    With the garlic you can also put the whole lot blitzed into a freezer bag, push it flat and lay on a tray, then use a ruler to indent a grid onto it, freeze and then you just snap off a square from frozen when needed. Saves time on the scooping and takes up less space in the freezer.

    Becky your filming and editing skills have improved so much. I love the way when you go from room to room, the camera is already there when you come in. It makes us feel like we made that journey with you. Also when you change the position of the camera. It makes it really interesting. Well done. I'm sure it take heaps of time to make all that happen. You have become quite the pro at this. Thanks for all the time and effort you put into each video.

    My grandmother's hard and fast rule when making jellies, jams or preserves with blackberries or blue berries was always use brown sugar instead of white sugar. She used white sugar when making her other jellies etc, but said always use brown sugar with the dark color berries. It really does change and enhance the flavor.

    Hi beccy, I found out another way of preserving garlic and I do it all the times so easy. I chop the garlic in my mixer with half an onion, put it in a jar put garlic and onion mixed together and top the jar with oil of your choice to cover the garlic and put it in the fridge. And use as needed lasts for ages.so you don't get a smell of garlic in you freezer xx

      Food safety experts don't recommend storing garlic in oil in the refrigerator for more than 4 days and never to store garlic in oil at room temperature. Because the garlic hasn't been pasteurized by heat to destroy botulism spores there is a very real risk that you may cause serious illness or death.

    Becky, I love watching your videos. Hearing baby A in the background is so precious. I also get a laugh out of seeing your dogs pop in and out of the kitchen. I have two border collies and they are constantly under foot when I am cooking. I live in Quinte West, Ontario and in the winter, we use our deck just off the kitchen as an extra fridge. I too am expanding my garden this year and look forward to what I can harvest right along with you.

    Becky, I have the same Presto Electric canner and according to the directions water bath canning requires water to the fill line. You are filling it to above your jars as we would with a "normal" water bath canner. Not sure you will get a long term seal on your items

    The cookie scoop for the garlic is genius! I put it in ice cube trays but I like your idea better.

  • @tracyg4783

    I love your garlic idea. I buy the pealed garlic at Sams and I will have to try that next time. I also highly recommend keeping some of your freeze dried onions not powdered, they are great to toss into recipes. I love them in my meatballs because you get the chunks of onions without the meatballs getting to loose

    Thank you for this video. I went to Sam's and purchased a bag of garlic that I will be processing tomorrow. I have learned so much from watching your videos. You are the reason that I'm now canning at 56yrs old. Keep bringing the videos because they are encouraging, wonderful and inspiring. I also love the videos of you and your mom continue that bond. You remind me of my mom and myself. God Bless You!!!

    Hi Becky!!! You never cease to amaze me. Now you're doing it all along with caring for your newborn baby!!! My goodness!!!
    I wanted to share a lil tip from my late Grandma who was an amazing cook!!!
    To speed up getting the fat out of the chicken broth , she added ice cubes to the broth and that made short work of it.
    I'd let the broth cool a bit first, then add the cubes, just so that you dont have to water down the broth too much. Also the shallower the container that you have the broth in, the less ice cubes that you'll need to add.
    Hope that helps.
    Big hugs and much love, and sooooo much respect and admiration!!! You are an 8th wonder!!!
    🍃🤗😍🍃

    From the thumbnail pic, I figured this was more cookie dough. Pleasant surprise to instead see a great way to have fresh garlic on deck 24/7! If I do this, it will definitely be will pre-peeled lol. Also, loved ALL your cookie dough recipes! You inspired me, and I was able to make cookie doughs all through December and my family was smitten to receive them come Christmas. Starting earlier this year!

    Stopping the video just to say how you inspire me so much. I’m sitting here thinking hmm French bread cut in half horizontally smear some thick butter and a bunch of that garlic sprinkle with a little parsley and paprika and a bit of that onion powder and bake until, crispy. And make a couple extra wrapped tightly with foil and then plastic wrap to freeze. Get it out and thaw it partially or not at all before baking. Perfect garlic bread ready when you want it.

    Love how you shared how you saved your garlic. I so will do this in the future. Good catch of the tray too! It has to feel so good to have the garlic ready now and feel even better that you saved it before losing it or turning it into compost but even then it is not a waste even though it may feel like it. A very nice productive day you shared made me feel really lazy today. Only got 4 hours of sleep last night.

    You could add chicken feet as well which adds extra nutrients and collagen. I used to make garlic jelly with our extra garlic. We used it over pork and chicken, even over cream cheese. I've made garlic and onion powder. I only powdered small 4 oz jelly jar size amounts because if I made larger batches the powder gets really hard before I used it up. I dehydrated and not freeze dried maybe that's why.

    • @melindawargowsky8176

      I vacuum packed my extra onion powder in the littlest mason jars. Put a round of paper towel or coffee filter a little bigger than the lid to keep the powder from coming up into the vacuum tube. My onion powder is staying separated😊

    Next time, consider using a Food Saver to eliminate the need to double bag smelly stuff. Also, why in the world don't you use a liquid measuring cup or a ladle to scoop and pour that hot broth into your jars? Sometimes I really worry about your safety.
