Gordon's Shepherd's Pie recipe: • Classic Shepherd's Pie...
Cottage Stew (Canning Recipe)
Makes 7-8 pints
3lbs Ground Beef (use Ground Lamb for Shepherd's Stew)
1 1/2 cups very finely diced carrots
1/2 cup diced carrots (no more than 1/4" in diameter)
1/2 cup very finely diced celery
3 cups peeled diced low-starch potatoes
2 cups finely diced onions
3-4 cloves minced garlic
1T Salt
2 tsp Pepper
1.5T finely diced fresh Rosemary (or 1T dried Rosemary)
2 tsp fresh or dried Thyme
4-5 heaping Tablespoons tomato paste (about 3/4 of a 6 oz can)
4T Worcestershire Sauce
1 cup dry red wine (or 1 additional cup of broth)
2 cups unsalted beef broth (if using salted, adjust seasoning to taste)
Peel, dice and soak potatoes in ice water. Drain, and replace with fresh water as necessary to remove starch.
Brown ground beef, chopping as you go. If using unsalted beef broth, go ahead and add 2 tsp of salt and 1 tsp pepper to season the beef. (If using salted broth, wait until the end to taste for seasoning.) Remove ground beef and set aside. Remove all but a couple tablespoons of beef fat from the pot.
Sauté onions, garlic, celery, carrots on medium low heat until translucent. Add remaining salt and pepper. Increase heat to medium high to start caramelizing veggies. Add tomato paste and let cook for about 30 seconds. Add drained potatoes. Add drained beef back into the pot. Mix into veggies.
Add red wine. Bring to a light boil while deglazing the bottom and sides of the pan. As the wine has reduced by half, add Worcestershire Sauce and Beef Broth. Return to low boil and let simmer about 15 minutes, until sauce starts to thicken just a bit.
While stew simmers, prepare canner and jars. Both should be hot prior to filling.
Once everything is ready, fill jars to a generous 1" headspace. Process in a pressure canner for 75 minutes at the appropriate pressure for your altitude. (See linked chart below)
Once processing is done, canner has completely cooled and all pressure has released, remove the jars to a protected surface and allow to sit undisturbed for 12-24 hours.

Thank you Carter! You took this “non-cook” 54 yr old working mom who was petrified of pressure canners to being a brave new cook & meal-in-a-jar canner! I used the presto digital canner for a week and then decided to go ahead and get an all American in case power goes out…
Vicki, you are unstoppable! I love your journey!
I just purchased a Pressure Cooker & very scared to use it! 😂
@@LoveMyCoffee10 my first instant pot scared me too. The pressure thing is not something I grew up using. But after a few years I learned to trust the safety measures and now it’s another tool in my kitchen. It was a stepping stone to deciding to try pressure canning with an actual canner. Nobody in my real life pressure cans so I’m very grateful to the CZcams community for the information, step by step details along with safety precautions, and of course Carter’s delicious recipes! Definitely trying this one when I get a break from work!
@@LoveMyCoffee10 Watch a lot of you tube videos and start out doing simple things to build up your confidence. Even old canners, won't explode and kill you or blow off the kitchen roof. They had safety measures built in - relief valves. Yes the old stove top canners, you had to devote 75 ot 90 minutes of time to and watch the pressure gauge to make sure it stayed at a steady pounds per square inch. But that is very manageable. The more you use your caner the more confident you will feel.
Carter! I am so grateful for all of these ‘out of the box - meal in a jar’ canning recipes! The time you take in testing the recipes to make sure everything is just right appeals to the perfectionist in me 🤣, and is much appreciated. Can’t wait to see what’s next!!
Thanks so much, MaryBeth!
Is anyone else hoping for smell-a-vision? I absolutely love your channel. I only found you about a week or two ago and I can’t get enough. You’re so thoughtful and thorough in your video conversation and you’re so easy to listen to. Please keep it homey like this and avoid the ridiculous music and special effects. Your to-the-point videos make me feel like I’m right there in the kitchen watching you. Great channel, my wife and I both love it as we’re avid pressure and water-bath canners. Cheers!
Thanks so much, PDX! Glad to have you and your wife here!
Sorry haven't been around. Let me explain some English food to you. Shepherd's pie is lamb because Shepherd's look after sheep. Cottage pie is beef. This is how we remember it. What you made in the jar is actually something we call Savoury Mince not a stew. It is a meal in itself but we will often have extra vegetables on the side, normally something green.
Restaurants will tend to use red wine in this recipe, where pub restaurants will use a stout or beer.
I will also say that something we also do with this if we are cooking it at home is if we make a bigger batch, is on one day have it like you made it. Then the next day add a can of chopped tomatoes and alittle extra stock to make it into a soup. The tomatoes bring out more flavour, make the meal go further. We dip crusty bread into it.
Sam! So good to see you! Hope you’re doing well. I love the background on this dish. Your “day two” version also sounds amazing. I’ll definitely be trying that one!
@@growandpreserve I decided for some reason it was a great time for a whole house clean out and reorganisation lol going through every bag,box and cupboard sounded good when I had the idea lol
Now you have me worried. I had just decided a whole house purge was a good idea too! Maybe I should re-think that! 🤔@@samstevens7888
@@growandpreserve lol it will be good once it's done that is what I keep saying to myself lol
The beans soups are delicious, made a double recipe of each, perfect for the winter pantry. Thank you
Hooray, Corinne! So glad you liked them!
I have made this twice now and it is delicious! I’m a flight attendant and pack a lunch cooler for 3 day trips. I cannot tell you how much good food has gone bad while flying. Hotels with no room refrigerator or ones that do not get cold enough or worse, freeze everything. Taking canned meals in a jar is a game changer. I heat dinner up in a portable soft oven while I get my shower and it’s ready, healthy & delicious when I get out. Keep the good content coming. 🤣😘
What a fantastic use for meals in jars! I love this story. So glad you like the cottage stew! It's one of my favorites as well. Fly safely!
Just as I was thinking I needed some ready to eat meals in a jar, your video came up!! Mindreading at it's finest. 😊
Great minds, Ray! Hope you love this one!
This was a great video & recipe, you're very classy & I love your kitchen, lol.
I would love to see you open one of your jars from a year ago to taste test. I am very new at this, I find it relaxing & fun. My challenge is where to store safely. Thank you!
Welcome, Virgo! Great to have you here! I don’t have any older jars if this, but I’m planning the next meals from the pantry video. I will be sure to pick some older jars. Great idea! Thanks so much.
Looks great I have about 4 pounds of ground lamb in my freezer - gotta grab a sale! Now for all the beans video ❤
Lucky you, Wendy! I’ll be on lookout for a sale!
Thank You for sharing your videos are very informative.
I have almost every recipe on my shelf…it is fun to watch and make them.
Natalia, that's awesome! I'm so glad to have you here!
This looks like a winner! I appreciate all the work that you put into these recipes. Thank you!
Thanks, T!
I made the Cottage pie mix this morning and had a little left over for lunch. It was delicious! I have made most of your recipes and love them! Thank you so much for your time put into these videos.
Yay, Janice! So glad to hear it!
I am definitely making this one. Just starting to learn how to make meal in a jar recipes. Your videos are teaching me so much. Thank you!
Awesome, Karen! You’ll be so glad to have some meals in jars for those days you need “easy”. Thanks for being here!
That was awesome 👌 I'm adding to my list, comfort food for sure. Tysm for all the soups and meals in jars, it's been fantastic when I'm tired, which is often. 😊 Take good care
Shannon! Always so good to see you! I’m glad you’re enjoying the meals in jars. I do like having them on the shelf for those long days when there’s no energy left for cooking.
Love the meals in a jar. My husband and I are retired, and i cook all our meals. These are so helpful.❤😊 thanks 🎉
You are so welcome!
Love your recipes!! We seem to love the same food styles and meal in a jar is the best! As soon as I unpack (UGH moving) I'll try this and a few of your last bean recipes in the Presto electric canner soon to arrive. Thanks for your hard work and videos that make it all look manageable. My kitchen is a mess when i can..haha! Looking forward to what's to come.
Sheron, good luck with your move! You're going to love your new canner. You should ask my husband what my kitchen looks like after I've been in there all day canning! 😬
I'm always looking for "New" meal in a jar recipe to take to my step-father who takes care of my mother who has Alzheimers. I cannot wait to try this out. Thanks so much. Keep the meal in a jar recipes coming.
Excellent, Pam! Hope he loves it. Being a caregiver is such a hard role.
Thank you for another fantastic recipe Carter! I just used the Nesco electric canner for the first time. Really hands off
Electric canners are a dream, aren't they? Thanks for being here, Carrie!
Well! I have been canning cottage pie and shepherds pie for decades, but never have added wine to it. Generally, I layer it, just as if making it in oven dish. But this recipe is surely worth trying. I just came across your videos this week and already have a half dozen marked to try. Thanks for the great twists to update our canning pantry.
Wonderful, Janice. Keep me posted!
I throw a handful of frozen, homegrown peas when I heat the stew. I love the brightness and taste.
Another meal in a jar I'm looking forward to trying. Thank you, Carter!
Excellent, Colleen! Hope you love it!
Thank you so much, Carter! I am definitely going to try this one! Looks delicious!
Welcome, Reatha! Good to have you here!
Looks delicious
Thanks, Connie!
@@growandpreserve my two favorite meals, stew and shepherds pie. Do you think it would be too much to still put the mashed potatoes on top with potatoes inside?
I'm not sure there's such a thing as too many potatoes, Connie!@@constancebeck2992
Hi Carter! Just watching this latest, as life is busy as heck sometimes.
Absolutely enjoy watching you break some rules. It keeps life interesting.
I bet that tastes really great on a cold winter evening.
Best wishes, W.
Wayne! So good to see you! Life does get ridiculously busy sometimes. Hope it's all good busy for you. I'll be here when things settle down a bit for you!
Thanks for adapting and testing the recipes before you present them. I appreciate your time and efforts! I will definitely try this recipe!
My pleasure, Kathi. I hope you love this one. It all started with Gordon Ramsey...hard to go wrong!
This looks great. I will be trying this.
Hey, Denise! Good to see you.
this has inspired me -- thanks!
I'm so glad!
We have never added peas to our cottage pie, but we did add corn. I have never had it with carrots or celery either. You have made me want to make it this way though. In fact I think I will make it this way this winter just to try it out. It looks delicious. Thank you for sharing this with us
Can't wait to hear what you think of this recipe, Erica!
I love Shepherd's pie and can't wait to make (and can) this! But I'm going to wait until my new Nakano knives arrive! I just ordered the Mito Santoku Knife + Steak Knife Set. I guess this is an early Christmas present to myself! Thank you for the discount code...it really helped!😊❤😊
Marsha, you are going to love your new knives! Can't wait to hear what you think of the Cottage Stew!
Oh my gosh Carter I can’t wait to make this on the weekend! Might I suggest using a metal bench scraper to pick up you veggies from your cutting board? Using the bench scraper will be so much kinder to the blade of your new knives 😊
You're right, Dolores! I even have one. I just always forget about it.
@@growandpreserve … just looking out for your new knives! Also wanted to say once again that your channel is my ‘go to’ when I’m looking for recipes or inspiration. Thanks again!!
Thank you, Dolores!@@dolorescampbell
Looks delicious. Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks, Andrea!
Hi Carter, i often make cottage pie. It's a wonderful comfort dish. A big bowl for supper is just what the doctor ordered. Never thought of canning it, and yes, you cannot incorporate mash 😅 But this looks fabulous!
Thanks, Erika! It is warm and comforting, isn’t it? Hope you have a great week!
Love this, and I love Gordan Ramsey. This is a great idea, Carter. We are raising Lamb and soon will have some meat in the freezer. I will try and make this with Lamb. Super excited.
I also wanted to update you on my cumin seeds; you wanted to know how it is ground up. I have ground it up several times, and it is excellent. I love it! So, if you are ever in a pinch and need ground Cumin but don't have but Cumin Seeds, grinding it up works wonderfully. 😀 Have a terrific Day!
Hey, Lori! Good to see you! How great to have access to lamb for this recipe. Please let me know what you think whenever you get to it. Great tip on the cumin seeds! Have a great week!
I was just thinking about you last night, that I hadn't seen you for a while. I decided to search for you today and here you popped up this morning. Lovely to see you again! ☺️
Hey, Em! Good to see you! I post every Saturday. I hope to bump that back up to twice per week when my “life obligations” settle down a bit.
Wow! That is something I would make. Looks very good.
Thanks, Sheryl!
I can't wait to make this ❤ from Missouri
Great, Lea! Hope you do. Keep me posted.
Love this recipe. Mine is a bit different just hamburger, corn and d potatoes. Always wanted how to can this. I will trying mine even if it has no mashed potatoes. But will have the same taste.
Good plan, Susan!
Looks delicious.
Have to try. My husband is going through your Asian plum sauce like water. And I made a double recipe! Going to have to ration out the rest of the year!😮
I love that!
So excited to see that you’re doing a shepherds pie recipe as I adore shepherds pie. Being from England I grew up eating this often and I must say I cook it with wine also. I really would be most interested to hear how you adapt certain recipes such as this one for canning to ensure safety and any precautions you consider. I know It is ill-advised to can leftovers because of the multiple factors that have to fall within specified parameters, which is why we are told to strictly follow canning recipes and not change the ratios of the vegetables etc. adding wine for example changes the ph. Being new to this I have lots of questions. 🧐🤔😁 Love your videos.
Hey, Raven! Excellent topic for discussion! I've been compiling a list of questions for a Q&A video, hopefully this Winter. I will add this to the list.
@@growandpreserve Thank you.
I’m just watching your video on shelving for jar storage. Like yourself before having that beautiful space I’m putting my jars all over the house ! I love how you fess up to these things. Lol. Will have to Re-designate a space and hopefully create a nice little storage area also. I so value and appreciate you sharing your experience.
You are correct, the flavor of the celery and carrots cooked in the pan with that little bit of fat brings on a certain smell and flavor that's fabulous. I use that method when making Pasta E Fagioli and then add the tomato paste and let it cook for a couple of minutes it brings on a beefy goodness.
Yum!
New subscriber> I Love your canning videos Thank you
Welcome, Bonnie! So glad to have you here!
I am restocking my canned goods right now and going to try this one for sure. I would put this in an oval dish with some puff pastry as a lid. Egg wash so it looks real pretty. Golden smells to die for comfort food ! Doesn't get any better than that. Thank you Carter
It is delicious with combo of red wine and Guinness!
Can’t wait till you publish a cookbook someday! 😉
Thanks, Mary!
Excuse me Carter. You are the Chef. Make it anyway you like it. You wrangled that tangle of thyme. That looks delicious. Cannot wait to have this is in my pantry. Thank you Carter.
Hey, Donna! So good to see you! Let me know if you make this one. It's quite tasty!
I really want to use my new canner soon. Is the Malbec a good wine? I'm a sweet wine and Zinfandel girl. But having eye surgery Wed 25 and also Dec 1 for cataracts. Dang it's tough getting old. Loved your channel. You are so enjoyable to watch. @@growandpreserve
Oh, Carter...thanks for another "meal in a jar" recipe for my collection! Also, which knife are you using in the video? I went to the website, and there are several different series. I'd love to get a new knife, and yours looks just terrific! Thanks! Blessings, Marie
Hey, Marie! The one I’m using here is the Santoku knife, in the Mito series. I love it. I still won’t let David use it!
Evening Carter. You are such an inspiration. I did the dry canning potatoes; what a saving grace for the potato! Can sweet potatoes be done as well. We had a nice sweet potato crop this year. 15 lbs of stew meat are waiting to be transformed into your ready meal base. Such a great idea. Where did you purchase your lime green colander? Thank you for all you do.
Hey, Judy! A few folks here have tried sweet potatoes, but the ones who have reported back said the end product is not good. I was able to store last year's sweet potatoes for 11 months. In August, I sliced and roasted the last of them, then flash froze and vacuum packed. That's the best way I've been able to find to preserve sweet potatoes. The green colander was bought at TJMaxx 10 or 12 years ago. Thanks for being here, Judy!
Hi there Carter (what a cool name BTW) my name is Matt from Australia 🇦🇺 and I’ve been watching your videos for a few months now and you have inspired me to buy a pressure cooker. I bought the best one that I could afford, a Hawkins ‘Big Boy’ 22 litre. Probably not as good as the All American one that you use, but decent enough I think, and four dozen ‘2 Cup’ Ball Mason jars.
I haven’t used it at this point on account of that I’m a bit time poor atm, but I’m really looking forward to doing some canning and will be following your advice.
Thanks for the informing videos that you post. Thales care, from down under. 👍
Welcome, Matt! I’m so glad to have you here. Your new canner sounds perfect. I’m so pleased to be here with you from the beginning of your canning journey. Keep me posted!
I made this except I swapped out the potatoes for peas. A few less carbs. came out very good. I will make this one again.
Yay! Thanks so much for reporting back!
Good morning Carter from sunny Queensland Australia. I’ve been binge watching your channel since I stumbled across it a couple of weeks ago. The only thing I have ever canned is strawberry jam, but I’ve just ordered a proper water bath canner, and have asked my family for an AA910 for Christmas. I’ve also been slowly adding to my jar collection in readiness. It’s not very easy to find these things here, I have to order online.
Would you mind doing a video (or a pinned post, if that is easier) of recipe books you recommend please. I have the Complete guide to home canning by USDA, The Ball complete guide to home preserving, The all new Ball book of canning and The complete guide to canning by Diane Devereaux. I also ordered Not your mama’s canning book by Rebecca Lindamood but it’s currently out of stock. I ask this as these hasn’t been a recipe that you’ve made that I haven’t like the look of!
Welcome, Angela! I'm so excited for you to be jumping into your canning journey. The two Ball books are excellent. Pressure Canning for Beginners and Beyond is another favorite: amzn.to/3S90e9C. If you are interested in canning jams, jellies, chutneys, etc with less sugar, this one is also great (if you are able to get Pomona's Pectin in Australia): amzn.to/491ErqA
Thank you!
Food choppers work amazing. It would shave off a lot of work for you. Love your channel. I learn new recipes from you. I make the canned potatoes often. We appreciate you. ❤
Thank you, td! So glad to have you here. I have a food chopper. I should probably use it more often! Thanks for the reminder.
I can’t wait to do this. When I heat it up, I am going to add a couple of tablespoons of frozen peas.
Perfect!
I was a little intimidated at first, but plunged right in today after putting it off almost a week 🤗
The taste is magnificent ... absolutely love the flavors ✌🏼
Hooray! I'm so glad you got it done and enjoy it! Thanks so much for letting me know!
Also, realized I had used all my potatoes "dry canning", so I used some dry canned potato chunks, diced...😋 I cannot tell the difference.
Brilliant!@@Lalec122
This looks so goooood? Thank you and I hope to can this soon. Do you think you need a quart for two people or a pint and a half?
Hey, Judy! I think that with a side salad and a chunk of bread, a pint and a half would be good. My husband and I split a pint with a really big kale salad, and both of us ran out of stew too soon. 😉
I LOVED this. I'm a complete baby newbie to canning. I have no tools or supplies yet. 😅 I'm excited to get into it. I do have a question or 2... what's the difference between water bath canning and pressure caning?... I know it's 2 different styles of canning but is one better than the other? Or why choose 1 over the other? Does that make any sense? 😂 thank you ps.... I also would love more "meal in a jar " recipes and instructions. Plz 😊😊
Welcome, Tamilou! I'm happy to have you here. Water bath canning is primarily used for high acid foods (or acidified foods), such as fruits and pickles, jams and jellies, salsas, etc. Pressure canning is used for low acid foods like meats, beans, veggies, soups, etc. If you have a large stockpot, you can use that as a water bath canner for small batches. Here's a video on how to do that: czcams.com/video/t70FmC2zlSg/video.html. You can also use most any pressure canner as a water bath canner, as long as it is tall enough to cover your jars with a couple inches of water at a rolling boil. If you are looking at pressure canner, be sure that the one you buy says it is a pressure canner, NOT a pressure cooker. If it's in your budget, I love this one for beginners: czcams.com/video/Ex-hu7zbZYQ/video.html Hope that helps!
I made this and found out that we don't like thyme!! I gave a couple of pints to a neighbor to see if maybe they like it. I haven't heard back from them. I'm trying to avoid throwing it away. I will make this again, but without the thyme. lol My husband bought me a Presto electric canner after watching your video. I love it so much , I've been hunting for items to can. lol
Oh my! Tough time to figure out you don't like thyme after all the work. Have fun with your new canner!
@@growandpreserve Thank you so much for replying!! I greatly appreciate it!! I don't very often send messages. You're the only one that has taken the time to reply out of the 4. Thank you again!! And I do love my canner!!
I cannot find the recipe and measurements linked to this yummy video. It looks making

Hello, newest friend!🎉 What a wonderful recipe for a meal in a jar. QUESTION: I'm curious why you don't use a food chopper? As someone with a neurological disability that makes standing for lengthy chopping sessions impossible, but I still love good food. Have a blessed and beautiful day. LUCRETIA 🇺🇸
Welcome, Lucretia! I find the hand chopping works better in videos because my chopper can be quite loud. Absolutely feel free to use a chopper or a food processor. Whatever makes it easiest for you is the right way to go.
I like the silicone mat under your cutting board. I don’t see that on your Amazon list. What exactly is that? Thanks
I love this thing. Unfortunately, it was a gift years ago from my daughter. She got it from Bed, Bath and Beyond, but I no longer see it on their site. I can't find anything similar on Amazon either. Sorry!
Can you tell me where you found that nice non skid under your cutting board? Thanks Mary W
Hey, Mary! Isn't it awesome? My daughter gave it to me years ago for Christmas. I believe she got it at Bed, Bath and Beyond. I just took a quick look at their site and Amazon, but I don't see it. Sorry!
Thank you for taking the time to look, so kind! Great gift from your daughter! The search begins 😀
Oh wow. My husband is sitting here listening to this. He said " you're gonna make this right?"
I love that, Echols! I hope he loves it!
Your reply to your husband should have been, You make it, I will be your assistant.
I’ve made a lot of Shepherds pie as well as cottage pie for a monastery where I cooked for 7 years. I’m wondering if you kept the potatoes separate from the vegetables and meat. And add the potatoes to the jar last so it looks more like a cottage pie.
You could do that, as long as you par-cook the potatoes. Otherwise you have a solid chunk of starch.
I’m going to try that.
Near the beginning, you were pouring the canned mixture into ramekins. But then you didn't show what you did after. Did you top them with mashed potatoes then bake them further? Or did you just heat them? I'm curious.
Popped them into the microwave and dug in!
🥰🥰
You should use your "chopper box" to speed up dicing your veggies! 😁
So true! I always forget it.
So I used lamb. I tried to get every bit of fat out of this. It’s in the canner now but I think it’s going to fail because of the fat. 😭😭😭 Update: All seven jars sealed! Must’ve been the great instructor. Thank you Carter. 🥰
Woohoo! I hate that you had a couple hours of worry. As you discovered, there's no need to get all of the fat out. Can't wait to hear what you think when you try it!
I really want to get this on my shelf, but don’t have time to do it all in one day. Would it be possible to break it up into a couple of different sessions?
Sure. You could stop just before you put it in jars. Put the pot in the fridge. The next day you could reheat, load the jars and can. You could even chop the onions, carrots and celery the day before you start.
@@growandpreserve thank you!! I bit off a little more than I could chew today and my meat is thawed. Lol
Happens to the best of us!@@brandibizzle3676
I don't own a pressure canner, could I waterbath this dish, if so, how long for please. Watching from the UK.
Welcome, Jean! I am not an expert on water bath canning low acid foods, but the Amish community here in the US does. So I don’t steer you wrong, search Google for Amish water bath canning chart. You will want to use meat times for this recipe. Hope that helps!
@@growandpreserve Thankyou so much. I will go and take a look.
I love watching your videos.
Thanks so much, Jean!@@jeanhelliwell8160
Do you think that I can make that recipe using ground pork? I live on a farm, we butchered our pig and have plenty of ground pork in the freezer.
Definitely, just drain the fat well, so you don't end up with a greasy sauce.
Why do you cook the veggies?
Primarily because I want the veggies to really become part of the meat/sauce. It's what makes this such a great dish. You'll notice I put the potatoes in late because I do not want them to dissolve into the dish.
Someone should gift you a 14 in 1Multifunctional Food Chopper for Christmas..🙂
Funny! I actually have one! There’s something a bit peaceful about all the chopping. My husband thinks I’m crazy. 😜
Carter.... You're playlist is getting FULL... Do I have to use an expensive red wine... Or will the less expensive work as well?? The reason I ask is because I don't drink wine and therefore know NOTHING about it... Thank You in advance 🤗🤗🙏 Kendra
Less expensive is fine. Just get a Malbec or a Merlot, but it can be cheap.
Thank you so very much, I am not a fan of single ingredient canning. Blessings 🌟🙏
You’re welcome, Tracy! Hope you enjoy it!
Sorry no sound on the last 3 videos, I watched toutube channel videos all day and just got done watching a Hallmark movie that was sxellent, and now I tried your but no sound.
Suzanne, if you have any ideas, I’m happy to adjust something. I’ve had a couple other folks in the past year with the same issue, but I have no idea why it happens.
I have had that happen to me on occasion while using earbuds. I typically use only one side at a time (left ear/right ear) so I get twice the listening time. Occasionally, I’ll come across a video that I’ll need to switch earbuds on because the sound will only come out of one earbud 🤷🏻♀️. Not sure of your situation, but thought I’d share in case your situation is similar.
@@mbmiller1956 I wasn't using ear buds or headset.
Do you use the CZcams app or the internet? One of the two has the sound not turned on.
If it's not turned on why is the sound on for every other youtufe channels@@judyblaise1639
Do you need the COAL? I've never seen that before.
The coal??
Sorry wrong video lol!
I don’t see your vinegar bottle in your store.
Do you mean the oil and vinegar bottles in the cabinet next to the stove? I have a love/hate relationship with them. They work well for oils, but they have not been a winner for vinegars because the vinegars form mothers, and it gets to be a clogged up mess. The green glass bottles I use for oils are no longer available on Amazon. These are the clear ones I use for vinegars: amzn.to/47QZfje

Thank you dear. Please get to the recipe a little quicker, we all know and dislike the prep.
Hey, Ed! You know that if I get to it quicker, someone else will be upset that I skipped the prep! 🤷♀ Please feel free to increase the playback speed of the video or just skip through the prep. Glad to have you here, Ed!
Looks delicious
Thanks, Stacey!
