My amazing dehydrator- bit.ly/4bbH5ej
If you put a coffee filter on top of your dry ingredients you can vacuum seal the jars and it will last longer
Wow what a fabulous idea!!! Thank you for sharing that!!❤
Or use a cupcake liner turned upside down
I use cupcake paper liners.
@@stacymcclain3066that’s what I use
@@stacymcclain3066 Does the vacuum sealer still extract all the air with the liners in place like that?
You are doing great! Good for you. Don’t compare yourself to other preppers. You STARTED , and that is what matter s 🙂
This is true! And i wont stop 😊😊😊
@@TheExperimentalHomestead that’s great 🥰
I had a wonderful aunty in law to teach me to can. She started with peached the pears. I wish she was still with us.😢
Anything saved up is better than nothing. Great job.
Thank you so much. Happy to have more on the shelf and excited to dive deeper into canning in my second year!
Put a sheet Wax paper down if you spill you can still dump it into the jar.😊
Oops- someone saw my little spill 🤭
I like to add powdered milk to the dry ingredients if milk is needed for preparation. I also have powdered eggs & butter. And, I found maple sugar on Amazon I use in my oatmeal. I just try to make pantry mixes as complete as possible. 🥛 🥚 🧈 🍁 Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸
I love this tip so much. I dream dream DREAM of having a freeze dryer and making my own powdered milk and eggs some day! Mark my words when I make a video about it some day I will throw this screen shot in the video :p
Your channel was a recommended view from TH-cam, I’m so glad to see you starting out! Keep going, at one time I only had a few jars of jelly on my shelf. It builds quickly. Much respect I’m going to join your TH-cam family
Wow thank you so much for taking the time to write such a thoughtful comment. I am really grateful to have you here. I am excited to have a nice and healthy pantry by the end of this year. Stay tuned!
You have a great start to your pantry. One step at a time & keep building it.
Great job on your first video. Its not as easy as others think if they haven't done it.
You are so kind 🥰. I am so excited for this years garden and to compare 2023 and 2024's pantry. I really am having lots of fun.
@@TheExperimentalHomestead I'm excited for you & see you progress.
I normally have a good size garden & enjoyed making videos also but past 2 years I've been at my mom's house taking care of her. She's 81 & having serious health issues. I'm really hoping this year I could put in a few plants at her house.
@@redgingerbreadpam I hope your Mom is doing good, I understand how this affects your family. Thinking of you
@@countycalling awe thank you so much. She is doing pretty good.
So happy to see you getting started…you go girl…it’s very necessary
It was so challenging to be a young adult through c0v1d and now the cost of living and inflation.. it does indeed feel very necessary. The few things on my pantry shelf give me peace of mind, and I can't wait to see how it grows this year 😌
Southern Oregon here 👋
I’m just now getting into ‘meals in a jar’ prepping.
Thanks for sharing 💖
Hello timezone friend! I loveeee Oregon. Thank you for taking the time to watch my videos it means so much to me
All everything I read and researched it in books and then on the web. I’m self taught! Then like a dumpy I sold all of my canning supplies including the canners. Some days I just don’t think ahead. Wish I had them now!
Oh man! It isn't too late I promise. I went to my local thrift store and I found THREE of my identical water bath canners. You could absolutely get into it again- it is a great time because the food prices are starting to get crazy. Reach out anytime if you need any assistance getting back into it. :)
Wonderful presentation and it’s something I’ve not thought about doing, but I think I just might do some of all three of those. Did you happen to mention pan size and temp. & time. I may have missed that. It would be nice to see a video of you doing up one of your mixes. Looking forward to more. I can and pressure can and freeze. Have a good day!❤😊
👋 Hey. Great the question. I use my 2.5 quart oval corningware to make the cornbread and brownies, so I think 9 x 13 dish would work well. The muffins make a dozen. The temperature, bake time, and recipes are in the description.
I would love to bake up one of these with you guys, what a fun idea. I am so glad you are enjoying your time on my channel and i really appreciate your kind words. I look forward to canning projects with you! Im thinking about canning up some dijon mustard 😋
Great video, thank you! I will be making these for my pantry!! God bless! 😊
I am so happy to hear you liked the video. Your support is much appreciated. I tried the brownie mix last weekend and they were so fudgey and delicious on a snow day. Enjoy!
Very cool and great recipes. Thank you very much for showing the "how to" on all those yummy (future) treats 🙂
Thank you for taking time out of your day to hang out with me in the kitchen ♡♡♡♡
Great video. Looking forward to seeing more from you. Good luck 🍀 with your channel.
Thank you kindly♡ thank you for stopping by.
@@TheExperimentalHomestead you're welcome
You did a good job with your video. Thanks for the info!
Thank you kindly!♡♡
so many good returns!
What a great video. Thank you for sharing your journey.
Thank you!!!
Fun! You did great for your first video!!! 💖🙏🤗 I'm totally making these!
Thank you so much for your compliment - I truly am having fun as well. I am excited to learn saurkraut soon as we eat so much of it here. I hope you love the jars. We tried the brownie mix this weekend and it was actually amazing so I can officially vouch for all three recipes now.
@@TheExperimentalHomestead Yay! I can't wait to try them. 😋
Great idea to do this! I’m starting canning and I ❤ to bake! Greetings from Belgium.
@@carinevanhoutvinck8261 Im so excited for you! Its very fulfilling
Congratulations on your pantry; it a beautiful start…keep prepping.
Thank you kind friend. I am so excited to see this years garden I will have so much to preserve.
New here! Great ideal. A favorite if mine to keep on hand is Pancake/Waffle mix.
Love the pancake mix idea! Welcome to the channel I am so happy to have you here♡♡
Hello. You have to start somewhere. You can do jams, jellies, pie fillings and vinegar based foods all via water bath canning.
I was so lucky to be gifted my Omas water bath canner this year its been so fun to learn. I cant wait for summer I made a list of everything I want to make. I might even treat myself to a pressure canner for my 31st birthday.
Good job for your first video
Thank you so much! I am having fun.
Great job
Wlthank you so much♡
Great video! Would you consider doing a video making something using your jar goods?
Thank you for taking time out of your day to watch. That is not a bad idea! Thank you for the suggestion.
Love this. Great idea!
Im so happy you think so! I am suprised how well recieved this video has been I am thinking about doing more mason jar mix videos in the future.
Enjoyed this ! Thank you for sharing !
Thank you for your comment! I am so glad you enjoyed it and I am so glad to have you over here in my little corner of youtube. You have a great day!
I'm new at this. I'm starting from scratch. I'm handicap so my garden is slow getting started thus year. Last year was a bust😪 I really want to can veggies and mixes . Someone on utube said don't buy jars but u don't know how else to get them because I don't get out to look at places. I'm looking forward to doing this.
Hey! You do what you can. I think some people put guidelines out on the Internet for best sustainable practices, and since jars can be abundant second-hand, thats why they say that. But you are absolutely correct that sometimes these lines of thought do not consider the differently abled. If you are not "canning" and just doing dry storage like these, then you could reuse old pasta jars or whichever you may already have at home. I am excited for your new journey. Thank you for taking the time to watch my video and chatting with me. ♡
Good for you,you will be glad you have made this journey.
I am so excited to preserve so many garden treasures this year to add to it. Perhaps ill be able to make a pantry tour video. This year it was so small I could only make a short video 😛
Welcome
Hello! 🥰
Good job ❤
Thank you kindly! I hope to make many videos for you to enjoy, friend
You did pretty good for your first video 😇 but may I say just be you 👆be natural and 🥰 I’m on my first cup of coffee this morning 😁 ☕️ ☕️😉 so I hope I’m making sense 😂 I really enjoyed your video though 😇 I to am from the great northwest here in OREGON 🌲
Hello! And thank you.
I'm looking forward to your next video! Well done. X
I really appreciate your kind words. Nice to have you here!
Great vid & great inspiration. I’m right here with you. Also self taught
Were breaking cycles here! We got this.
Loved watching your video & thank you for giving the recipes typed out!
Thank you so much for your kind words. As a not-yet-monetized youtuber its risky to put the recipes in the description because i risk losing the views that will get me monetized. But as a viewer i really appreciate when people do it.
Happy to have you in my little corner of youtube♡
Great idea! I’m totally going to do this! Ps. I think we’re neighbors! I’m in federal way
Howdy neighbour! I have to tell you these jars are so great so nice to whip together an easy cornbread for a potluck you forgot about. Not speaking from experience at allllll 😉 thank you so much for taking the time to watch my video!♡
I feel the same about our cornbread 🤣 Haven’t thought about premix storage. Great idea!
Love me some corn bread 🥰🤪
Hello
U R doing a great job so far ❤❤❤ 🤗🤗
Wow I really appeciate that
Hi great video. Are thoses 1 pint jars. You could use bananas instead of pumpkin. Im in the UK and we dont get pumpkin really except might find cans at thankgiving but rare.
Thats a really great idea. Banana muffins! Could add chocolate chips and/or walnuts. I myself have a freezer full to the brim of pumpkin puree from halloween that I need to eat up. I also canned up some apple butter which could be fun with butterscotch chips for carsmel apple muffins. Mmmmmm. Have a great day!
These are quart jars :)
U can’t grow hard squashes in England?
Nice start! I enjoyed your video and will be making up some myself. BTW, where in the PNW are you? We’re in Cowlitz County
I am so happy that you enjoyed the video! I am new to youtube, so it's so nice to hear I am doing things well. I am actually in Canada 🇨🇦 but just a short drive to Bellingham.
Hi i love making dry ingredients and spices like taco seasoning and more. You did great. Keep up the good work
Where are you from? I’m in Michigan. You should get apo box because sometimes ppl like to send gifts. Just a thought. Hook luck
Good morning! I'm very happy to hear you liked my first real youtube video! I just looked into a PO box and I wont rule it out for the future. I never in a million years would have expected anyone would want to send me things so it never dawned on me. Perhaps in the future! Its a bit expensive for me at the moment.
Oh! Also! I am on the west coast but my partner is from Michigan so I do visit. Too bad about the Lions, huh? (If you watch football)
@@TheExperimentalHomestead i used to live in California loved it but my sons wanted to move back to this cold weather lol I’m right on Indiana state line…during winter i love to make soups and such. My grandkids like to come over and help so these pre measured items will help alot so they think they are making something all their own.
Oh nice! I have been as far north as munising and down to Detroit and even further south into Toledo. I have not yet seen the west side of your State but maybe next time! My partner tells me that apple season is fantastic, so I think we are aiming to return in autumn some year.
@@TheExperimentalHomestead great time to go
Good day, I'm a new subscriber and I love watching homestead videos, especially if I learned something. I will make some cornbread dry mixes and maybe the other two to give away as gifts, but I do want to make some corn bread. Thank you have a nice day 😀🙏🏽👍🏽💖
Hello! I am very happy to have you here. I appreciate your kind words. You will love this cornbread! Thank you for supporting me, just a regular girl. I couldn't do it without you ♡

Comment for the algorithm. 😊
New sub #209! 🎉
Sacramento, California USA 🇺🇸
I cannot believe I ever made it to the 200s! I am so lucky to have my number 209 here to celebrate with :D Welcome I hope you stick around.
Me too! You go girl
@@Jennifer_Grems thank you so much!!!
Great video! Good luck on your journey. Not sure what part of Canada you are in, I am in New Brunswick.
Hello! Welcome! Thank you for the compliment. I am waaaaay over on the west coast 😊
Greetings from halfway in between you two…..
Ontario!
@@CanadianCarol yay! All my Canadian friends :)
Will the baking powder still be good? When a box cake is expired it does not rise?
This is a really good question. I personally don't have an issue with using baking soda past its expiration but I would probably get a bit weird about it as it approached a year. Alas, these baking mixes would never last a year for me so I dont have to worry. I do believe the expiration does start to impact the rising ability. So, there are options here. You could freeze your mixes if you have lots of freezer spaces, you could just note to use them sooner or write the expiration on the baking mix for your comfort. You could also omit the baking soda and then add it with the wet ingredients.
I hope this was helpful!
Hi, any mixes that are past expiration date I add baking powder. I judge how much baking powder (using a half to one teaspoon) by how long the product has expired.
Just made a 11 month expired box of blueberry muffin mix turned out great. Also add the baking power little extra liquid and you'll have great pancakes😊
Rainy day I'm going to jar your mixed today. Thanks😊
I just checked the transcript, and rechecked the video.When making your brownies, you missed the baking powder.
Yes i got a bit kerfuffled, i fixed my jars but do follow the written recipe for that one. ♡
Great recipes, please slow down when you say add ingredients.
Hello! Thank you - noted for next time.
I have "Make a Mix Cookery" "More Make a Mix Cookery" and "Complete Make a Mix" cookbooks. All three are coauthored by Karine Eliason, Nevada Harward, and Madeline Westover, three home economists. They cover everything from dry, shelf stable mixes, and seasoning mixes, to freezer mixes. I have had mine 40+ years. I love them.
This is interesting!
Hi, I am trying to find the cookbooks you talk about, however I am having trouble finding them. Could you please help?
@jackiewilson-hp5pj (used copies) of "MAKE A MIX COOKERY" & "MORE MAKE A MIX COOKERY" can be found online by using the Google search bar.
I'm not seeing the "COMPLETE MAKE A MIX," However, that one, simply combined some of the more popular recipes from the first two books into one book. Only a few additional recipes are included.
@jackiewilson-hp5pj If you have a used book store, or a thrift store that sells used books, that might be a good place to look, or you possibly may find copies at your local library.
@jackiewilson-hp5pj I found the first two books, available as used copies. I left you a message telling you where I found them, but my message got removed. I did not find the third book, but it is simply a combination of the more popular recipes from the first two books, with just a few new recipes, not found in books one and two added to it.
Keep trying, don't give up.. speak slower when saying recipe..quarts or pints...speed up filling jars...
Thank you kindly. If you happened to miss the recipe they are posted in the description as well. All the jars are quarts. Hope that helps for now :)
