🎉 Yay! Super proud of you for learning canning on your own!! 👏🏼 I can say that it gets easier as you can more and know what to expect. For making sauce, I bought an electric roaster at a thrift store that I can plug in outside to let the sauce simmer so it doesn’t make the kitchen so hot. (Also, it holds a lot - so less pans! And you can put water in the bottom so it doesn’t scorch!) As for the pickles, just use the jars that have lower headspace first (or go ahead and store them in the fridge, if that makes you feel better.) But they’ll most likely be just fine!

I learned to can 7 years ago after i got married. I do peaches and pickles every year, and sometimes pasta sauce. Its a learning curve but so worth it! When I boil my peaches to get the skins off they usually only boil for 30 or 40 seconds, which doesnt get them to squishy!

This reminded me that I too have laundry to do instead of scroll TH-cam 😭😂

I wanted to add another comment to give you a second product with the same ingredients - so if you peel your peaches there is still peach flesh left on there and really great flavor! So I boil the skins and pits in water to make a peach juice, and then make peach jelly out of the juice! Turns a waste product into more usable food for the family and brings down the cost of the peaches. Peach jelly is one of my favorites now! Just don’t add too much water or it will be too watered down - just cover the scraps with water. Pomona’s Pectin is a great low sugar pectin for making jams and jellies 😊

Wow! So proud of you to take up such a huge thing like canning! It does look like a lot of work but at the end you are just so proud at the result and i do think it's worth it. My dad started to make his own pickles but it seems like him and I are the only ones who like it (he makes it extremely vinegary lol 😂). 🎉

One tip that I didnt know the first time I canned - add a splash of white vinegar to your water bath, it keeps the jars nice and clean. If you have hard water at all the mineral deposits will make your jar look cloudy. Not harmful, just less esthetically pleasing and harder to wash the jars 😊

That processor brought back memories! Growing up my mom canned a good bit and she made applesauce and I loved turning the apples through that thing haha. Canning is so intimidating but definitely something I'd like to try sometime, I'd need the help of my mom though lol. I'm impressed that you undertook this by yourself with 4 kids at home! Love your videos!

I'm doing the same thing today!! Can't wait to watch!

I HATE canning by myself 😂 the only way its enjoyable is to do it with a partner! I get together with my mom and sisters every year to do peaches/pears, and have done salsa/spaghetti sauce/pickles with friends 😊

I’m inspired! I really wanted to try canning some of my garden produce this year but I was so daunted. So thank you for the vote of confidence and shared experience! ❤

Rach, it seems as though you did a fantastic job. But I also want to mention how nice it is to see you prepare for Elih’s arrival home. You’re such a great wife, I love watching you… I missed you on TH-cam. Come by more often. Even if you’re just cleaning.

Love your videos and have missed them. You are so down to earth.

I don't know if you have farmers markets around, but that's where I sourced my tomato's from and a lot of the farmers would do special deals for the bulk buying of produce

I canned for the first time this year too!

It’s Sarah Therese’s voice but it’s Rachel talking 😝

I absolutely love the way you not only do memory verses with your kiddos but also go into a whole explanation for the verse and tie in the gospel!! That's something I'm really looking forward to doing when I have kids

Chef's kiss! My organization-loving heart is happy seeing this!

Just now catching up on your videos and I love the island in your kitchen!! Goals!!

Loved it ❤

Loved your explanation of Grace. It's also my daughter's name ❤

I didn't know you were on TH-cam! 🤍 loved this type of vlog. Also I hadn't heard you speak for so long before and your voice is so similar to Sarah's 🥰

not me crying with your grace example 🥹 God is good🙌🏻🤍

So happy to see this notification! Just what I needed today especially the verse at the beginning. Thank you 💕

loved💙it!

Yay! So good to hear from you 🧡

I just checked my YT for something to watch while doing dishes and this pops up 😍 perfect timing 🥰

Oh yes……😅

Love this!!

I miss your video content! You were always so authentic and relatable. 😢☺️

That looks amazing, love how you managed to organize most of it right inside the pantry.

I’m going through this now I can’t escape my thoughts or panic I’m now taking Zoloft

Yours is a prime example of why not to seal up those shelf adjustable holes. I’m always shifting shelves, and wonder how anyone can set a shelf and not move it. All personality.

Beauuuutiful :))

Yes. This is the kind of content I love. Real life, It's 7pm but I'm gonna do it anyway, no spending spree, there's still mess at the end, it's not perfect but it's real and we can relate!

Thank u for sharing your story! I am going thru the same thing. Its the devil. Keep putting God 1st.

Nice work! The pantry looks great. If you have time to make a video about your budgeting strategy for everything including groceries, household bills, kids’ activities etc, I would love to watch that. :)

Watching this made me realize how similar her voice is to her sisters ❤

Love your videos 😊

I can’t get over your new place! It’s so beautiful and I’m so happy for you and your family ❤️

Love your videos. They’re like a refreshing non-competitive version of your sister. I feel like I can be myself with you! Like do we have organic sugar? Yes. We also have candy. Do we organize the pantry and it looks beautiful? Yes but we’re also up past bedtime doing it. So real!

What a transformation! Time well spent 👌🏻

Loving the laidback vlogs lately!

Great job. Best impromptu video ever.

Where are you shopping that items are THAT much on sale??

Awesome job, Rachel.

*promo sm* 😄

I love this! So relatable, and very relaxing.

This was so relaxing! I also really love your kitchen. What a beautiful space to be in. You have good taste. :)

Love it! I’m laughable because any time my husband is late, I eat whatever is leftover in the fridge and my daughter has pasta and chicken nuggets and either peas or spinach😂

I am soooo happy when I see you post!
