I haven’t even watched this video yet but had to pause and thank you for posting. Accidentally read some of the sad news in our world and was feeling overwhelmed until I saw your thumbnail in your robe and turban. You took me right back to center, thank you for being shamelessly you. The world’s news can feel scary but the moon still rises, children are still dancing and Jamerill is still preparing food for her loved ones and talking to tomatoes . With all my heart and utmost sincerity, thank you for bravely sharing yourself with this world.
What a wonderful post - I smiled while reading it, thank you ❤
That was a nice thing to say.
In my twenties no kids no significant other but these seriously are my fav videos 😅🩵🫶🏼
Yay, I am so very glad! Thanks for hanging out with us. ❤
Same
Same here, who can explain it! 😀😀😀
Omg Same ! Lol ! Glad to know I’m not the only one! Cheers from NYC y’all !
I love love that we are ALL friends with this gorgeous lady ❤I’m a great grandma from Australia 🇦🇺
Jamerrill! Oh my goodness you have accomplished so much in your young beautiful life!! I certainly need to rethink when I say I’m tired! I just turned 56 on February 17th and I have to say I’m ashamed of myself! I’m sad I’ve wasted so much time! But I will do something to change thanks to your energy and peaceful soul! I want too!! God bless you with many more years of encouraging and teaching all of us! 🙏🏻❤️
I found you maybe 8 yr.s ago making Freezer Meals. I loved that you got elbow deep in there and made enough to feed your small village. You had my respect from day one! I really just love your "can do" attitude. And when Momma needs a break she takes one. You make a plan and you do it. I think that that has been very inspirational for us all. But much more than that Jamerrill, you are humble, kind, generous, down to Earth and forever malleable to whatever life has to throw at you. And I truly aspire to be more like you in every way that matters. 💋So back at ya!
You are so kind in your responses to folks who make sideways comments to you about what you have and how easy it must be. You have done your time, paid your dues, and earned everything you have achieved. You have an attitude of grace and gratefulness. Clearly what you're doing works. You do not need to justify the good things you've earned. Keep it up sister! 💙
In a subsequent video, Becky from Acre Homestead said she regretted not pealing her tomatoes. Since they are frozen they should be easy to peel as they start thawing. I dehydrate my tomato peels, powder them and then reconstitute for tomato paste.
I believe Becky said she regretted not straining the tomato sauce when she made ketchup. She said she didn't like the texture in that form, but in just tomato sauce to use in recipes, it was fine. She also removed the seeds and skins when making the recent batches of BBQ sauce. As far as canning the sauce, it doesn't affect the process. You just can it like you would strained sauce. You might try a small batch just to see before doing 350 lbs of something you don't like. :)
I use the powder to make "instant" tomato soup in a mug
Jamerrill, i found your channel recently within the last year. I appreciate your mama humor, your work ethic and your passion for your family. You absolutely deserve everything that is coming your way in life. New kitchens, new bathrooms, you and your family truly deserve it. You truly are the mother I wish I had, and aspire to be for my 2 year old son.
Isn’t it amazing what you learn from comments and others in general? I watched a lady cut brownies with a pizza cutter last night and thought, “how am I in my mid forties, been cooking since I was a kid, and never thought to do that?” 😊
I use a pizza cutter for a lot of things. My son doesn't like the crust on his sandwiches I use the pizza cutter to cut the crust off. Makes it easier plus I can cut closer to the edge too.
Unreal! Though isn't it! Yay for learning as we live!
... I watched a lady cut pizza with scissors.. and thought, how did I get to 68 and that never crossed my mind... haha
That is so true! I'm 47,been cooking my whole life as well but sometimes I'll see a video and think how the heck have I never thought of that!
@@beckymuir75 my granddaughter doesn't like crust either,your comment just taught me a new trick lol
Hi Jamerrill, I've been canning my own homegrown food for years now and I have tried soo many different methods for tomatoes and I 100% regret the year I didn't remove the skins!! So I would definitely recommend taking them from the freezer in batches, rinsing the skins off in water and putting them in the roasters whole without skins. It's worth that small step 💕. One other tip is go through your rings and recycle any with rust after each Canning session. Because you don't store the jars with rings you don't need that many. You really only need enough for your 5 canners (max). The glass measuring cup is a great tip, especially with jam cuz you can hang it on the pot...no mess 🥰. You're doing great by way, I've never done mandarins and now I want too!! xo
There's a little machine people run their tomatoes through to remove the skins and seeds. I've seen hand crank and ones that attached to food mixers, the amount this girl does it may be worth Jemerrill looking into one. I'm always disappointed with myself when I don't take the time to remove the skins too🥰
I agree. Once you remove them from the freezer, you can remove almost all the skins by running under water. I also like to cut in half and squeeze as much of the seeds out as I can. This depends on the ripeness and variety of tomato, but I use mostly romas so it works well for me. I just don’t like the seeds in my tomato sauce or marinara.
I leave the skins on with no issues which makes me wonder what the regret was for you ... please elaborate.
My best advice ( coming from someone who raised 9 kids with a huge garden and processed a lot of food from it) the one one piece of equipment that I never regretted investing in was my electric tomato strainer. ( peeled and strained the tomatoes for canning)loved loved loved it! We have retired from all that since our children are all grown but I’ve passed it on to one of my children. They love it.
Yes!!!!!! I used to hand turn all those tomatoes to juice them like my granny did and then I learned about the electric version and wow made my canning days so much faster!
I picked up the food attachment for my kitchen aid and it is a game changer. It make canning excess cherry tomatoes worth the hassle.
I think my dad had a hand tomato strainer thing ?????
I notice Becky from Acre Homestead also uses her food mill to strain out the skins and seeds when she cans tomatoes.
I’m 40, and growing up my family had a 1/2 acre garden, plus my mom bought from local people that sold extra veggies to can. My granny did a giant garden and canned her whole life. She’s 84 now and only does occasional jams/jellies now. But she has canned veggies & deer meat that’s ten years old or more. She pulls them out for big dinners. My husband grew up in the “city” and never had gardening / canning. He says my granny’s canned items are some of the best food he’s ever had. This man has traveled the world before meeting me. You are giving your family such a wonderful experience getting to help garden & canning. I remember doing THIRTY (30) - 5 gallon buckets of sour kraut one year. And tomatoes by the bushel being canned. We also grew our own beef & pork. They cut & packaged it. *freezer paper anyone?*
My kids are grown and I have 5 grandchildren...but how I love just watching you for entertainment....BETTER than any tv program!! God bless you ...wish I had just a little of your energy :)
Tasha, I think getting to the age where we have our grandchildren in double-edged. That energy thing. We have our beautiful grandbabies, but not that great energy to do all the things we once did with our children.
I am in my 20s as well and live alone but have been watching you since around the time you moved into the forest house ( maybe 5-6 years now?) so early twenties back then. Went back and watched all your videos since your first one as well at some point. Hope you stay healthy and happy and I can watch your videos for another 9 more years at least!
An aspiring culinary student could do a whole internship, just in your kitchen! 🙂 🙂 Congrats on your upcoming CZcamsversary.
Did you save your pork juice to can? It would make a very good soup base.
I've watched you for about 3 years now. My late son would call you the yeehaw lady. I miss watching you with him together. ❤️
You are beautiful inside and out. You have such a calming demeanor and I just enjoy watching you so much. I found you when Becky went to see you with her mom. I am most grateful and hate I did not find you sooner. I missed so many years....God bless you Jamerrill!
The reason you didn't get the amount of applesauce that you thought you would was because the peeler you used wasted about 1/4 of the apple. I usually applaud the Kitchen Aid products. but either it wasn't set right or it isn't a very efficient attachment. If the same thing happens with the tomatoes, you'll be disappointed with the outcome again. This last year I got the best results from my tomatoes in 50 years of canning because I used a different method. The only thing I wasted (gave to the chickens) was the stem end that I cut out -- and of course, any bruised and bad spots. Then I quartered them all and brought them to a boil in my largest stock pot. (A lot of stirring) Boiled them for 10 minutes, put everything in my Kitchen Aid blender and liquefied peels, seeds and all. Poured them into jars with the right amount some salt and hot water bathed them. Sauce is thick and ready to make BBQ sauce, ketchup, spaghetti sauce, Pizza Sauce or marinara sauce. My work time was cut by 2/3 and the product is wonderful. Plus practically no waste. Try it with some of your 380 pounds.
I come from a very big family, 5 sisters and two brothers and your videos remind me of home and how warm it was and still is even though most of us got married and moved out. But the thing I learnt from you is how much my mom enjoys preparing all this food and taking care of us. We always beg her to set down and relax, let us take care of her but now I understand that this is what she enjoys the most , taking care of her family! Thank you Jamerrill !
Congratulations! Thank you! Know that I support and totally understand how you take care of your family and please ignore the hateful ones who obviously do not watch a video to the end. ❤️🙏
You are a true inspiration, Jamerrill! We now cook 500 grams of macaroni and cheese at once for 3 people and have left-overs for the next day, for 1. Aldi in Belgium sells a pre-made 4-cheese sauce (you gotta do what you gotta do). And it's a true hit here at home. We put some ham cubes in, because that is how we do mac & cheese in this country. Done. We normally just made enough for dinner, but you have to think ahead. My mom comes from a family of 10 children (she is 77, I'm 50). I grew up with plenty of people around. I am an only child though, but have a large family mentality. LOL!
My nine-month-old is recovering from RSV and she wants to marathon nurse. So happy with a long video to keep me company. Thank you, Jamerrill!
As someone who lives alone in her 30s, with multiple jobs, I appreciate these videos very much! I do freezer meals very often because you've showed me how easy and efficient they are.
Another easy sausage meal: ground sausage, alfredo sauce, and English muffins make a quick and easy spin on biscuits and gravy ❤️
So we have been growing and canning our food for years. We are a family of 4 but we often can together with my mom and sister to make sure we all have enough on our shelves for a year which is a total of 11 people. I would say in tomato products alone (diced tomatoes, tomato sauce, spaghetti sauce, tomato soup, soup bases, tomato juice etc) we easily have 3-400 quarts per year. Last year between the 3 families we grew 750 tomato plants. Hope that helps with numbers.
I’ve been with you since even all those years ago . Seeing those almost a decade ago videos was precious! You know people may criticize your massive kitchen but I look at it that you have earned every good roomy inch and thing about it . After all you are a food creator and you feed a lot of people everyday three meals every day . I figure there are times now that with your community /business that there are times that another sink would come in handy or at least one of those commercial type sinks . That’s what you need to have . Ha ! Folks I cook a lot too from scratch and I also can up food now too and I have a small regular U shaped little tiny kitchen . It’s a hassle some days so I get needing extra room in order to do projects and stuff. So I’m happy ,Jamerrill ,that you have your gorgeous large kitchen . I love the layout of it and that huge bar/countertop where you put your big 15/22? quart cookers on is perfect for you as people that don’t use those cookers don’t understand they are huge and take up a lot of space so people need to be aware all those huge canners and cookers , large pots and pans etc take a lot of room to use them and to store them .
I appreciate all that you do I think your a amazing Godly woman that has helped so many people because your temperament is so relaxing and caring and the way you show your love for your family members is precious and I believe that it helps others to think ,hmmm, maybe I need to be more patient and show my kids more tenderness and be more loving because trust me the world eats up your children. There’s so much pressure in our children’s lives these days especially kids in public schools ..they are being taught all kinds of stuff in school that’s not great for them things I believe should be the parents doing it ,but that’s just my humble opinion .ha But in all honesty I appreciate that your showing others the kindness you display to your children cause your busy but yet you take the extra time to explain something to them . While your doing that your encouraging young Mamas out there to do that with their kids . I wish I had been more like that with my kids , I was a good Mama but I can remember a few times when I could have been a little less irritated acting when I had to help one of them when I was busy etc but who doesn’t have a few of those moments 😅 ?! I love my kids with all my heart and they know it and they love me and their Dad the same way . Our Grandchildren do get a lot of tender loving care from us everyday as we get the privilege to see them every weekday after school and sometimes they get to spend the night with us especially on weekends etc . What a joy they are to have in our lives ! God has been so good to us and we love our family with all of our hearts .So everyone all I can say is you can’t ever shower too much love on your family as the world gives them so much unkindness that the love you you show to them gives them relief to their hearts to know at least they have you in their life to give them that unconditional love and always teach them that God is always there like that for them too and that God’s love is unconditional and that He is always there for them too! Blessings 💕
Use the immersion blender on your tomatoes, use garlic and salt and pepper. You could use this as a bae for spaghetti sauce, or chili, or whatever you want !
I always read the tomato skins can make the sauce bitter. Since they're frozen, the skins should slide off as they thaw. But what I did was buy the Kitchenaid Fruit and Vegetable strainer attachment. It makes quick work of the tomatoes and if you want you can use the leftover skins/seeds to make other things. It's also great for applesauce! Cook the apples with the skins and seeds then process it through the strainer.
I canned my tomatoes like Becky did but pulled the skins off. They come off so easy when they are frozen. I did her onion, garlic tomato sauce and my family absolutely love it!! I loved how easy it was to do!! Can't wait to see your video!! 💖💖💖
There are only two of us in the house, no kids and I love your videos. My massive meal planning is maybe I’ll make two or three meals for the freezer. But they are certainly very yummy and convenient when I want to have something good to eat when I’ve been working all day. I love the grace and kindness you show people who are negative Nellies or are less than positive when commenting. You definitely have made lots of massive freezer meals and your baby kitchen and most certainly deserve having two dishwashers and all that lovely space in your mega Mama kitchen which to cook for your large family.
That hutch holds s lot of weight. It's a beautiful view with all the jars of food. My late mother canned delicious stewed tomatoes. I think she would have said " can big batches at a time". That sounds like our hostess.
TIP When opening a new case of jars, cut plastic on 3 sides which will leave a flap. Then when storing canned jars in boxes, the flap will cover them and keep dust off. Happy Canning!!
My granddaughter Stella Jo, and I absolutely love your videos. Your little sayings, and your content is truly inspiring, and inspirational. Everytime Stella comes I wanna watch Jamerill mamaw! I appreciate deeply that your content is family friendly. Your a blessing to all.
It'd crazy to say out loud, but watching you is so relaxing for me! I admire all of your content.
That 1870's Homestead loves you and your channel! I've heard them mention you before, and the canning process you've been doing is really catching up to their stash! ❤️
I so miss your homeschool videos. Your channel has changed so much over the years.
I started out focusing on homeschooling. When I was just a blogger I shared about homeschooling and never had people attack my children. I could show pictures of our art time, field trips, read aloud times, and aspects of our homeschool days in general. I felt safe sharing about homeschooling while blogging. However, sharing my children on video opened them up to a host of unexpected online attacks by evil people. I had no idea the pubic ridicule my precious children would face just by me showing them enjoying a nature hike or checking out museums in DC. It is my job as their mom to do what I can to protect my children. This is why my "channel has changed so much over the years." As much as I enjoy encouraging homeschool moms (that was my channel name for awhile, if you remember 😉), I've had to shift my public focus of what I share to protect my family. It has worked well because in addition to having a heart for homeschooling, I have always had a big heart for meal stretching and big batch cooking. It was the many years leading up to my homeschool blogging days where I had to big batch cook because I was working 40 hours every weekend as a charge nurse. Or I had laid down my charge nurse position to be a "normal" homeschool mom who didn't work outside the home. It was during that season that I had to put all of my focus into stretching my $250-$350 a month grocery budget to feed from scratch my family of up to 7. We also dealt with my husband's unexpected job loss during that time which meant we had 4 months on food stamps and services. After that season we rolled into an unexpected season of the Lord showing me how to turn my blogging hobby into a business that literally bought my groceries...several years before I shared on CZcams. All that to say, the Lord has used all of those experiences to help me help families now. I can see his hand in everything. Just about *everything in life changes and develops over a ten year period*. I'm sure your life and experiences have grown during the last 10 years, too. Blessings to you and yours!
Jamirrill in her dressing gown, no makeup , keeping it real and cooking up a storm . Fantastic lady .
Thank you Jamerrill! Please be well, & many Joyful Adventures to you & your loves.
Thank you! You too!
Congratulations 9 years…….. We appreciate you……. Thank you so much for everything. You deserve everything. Blessings. 🙏💕
I'm a single mom who has 4 kids they are all grown up and have families of their own so now it's just me and I enjoy watching your videos thank you
I sincerely love watching you cook and can, it's like I'm visiting with my best friend! Thank you Jammerill for just being you!! If you ever need a guest for supper I'm available!! Lol!! That's my hopes and dreams!! As my father would say blessings on you! Pam
I’m so early this time.
Thank you for uploading this video, I really needed a Jamerril video to get me going cause I just couldn’t be bothered doing anything. Nothing I was watching was giving me “get things done while listening to videos” vibes today.
Thank you thank you thank you for uploading.
God bless you and your family. From this south Australian mumma. ❤️
Hi Jamerrill, I’ve been watching you for many years and love you and your family. I really enjoy any clips of house updates and garden projects, thanks Karen from England xx
This was so fun to see you back in the day ! You have done amazing things encouraging mamma's in their homes. Bless you !
All the food looked great. My dad always did the canning from what he grew from the garden. Tons of tomatoes, green beans, corn, and okra. I have no clue how to can. Dad would do the canning. Mom did the freezing. Can't wait to see the bathroom update. Thanks for sharing.
I just love seeing you in your mega kitchen! Such a beautiful space that’s so practical for your big cooking days! I almost never sit and watch a video this long, but with yours, I’m happy to do so and it’s very motivating 😊
I could live in that kitchen - it's so big, bright, beautiful and cheerful!
Jamerrill you are always busy as a bee. You are the queen 👑 of canning. I have used a few different names because some people years ago and still can get mean. I have watched you since you started in the farm house. The throw back photos were so great. Time goes by way to fast. The kids were so little.
.You are one of the hardest working mom's I have ever seen. Can't wait for you to get to a million subscribers. ❤️
God bless you Jamerill! I found your page a few months ago and have truly enjoyed watching all of your content. I lost my mom in January and the weeks following her death have been so hard. Watching you putter around the kitchen brings back such good memories for me. Thank you for inviting us in and letting us be your companion in the kitchen and on shopping trips. All the best to you and your family
A pinch of baking soda in the sauce cuts the acidity. I also throw in a little sugar.🍝
Thank you for the baking soda trick I’m going to try it as I can’t eat tomatoes and I love them would cherish having a spaghetti sauce again
I've been watching you for four years now. It's therapeutic, oddly enough. You've got an amazing personality, it's educational, and inspiring. ♥️
JaMarelle, I cook up my tomatoes with celery, onions,green peppers and whatever seasoning you want. I let it all cool down and put them in double bagged freezer bags. They stack nicely on there sides in the freezer 💕🙏🙏
Momma to 14 here Ive been canning awhile I like to can around 200 qts per year. 150 covers 3 jars of sauce for pasta dish per week then extra. I plant around 150 tomatoes in a hightunnel in zone 4 it produces enough for that plus fresh eating and about 100 qts of salsa which I also use for my base to things like chilli. I also dehydrated some last year to act like a paste to thicken things up. I hope this might help you. Have a blessed day!
God bless you Jamerill. You have more than earned everything you acquired, so enjoy! The hidden side to what you do only individuals like myself and god knows. You are an inspiration to me and have provided me with encouragement and guidance over the last few years! Thank you 😍
I’m learning to adjust and embrace my empty nest life but I love sitting down with a coffee and watching your videos ❤
What joy you have brought me over all these years. I remember watching those videos of y'all on the porch. Thank you for everything you have shared. Thanx again and take care..............
Wow. 9 yrs. You go girl. I've been with ya almost all of those. Loved watching y'all in the farmhouse. You ROCK. SOOOOO THANKFUL for you
We appreciate you. I have followed you for a long time. I have always looked forward to your videos and I always will. You are an awesome wife, friend and mother. And of course grandmother now too. Prayers for your continued success and adventures. Cheryl
I have been with you for at least seven of those nine years and that’s just what I can remember. It may go farther back than that. Have enjoyed this journey with you and seeing you grow.❤
I love watching your videos. I remember growing up and my grandmother had thick bath towels she kept specifically for canning. Also I believe there is a printable headspace chart on Pinterest for canning. You can also slice and can green tomatoes for fried green tomatoes in the winter. You can store your rings on metal coat hangers like you get from the dry cleaners- just unwrap the top, slide on rings and recluse. You can hang them out of the way on the shelves in the basement.
Good morning my friend! I just watched a great tomato sauce video yesterday and thought of you.😄 I hope you make time to watch this Italian Grandma before your tomato canning days as I think you, like myself will learn a lot from her. Look up ‘Buon a Petiti’ (sp?) Italian grandma makes tomato sauce and another one, canned pealed tomatoes. She has a great piece of equipment that I think would be a great kitchen tool for your family. Thanks so much for sharing yourself with us, much love from Canada! ❤😄
I just had to tell you, I saw my first ever Sharp shopper today! I was so excited, I am from NJ and we go to Lancaster PA often. It was in that area. I literally said OMG I have to tell her!
One more tip... Kneady Homestead showed dehydrating tomato skins and turning them into tomato powder which is a great flavor enhancer. I've purchased tomato powder but never made it...something on my to do list. Might be super simple with a freeze dryer.
That hutch is gorgeous & nothing better to fill it with then food you preserved for your family! Such a beautiful and simple sight!
The dish washer is a lifesaver for the washing and heating the jars
How I simplified my tomato processing.
Since you are using frozen tomatoes the skins should slip right off as they thaw. You can freeze dry the skins to make tomato powder to use to thicken your sauce.
I grow Upstate Oxheart Tomatoes. They are very large, have a soft skin that is not bitter and very few seeds. I chunk them up cook them down and just use an immersion blender to puree them. It saves running them through a food mill.
I got an Amish water bath canner that will hold 15 quarts in one run. It saves me so much time processing in my small kitchen.
I either dehydrate or freeze dry excess cherry tomatoes to make into a powder instead of using tomato paste.
I also use a large stainless steel ladle I picked up from a restaurant supply store. I prefer it over using a measuring cup.
I remember you being in your first home and you doing a new wall paper border in your living room, you had an older home, and was focused on homeschooling and producing printables. Your husband was in school (for some reason I remember mechanic school for him, but electrical at e then). My diet is far different than the mega meals, but I still love being here. Love the produce prep work. That’s where I stay in the farmers market and grocery stores. Can’t wait to see the tomato canning canning that’s right up my isle of plant based. 🤍🙌🏼 Love you being you, and being real.
Morning my friend! So excited to wake up to another video and had a “remember” to share with you. Rose Red shared in one of her videos where she’s talking about baking cakes in jars and one of the points she makes is that the jars lose their temper when put in a high/dry heat oven (or freezer) which may cause a breakage when canning. My solution is to put a cup of water in each jar when I sterilize in my oven. Just a thought I wanted to share. 😄 Have a super duper day!
Thank you so much!! This was so much fun to watch!! Have a wonderful weekend!
I freeze a lot of spaghetti sauce.
I stew the tomatoes down and use an emerson blender to purée the skin and seeds.
I just want to do it the easiest and fastest way. We don’t mind any skin in the sauce because I think it is just more nutrients and fibre. Good luck with however you decide to do your tomatoes. It will be fun to watch. I can see why you have managed to have a utube channel for 9 years… because you are enjoyable to watch and make my day a little better every time. Hope your day is going well!
You have been a good friend for years.We appreciate you and the time you spend on your videos.Thank You.
My son takes frozen tomatoes and coats them with oil and roasts them. The peelings fall right off. Then cooks them down. Excellent!
debbie here, i remember my great aunt canning sausage in balls ,,fryed then put in jar with grease from sausage,,and sealed with one of those old rubber rings and glass tops with the bale on top holding it all down..and it was really good..lots of salt but good..i dont can anymore,,just for the two of us..i made apple onion pepper relish,,and pickles or jam..looks really pretty seeing all the jars done and on the counter..
Been with you for many years. Y'all have worked so hard!!! You deserve the lovely home and magnificent kitchen you have! God bless❤❤🙏🙏xxoo
Thank you Jamerrill,lots of love from Ireland.🇬🇧💕
I have been canning spaghetti sauce with skins and seeds for years. It is by far the easiest way to go! I actually blend them up in my ninja blender so I know how many cups I'm working with, then cook and can!
God had them on and in them for a reason so it’s all good I think ha
My family call mismatched socks "cousin socks" in same family just little different 😊

Don’t stack jars on top of each other without some sort of buffer (piece of cardboard, or something else) between the jars. It can cause the jar on the bottom to unseal!
It looked like she was only stacking jars that held freeze-dried items.
It could still cause the bottom jar to inseal
Those jars aren't sealed. They are just freeze dried items. No sealing needed. 😃
I absolutely find joy in your work! Thank you for sharing ❤
I LOVE watching you , you accomplish so much in a day! I have never canned or have any desire to but, I enjoy watching you and your progress and finished products.
Hi from Williamsburg! I am older than you and I have a large family too! But most of mine are grown. My husband and I were foster parents for 15 years and we adopted 6 teens out of the system to add to our seven. Then add in the foster kids that keep in touch and all the grandkids. I have always cooked from scratch and baked and canned, dry canned, froze foods and freeze dry! But girl you are so blessed and amazing! You seem to have so much energy that I wish I had!! I am so proud of you and I need to do freezer meals! So thanks to you I will be embarking on freezer meals.
We grow a big garden and also have chickens ducks and turkeys. We go to the Amish auctions every year and can’t wait to go again soon. I can’t wait to head out your way to smart shopper store too! Thanks so much for all you have shared and taught me!
I just love watching you while i am working on my computer or while doing chores, so i really appreciate the length of your videos. You are a huge inspiration with everything you are getting done, all while remaining calm and joyful. You always give me the feeling that "everything will be OK", dont know how to better describe it. You are very calming and give reassurance❤❤❤
Good morning! To add water to my jars, I use my electric hot water pitcher. There is no extra measuring devices needed, and with the water already hot, it's a win. I really enjoy your channel, thank you and Happy Friday!
So satisfying to see all your work….I’m just watching! Thank you 😊
Love to see the process of canning. As a new canner, it is so helpful to see the methods and varieties of foods you can. Congrats on 9 years! Made it to the end.
And I love watching those older videos lil fellars and Naomi cooking so heartwarming and beautiful Moma with her soft spoken voice love it the one were y'all got the new chicken building lol Amelia so cute Thank you for all the fun videos
9 years seems like yesterday, I was going to say put all the tomatoes in the roaster pans.
You have worked very hard to get where you are, I have been watching you for about 8? Years.. well done and congratulations on the journey! God bless🙏❤
Love your and Becky canning adventures. In the UK we don't can much and having a family of four I don't really have the need but I still looking vs learning from you. Thanks for another great video. Love from Scotland xxx
Thank you Jamerrill for sharing xx I’ve learned so much from your vlogs ♥️🤗🙏
As you are having fun with your new canner, know that you can CAN the Sloppy Joe's and Spag Sauce WITH the meat in them (pressure can for meat times), and have them on your shelf ready to go. So that you just Heat and Eat... I really like having them complete on my shelf. Oh...You might want to check with Becky, but I think that she said that she wouldn't keep the skins and seeds in her sauce again. I freeze my tomatoes, when you take them out of the freezer, the skins slip right off...it's wonderful! :)
I found you in 2019. You’re still my favorite.
All my Italian grandma's and aunts all canned tomatoes by the ton and they all used a tomato mill to process the tomatoes and remove the peels and seeds. look into getting one. its a wonderful tool to make all types of tomato products and consistency. and some of them are also good for making jams and jellies too. I sent you a little paperback vintage canning book some months back, I always wondered if you received it and if was helpful to you???
A great idea....set out all of your frozen tomatoe into your roasters and megga momma bowels x 3 and stock pots. Set aside all and let tomatoes defrost tipping of metled water as they defrost. Makes for less cooking down for a thick rich sauce. You could cook and blend and jar up or peel while still frozen and deseed when defrosted to freeze dry the pulp and blitz for tomatoe powder for quick paste to thicken other meals and soups. Hope this helps looking forward to this process with you. Cheers.
Congratulations on 9 years. I have been with you for many of those years.
Canning tomatoes are pretty easy to can. Peel (hot water blanche) prepare as you plan to use and water bath can (if high acid variety). Enjoy!
In my experience, tomatoes that have been frozen slip their skins as they start to defrost. The wait for the tomatoes to start to defrost would probably be a consideration on the massive amount of tomatoes you intend to process. That is an easy way to not have to peel the tomatoes if that is an important option for you. Beats blanching and peeling. So enjoy your videos.
I'm so encouraged watching you in doing all the things.
Jamerrill, I’m learning so much about canning from you and I wanna say thank you for making it so approachable and keeping when you make mistakes (like forgetting the bottom of the canner in) in the video. I appreciate you keeping it real . I was just wondering if you have or would be willing to do a video breaking down the cost of starting canning from scratch. The cost of canners, jars etc. I think it would be really interesting to see
When I cook with fresh tomatoes I don't skin and deseed my tomatoes. I have never skinned or de-seeded when I can. I wash, I remove bad spots I cut them open to make sure they are food inside. Then they go in a roaster and I do exactly what you said. We have never had a problem. Also, when I make salsa to can, I again do not skin or de seed. I also don't blend down to a sauce, I use my food processor to make chunks/dices and then they go into the roaster
Thanks for sharing 😊❤🙏
Ms. Ruby
You are my inspiration. I’m getting my family ready to help me start canning. Never thought to can ground meat. Gonna give it a go
Omgoodness I just love these canning videos
Several years ago I had a bumper crop of tomatoes, more than I could deal with at one time. I put them into Walmart Grocery bags then into the freezer, Later when things slowed down in the garden, I pulled the bags out, threw the tomatoes into a big roaster still frozen with a little water and cooked them a little. The skins sluffed off and I canned them. No issues or problems.
