I am glad you showed the broken jars so that people who are new to canning know to look for them. Very good vlog! Thank You!
People who dare to show their mistakes are the best kind of people.
❤❤❤
Yes I love watching them cos their real not fakes!
900 views in 5 minutes, shows how much people like originality- and not pomp and flare. Keep up the awesomeness!
Y'all are like me and my husband we do everything together.. Been married almost 22 years he's still my best friend and I couldn't imagine doing life without him ! Prayer's with all y'all's endeavors !
Maybe it's a southern thing; I don't know, but we like to take canned salmon and make a Salmon Stew with it. It's a simple recipe but so delicious on those cold nights. I peel and dice up several nice size potatoes and boil them until tender and then drain them. In a pot I will add the cooked potatoes, 2 cans of salmon, a stick of butter, salt and pepper, and then fill up pot with milk. Heat this all up until hot; stirring occasionally so the milk won't burn. Once it's ready to serve up in bowls, we then like to take saltine crackers and then crumble them up and put over our stew in our bowls. Like I said, it's simple, but it's so tasty. I can't even image how good it would be with fresh caught salmon.
Southerner here as well. We grew up on this recipe, only we didn't put potatoes in it and we added evaporated milk or heavy cream (whichever we had on hand) before finishing it off with regular milk. Made our oyster stew the same way.
@@ASimpleLifeHomesteading So, yours was just salmon and the milk/cream? I've never heard of if made this way; that's interesting. Everyone I know that makes it puts potatoes, but that's not a lot of people. Even though I live in the South there is still a lot of people here that have never heard of it or have never tried it. Oyster stew is made the same way, too. We love it, my husband will also add cheese to his. LOL But we love adding hot sauce to it. Looking forward to cooler weather to make it.
All the different ways you guys have prepared salmon over the years you should consider a Simple Salmon Cookbook.
I agree
Great idea🤗
Yeah let me pre order that. I can already imagine the pictures 😋
Yes!
Definitely agree
… at 80 years old , I have never had an inclination to live the pioneer lifestyle that you seem to thrive on …. but whenever I see one of your videos , I thoroughly enjoy the enthusiasm you have for your life … I am happy for your choice ; it is so right for you 🥰
Eric and Ariel, we are big proponents that YT is at its best when information is shared for learning, rather than just entertainment. Of course you have both, but these episodes where you share some knowledge and ideas make this literally our favorite homesteading channel. We agree with others that the cracked jars are a very important lesson, because this lifestyle is all about perseverance and not stopping when the bees die, the jars crack, the chainsaw won’t start, the tire keeps going flat….thank you for taking the incredible amount of time and effort it takes to provide content, free of sponsors and full of honesty, Dan and Elle.
Wonderful couple Sharing their knowledge and experience to us Thank you
Absolutely, well said!!
i like your show how would like to generate power from your stove no joke
it is posable w/ a hot air engine better nowne as a sterling engine
Tv
I've never pressured canned and yes I'm one of those scared of them 🤪. I like how you explained the process of canning and how to use the canner better than some I've watched, so thank you two for explaining the what and the why. Looking forward to the next. Blessings to you both. 😊🇺🇲
Patricia Herman: If you could have an experienced canner come show you and be with you through the process, you would be just fine!!
You can do it, give it a try and you'll never look back. It's really super easy and so worth the trouble. I've been canning all day, kidney bean, great northerns, and beef stew. When I don't have the time I use these to put a healthy home cooked meal on the table in under 30 mins.
I'm a scared of them person too. 😄 However, I got a Carey Electric pressure canner a few years back and have been canning up a storm. It's something you might want to check out. It was an easy way for me to get going and learn what I like to can. They have built in fail-safes so it can't over pressure and will shut down if something goes wrong. They do small batches... 4Q or 5P, and can run up to a full 15 lbs so you can use them even at high altitude. They aren't cheap, but they also have browning, slow cooking and open cooking features so they replace several appliances. That was a big space saver for me with a small kitchen. Also, you can do any Instapot recipe in them. This year I have a big standard Presto, and I'm at least pulling my big-girl pants out of the closet. We'll see how they fit😬 Daunting! LOL But I'm still loving my Carey for when I get a few extra pounds of meat on sale... a pint is a pound, so if I find a sweet deal on chicken or something, I drag home five extra pounds and do a 5 pint Carey load. I also double batch things like beans, chilis, soups and stews and run those for grab and go meals.
I didn't have anyone in the family to show me how to pressure can but I just read everything and watch RoseRed on you tube. She is a retired scientist and goes into detail on how to safely put up food.
@@kellyhawes9293, she is a good teacher. I also follow her too. She is still working full time as a pprofessor. But here is where I go for flavor and from the heart of their canning. They love to eat and love to test out all sorts of flavors. The first thing I made of theirs was their mustards. So good!
Very good canning video for canning anything. I was raised on a large farm and we canned so many things. I can understand how important a great video can be to new canners. Thank you!
I recognize you from either the a country life or acre homestead comments
Àp0pp
@@Pharphette I follow both of those channels. I’ve followed Simple Living Alaska from the beginning!
Every time I see a new video from you, I get excited! I just love you two and love your videos! You are living a life that is admirable and lovely!
My absolute favorite way to eat canned salmon is in a cream cheese dip. Whip 8 oz of cream cheese, add 1 tbs of lemon juice, 6 oz salmon, garlic salt, garlic powder, black pepper, salt to taste, and fresh chives. Mix it all up, form it into a ball... and top it with crushed pecans. Pair with your favorite crackers and it makes the absolute best dip ever.
Sounds super good! I’m writing this down thanks!!!
My husband and I do canning together. We enjoy working together and its always fun to see what we come up with. Some stuff we love, some we throw away, but being together is the best part. Oh, and we are 73 and 70 yrs. lots of canning over 50 years. Maybe our marriage as been good cause we can together. 😀
That is awesome!
You guys literally grin ear to ear every time y’all prepare your catch!! So fun to watch!
I agree!!! It's impressive how they work so well together!!! Also, it's nice how they talk to the camera like we're standing right there!!!🙂
I learn so much and really feel gratitude I found your channel.
Learning how to prepare meals with preserved food (especially expensive proteins) with simple recipes
helps to justify buying in bulk at Costco meat, fish, poultry dept.
Especially for those financially struggling: loss of jobs, young families, single parents, welfare, soc. Security....
Thank you for sharing your hard learned lessons in healthy meals.
Recipe idea:
Try salmon quesadillas! Top tortillas with canned salmon, green chilies, Monterey Jack, green onions, sautéed peppers and onions… fry up and serve with yogurt/sour cream and any of your amazing salsas/kimchis!
Sounds great!
Oh great now I have to pay 20 bucks a salmon fillet to make quesadillas because I have to try them, maybe a taco too. It is your fault that I am 20 dollars poorer. Thanks for the recipe.
I love that you made a point to check the manual for your specific pressure canner. So many people on many of my Facebook groups are always asking how long to process different foods, I tried for so long not to comment but eventually I started telling them to please check their manuals. You both are great at explaining whatever it is you are doing.
Hello guys Greetings from Ontario Canada. Hope all is well in the great state of Alaska.
Great teaching video you guys! Canning food correctly is so important.
The salmon looks DELICIOUS 🤤
I’ve been watching you guys for years and every episode is still refreshing
My mom makes salmon ball every year for Thanksgiving and Christmas. It was her mother's recipe. It's 1 large can salmon, 1/4-1/2tsp liquid smoke(you probably won't need as your salmon is already smoked) 2tbsp finely minced onion, 8oz room temp cream cheese, 1tsp lemon juice, 1tsp horseradish, 1/4 tsp salt.
Mix all together day before serving, form into ball and wrap in plastic. Place in fridge overnight and enjoy next day with crackers(Ritz are the best).
That sounds great !!! And very easy .....
So glad to see y’all! Weathered the storm without problems, I hope.
Love ❤the sound of your rooster in the background
Enjoy watching you guys ♥️
Oh the joys of smoked canned salmon! We like to take some, mix it in cream cheese and mayo, and then eat it on crackers. yumm!
Wife and I live in a log cabin on a few acres in the PNW. I've gotta show her this channel. One of my all time favorites! Thanks for sharing
Details, details, details on this canning process. I love it! I started canning because of you two and this video was a huge help. Have a good one....thanks for the great tutorial.
Our pleasure!
Been watching you since your move from Oregon you give me hope for humanity ❤️ keep it moving
Right that's about the same time I started watching them it's very cool all the things that they do and the amazing things they never fight and seem to like the same thing out of life. If I and my Husband we're younger it could have been something we would have done but I'm 63 and he is 72 and neither of us like the cold plus you have to go through Canada and we don't want to declare our gun's we are 1% bikers living in Arizona.
Well, that was a lot of salmon! A labour of love. I imagine your home gets stuffed to the brim at the end of harvest time. I love seeing the final results of all your bounty every year. I hope you are not in harms way as those wicked storms pummel Alaska. Be safe!
You've made my day much better(I had a really agitating and disappointing day today). I was so glad to see your post pop up. I appreciate the guidance on pressure canning. Each person has their own style, but glad to hear you follow the book. I know it's a bit of work, but watching you take it at your own pace calms me down after a rough day. Thank you!!
i’m so glad you go over the canning!! i never get bored with it!!
Love you guys!
I love how you two work together on all your projects.
Fish always tastes better when you experience catching them in the wild, then putting your hearts into processing them ❤❤
Amazing video as always!
Never gets old! Thanks for bringing us along
Super to see you two again! Man your fishing expedition has turned into Salmon goodness. I wish I could smell the smoked fish.
No matter which way you have canned the salmon they look delicious. Arielle you gave gave great instructions on how you do a safe processing of salmon. Until your next video, take care and be safe. (Judy NB)🇨🇦🌲
It's good to see a video made by people who have actually done this many times before and perfected the method. There are WAY too many youtube videos of people "showing us how" to do recipes that they are literally atempting for the first time as they're filming it. Good job guys :)
Definitely the earliest I’ve been here
Same, thanks to breastfeeding the baby in the middle of the night
Same
If I was still a student, I would argue for getting credit for watching your "how to" videos, they are so good. It's amazing how many meals you canned today from your catch. I wish I was your neighbor - I'd trade for your salmon....not the kids or the dog...but anything else. Thanks you two for another really great video. Suzi
Lol
"not the kids or the dog" :)
My son lives in southwest Michigan by the lake. I live in Arkansas and go for visits often. We catch coho salmon and take it to a local processor to smoke. One time we made salmon dips, we called it a dip off. Who can make the best dip? Cream cheese, smoked salmon, and anything else. He edged me out with a cream cheese, salmon, roasted red pepper, garlic, parsley, sesame seeds, secret spices haha. You get the idea. Try dips!
This country girl loves hearing the rooster crowing in the back ground.
My favorite couple! Thank you for sharing! It's hard work, but ohhhh so rewarding!
I make salmon patties. I start by sauteing diced onions, garlic, red bell pepper with olive oil. Then I add old bay seasoning, dill, egg, corn meal, and salt and pepper into the salmon. I also make a homemade tartar sauce to go on top. Yum and very delish.
I have seen everyone of your videos, can hardly wait for new ones. You guys are hard workers to survive. Me being a mom and Nana of 74 yrs, I can see that you guys work together and work hard. May the lord bless you two and be with you.🙏
Y'all are seriously my favorite CZcamsrs. Your content is always fun, entertaining and wholesome.
Love your videos! Hi from Trinidad 🇹🇹
I swear this channel keeps growing ! 633k !!!I ❤️ the harvest videos..the canning..cooking etc. Such hard workers! Great video as always
Bo knows... Bandit's ready!! What a luscious bounty in all of those jars!
You guys must have a great deal of comfort, in that no matter what, you can live off the land. Yes it is hard work, but the fruits of your labor are gold of another variety
Amazing review of safe pressure canning! You two are my favorites! Thank you so much Eric & Arielle!
I love the diversity of your videos!! I love when you do a video focused on one thing, like this salmon, that takes several days. I also really love the more “day in the life” videos. I love that you continue to both!
I’m not a huge salmon fan, but I feel like if I could catch salmon in Alaska I would like it a lot more.
watching always from Philippines 🇵🇭 Mabuhay!
We adore salmon with lemon, dill and a little olive oil!
You two are such a great team. Especially with this canning episode you can see how experienced the last 4yrs have made you. What a nice batch of jars. I think this must be one of the best YT-how-to-can vids out there! I’m as sure as heck gonna defer people to this one if they need tips. It’s the best imho!
Praying for you as the weather has looked fierce and I have heard that there have been earthquakes, thank you for the lessons on canning, looks really good
Awesome canning. I love salmon Pattie’s, mix, onion, and egg with salmon, oh salt and pepper. Delicious.
wow! what an excellent video you two, I am 61 years old & never canned a thing in my life, I think I could can anything now after watching you, I have been watching your channel since you were road tripping moving to Alaska, I live in Australia & I enjoy seeing what its like where you live, you both have continued to find ways to improve your channel, well done!
I can almost smell it ♥️
Another great video. I've watched your previous canning videos but your instructions tonight were clear, concise, and accurate. Sorry you has a couple of failures but seeing those in reality is so much better than reading a manual. You guys are a great team too! I love smoked salmon, especially wish I had tasted your candied salmon from last year. That looked so good.
11:19 thanks for talking about the worms. We just got back from kasilof and I was positive as long as it’s cooked properly the fish would be fine. I’m glad you mentioned it in your video.
Your fishing harvest this year has to be a personal best. Your canning regiment reminds me of my grandmother and mothers canning. Your ability to do it outside also reminds me of of them!!!!
All those pink filets to can, from all those fishing trips and adventures! Awesome! I'm not a fan of salmon, but I am a huge fan of ya'lls, all the trips you take us on, all the ups and downs, hunts, I enjoy every post! Love ya'll ❤️
Looks like you guys are ready to upgrade to a smoke house, your videos are heartwarming and inspiring, thank you so much for sharing, with love Helga ❤️....
Love Salmon mmm! I take a can of drained salmon, red onion, chives, bbq sauce - I like smokey flavor, horseradish to taste, blend with cream cheese. Fantastic on toasted bagels.
Thanks for all the canning tips!
Very good that you went over all the safety items. I have canned venison and it was delicious but followed directions. Thanks, Ariel, for the tip on the vinegar to help reduce the fogging on glass cans.
You made that look so easy, and I know it was not. Great video.
Thank you, for explaining, about canning, can some tomatoes and never really checked my jars, great episode.🤟
Wonderful video. You two are awesome 😎🤓😎🤓😎
Have you experimented with actually soaking the wood chunks? We do that to both create more smoke but also cooling the temp.
1st to comment! So great to be here!!!!
Smoked canned salmon, that sounds like a great idea . Yum yum yum nice old school smoker, that salmon looks perfect
back in the day 90's I had a friend Joe Pepetti that had a fishing boat and every year he would go up north to fish for lots of salmon. All the boats would follow he and his brothers boat and fish where they fished. He wold send the fish home and he would make pickled salmon that would knock your socks off. I miss Joe....miss the pickled salmon. I think I will give it a go!
The two of you make a beautiful couple.
I always wondered how the canning process worked. Thanks for demonstrating all the steps to successfully canning the salmon. Really enjoyed the video!
That looks so good. My favorite is salmon balls. Same as patties but roll them into balls. Serve with teriyaki sauce, or Alfredo, or tarter. I use dried mash potato flakes, egg, onion and celery. Also, roll the outside in dried mashed potato flakes for extra crispy.
Sounds great!
Great job Eric and Ariel
Wash the entire jar in warm soapy water, especially the canner with the broken jar. Your jars won’t be so cloudy. They will be beautiful. Good job.
Wow you guys canned so much salmon. Way to go!! It looks delicious. Also thanks for all the tips. I’ve learned a lot watching you do the process.
I have a way to evenly lawyer the salt and sugar. By a hand squeeze sifter, like you use for flower. You will hear a nice even layer with a couple of squeezes.
I am Jim Baird from Plain City Ohio. I so much enjoy your videos. I am 80 years old and watch as many of your videos as I find. You two are so well matched,
Thank you for providing excellent television. I was married for 50 years and my wife moved to heaven. You both make positive watching for families and promote happiness. Thank you for your thorough attention to detail. Stay blessed.
Love all the disclaimers! Great video as usual thanks for sharing! Salmon looks fantastic!
Always excited for a new video from you guys! I never miss one!! I would love to spend a day with y'all on your adventures. I bet it never gets boring!
Wouldn't that be AWESOME?!?!
I love watching you prepare food to be self reliant. Why not mix the salt and sugar together then sprinkle it using just one container. That way there's no guessing on even distribution. Just a thought.
Salmon spread one can canned salmon drain mash up ad mayo little mustard salt pepper sweet or dill Pickle a little onion mix slather onto a sailor boy cracker. A Sunday afternoon favorite at home.
You both are an inspiration! I admire how you work together, and how you have grown since the move to Alaska. You make me feel so energized and you confirm in every episode that NOTHING is impossible!! Much much blessings!
That tag team effort kicked ass!👏If someone had told me I would be waiting for every video, and watching on the edge of my seat, I would of never believed it! Thank you for bringing all of your Alaskan adventures to life for me!💙
clicked so fast 🤩
If you haven't yet, you have to try it on pizza with whatever fresh veggies you like. I do it with home jarred tuna in oil that I jar with lemon, and I mix the oil with fresh garlic paste to season the crust.
We live in Washington state, but we are Ukrainians. We are really enjoying watching your videos. Your fish looks very delicious.
Awesome video. Don't you have to worry about bears when you left the jars outside over night? You guys are so much fun to watch and see how well you work together.
I was wondering that, too!!! 🤔
When I first told my family that I wanted to move to Alaska and live a simpler life on a homestead my family thought I was crazy. I won’t move for a couple of years, but I’ve been learning and taking notes from your channel and I’ve shown my family that you guys have been living this life that I’m looking for, so I thank you so much for all the informative videos and for giving me courage and hope to keep chasing my dream life 💖 you guys are incredible and I wish you all the absolute best! That salmon made me so hungry 😂
I want to know how they pay for supplies an so forth
@@TineyGrouse People watching their videos and ads brings in a lot of cash
Thank you for taking the time to show us your approach to canning salmon using the pressure cooker. Watching all of your videos, I’ve wondered how it all works. You guys did an excellent job explaining the process. I feel like I might even give it a try someday! I’m definitely building a veggie garden thanks to you both. Much love to the best couple on CZcams!!
YOU TWO ARE “ Amazing “ …working together …enjoy your Salmon …🥰
Isn’t this moose season? Love the show
I used to use vinegar in my canner but when it started causing the lids to rust, I stopped using it like that. If I want them to be clear, I will wash the jars before I use them in the dishwasher with some vinegar added. When you go to open a jar of garden goodness, you don't want to have to struggle with a lid that is rusted on...
I believe the white film that can develop on jars is due to the minerals in the water. But good to know about the possibility of rusting bands. Thanks!
I usually just wipe the jars with water and a tiny bit of vinegar after I can them to avoid the rusting.
Awesome, explaining all the canning. Super great
This is the best smoked and canned one I have seen. I really like that you did both fillets and chunks. It is that time of the year, so far we've got jams, jellies, pickles, mustard pickles, salsa, and sauce done. Now it is on to tuna, with salmon to follow. Been one of the best years of harvests that I have seen in the PNW.
just curious, since I am assuming it gets pretty cold at night in Alaska - were you not concerned about letting the jars sit outside overnight after coming out of the pressure canners? I thought drastic temperature changes could cause issues with sealing. Your very detailed instructions will be very helpful to new canners out there - I have 25 pounds of ground beef to process tonight, but won't be doing it outside :)
French Canadian salmon pie mashed potato just 2,fork mashed no liquid 2 jars of salmon 6 pats of butter ,salted herbs ,then make a pie two crusts,ohhh leave the liquid of the salmon dont drain it
My brother used to guide salmon and steelhead fishing trips on northern California and southern Oregon rivers. Some of his customers just wanted pictures..... Either way every thanksgiving or Christmas he would bring a paper grocery bag all oily and easily halfway full of smoked fish fillets sliced about half the width of yours. I can tell just by looking at those smoked fillets you did it perfectly!! OMG I'm hungry for smoked salmon now!!!
I know most people toss the lids after opening a jar and using the contents but I was taught to wash the jar and lid after using the contents, flip the lid over and screwing on a band to keep the empty jar clean until next canning season. I admire your education regarding your process. My parents grew up during the Great Depression and many of their canning skills were learned at that time. One of my uncles used to smoke the salmon filets and without canning, they were kept in the unheated attic in cloth bags (maybe cotton pillow cases). Prior to eating, he would remove a filet and the meat would peel from the skin in thin sheets. Have you ever prepared fish that way? Regrettably, he died before I could learn all elements of his process and my mom didn’t know.
Wishing you and your furry kids a blessed week, gentle autumn weather and restful evenings. Peace
