WELCOME to our CZcams channel at Kowalski Mountain!
Philip dreamed of a place where he could build a self-sufficient life. A little piece of land where he could hunt, work the land, and build a home that he could be proud of. His dream began to become a reality when he purchased the first 40 acres of Kowalski Mountain in 2016.
I met Philip online in 2018. I grew up on a small, hobby farm. While I loved the outdoor lifestyle, I was stuck in my urban life far from my roots and the lifestyle I loved.
It's hard to deny that Philip and I were meant for each other. We make a great team! We seem to be able to accomplish more than the average couple in record time. Since our Kentucky dream is built in short workcations, our ability to get things done is a huge asset.
This is our journey, the victories, and the challenges.
We hope you'll subscribe & become a part of our CZcams family! 🔔 Hit the bell to never miss a video! Thank you so much for visiting!

I love this version this way as well.
Awesome! Appreciate you watching!
Great video. As to getting your canned pumpkin off the shelf without feeding it to the chickens, you should try making it all into puree and then dehydrate it. The few recipes I make that call for pumpkin puree, never call for an entire can so I buy a large can (usually 2 knowing I will be dehydrating) then dehydrate what I don't use. It reconstitutes very easily and I can reconstitute only what I need.
That’s a great idea! Thanks for watching.
Thank you for hosting this! I'm loving learning from everyone
Ahhhhh thank you. We all appreciate you watching our videos. One more week… next Saturday January 27
I have learned so much and love home canned meats and broths. For years all I canned was green beans. cucumbers and jams. All I have learned from you tube people has really made canning so much fun.
Ohhhh that’s great! It’s wonderful to inspire people to try new things!!
Thank you, Loved to see your flops, I'm not the only one. Love Canuary
lol… oh no… you certainly are not! Appreciate you watching!
i am just starting out canning! and i am only 69!! i DH a LOT of food, but this is great! thanks for being a part of this!!
That’s awesome! Never too late to learn something new!
I agree with you, my number one item I will not can again is corn. I love watching Canuary Videos. Thanks for sharing.
Appreciate you watching! New CANUARY videos every Saturday this month.
Best frozen right off of the cob.
Thank you for showing how not to burn your hand when emptying a jar. Very, very useful!
Appreciate you watching!
We learn from experience-good and bad. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you so much for sharing!! I’m looking forward to learning more from you about canning as I’m a total newbie!! Thanks for setting up this collab!
Ohhhh awesome! Glad you could join us. Appreciate you watching!
Thanks for sharing your preferences I agree I have tried things in the past on won’t can the things we didn’t like either but I enjoy finding new recipes and ideas thanks again
Yes! It’s a learning process for sure!
I liked hearing about the soup and chili. Great idea make more and save some in your bottles for later. My favorite is the canned meat too.
Glad you enjoyed it! Appreciate you watching.
I agree! Everybody should make their own broth!!
Yes! So much better!
Another one you may like if done differently is the raw soup. Mix all in and then put in the jar and add broth. So if you fill jar 3/4 of food and the rest the way of broth and add 1/2 tsp of salt and it makes it so much better.
It’s been so long I don’t remember if we put water in them or not. I don’t think m we did.
Thank you for sharing! I think we all have canned some things that we didn’t care for and I definitely agree with you on canning corn!
I totally agree! It’s a learning experience.
Just found your site and so pleased!! Exciting to watch the Canuary session!!
Thank you! So glad you found us. Appreciate you watching
Flops are ok, if I can use them another way. Thanks for posting.
We usually still eat them. One year we didn’t like the variety of green beans we grew. I had done over 60 pints…. We’re still eating them, seem to be never ending!
Good information here. Will be taking this into mind for future reference
Thank you, appreciate you watching
Thank you for sharing your flops those are rarely shared it seems.I canned broth for the first time and will definitely be doing it again.
You’re right, we see these videos but never the outcome. Hope you enjoy the broth! Thanks for watching!
I love canning & love discovering new channels, so this is a win win!
So glad you found us! Appreciate you watching
The soups being cooked first is a great idea. I assumed it would disintegrate in the. Canner. Will be doing this!
I love it this way. Some people undercook it prior to canning, but i make it as normal.
Hi Barbara Sue! I am a newbie to your channel! Sooo very excited to learn new things from you professionals! Also, my first Canuary!!!! SOooooo excited🤗
Welcome to the Kowalski Mountain family! I hope that CANUARY is inspiring you!
Ketchup is a tricky thing. I have tried many recipes, usually the clove taste is to strong. I ended up with a Mrs. Wages mix and it was the best recipe so far. Everyone liked it. Thank you for the video.
I will watch the recipes for Clove. Thanks for the tip!
Great video……it’s my first time here. I love orange marmalade also. I can it every year. I will try and find this Canuary videos. Thanks for sharing! 👩🍳
Good to hear people have success making it. Can’t wait to try. Appreciate you watching
Came for canuary and subscribed. I like when videos give the good the bad the ugly
Welcome to the Kowalski Mountain Family. Appreciate you watching
Wonderful video. You have given me so many ideas. I keep my bag in the freezer for my scraps. It keeps me in a pantry full of broth and it did not cost me very litte.
Wonderful! Love hearing that.
On the topic of marmalades and jams, I love having orange or lemon or kumquat or mandarin or grapefruit marmalade on the shelf. Add to that me apricot jam or my apple butter, and in addition to putting them on toast or biscuits, is to cook with them. If I am braising fish or chicken, or pork chops or pork tenderloin, topping them with a jam or marmalade creates a very tasty main course. Generally, the liquid I use to braise is beer or white wine or maybe some champagne that went flat rather than water. What a great way to use my jam or marmalade!
Love these ideas!! Thanks for sharing.
A lot of good information. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for saving me time, money, and effort by not canning those things that you mentioned as flops. 🙂 I agree that some things just don't do as well as others.
So that’s I could be a help! Appreciate you watching!
Thank you for the video. I made enchilada sauce this past summer and loved the convenience as you will. I did chicken broth today. Happy canning.
Sounds like you’ve been busy! Appreciate you watching.
Thanks for all the information.
Appreciate you watching!
I have done pears that stayed firm and have had some go mushy. The pears I picked myself were awesome. Lots of great information I will use in this video. Will watch for video on beans. I have canned some but not happy with some. Thanks for a great video! Off to find Canuary!
Ahhhj thank! Appreciate you watching!
I did the food mill applesauce once and I felt the same way. It was like baby food. I LOVE canned chicken too! It's so good and nothing like canned chicken you buy from the store (which reminds me of tuna). Thanks for the video. it was interesting to hear what you liked and didn't like.
I’m glad we’re not the only one! I’m thinking about making it into fruit leather. Thanks for watching!
Yes yes fruit leather is perfect for hiking and for your bug out bags!!
Awesome
😊
Thank you for sharing this useful information.
My pleasure. Appreciate you watching
I’ve been searching for other Canuary collabs and the only one popping up in my search was Leisa’s. I’m watching that one, but I love watching canning videos so I’m glad you showed up in my feed today. Last year I overused a stick blender in one of my applesauce batches, I did not know applesauce could get so fine. 😂.The texture was off putting at first, but when it’s chilled I don’t mind it. The apples I used were from Azure and were just labeled juicing apples. They were all the same, but I have no idea what variety they were. I wish I did, because the flavor of the applesauce is amazing!
Her collab is a big one. I only learned of it when I organized my collab. A lot of creators put out individual videos as well. Denali canning is also celebrating Canuary. It seems we are not alone regarding fine applesauce! So glad you found us!
Great video. Im going to make all of youre ‘will’ can again items. Thank you so much
Ahhhh thanks… appreciate you watching! Happy canning!
I do agree with you about corn. I always freeze corn. I also can venison, we really like it
Thank you so much for watching!
Thanks for sharing! I believe the raw pack soup you said you didn't like is also a rebel canning method because you filled the jars all the way full with solids. The recommendation from the National Center for Home Food Preservation for canning soups says to fill the jars only HALFWAY with solids (veg and meat) and the rest of the way with broth or water. I learned this the hardway- when I overfilled the solids in my jars of soup I had a lot of siphoning and seal failures in the canner versus doing it the recommended way.
I didn’t know that! Mine all sealed well but I won’t be doing it again!
I really enjoy your presentations.
Glad you like them!
I use mine pumpkin for making dog treats and our dog loves it.
That’s a good idea! Thank you
Just found your site! Looking forward to seeing more! GOD bless
Thank you! 😊
First time viewing your channel Thank you for the great videos and for sharing the good and bads you have encountered.
So glad you found us! Welcome! Appreciate you watching
Great tips!
Thank you
Thank you! I totally agree, making your own broth is the best thing ever! Happy New Year!
Thanks for watching!
After watching this video I subscribed to your channel. I look forward to watching more from you. Thank you!
Ahhhhh thanks! Welcome to the Kowalski Mountain Family!
Enjoyed your video. I love canning chicken too. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you so much! Appreciate you watching.
Pumpkin is great roasted on a sheet pan (with parchment) brushed with ghee and seasoned. Good way to use what you canned that isn't sweet. It's also lower carbs than sweet potatoes and doesnt have all the oxalates. Meatloaf is not a tested/approved recipe but I have done it in wide mouth pints and it came out good. They pretty much quit testing recipes about 30y ago and yet they somehow update what they deem are safe canning times. Soups I cook I try to take out what we plan to eat before it is completely cooked and can the rest to avoid overcooked veggies. Everything is trial and error.
Many Blessings from Deborah in West Virginia!
Thank you so much for watching. Great input here in the comments.
What an amazing video! Thanks for sharing. Thank you so much for setting up the collab!!
So glad you could join us! Thanks for watching!
Try putting some of that fine textured applesauce in bbq sauce. We love it that way! But for regular applesauce, we prefer chunk too, so I freeze it.
I’m thinking about making it into fruit leather.
Just watched your video and I agree with everything that you stated! I started canning in October and am still trying to figure out what I need for long term storage and planning when “starting “ out. I am also getting ready to can beans of various kinds as it is much less and can always cook over a fire if necessary. What I would really like to see is not only canning videos but then what to do with the end product once it is canned. What to do with it if the grid goes down and we are now using our fire pits. The what’s next videos doesn’t seem to be plentiful once you have canned or dehydrated something.
I have a few Dutch oven cooking videos. Thank you for the video suggestions! Appreciate you watching .
Appreciate your input and experience with the different canning. Thank you.
Salsa, broth, and canned chicken are a couple of our pantry favorites too.
Very interested in your canning baked beans and spiced apples.
I too want to try canning enchilada sauce. We use a lot. I am also in the provess of canning beans as we use lots of those too.
I make marmalades. My kids and grandkids love them.
Thanks for the cost comparision on the lids. I never heard of reusable lids. Thanks!😊
So glad I could share with you about reusable lids. I’m using up my metal lid stash and moving towards them 100%. I’ve been stocking up over the last year buying in bulk.
Tank you for sharing your likes and dislikes. I can relate to a lot of the things you posted. I canned meatloaf not realizing it was a rebel canning project. My dog enjoyed it.. LOL. However I canned pureed pumpkin pie filling and made a great pumpkin cheese cake, cookies and bread.. My granddaughter ate her jar with a spoon.. I love canning and it is always fun to see what other's can and share recipes.
It is fun to see what people are canning! It’s inspiring!
I am new to your channel. Thank you for sharing the good and bad of canning foods. I agree with you on the pumpkin, it takes so much more. You should definately do the beans and the ketchup. We use those two alot. Happy Canning!
Can’t wait to try new projects. Thank you for watching!
Great video!!
Thank you. Appreciate you watching!
Definitely do the marmalade and the beans! I do both of these and if I can do it, anybody can lol. In regards to the Rob pack soups I wonder if maybe you could use them with your Dutch oven and turn it into a beef stew? Also, what kind of canning times do you use on the already prepared suits?I think I’m going to be with you on this one. Thanks for a great video! On a final note, you can add your jams and jellies to your oatmeal! You can have tons of different varieties of flavors and you won’t get tired of it ha ha
Lots of great ideas! Anytime you pressure can something go with the highest canning time, anything containing meats would follow the guidelines for meats. 75 minutes for pints, 90 minutes for quarts is typical. I can’t wait to do marmalade!
Thanks was getting ready to raw pack chicken soup , so I will cook then can .
Some people may like it but I didn’t. Hope you w joy your soup! Appreciate you watching
Thanks for sharing. First time on your challenge. Looking forward to getting to know you
Welcome! Appreciate you watching!
Everything you said about pumpkin is true. However, it is one of my always have it on the shelf canned goods. I don't have freezer space. I feed the pumpkin chunks to the dog. I love all things Pumpkin Spice and am not willing to pay for commercially canned pumpkin. I've trained myself to open the jar a day ahead of baking day, blend it, then let it sit in a filter lined colander in the fridge overnight. My pumpkin bread recipe includes water. I substitute the liquid I drained off.
Sounds like a good compromise.
Do glad to hear about what you didn't like and why. Thank you.
Hopefully I can spare some people…. Or at least they go in knowing! I have 60 pints of green beans in a variety we don’t like…. I don’t think we’ll ever finish them!
Thank you for sharing your canning experience with us. I'm glad you didn't cut anything so we could see your trials & triumphs. As a new canner I'm relieved that things may not go as expected but don't give up. Last Canuary we made your Salisbury steaks & it is our favorite now. I also appreciate you all not only showing us how to can, but showing us recipes to use our canned goods. LOVE CANUARY!
So glad to hear that! I’ll have to look into Salisbury steak.
You have inspired me to start making my own brth!
Oh wow exciting! My broth video will be released next Saturday! Im featuring two kinds of broth and two cooking methods. Thank you for watching.
The best orange marmalade is made with shredded yellow squash!! I promise you it will blow your mind how good it is and nobody will ever know it is squash!!
That’s interesting. Never would have thought that. Thanks for watching
Both yellow squash and zucchini can very easily take on fruit flavors! One of my favorite things to can is pineapple zucchini!! Chunked or crushed is fabulous!!
@peggywinslow408 I w heard of zucchini pineapple
Thanks I subscribed Just found you Ketchup Sara at traditional Living Homestead has a great ketchup video Lots of tips (And tomato broth is an excellent canned “leftover”)
Yes! I’ve seen Sarah’s video, can’t wait to try. Thanks for joining the Kowalski Mountain family.
Everyone enjoys different things
Oh yes! Some may like my dislikes! Appreciate you watching!
good info
Glad you think so! Thanks for watching!
I just loved your video and new subscriber I can’t wait for you to show us how to can pinto beans that’s something I’ve been wanting to learn , thank you so much for sharing your likes and dislikes .
Thank you so much. Welcome to the Kowalski Mountain family! My bean video is scheduled to come out on January 20th…
I am going to try the soup cooked then canned.
Hope you like it! Happy canning
Great video
Appreciate you watching!
like you, I don't particularly care for canned pumpkin. It's really healthy for dogs and for chickens though...and they love them!!! I also like some texture in my applesauce.
Then I won’t feel bad if I decide to use it that way 😂
I want to add more canned soups to my pantry.
It’s so convenient!
I've got to make my own broth!
Yes! It’s delicious!
Watching to learn about canning.
Welcome! Lots of canning videos all month!
Check out Suttons Daze, she has hundreds of videos and started Canuary a few years back.
@@miarosie I didn’t know that when I started this. I found @suttondaze when I decided to participate in Canuary.
Thank you for sharing. I’ve had a few flops myself. Those are the teaching moments you remember.
Oh yes! For sure! Thanks for watching
This was an awesome video. I have some of the same dislikes as you. Thanks for sharing.
Glad it was helpful! Appreciate you watching!
Amen to the not canning corn. Love frozen but I have a whole batch of corn for soup.
It was terrible! We pushed through! Thanks for watching!
Love love you video. This year I want to make my own broth. I Love my own canned chicken tto.
Ahhh thanks! My broth making video drops on Saturday morning! Making two kinds of broth, two ways!
Awesome video! Canned corn was the only way I used to eat it besides off the cob, however, my grandma always made it as creamed corn. Homemade salsa goes like candy around here too!
I did actually like the creamed corn method! Thanks for watching.
I think my biggest flop is carrots. To mushy for me. Thank you
I haven’t canned carrots yet. Maybe this year. I’ll heed your warning and start small.
on the soups that you make and can, which USDA, Ball or So Easy to Preserve recipes are you making?
I do my own soup recipes. It’s not from any of those cookbooks. Appreciate use you watching
@@KowalskiMountain usually that’s considered unsafe as only Tested recipes are shown to work safely
When you do la A large batch a vegetable soup do you have to process it the 75 minutes for pints. Do you have video on canning soup?
I don’t have a soup canning video yet. I’ve never canned vegetable soup. If it has meat in it, I’d do 75 minutes for pints. For just vegetables no meat broth, I’d look at the vegetables individually and process for the longest processing time.
Thank you!
I love to have chicken canned. I like soup canned.
It’s so good! Thanks for watching!
Can you share your spiced apple recipe please?
It’s in the USDA Complete Canning Guide. Page 2-7
