce, the taste is awesome and it’s med heat unless you use a lot.
I hope you will vacuum ceiling 1 to 5 lb packages and then putting them in the buckets. :-)
Good job.!!
I get FREE 2 gallon buckets all the time. Frosting buckets from any bakery.
Fantastic preservation of your bountiful blessings. God bless.
You can make smoothies or cucumber juice with extra cucumbers. Delicious additional use.
Dandelion jelly? Never heard of that. I’m intrigued.
Look on line for Mel's kitchen, the best homemade salsa. I agree, we like thick salsa. It is not runny. I canned 30 pints. So good.
Awesome thanks.
I managed an ice cream shop that used two gallon buckets for their product. Call a local shop that hand scoops and see if they would sell you some.
When canning add a can of tomato paste to your salsa and cook uncovered.
Great pantry
My husband is not a fan of chunky tomatoes either
I just put mine in the blender
I use an immersion blender for my 26 quarts of marinara sauce! I lived in Italy and learn to make the real deal from an old grandmother. :-)
I see no hot peppers in your Pickles slice and out in about four and onions and when you try that pickles you will say why haven't I done this. Or sweet pickles zucchini with onion and hot pepper it's ever wow to add to egg's, pasta salad. Then the zucchini relish wow
Have any of the lids popped? I didn’t know about doing that. I’m just getting started with homesteading.
I am always afraid of the bad canned veggies that are mush. So thanks for letting us know that your carrots turned out well. Helps me! Just found you, do you have gardening videos?
I do have some gardening videos. More to come this year.
@@TheUpNorthHome can't wait to see them!
I just found your channel and just love your videos. Are you in Michigan? I love your pantry and all you home canned items. God bless❤️
Hey there! Thanks for the kind words. Yes I am in Michigan.
@@TheUpNorthHome I’m near the Mackinaw Bridge.
Fire House Subs will sell you their used food grade 5 gal bucket with lid for $5.00. All proceeds goes towards fallen firefighters etc.
have you had issue with them smelling like pickles? I bought one and am trying to use it but it smells of pickles and yet I washed it a couple times and still smells.
i have found buckets from my local supermarket in their deli section.
Do you have your chili recipe you can share? I have similar beans and was looking for ideas.
when it comes to your 5 gallon buckets , what do you do to keep the food fresh and last longer?
I work in a bakery and we give away are buckets probably 40 buckets a week
They have a reusable lid the Amish uses what do you think about it and how do you use it?
Such a fantastic video! New first year gardener/homesteader/youtuber here and I loved how natural, straight forward and welcoming you were!
Thank you so much for sharing your journey with us.😇💕
We are just starting out and want to store our rice and beans properly. We have them in the freezer now but before you store them away how do you make sure there’s no condensation in the food so it doesn’t spoil? 😵💫 haha!
I let my rice and flour "air out" on the counter for 2 days.
Thank you for the video it was enjoyed very much also I have a question are you in Michigan and if so what part of Michigan North Michigan or the southern part myself I'm in Roseville Michigan
I am in north west Michigan. I'm glad you enjoyed.
I know tons of people who have given up on the water bath canner because it's just as easy to do in the stock pot or wide soup pot like I do. I need to be spending my money on jars not 175 water bath canner that's just me we all have our own ways of doing things.
For sure. I got the electric canner because my electric stove is terrible. If I had a nice gas stove, I likely wouldn't.
You should buy more local honey because it is the only food on earth that never spoils. If it crystallizes, just place the container on a warm water bath and it will be runny again.
New subscriber here. I just love your pantry. We have a large coat closet we're gutting to make my pantry. I'm so excited I can't wait for it to get finished. I did have plastic Walmart shelves but to have a real one is special. Thank you for the tips about canning supplies I will be looking out.
Great job! Do you use mylar in your 5gallon buckets?
No. I haven't use mylar because it is a working pantry. We are always using it and rotating through.
Strain the salsa when you open it up.
Hey, do you ever Mylar bag items in your 5 gallon buckets for long term food storage?
I typically don't, because I don't consider it long-term storage. It is a working pantry. I am always using it.
lWalmart has them sometime for free on the bakery
Your's is like ours and we have a massive bedroom full as our store and for buckets I spent the money and bought twisted tops for the five gallon buckets. But I also have like one packed with spaghetti noodles when they were $.50 and now$3.45 wow but I've taken over another room with 89 half gallon of dehydrated foods as I like to find how to room them to one. The hording of food is crazy but I can't read two year's in what our government is up to. Like them hording billions of cheese in two massive caves in Kansas and dumping out truck loads of milk. So what are they up to. Ya store up people don't knock on our doors for a thing.
Kirby cucumbers!
Where on earth did you find the bacon grease???
Like the pantry tours, but I can't hear a word your saying.wheres your Mike located
Onions should be hung in pantyhose look for a video it's the old way but it's the best way. Also when you chop or cut your red onions put them in water for 3 to 4 minutes a bowl of water and it pulls out all of the sting if you go longer it will pull out all the onion flavor as well so anywhere from 3 to 5 minutes. Pumpkin puree is not an approved item to can because it is very dense and density is an issue with the heat getting all the way to the center of the product. You can them in chunks then do what you want once you want to use them.
WALMART SELLS THE 5 GALLON AND 3 GALLON FOOD GRADE BUCKETS ONLINE FOR $3-$5. THEY RUN OUT PRETTY QUICK BUT USUALLY RE-STOCK WITHIN A WEEK OR LESS.
Check out Farmhouse on Boone CZcams channel. She can show you how to make a thin pizza crust in a cast iron pan with some sourdough discard.
What is the food you kept saying you put jellies on? sounded german or something. Wanted to know what that was.
Aebleskiver.
Your handwriting is amazing! I would love my pantry to have little cards like that but with your handwriting! If you ever want to sell some, I would definitely purchase some!!! Thanks for sharing and great job on your first year! Gosh bless y’all!
That is a font she printed on labels.
