  • THIS IS NOT AN APPROVED CANNING RECIPE, please do your own research.
    You can use this recipe to cook up your collard, broccoli, cabbage, and brussel sprout greens just and serve without canning perfectly safely.
    I choose to harvest all my edible greens from my garden so that I may put up the maximum amount of produce from our garden to reduce my demand on the commercial food system. This is my effort at Food Freedom.
    Recipe below is for a single batch of greens (yield just over 1 pint):
    Southern Style Greens
    Ingredients: (double as many times as desired for canning)
    8-10 cups shredded greens
    portion of hamhock, bacon or ham
    1/2 Onion sliced or chopped
    1 Quart of Chicken broth/stock
    2 teaspoons of salt
    3 Tablespoons of Apple Cider Vinegar
    2 teaspoons of Brown Sugar
    3 teaspoons of Garlic
    1 teaspoon of hot sauce
    Directions:
    Steam Greens in 2 cups of water for 20 mins, Pressure Cook Onions and Hamhock for 30 mins, While greens and hamhock are cooking, mix remaining ingredients together in small bowl. Drain Greens when finished steaming. Remove Hamhock and shred removing skin and bulk of fat. Mix Greens and ham with the onions and broth. Toss in the seasonings, bring to a boil and simmer for 20 minutes if pressure canning, if serving directly then cook another 40 mins to 1 hour until greens are fully cooked down.
    I pressure canned my greens in pint jars with one inch headspace topping with broth, at 10 lbs of pressure for my elevation for 75 mins.

    Dear Rachel, I really liked/loved this segment on canning greens and ham hocks. Congratulations for your exercise of common sense. Then, what a lesson for many of us on what we would not think could be harvested in the way of greens from the garden - a great lesson in economy, a very timely one for all with eyes to see and ears to hear. You put in place all the cautions for those of us who are unfamiliar with the history of canning and are , as yet, unwilling to think outside the current dogma. But, you have planted the ideas and some will watch to see if you survive the winter! I think of the Old Order Amish/Old Order Mennonites who can all kinds of things which the current generation of experts would caution against. There are three teachers: experience, common sense, and experts. All need to be treated with respect and one can learn from each. We live in a time when all three are readily at hand for our aid. Thanks for a timely and very valuable programme. Sincerely, Larry Clarence Lewis, Canada.

    Good video. My family has been doing this for decades. Both eating the leaves of cruciferous vegetables that most think are waste. And, also canning them. However, we did not have pressure canners. They water-bath canned everything including meat. Nobody died or got sick from food poisoning and stayed very healthy. Never needed the doctor aside from regular shots, etc. Loved and miss those days.

    Rachel, The National Center for Home Food Preservation has canning info on canning spinach and other greens and also canning meats. Your canning time of 75 mins /pint for your altitude seems in line with their guidelines for processing times with the hamhock (meat) added. Great job. I am so glad that I found your channel.

    I just looked at the NCHFP website. It has instructions for canning “spinach and other greens”. It didn’t say anything about excluding the brassica family.
    Ive been making a lot of green “chips” dehydrated but it can be a slow process. I might try your recipe for some of my glut of collard greens. I’m trying to avoid freezing since we seem to get a hurricane or ice storm every year and lose power for days at a time.

    Wow! Rachel I don’t know how you manage and I LOVE how honest you are about getting discouraged because it’s a ton of work to grow and harvest and process all the food your family needs to get through the winter months but you sure would never find anything as healthy or well cleaned or with as much love added as what are in those jars!! I just loved your smile at the end when you showed the finished product and said about how pretty it looks. You sure are a trooper and very inspirational!! I think we should all be doing exactly what you are and living the way you and Todd live if we did the world would be a much different place! Men wouldn’t have the energy for violence as they would be taking out all their aggression trying to till dry land and doing all the manual labour required! I think we would all be a much more gentle and appreciative people if we all knew what goes in to preparing the food that is spread out for the evening meal. I think it’s so important to know where our food comes from these days and know how well cleaned and scrubbed it is before we preserve it. I’m sure they stopped putting those types of preserves in the canning books because people wouldn’t go through all the steps necessary to clean them appropriately and would end up with some funky growths happening inside them. That’s the only part about canning that scares me the possibility of botulism. Have you ever thought of fermenting your vegetables as a way of preserving them? That’s another way they used to preserve their harvest in the olden days.

    One more thing...I've worked in food service for most of my life. I totally understand being required to wear gloves while preparing foods that are consumed raw. What I don't understand is being required to wear gloves while dropping foods into a deep fryer with grease temps that are normally between 360F and 375F. Look at food cooking instructions and see how many foods only need to reach 140F to insure safety. Those gloves cause more severe burns to the hands of the fry cook who used to be able to get directly to the sink to stop the burning process verses having to peal a glove off along with skin and tissue.What used to be a blister is now a severe burn and for what? So the companies who manufacture gloves can make more money from the government requirement. I'm not someone who is against all regulation. I'm just someone who is against regulations that harm people to profit other people.

    Thank you for this tutorial--ahem, simple sharing of your chosen technique. 😊 I have wanted to can greens, figured I could figure it out, but baffled at the minimal example and information about it "out there." Thank you for sharing your research. I take full responsibility for my own due diligence. Cooking up my first round of broccoli that never formed heads due to extreme heat, with dozens of gigantic leaves today! It's making a lot of southern style greens!

    I just bought my first pressure canner. It is probably the only one left in the state (Oregon) and Amazon! Presto 16 Qt are on national back order. I got the last one of the 23 Qt at my local True Value. It is bigger than I need, but too big is better than too small, I guess.. LOL.. I can't wait to start pressure canning everything!

    Hmmm... Really... no food cooking should be done in any aluminum even like your pressure canner you have there which looks like aluminum. To see for yourself, put some water in the aluminum pot with some salt and bring to a boil for a bit. Then taste the water and notice the bitter taste.. That's the aluminum leaching into the water. When I was a kid in the 50's, I remember a guy coming to our home to talk to mom about aluminum pots and pans. He did the same with water and salt and heating up. That water tasted nasty and that's when mom bought all stainless steel, which is what I use along with my cast iron or any enamel ware or porcelain, all safe unlike aluminum. Just something to think about. 😉
    Also, I do want to say that you folks rock and I really enjoy watching your videos. Very informative, helpful, inspiring and some great ideas. And in lower Michigan with same climate, so can relate. Plus, I used to work in your area off and on over the past many years and I live in lower Michigan as well. Having around a 2 year supply of food is Awesome and Not about hoarding. It's about self sustainability and eating healthy, knowing where your food comes from, having a healthy relationship with your food from ground to table and not having to rely on the ever increasing over processed foods. Keep up the Awesome work and have a wonderful day, everyday. 😉

    Hi! I just came into a large amount of Alabama blue collards. I am using hammocks and bacon grease. I am also chopping up the fat and meat from the hammocks, because I love the flavor of the fat. I plan on canning some and freezing some. I think I will use less fat for canning so I don't chance a failed lid. Your thoughts please. And again, I know that I am doing this at my own risk. I love your recipes!!!!
