- There is nothing better than pulling home canned goods off the shelf in the middle of January. It's a reminder of what was and a reminder of the summer to come!!
Here are all the items I used for canning today.

Hi friends! I'm Jennifer, a forty-something wife and mother of 7 children ages 9 - 25. We are Catholic. We homeschool. We cook from scratch. We farm cranberries. We drink coffee. We advocate for Down syndrome awareness. We are loud. We are chaotic.
Here I'll share vlogs about all these things, what I'm doing that works and what I've tried but didn't work. I hope to encourage you in your journey through motherhood, homeschooling, learning to cook, and growing in your faith through it all.

"What you talkin' bout Willis?!" Perfect timing, Jen. Thanks for the memories
What a beautiful harvest you had! Loved seeing the family working together to preserve the harvest. Thank you for sharing with us.
We peeled every apple when my mom, grandma, and I canned. We saved every peeling and made jelly out of it. It was delicious.
Sounds yummy and very frugal!
oh my goodness....then his smile and a wink for the camera! too sweet!
Joe is so adorable winking into the camera
There is a constant HONESTY in farm life. The work remains the same either you do it or you don't do it there's no hiding it.
Just love watching your family working together to get the big jobs done! Loved it when Joe walked up to the camera and gave a few winks :)
I remember my Daddy cranking down jar rings for Mom many years ago. She didn't have the strength. I miss my parents so much.
I had three boys and three apple, peeler, slicers, so they all worked on the apples. We dehydrated, made apple sauce(chunky) and apples for pie or crunch. They were happy to help because they loved the results. It was a busy but fun time. Love your channel and your family. Bless you all!
I’m with ya Maria! “Play with Barbie’s” was always the thing I would rather have done when I was little!
You and your husband are amazing people and so are your sweet children xxx
Peter is such a wonderful helper!
Really enjoyed this video. It's so interesting watching the apple harvest process
Best kitchen helpers, Peter, Joe and Maria. Joe was so sweet winking at us in the camera. Peters face and his antics, he’s so funny. Sweet Maria and the look on her face tasting the applesauce. Plus Warren always pitches in with the kids, kitchen things or whatever is going on at the time, that’s when he’s not super busy his self. Love sitting by the fire and roasting brats, hot dogs and s’mores...good family time and memories.
I told my youngest daughter yesterday, the days are long, but the years are short. She said what do you mean, so I had to explain it to her. That it seemed like it was just yesterday I was bringing my babies home. I hope you and your precious family have a blessed night and thank you for sharing your family with us.
I love how you stayed your thoughts so eloquently! I'm older too, 66. I love Jennifer's Vlog. She's creating new memories for her family. ❤️
I can pizza sauce in pints, we use the leftover sauce on toasted English muffins with a topping of cheese and pop in the air fryer for a minute
Such a great "use it up" idea.
You could make jelly with the cores and the peelings. It is so good! Scrap apple jelly.
I so enjoy watching you and your family Jennifer. Watching how much the kids enjoyed helping you with the apple harvest and making apple sauce then having the camp fire was a real treat for the kids. I just love watching joe, he really loves being on camera lol. I was wearing my shirt today that says I love someone With autism. I thought of Joe then saw you had a video up today and was so excited to watch it. Thank you for sharing your day with us, it really brings me allot of joy.
So true to put in the size that works for your family. I do that for sure.
❤ thanks for sharing your beautiful family and preservation day i always learn so much from you
Great video...growing up we peeled apples...then cooked them down. Don't remember much else, but that was 50years ago. Really enjoy watching your family.!! Thanks for sharing!💙💙💙💙😯🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴🌴
Is there anything that Peter can’t do. Lol. Love watching Joe when he is trying to trick you into believing him. Maria is always helping. Such a beautiful family.
Hi Jennifer , hope everyone is well .
I grew up in upstate NY and Macintosh apples were my favorite. My mom made applesauce. And her pies were amazing. Macs have a tendency to break down and we called her pies "applesauce pie." Made with lard crusts, of course. Nostalgia at its finest.
Beautiful family ❤
I have one of those food strainers, I love mine, makes applesauce making a dream. I was taking a break from processing apples when what do I watch, Jennifer processing apples, I had no help though, my kids are all on their own now but they want the applesauce, apple jelly, apple pie filling, now my grandson wants a case of apple pie filling so he feels like he is at Nanny's house eating, I told him he needs to help me cut the apples if he wants that much, we have a nice apple here called Northern Spy, makes great pies, huge apples, one apple gives 2 cups, mix with other apples, but apples that big make the cutting go faster. What a nice family you have.
Baking soda and water boil will bring it also
You can find pumice stones over where manicure/pedicure supplies are at places like Target or Walmart or a beauty supply store. 😊
Gotta love joe winking 😉 at the camera 📸 😊great work to all the kids
I always have a supply of pumice stones from my local hardware store. They come in 5" ling and 1" wide on a wood handle. I use them for all stubborn stains like your pots or even in the inside of the toilet inside the rim. (A different one of course!). Very inexpensive and they work. Glad to know we use the same tools.
You have such good helpers!
And you’re a wealth of information. Thank you for sharing! xo
Chop sticks work great as a debubbler. I have a regular one but the chop sticks work so much better since they are smaller and you can get through food easier.
Lovely video!
No need to scuff your pan to clean, add baking soda and water to the pan, bring to a boil and let cool. Burnt bits will flake right off. Save those pans!
Hi Joe you help mother
Wow Great Apple sauce!!🍎🍎 Blessings to you and your beautiful family and Have a Great Week Jennifer. 🙏🙏❤❤🍁🍁
Joe made me laugh outloud.....Chocolate cookies!....come on! Haha.....sounded alot like my husband asking me to make some:)
What you talkin’’bout Willis? Bawhahaha 😂 the look on his face 😂
I have never thought about using a pumice stone on stainless steel! Super idea 💡 Thank you!
I recieved my cook books soooo excited my husband bought me more cast iron pans in our trip so can’t wait to get to cooking thank you the speedy delivery
My mom had a canner just like that one
My mother in law made the weirdest "apple 🍎 butter" It was apple sauce (home made, or jars if no fresh apples.) Then put in sugar and redhots candy 🍬 😋 My son loved it, I myself not so much...
Maria is so cute and Honest 😂and Willis has had enough also ☹️🍎😏now Maria see show her work tastes good! Love Joe ❤ maybe filled tomuch 😂 thank you for sharing ❤🤗🍂🤗🍁❤️
Great advice on packaging sizes for your family. I learned years ago that jelly jars are too small for us so I use pints for my jelly and jams. I still use my jelly jars for other things.
I've been cooking since I was 10, I'm 61 now, I've found throughout the years that if I use a heavy abrasive to clean burned pots that spot, because of the scratches, burns more often and easily than smooth surface pots do.
That was a huge pot you cooked apples in 😮
Oh the face Peter made HA HA such great helpers you have there. I bought 40# boxes of the sort out apples from our local grocery store. They sell them for $8 a box. I've bought 4 boxes. I've made pie filling, apple sauce, apple butter, caramel apple jam & made a couple of apple crisps. My 13 yr old grandson will help peel sometimes. Joe is so cute. He's making faces in front of the camera.
What a blessed harvest you guys had! That is such great advice on canning what's right for your family. I learned the lesson a couple years ago with carrots. We had a ton so I did dilly carrots I had seen a lot of people canning on CZcams (about a dozen jars) sadly all but two are still in the back pantry. So yeah, I should have stuck to plain carrots. I learned after that to only can things I know we like or start with just a few jars to test them out lol. Thanks for sharing your day and the kids with us. I loved seeing them helping.
Jennifer Baking soda and vinegar as paste also takes that off your pots and pans and also cleans your oven and it’s all Natural ingredients safe I have learned so much about Vinegar and Baking soda natural ingredients are best and safe
My tree had one apple this summer and one last year , I told it if you don’t have any next year I’m cutting it down 😊
My neighbor has threatened her flowers at times, and they listen 😂
Thank you Joe for helping. What a nice smile in the camera
I always wondered why homemade applesauce had a different color. Thank you Jennifer for explaining why that happens. Your awesome🌺
Thanks for the vlog ❤
The fire and s'mores are calling me! 😂
Oh so good to see the kids, loved Maria's face when she tasted the applesauce i take it that she loves it.
❤❤❤❤
Hi Jennifer. Love spending time with the Brockmans. Good to see Maria, Peter and Joe helping out in the kitchen. The applesauce looked yummy. TFS. Hugs.
Oh, I miss apple picking when our kids were young. So fun. Made bunches of applesauce. Yum!
Mom when doing a small amount on the stove would add fresh cranberries or sometimes vanilla.
Peterbuilt fire! LOVE IT!
You have great children!
Jennifer I just love your beautiful Children they are adorable and I love them helping you Joe makes me laugh so much He is adorable . Could you please 🙏🏻 pray 🙏🏻 for me I have get another Pet Scan It’s scary but I have to because of my Cancer ♋️
🙏
Jennifer I Remember you doing your cranberry harvest and your Country wife in the life quite often are you doing omce a month Grocery Haul was that part of your canning when you did the hour an half one❤
I have been enjoying your channel for a few years now, first comment, I love watching cook....ya all take care...Mary 🇨🇦...💜💜🦋
Now THAT'S a saucepan! lol
Jennifer ENJOY the hot tub you deserve it after the Apple workout. I remember we froze our apples and we never had as much fruit. Maria's little "yum" when you asked her opinion was enough to show how much she loves those apples. So cute
Love homemade apple sauce. Joe is so adorable. Love you guys.
Jennifer...thank you for sharing your beautiful family with us! Do yall like apple jelly?? Apple butter is the bomb also and very easy to make. From Montgomery al 🙏 ❤️
Oh what fun. I really need to learn to can 😮. Great job. Lots of work- and filming it all! Definition of a woman 😊!!! Oh I almost cried when I heard you say the chickens were getting the scapes of apple remains. I save all my peels and cores, bag in freezer and just pull out a few at a time. I put in a pot of water with some spices and on the back burner on super low and it makes my house smell so good all year long. Lord bless.
I told one of my kids, "whatchu talkin bout Willis" just the other day and they looked at me like I was crazy. 🤣 I need one of those food strainers! I peel and core all mine by hand and that would really make life easier!
That was awesome. It's wonderful seeing the kids help out so much in the kitchen. Do you ever make cranberry applesauce? That's a favorite in my house. My stepson even labeled it "crapple sauce", lol. I sure miss sitting around the fire in the evenings with my late husband and the kids. Wonderful memories made.
I did get a chuckle out of you mixing up tomato and apple. It reminded me of mixing up ribs and wings several years ago. The family still won't let me forget it 😅
My favorites Family
Joseph,Peter and Maria great job. I wish Peter could do a brief tutorial on how to secure apple to the apple peeler corer.
I have that same apple corer slicer saying I love it and I’ve already used some of mine to put apple pie in the freezer
Just ordered volume 1 today after I got volume 2. Love the cookbook! Trying to decide what to make first! Thanks so much, now I have to get it away from my husband! He was born & raised in Wisconsin.
I made cider from my scraps! It was so good!!! I just save the scraps in freezer bag till I have enough.
Another thing that works quite well for scorched on food is citric acid. I sprinkle on some in a damp pot and scrub with my regular dish brush and it dissolves. I have regular soap on the brush too 😉💗
Yummy!!
😋
I'm running out of jars and starting to use some of Grandma's (probably Great-Grandma's!) jars. They're working great so far!
We canned cinnamon apples this year for desserts and toppings, maybe next year I will try out applesauce. Doesn’t look to hard!
The bonfire looked lovely!
Oh I really enjoyed this video, I have never actually canned applesauce. I have always just made it in smaller batches and kept it in the fridge. We always eat it up within a week or so! It is so beautiful where you guys live! Blessings to you all!🥰🍎🍏
I just bought that same food strainer. Waiting for the rest of my tomatoes to ripen so I can make some pizza sauce.
I thought I got the idea to cut the apples into salt water instead of lemon juice water from you a couple of years ago. It works fabulously and I've been giving you the credit. @a country life LOL
Yes. I often do salt water. I guess since adding lemon juice to the apple juice I had it out so I used it for the apple slices, too.
I have also been canning applesauce and dilly beans. Thank you for all the tips and tricks for canning. I still am a little afraid of pressure canning. Everyone keeps telling me it's like using my instant pot. Lol.
I like my apple sauce with peels. I make about a litre and eat it plain or on oatmeal. 😋
❤❤❤
Hello Jennifer and family
Watching your vlogs much appreciated by us all
Jennifer
Please can one ask you
To if your family like beetroot???
If they do
Cranberry and beetroot go together for sandwiches and roast chicken and turkey
I am am sharing this with you Jennifer xxxx
Joe ❤
Joe is so dang cute..Holy crap.
Do you follow Simple Living Alaska? They do a lot of recipes with moose and some really yummy vegetables. Big canners. I think you might enjoy them.ove fall and apples. Pamper Chef doesn't carry the apple peeler anymore. So I have been told..
Hi Jennifer I just love this Video making applesauce is so delicious I am glad you guys are just about done your Cranberry harvest God bless you all much love ❤️ 🙏🏻✝️☮️📿❤️💗♥️💙💜🌹❤️🩹🌷💕
Yummy
Ok stupid question, is a nesco like a big huge roasting pan?
It’s an electric toaster similar to a huge crockpot, but can get even hotter and brown food. Mine is a 22 quart.
Peterbilt truck
🤍
gee,,,,ive..watched..for..2..years..and..just..noticed..i..didnt..subcribe
I know you can’t help it cuz ur a product of where you grew up but I cringe every time you say Italian. It’s ahh talian at least in my large Italian family and culture. But I laugh when people pronounce it like you do. Nice apple harvest.
We all have words that drive us nuts. But I mostly love to hear regional pronunciations, even by people who mispronounce guacamole. Please don't change a thing @Jennifer Brockman.
Love homemade applesauce! Definitely have to make that soon! Looks like everyone had so much fun! Nice that everyone helps, even with dishes! Great fire made by Peter! Loved the Peterbilt fire! 😅Looks so nice and cozy , having brats and s’mores around the fire! Love Fall!
