Do you sterilize the jars before canning?
@@synabtic1 I do not typically sterilize my jars first. I know that it has been the standard in the past but there has been recent studies to come out saying that it is no longer necessary if you are processing jars longer than 10 min. This is due to the fact that it will actually be sterilized in the process of canning it with the food in the jars.
Could i make the last round withoud salt just water to get more of the salt out of the fat ? Otherwise the fat Taste quite salty to me
@@satoshinakamoto5813 If you’re wanting to purify it to use in soaps and other things that you don’t want to smell beefy, then you need to keep the salt in because the salt is what draws out the “beefiness”. If your just using the tallow for cooking/frying then you wouldn’t need to use salt or purify it. So, it really depends on what your wanting to use the tallow for.
@@lifewithaprons you missed my point. I mean lets say i did 3 rounds with water and salt. But the tallow Taste very salty now. Would it make sense to Do a 4rd round with only water and no salt to reduce the saltyness in the tallow? Its for soap and balm and im not sure if its good for that if the tallow is salty
@@satoshinakamoto5813 You could definitely give it a try! I use this method and I don't have a problem using it in my soaps, I have not tried it for a lip balm, that would be the only thing that might taste salty?
Good information, Thank You. But you don't need to the music.
Thanks for watching!
How do I know if it worked?
@@shannonrodgers3715 I leave my jars on the counter for 12-24 hours and then check the lid by tugging on it, to make sure it sealed properly before storing it on the shelf. Hope that helps!
@@lifewithaprons i did sweet potato’s and at the bottom there is like a white foam is that normal?
@@shannonrodgers3715 I have not canned sweet potatoes, so I’m not sure what you are referring to as far as the white foam on the bottom.
After opening the canned tomatoes, you can always whiz them in the blender for a few seconds. That gets rid of the skins in a flash! I recently discovered 3 pound boxes of grape tomatoes on sale at my local supermarket for only $1.99 each! So guess who bought four of them and has a lot of pints and quarts of freshly canned tomatoes now? ! 🍅🥰
That's an excellent idea!
Could you just use parchment paper if you don’t have the mats?
Absolutely! I used to use those before I got the mats!
Garcías y bendiciones…..Amen
I have a giant elderberry growing in my yard, how can I tell if the berries are of the “safe” variety?
@@BrandonDraper From my research all elderberry varieties are safe when consumed properly. Most elderberries contain a toxin called glycoside, which is why it is advised to never eat them raw. But, when you cook them, it in a sense, neutralizes the toxin and they become safe for the body. To identify what type of elderberry you have, check the color of the berries (and the flowers before they produce berries) and the type of leaves they produce, there are some excellent sites that can help with identification, but there are also some great plant apps where you can snap a picture and it will identify it for you. I like to use the app Picture This, it is free and has been an excellent resource for me. Hope that helps!
@@lifewithaprons Amazing, thank you!! I’ve dug a lot to try to identify the variety and can’t find it for the life of me. I think it may be unique. It has green/purple leaves, pink flowers, pink berries that eventually turn deep purple to almost black.
@@BrandonDraper Here is one more site that might help, it has a bunch of varieties described here with pictures, it sounds like yours is on here...normsfarms.com/blogs/growing-and-harvesting-elderberry/are-elderberry-bushes-poisonous
How long do tomatoes last?
When they are canned they will last several years in the jar, thanks for watching!
Thank you!
I love how you can fresh tomatoes definitely I will be making this blessings process recipe. Thanks
@@francescruz8033 Thank you 😊
Do simple, I will do this because I’ve got so many , I started freezing ❤
Thank you so much… love the video and the information about the pollen. Just wanted to ask, how much water should I add to the pot before the cherry tomatoes
I would do about 1 cup of water to 5 - 8 cups of tomatoes. You don't need a lot of water because the cherry tomatoes will release there juices when heated. Enjoy your canning!
Thank you so much !!! Excited about it!!!Going to try today!!!
Glad I came across your video I suffer bad with fall allergies and I go crazy when I am outside outside picking tomatoes this year my garden has went crazy I can't keep up ran out of Jars no one had any so I bagged up lot of tomatoes and Shared with my. Neighbors I have husky cherry and they have put on tons so this video will be very helpful. Do you have video on salsa using cherry tomatoes? Also I don't have basement or seller and my kitchen stays very hot when cooking and last year I put in my cabinet but everything turned dark at top so I threw them out 😢this year I'm turning coat closet into canning storage I built 3 shelves and they already full still have good month before it freezes help help help.
@@cherlbennett3915 Way to go on all the tomatoes! I don’t have a video on salsa with cherry tomatoes but that is an excellent idea, I’m putting it on my list 😊
How long to cook the tomatoes?
I am doing this today!! How long would you water bath 1/2 gallon jars
Hi! I would process the 1/2 gallon jars for 50 minutes. Thanks!
No sound .
Hey! I have checked and it has sound from my end, I haven't had anyone else have trouble with the sound. So sorry you haven't been able to hear it!
Great tip to dehydrate or ferment.
Thanks for watching!
Great video. We have a ton of cherry tomatoes. I’ve been searching TH-cam and after reviewing many video, this is the method we will be using. I especially loved your comments about leaving the pollen on, it makes so much sense. Thanks for the great video!
Thanks so much for the feedback, I'm so glad this video is helpful!!
a proper recipe with weights and times ( and UK translation would be useful
Thanks for the feedback!
Thank you for sharing! How many cups of mulberries do you think you used?
Hi! Thanks for watching….I probably had close to 30 cups of mulberries, but I had been collecting over several days before I made the batch :)
Your Amazing Amanda, thanks for the tips on garlic.
You are so welcome!
Well done!
Interesting. I wonder about the taste.
The taste is actually really good, it just doesn’t look as pretty and doesn’t have as good of a rise 😊
Wow
I would say have the butcher to grind it for you . when you put it in that crockpot , put that crockpot outside or in your garage . It does create a smell. Not the most pleasant smell to have inside your house. Ask me how I know.
I’m making some now for the first time. Transferring the crockpot to the patio now! Thanks for the heads up! 😅
Yes, all good ideas!
Thank you so much for sharing this
You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!
Domestic rabbit is fabulous. Far better than wild rabbit. The poop is awsome fertilizer also.
I agree!
I remember when I was a kid -a long time ago- my grandpa had wheat that was in grain bin that got buggy. I had pigs. We bucket the wheat and let it sour with water over night. The pigs loved it.
Yes they love the fermented stuff!!
Need to get pigs again. Had them while kids in FFA. All graduated and out of pigs.
I took FFA when I was in high school, I was a suburban girl at the time and had no idea that one day I would operate a homestead! We love doing pigs, just butchered ours for the year! Thanks for watching!
B'H. Thankyou!
Thanks for watching!
As a side note… LWA has the best sourdough in the state
☺
Just found your video and was wondering do you use unsalted or salted butter? I always get confused with pie crust because I’m hearing all the bakers say to use unsalted butter. If I do use salted butter I’m never sure if I should readjust or leave out the salt that is stated in the recipe. Any help you can give I’d appreciate it, thank you!
I use salted butter, I always have and have never tasted the difference! I think you could use either and it will turn out great, no need to adjust the salt.
The flames looked like they were smoking.. Were they? is it just a wick trimming to stop? Do you need to keep the holder full so there's no flame jump on the wick? I'm currently using copper tubing to sleeve the wick through to remove flame jump. Haven't yet tried olive oil, using liquid paraffin currently. Nicely done video!
Yes, it does smoke some so you don't want to put it on a shelf or anything like that where there is something above it. I don't need to keep the holder full, I just fill it once it goes down a bit and I don't have a problem. Thanks for the feedback!
Besides the concerns with the off gases related to candles that are made in China, or candles made with questionable materials, you need to consider that while the olive oil is super to use for health, the wire she is using may be a concern. If the jewelry wire is not sterling silver and it is a metal that might be sourced from China or made with heavy metals like Cadmium or Lead, then when the candle is heating the wire, you are probably also breathing that metal. This is the issue with the metal disks that manufacturers use to secure the wicks in cheaper candles from the Dollar Store. The wicks are also made with lead and the cotton is secured around the lead piece of metel.
Thanks for the info., that is definitely something to consider!
Making this today!!!! Thank you for this video!
Just some FYI.. can save you time... freeze the butter.. then use cheese grater .. makes it easier.... Just Saiyan....
Great idea! Thanks for watching!
Also was your butter very cold like out of the frig or room temp?
Good question, yes the butter is cold. Thanks for watching!
That gadget is handy dandy for the butter. What is it called and where did you get it from?
It is called a butter cutter or slicer, I love that tool! You can find it here...amzn.to/3MD9f7l
I love Weck jars too! Great video! Thank you so much for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching! Yep, it is hard to beat a weck jar!

What brand of feed do you use? We have just started raising pigs. We are using Modesto Milling as our feed. It is organic and non GMO
Hey! We use a local feed mill that blends their own non GMO 16% hog feed.
Great video! Once it is finished, do you store it in the refrigerator with a plastic lid? How do you store it once it is done? How long will it last?
Thanks for watching and great question! I store mine in the pantry with a plastic lid, just like I would apple cider vinegar from the store. I have kept mine in the pantry for 6+ months!
Great instructions, good work, thanks for sharing!
Glad it was helpful!
You have literally been a machine in the kitchen this week...what a stockpile! Well done!!
😊 thank you
Your family is awesome! You all work together so well. Great job, mom and dad.
Thank you so much!
Why all the refrigeration???
It helps to keep the butter cold :)
Well done guys!!! My fav part was the victory celebration at the end 😂
Learning a lot from you!! Thank you!
