I just love you! My homeowner's insurance lady was here today & I was getting my squash together to can & she was asking all these questions.... I said "get your phone & you-tube, look up Homestead Heart & subscribe, she taught me everything I know about canning". She subscribed & loves you too! I know this is from a couple years ago, but you have one for everything & I need to refer! Thank you Mrs.H. xoxo
I just love you guys videos. I’m an old (70) years old white guy from Georgia and just bought a property (5.76 acres ) in Heard county and am starting my homestead. I know I’m a late bloomer lol but gots start somewhere. I have learned a lot from you guys. Thanks for what you do.
My Kerr 1982 canning book includes summer squash, hot pack or raw pack. 25 minutes pints, 30 minutes quarts. The book also includes a recipe for nutmeg whipped squash. 1 qt canned squash, 1/2 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoon margarine (or butter), 1 tablespoon brown sugar, 1 teaspoon nutmeg. Cook all together then whip it all until smooth.
My grandmother would mix zucchini, a little onion, and tomatoes. I think she put oregano, salt and pepper in it, too. Processed as you would plain zucchini. That got my mother and me through many a lean month. Thank you for sharing all you knowledge! I was too young to really remember what she was doing, so finding your channel is a real blessing!
I admit, watching you makes me smile! I enjoyed your video very much and for what it's worth, you just got a 70+ year old man as a new subscriber! Keep debubbling your jars, but never your sweet personality! Bless you and yours!
My grandmother was born in 1899 and she canned everything, I’m so grateful that I had a few years of training under her guidance. She passed away in 1989. I just love the energy you pour into your videos and the memories you bring back of my grandmother. Thank you ❤️
You are so real. I looked everywhere to find a way to can squash and was told from the get-go, it should not be done. I smell a rebel. LOL I'm going to try this. Thank you. Love the dog.
Me too! I looked everywhere. I planted 8 zucchini plants this spring and was drowning this summer wishing I could pressure can some to enjoy this winter😂.
@@Afroyogacollective I just p canned 8 pts of zucchini with peppers, onions, and tomatoes. Salt and oregano. All jars sealed except 1. I'm using lug lids. I'm still learning how to use them. 1-piece lids. Good luck. BTW The zucchini I'm using are from a volunteer plant. I got 8 zucchinis from it.
I just fried up a jar of squash I canned last summer. I put some onions and butter in the skillet with the squash and all but licked my plate clean. It was delicious!! Thanks for all your tips.
Thank you Mrs. H. I just got a Pressure cooker, gotta give Glory to God, I was praying that the LORD would help me do more as far as preparing food for my pantry. Out of the blue, that night, my Son showed up with a Pressure Canner! God is so good! 💕. I have been wanting one for so long, my Son was SO SURPRISED at my excitement, because I had NOT shared that I wanted one! Now... I am doing ALL my homework to get started! So excited! Oh, and the canning tools, did NOT include lid magnet... So am gonna have to find one! Thank You for all YOU do, you are an inspiration to me! 💕
Ah, works well with small loads. I have a 22 cup coffee pot with spigot that I got at the thrift store cheap ( missing parts ). Works great for hot water.
I had to tell you that I absolutely love your canning style! Rebel canner! LOL You had me laughing my butt off! I'm just like you I can what I want when I want...I listen to my elders not the government when it comes to canning. Ooooh oooh watch me can some squash! Love your videos so much!! 😂😂😂
I have canned all my life and I still enjoy watching others can food. It is wonderful to see so many young women canning and encouraging others. Great job!
I just love how you show all the steps and all the possibilities and you are very thorough to cover canning procedures it really makes me smile. Don't forget that you can also make awesome zucchini bread with can squash
Woman you keep doing what you're doing. You living off the grill! give me a peace of mind to turn a space in garage to build a pantry to store my canning. I lesrn alot thank you.😄😍
If I lived close to you I'd be at your home everyday with my notebook taking notes 😂🤭 you have taught me so much through your videos I still have like 2000 questions but I'll keep watching your videos I'm sure you answer them some where thank you for sharing your knowledge my 10 yr old and I love watching you he laughs all the time he says mom she looked at the camera like you look at me when I mess up 😂😂😂😂😂 anyway we love you
Could you do a video showing how you make a squash casserole with these? I'm so glad you constantly remind the newbies to leave the canner once the time is done, and how to open it safely - there's so much bad advice out there. You're a very good teacher!
MS. H. I purchased a canner because of your inspiration. You have removed the fear factor. Anytime I want to can something I look for your vids. I canned 8 pints of ground beef today. I have followed your lead and purchased ground turkey too. That is my "to do" for tomorrow! Thank you so much! This is not just a teaching moment but a ministry.
Girl you are a younger version of ME....I love to watch your videos...I am 58 and I was raised OLD SCHOOL...I can everything I can get my hands on. My Husband tells his friends....he always looks up first when he wakes in the morning to make sure he is not inside a canning jar....LOL. LOVE LOVE your work...KEEP IT UP.
You are the most fun person to watch.. you make me want to can my squash that is about to start to come in. You are so country... Like me. You gotta be from Georgia! Love it!! I am a new Sub. I am not new to canning. Been canning for about 45 years. Granny canned squash. God bless you and your family and your channel. Keep em coming
After watching i miss eating" Calabacitas" In lg pan you cut a few zucchini in circle pieces& add drained whole can tomatoes smashed up a few onions rings on top and 1 drained can whole corn salt & pepper add water 1/2covering veggies low heat steam 20 mins til tender then smother with Jack cheese. Cover til cheese melts 👍
I love your personality.. Your a hoot.. I didn't know I could can squash! ! I will now.. I'm heading to the farmers market and get me some!!! Yumm..thank you..
”Ohhh, watch me watch me, ohhh, watch me watch me” 🤣 Thanks for giving us this Process. Like I understand how there isn't an ” approved method,” but they sell it in the stores!? Thank you for helping us become more independent ❤️🌱
YOU are just PRECIOUS!!! LOVE your VIDS!! I'm 65 year old Granny and I been canning since 12 years old! LOVE how you SHOWING MILLIONS of people HOW to be SELF SUFFICIENT!!! SIMPLE and to the POINT!! GOD BLESS!!!
You Southerners are so far ahead of us the squash look amazing I will be seeing anything like that for at least the next three months stay well and safe Rob from Canada
As the Ball canning book doesn’t show how to can these...and in light of your cautionary warning, I found, in my Kerr canning book, guidelines for canning summer and zucchini squash. The book, published in 1944, lists 40 minutes at 10 pounds pressure to process quart jars. Now, folks can do what they wish with this info. I offer it as historical guides. My experience...no problems except the squash comes out rather soft...boarderline mushy, but TASTY! Have a wonderful day. Blessings from Maine!
We're moving to our new 22ac homestead in a few weeks & I've been trying to build the courage for the canning I'll have ahead of me.. your videos are the best I've found! I love your personality, you're down to earth & keep it easy to follow along for beginners like myself. Keep pushing out the great content! 👍
It is not so intimidating once you pressure can a few times. The first few times I grossly underestimated how long the process would actually take! Good luck on your new homestead!
Thank you! We're so excited - it's something we've both wanted for a long time & the timing of our plan couldn't have worked out better with all the craziness going on with food supplies. A few ppl have told me that about canning & though I'm sure I can do it.. It's just the whole botchulism part that scares the bejesus our of me! Like, "Here, honey let's enjoy the fruits of our labor.. and oh, btw I'm sorry ahead of time if we happen to keel over dead afterward!" Ha 😂
I ABsolutely love all your videos!!! Thank you!! You help us all know more! I wish you were my neighbor!!! I just love ya sweet lady!! Father Bless you and yours always!!! 🙏🕊👑♥️
I did a trial run on my new presto canner and I think I lost 5 years off my life. Every little noise it made I had heart failure😂😂😂 still conquering my fear. Lol. No, that might be a little dramatic, but so excited about following all your recipe. You are a force to be reckoned with! Blessings sister.
Maybe Mrs. HH can debunk the fear of using pressure canners in a video?? I see that a lot and to be honest, I haven't used mine yet, but I am a bit nervous as well.
LOL. The first time I used my all american canner, and the circle wt. started to dance around I ran out of the room calling my husband saying" it"s getting ready to blow ! " My husband ran into the room,then walked out with his glasses pulled down on his nose telling me I need to read the book again. Since then I've used it with no problem.
Use an instant pot. Set it and forget it. 20 min. for veggies and 90 min.for meats. I have eaten some 4 years old and you wouldn't believe the freshness and flavor.
I cold pack and can my squash and zucchini. I use the time that one batch is processing to get my next batch ready to go. I've never had any problems with them. And boy are they good. I love squash and zucchinis. Canning for me is such fun. What a feeling of accomplishment too. When SHTF I know we will have food ready and waiting.
This is a recipe you may like. I don't shred my zucchini, I do hashbrown dices, about 1/4". My family, my grandma, aunties, cousins have been making this recipe forever. When I first had it I thought NOPE not eating that! I gave it to my sister and she said it was the best relish ever. SO I made some myself and now I can about 100 jars a year just so when people come snatch it from my shelf, I don't run out. I just double, triple quadrupole and have 2 canners going at a time. I don't even do pickle relish anymore now. Love your channel, and appreciate your efforts! Sweet Zucchini Relish. Ingredients: 12 Cups shredded unpeeled Zucchini Place Zucchini and Onion in a large, non - metallic *I do a small dice instead, but shredded tastes just like diced) 4 Cups chopped Onion bowl, and sprinkle with 5 Tablespoons of Canning 5 Tablespoons Canning Salt. Use your hands to evenly mix the salt throughout the Zucchini and Onion. Refrigerate overnight. The following day, drain the Zucchini and Onion in a colander. and rinse with cool water. Squeeze out excess water and set aside. Other Ingredients: 1 Red Bell Pepper, chopped 1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped 6 Cups White Sugar ( or Splenda) 2 1/2 Cups White Vinegar 1 heaping Tablespoon Clearjel hot 3/4 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg 3/4 Teaspoon Ground Turmeric 1 1/2 Teaspoons Celery Seed 1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper Place the Red and Green Bell Pepper, Sugar, Vinegar and Clearjel in a large pot. Add the Nutmeg, Turmeric, Celery Seed and Black Pepper. Stir to combine. Then add the drained Zucchini and Onion. Bring to a boil over medium high heat; then reduce the heat to medium low, and simmer 30 minutes. Meanwhile, sterilize 7 pint jars, and lids. Pack relish into sterilized jars, making sure there are no spaces or air pockets. ( Run table knife blade around edge to get rid of air pockets) Fill jars all the way to top. Screw on lids. Now you are going to process the Relish in a Water Bath: Place rack in the bottom of a large stockpot ( or canning pot); and fill halfway with boiling water. Carefully lower jars into pot using a jar holder. Pour in more boiling water, until tops of jars are covered by 2 inches of water. Bring water to a full boil, then cover and process for 30 minute.
This is the first video I've watched of yours, and I am HOOKED. I am just starting in my journey in canning and such....I plan on going through ALL of your videos when I can...this video was PACKED of such good information and I love your personality. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate you!
Thank you, thank you I just told my husband I to see what was the best way to save my squash without loosing one, growing more than we can eat. MRS. H you right on time.
I just found this channel looking for a how to can squash video and there you are. I’m so thankful I found this channel, it’s the BEST video I’ve seen yet. So thorough and well done! Thank you 😊
Justfinished 7 quarts and 10 pints of zucchinis. Thanks for the help. I always enjoy canning with you. I have 14 more zucchinis to can tomorrow then on to a big batch of "weeds". I have a field full of greens from what we used to call hitchhikers. They are a plant named Bidens Alba. Most people call them weeds but the leaves are eatable and are delicious. Yes I forage for food as well. My field is loaded with hitchhikers, wild lettuce, wild garlic and grape leaves. All eatable and healthy. Plus the best thing...FREE. Foraging is a lot of work, but is so wort it. The Dandelions are gone for the summer it looks like. But while they were at their peak, I got a lot of greens and made a big batch of Dandelion Jelly. Soooo good. It tastes almost like honey. Keep up the great work and videos so we can "work" together some more. All my best.
Getting ready to can about 25 pounds+ of Zucchini and Yellow Squash...Had to come back and refresh myself on how it is done.. Thank you for all you have taught me 65 years old and my 32 year old son on our canning journey..
Hi Mrs. Homestead Heart. I love watching you and find that your very informative. Now I must let you know that there is a Squash recipes in the Kerr Book. The title is Kerr Home Canning and Freezing Book. I've had this book more than 40 years. You can buy it on Amazon for $34.20. The Ball book do have a recipe for Squash but it not presser canning it a freezer recipe. Different companies have recipes that Ball do not have. Now I must get back to my canning. love you see you on youtube.
I have 21 quarts of squash thanks to you. Nobody I know cans squash they freeze it. Thank you so much I am learning new stuff every time I watch you and tomorrow I am doing Mr Hearts pickles. God Bless
Thank you so much! Just read through my new 16 qt Presto canner instruction booklet last night and you just demonstrated everything it said. ❤️ Have my mothers 22 qt but lost a plug (ordered), haven’t used it in years and it’s heavy. Didn’t know I was supposed to oil the gasket. Never read the instructions, just did what momma told me to do. and she was always with me when I used it. Now about canning that zucchini. Delmonte sells it in a can so I don’t mind canning my own too. I’ll can at my own risk. Not letting it go to waste! Thanks again for all you do! It’s like momma being right here reminding me how to.
The overgrown zucchini are also great for shredding and using for zucchini bread and zucchini cookies!! I love your spirit, so glad I found your homestead!! I have been gardening for years but just got chickens this year!!
I absolutely LOVE your videos!! My momma used to do all the canning stuff when I was a kid. We had a big family so our garden was several acres!! But I lost my momma when I was fairly young. And now, I honestly wish she was still here to ask my questions every time I can!! But you have answered so many questions that I would have asked her if she was here! I love and miss her terribly. But I am so grateful to have you all to go to!! May God bless you and yours abundantly!!😁
I saw a vid somewhere explaining what is meant by "not USDA approved". It just means that it has not been tested by USDA. Not necessarily that it is unsafe. I don't know if it was the Red headed woman ( woman with a gadget?). Does anyone know? I trust Ms. H wholeheartedly and just canned 8 pints of ground beef today.
I love to watch your videos , you have such a down to earth,funny personality, alomg with very informative canning info. I think your the cream of the crop honey!!!!❤love ya!!!!!❤!
Watching you can is a whole lot like watching my sister and I can! talking and joking all the while, and yes even yelling at the dog! I love your gregarious and cheerful demeanor! (By golly that is a beautiful jar of squash! I never thought it would can up well, so for 40 years I never tried it! Shame on me! ) Thanks gf!
I’m learning a lot from you! I’m getting 6-8 lbs of summer squash a day and I’m dehydrating every night and pickling small ones now. I’ve never cared for blanched and frozen squash because of the texture and I would imagine the texture of canned squash is similar but in light of the need for food preservation right now I will try your method.
Thank you, dear Sister, for your "Homestead Heart" posts. You have helped and encouraged me, and I love your videos. I am older, and have raised all my children, and several grandchildren; and I am now getting back to gardening and canning. I love your way of doing and teaching. I can relate and understand, so I can actually DO the things you teach. Thank you. May the Lord bless you for your true service.
I found a pretty current issue of the Ball canning guide at our local Goodwill which is great because it has the current guidelines, but my 1937 issue has a recipe for squash where you cook it and mash it before adding to the jar. I love looking at the differences between the two. Thank you for your awesome videos!
You are such a great teacher! Thank you for going through each step and explaining why you do it. I never knew to look through the hole to check if it was clear. It wasn't! I ran some toothpicks through it until I could see through the hole. And no one ever told me to oil the gasket. I appreciate your teaching and wisdom. God bless you and your family. Thank you!
I just went to Amazon and bought a 6 qt pressure cooker and a tool set that did include the magnet and bubbler, as well as the other tools you mentioned. You make it seems so easy, and the things you are canning are exactly the things I want to try to can. Thanks so much for your humor, practical advice, and your expertise! I hope I don't destroy my house.
I've used my 6qt pressure cooker to can for years. Why would instructions for canning be in the presto manual that came with it, if you can't can in it? Only does 4 pints, but handy for me, when I don't have enough produce for my 7qt. Presto
Oh my gosh, I just stumbled upon your channel, I LOVE IT!! You are SO down to earth. I laughed when you scolded the dog saying 'Boy, if you don't SHUT YOUR MOUTH'.....I've scolded my dog the same way so many times.....Thank You for being here. I'm trying to learn more about being self sufficient. I really enjoy all of the videos.
Im watching you on my lap top iv got to shut this down and put you on my Roku, i cant miss a momunt of this i love squash and your videos your going on the big screen.
Thank you for your video, It has helped me so much. I haven't canned by myself; I watched my grandmother, so I'm somewhat of a beginner and my husband has a garden and I need to start and learn canning some of the vegetables, so they won't go to waste. God bless!
Young lady you have inspired me to can. I have preserved for fifty plus years. Mama taught me easy to preserve fruit. She never canned. Guess we never had enough to can. I’m number seven of eight children. I bought used large canner forty five years ago. Largest presto I’ve ever seen. Was terrified of it. Used it to make large batch of Brunswick stew to share with family after mama passed away in 1999. I bought 23qt presto last week. I have processed and canned 24 qts of spaghetti sauce and 7 qts of tomato juice. I bought two pineapples and waiting for them to ripen to beautiful golden color to make pineapple jam. Presently cooking down half bushel apples to use in fried pies. Will freeze them as not sure how to can them. Last ones I tried to put up in jars had off smell when I opened. Didn’t taste. Seal was good but something was off. Heartbreaking when that happens. You are so sweet to share your knowledge with us newbies at canning. Have frozen for years and lost food when power went out for ten days in 1971 ice storm. Thank you. Found my canner at ace hardware in Cornelia Georgia. Good people there ordered them from Tampa ace warehouse.
Lol...I was frantically searching NCFHP for squash and zucchini....I was about to get excited!!! (I work in Extension, and I get this question about 50 times every spring) The best thing I got out of this is my reinforced desire to ensure that I have five foot tall counters...I slouch when I work because it's a long way down to normal counters!!!! Love your work!

I agree....great teacher!
angie Horn I wondered the same thing. Very articulate
I agree. And she’s funny too.
yes she is a natural
Excellent class, much obliged
One of my favorite canning tricks is putting the water in a pitcher. All jars full, lickety split!
Ah, works well with small loads. I have a 22 cup coffee pot with spigot that I got at the thrift store cheap ( missing parts ). Works great for hot water.
It never occurred to me! What a time saver!
@@GennyLsMoodDuJour neat idea!

Donna Golele when your granny canned squash did it come out mushy?
I put my bubbler in the jar before I add the water. So I don't forget.
Quail whistling in background . Sounds like heaven.
After watching i miss eating" Calabacitas"
In lg pan you cut a few zucchini in circle pieces& add drained whole can tomatoes smashed up a few onions rings on top and 1 drained can whole corn salt & pepper add water 1/2covering veggies low heat steam 20 mins til tender then smother with Jack cheese. Cover til cheese melts 👍
We always add green chili also
Mmmm, sounds yummy! Only thing missing for me is some bacon! Has anyone ever added bacon? 🤔
Sounds delicious!
Can you bake this covered or uncovered after adding the cheese?
My Abuelitas's calabacitas were soooo good! Your recipe made my mouth water! Just good home cooking.
I love your personality.. Your a hoot.. I didn't know I could can squash! ! I will now.. I'm heading to the farmers market and get me some!!! Yumm..thank you..

You are great i am 64 years olg and just love the way you explan things from Alabama

I love your personality, you're down to earth & keep it easy to follow along for beginners like myself. Keep pushing out the great content! 👍
It is not so intimidating once you pressure can a few times. The first few times I grossly underestimated how long the process would actually take! Good luck on your new homestead!
Thank you! We're so excited - it's something we've both wanted for a long time & the timing of our plan couldn't have worked out better with all the craziness going on with food supplies. A few ppl have told me that about canning & though I'm sure I can do it.. It's just the whole botchulism part that scares the bejesus our of me! Like, "Here, honey let's enjoy the fruits of our labor.. and oh, btw I'm sorry ahead of time if we happen to keel over dead afterward!" Ha 😂
I just love your videos! God bless you and you husband! You help so many...
Hello! How’s it going with your, homestead? I’m in the east coast and wish to get a homestead soon.
I ABsolutely love all your videos!!! Thank you!! You help us all know more! I wish you were my neighbor!!! I just love ya sweet lady!! Father Bless you and yours always!!! 🙏🕊👑♥️
I did a trial run on my new presto canner and I think I lost 5 years off my life. Every little noise it made I had heart failure😂😂😂 still conquering my fear. Lol. No, that might be a little dramatic, but so excited about following all your recipe. You are a force to be reckoned with! Blessings sister.
Maybe Mrs. HH can debunk the fear of using pressure canners in a video?? I see that a lot and to be honest, I haven't used mine yet, but I am a bit nervous as well.
LOL. The first time I used my all american canner, and the circle wt. started to dance around I ran out of the room calling my husband saying" it"s getting ready to blow ! " My husband ran into the room,then walked out with his glasses pulled down on his nose telling me I need to read the book again. Since then I've used it with no problem.
@@missylaplante1127 too funny!!
I feel you. I'm probably going to forget about it and wonder what the time is for or something.
Use an instant pot. Set it and forget it. 20 min. for veggies and 90 min.for meats. I have eaten some 4 years old and you wouldn't believe the freshness and flavor.
I cold pack and can my squash and zucchini. I use the time that one batch is processing to get my next batch ready to go. I've never had any problems with them. And boy are they good. I love squash and zucchinis. Canning for me is such fun. What a feeling of accomplishment too. When SHTF I know we will have food ready and waiting.
This is a recipe you may like. I don't shred my zucchini, I do hashbrown dices, about 1/4".
My family, my grandma, aunties, cousins have been making this recipe forever. When I first had it I thought NOPE not eating that! I gave it to my sister and she said it was the best relish ever. SO I made some myself and now I can about 100 jars a year just so when people come snatch it from my shelf, I don't run out. I just double, triple quadrupole and have 2 canners going at a time. I don't even do pickle relish anymore now.
Love your channel, and appreciate your efforts!
Sweet Zucchini Relish.
Ingredients:
12 Cups shredded unpeeled Zucchini Place Zucchini and Onion in a large, non - metallic *I do a small dice instead, but shredded tastes just like diced)
4 Cups chopped Onion bowl, and sprinkle with 5 Tablespoons of Canning
5 Tablespoons Canning Salt. Use your hands to evenly mix the salt throughout
the Zucchini and Onion. Refrigerate overnight.
The following day, drain the Zucchini and Onion in a colander.
and rinse with cool water. Squeeze out excess water and set aside.
Other Ingredients:
1 Red Bell Pepper, chopped
1 Green Bell Pepper, chopped
6 Cups White Sugar ( or Splenda)
2 1/2 Cups White Vinegar
1 heaping Tablespoon Clearjel hot
3/4 Teaspoon Ground Nutmeg
3/4 Teaspoon Ground Turmeric
1 1/2 Teaspoons Celery Seed
1/2 Teaspoon Ground Black Pepper
Place the Red and Green Bell Pepper, Sugar, Vinegar and Clearjel in a large pot.
Add the Nutmeg, Turmeric, Celery Seed and Black Pepper. Stir to combine.
Then add the drained Zucchini and Onion.
Bring to a boil over medium high heat; then reduce the heat to medium low, and
simmer 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, sterilize 7 pint jars, and lids.
Pack relish into sterilized jars, making sure there are no spaces or air pockets. ( Run
table knife blade around edge to get rid of air pockets) Fill jars all the way to top.
Screw on lids.
Now you are going to process the Relish in a Water Bath:
Place rack in the bottom of a large stockpot ( or canning pot); and fill halfway with
boiling water. Carefully lower jars into pot using a jar holder. Pour in more boiling water, until tops of jars are covered by 2 inches
of water. Bring water to a full boil, then cover and process for 30 minute.
Gonna make this! It sounds so good! Ty for sharing
This is the first video I've watched of yours, and I am HOOKED. I am just starting in my journey in canning and such....I plan on going through ALL of your videos when I can...this video was PACKED of such good information and I love your personality. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge, I appreciate you!
Thank you, thank you I just told my husband I to see what was the best way to save my squash without loosing one, growing more than we can eat. MRS. H you right on time.
Dear Lord, you are lovable. Thanks for sharing your joy. We need it. Blessings to you and your family.
I just found this channel looking for a how to can squash video and there you are. I’m so thankful I found this channel, it’s the BEST video I’ve seen yet. So thorough and well done! Thank you 😊
Enjoyed watching this one! ☺️👍🏾 Peace & blessings
I love your Family, wish I could spend a day with you, but I will have to settle for your videos. Keep it up!!
Justfinished 7 quarts and 10 pints of zucchinis. Thanks for the help. I always enjoy canning with you. I have 14 more zucchinis to can tomorrow then on to a big batch of "weeds". I have a field full of greens from what we used to call hitchhikers. They are a plant named Bidens Alba. Most people call them weeds but the leaves are eatable and are delicious. Yes I forage for food as well. My field is loaded with hitchhikers, wild lettuce, wild garlic and grape leaves. All eatable and healthy. Plus the best thing...FREE. Foraging is a lot of work, but is so wort it. The Dandelions are gone for the summer it looks like. But while they were at their peak, I got a lot of greens and made a big batch of Dandelion Jelly. Soooo good. It tastes almost like honey.
Keep up the great work and videos so we can "work" together some more.
All my best.
Wow! You are a good teacher.
Farmers market time has come and it’s time to can some more. Zucchini , sweet potatoes, and carrots are on my mind. Yummy!
If you could post the receipe for the casserole you use with your canned squash, I'd appreciate it
I was just going to ask that. Sounds yummy.

@@KezzyBoo Thanks!
@@KezzyBoo Thank you!
Getting ready to can about 25 pounds+ of Zucchini and Yellow Squash...Had to come back and refresh myself on how it is done.. Thank you for all you have taught me 65 years old and my 32 year old son on our canning journey..
Hi Mrs. Homestead Heart. I love watching you and find that your very informative. Now I must let you know that there is a Squash recipes in the Kerr Book. The title is Kerr Home Canning and Freezing Book. I've had this book more than 40 years. You can buy it on Amazon for $34.20. The Ball book do have a recipe for Squash but it not presser canning it a freezer recipe. Different companies have recipes that Ball do not have. Now I must get back to my canning. love you see you on youtube.
I have 21 quarts of squash thanks to you. Nobody I know cans squash they freeze it. Thank you so much I am learning new stuff every time I watch you and tomorrow I am doing Mr Hearts pickles. God Bless
I have never had squash casserole before, but I'm willing to can some of mama's extra squash this season. Thanks for the tips!
Love how you whacked the jar and kept going😁 real life kitchen video, great job!
Thank you so much! Just read through my new 16 qt Presto canner instruction booklet last night and you just demonstrated everything it said. ❤️ Have my mothers 22 qt but lost a plug (ordered), haven’t used it in years and it’s heavy. Didn’t know I was supposed to oil the gasket. Never read the instructions, just did what momma told me to do. and she was always with me when I used it. Now about canning that zucchini. Delmonte sells it in a can so I don’t mind canning my own too. I’ll can at my own risk. Not letting it go to waste! Thanks again for all you do! It’s like momma being right here reminding me how to.
Get an All American pressure canner and you'll never need to order parts again. Worth every penny
I just loved your look when you said "Don't" I'd be like yes mam. Much respect to you love. You are loved.
The overgrown zucchini are also great for shredding and using for zucchini bread and zucchini cookies!! I love your spirit, so glad I found your homestead!! I have been gardening for years but just got chickens this year!!
Good video, I never thought about canning squash and zucchini. Thank you
I absolutely LOVE your videos!! My momma used to do all the canning stuff when I was a kid. We had a big family so our garden was several acres!! But I lost my momma when I was fairly young. And now, I honestly wish she was still here to ask my questions every time I can!! But you have answered so many questions that I would have asked her if she was here! I love and miss her terribly. But I am so grateful to have you all to go to!! May God bless you and yours abundantly!!😁
Out of all the canning channel videos, you are my absolute favorite!!!
I just love your videos. Your personality is awesome! You make all this so fun
I just want to say God bless you and your family. You are heaven sent!!!
I love you guys! Because I watch you all the time my husband bought me the Ball canning book! I've learned so much1 Thank you for videos.
You are by far my favorite youtube channel!! Girl you sound just like me and my youngest daughter...love you!!!
I love how when you know that you are canning something that is not approved you make it very very clear. Thank you for that
I checked into that. Canning squash, winter squash, and pumpkin is USDA approved the way she’s doing it, in chunks, but not puréed. So, it’s good!
Summer squash is not approved, but I don't know what summer squash is. 😂 I thought it was all summer squash.
I saw a vid somewhere explaining what is meant by "not USDA approved". It just means that it has not been tested by USDA. Not necessarily that it is unsafe. I don't know if it was the Red headed woman ( woman with a gadget?). Does anyone know? I trust Ms. H wholeheartedly and just canned 8 pints of ground beef today.
I love to watch your videos , you have such a down to earth,funny personality, alomg with very informative canning info. I think your the cream of the crop honey!!!!❤love ya!!!!!❤!
Those look so good. Thanks for sharing. I wished we neighbors.💕
You've made the best how to can squash/zucchini video I have ever seen! Thank you!
That looks good. Seems like not blanching would keep them a little firmer. Which is the way I like it. You are such a blessing.
My old time favorite. I love the patty pan white squash. Love your teaching videos.
The jars with the different zukes and squash look so pretty. Thank you for this video!
I love you, you are a awesome teacher . I love canning. Have a great day and thank you.
I just love you! you make my heart smile!
Watching you can is a whole lot like watching my sister and I can! talking and joking all the while, and yes even yelling at the dog! I love your gregarious and cheerful demeanor! (By golly that is a beautiful jar of squash! I never thought it would can up well, so for 40 years I never tried it! Shame on me! ) Thanks gf!
I’m learning a lot from you! I’m getting 6-8 lbs of summer squash a day and I’m dehydrating every night and pickling small ones now. I’ve never cared for blanched and frozen squash because of the texture and I would imagine the texture of canned squash is similar but in light of the need for food preservation right now I will try your method.
I have learned so much from you already! And I get some giggles too watching you. God bless!
Thank you, dear Sister, for your "Homestead Heart" posts. You have helped and encouraged me, and I love your videos. I am older, and have raised all my children, and several grandchildren; and I am now getting back to gardening and canning. I love your way of doing and teaching. I can relate and understand, so I can actually DO the things you teach. Thank you. May the Lord bless you for your true service.
You are so FUN! Thank you for your teachings~ I love listening to you.
I found a pretty current issue of the Ball canning guide at our local Goodwill which is great because it has the current guidelines, but my 1937 issue has a recipe for squash where you cook it and mash it before adding to the jar. I love looking at the differences between the two. Thank you for your awesome videos!
I am so glad I found you. Love learning, laughing and smiling and you do make me smile. You make me want to can everything.
I love watching you. You are not only informative, you are entertaining. God bless and keep the videos coming.😊💕
You are such a great teacher! Thank you for going through each step and explaining why you do it. I never knew to look through the hole to check if it was clear. It wasn't! I ran some toothpicks through it until I could see through the hole. And no one ever told me to oil the gasket. I appreciate your teaching and wisdom. God bless you and your family. Thank you!
I just went to Amazon and bought a 6 qt pressure cooker and a tool set that did include the magnet and bubbler, as well as the other tools you mentioned. You make it seems so easy, and the things you are canning are exactly the things I want to try to can. Thanks so much for your humor, practical advice, and your expertise! I hope I don't destroy my house.
Be sure to use a rack under the jars or they'll crack.
A pressure cooker cannot be used to pressure can. A pressure canner CAN be used to pressure cook.
I've used my 6qt pressure cooker to can for years. Why would instructions for canning be in the presto manual that came with it, if you can't can in it? Only does 4 pints, but handy for me, when I don't have enough produce for my 7qt. Presto
Oh my gosh, I just stumbled upon your channel, I LOVE IT!! You are SO down to earth. I laughed when you scolded the dog saying 'Boy, if you don't SHUT YOUR MOUTH'.....I've scolded my dog the same way so many times.....Thank You for being here. I'm trying to learn more about being self sufficient. I really enjoy all of the videos.
Im watching you on my lap top iv got to shut this down and put you on my Roku, i cant miss a momunt of this i love squash and your videos your going on the big screen.
😂😂Thank you🤣🤣
So lighthearted! Love watching your channel!!
Thank you for your video, It has helped me so much. I haven't canned by myself; I watched my grandmother, so I'm somewhat of a beginner and my husband has a garden and I need to start and learn canning some of the vegetables, so they won't go to waste. God bless!
Young lady you have inspired me to can. I have preserved for fifty plus years. Mama taught me easy to preserve fruit. She never canned. Guess we never had enough to can. I’m number seven of eight children. I bought used large canner forty five years ago. Largest presto I’ve ever seen. Was terrified of it. Used it to make large batch of Brunswick stew to share with family after mama passed away in 1999. I bought 23qt presto last week. I have processed and canned 24 qts of spaghetti sauce and 7 qts of tomato juice. I bought two pineapples and waiting for them to ripen to beautiful golden color to make pineapple jam. Presently cooking down half bushel apples to use in fried pies. Will freeze them as not sure how to can them. Last ones I tried to put up in jars had off smell when I opened. Didn’t taste. Seal was good but something was off. Heartbreaking when that happens. You are so sweet to share your knowledge with us newbies at canning. Have frozen for years and lost food when power went out for ten days in 1971 ice storm. Thank you. Found my canner at ace hardware in Cornelia Georgia. Good people there ordered them from Tampa ace warehouse.
Just....don't. Cracked me up. Love this!
Lol...I was frantically searching NCFHP for squash and zucchini....I was about to get excited!!! (I work in Extension, and I get this question about 50 times every spring) The best thing I got out of this is my reinforced desire to ensure that I have five foot tall counters...I slouch when I work because it's a long way down to normal counters!!!! Love your work!
I just love watching you! sending blessings
I couldn’t find a magnet so my husband bought me a telescopic magnet pick up tool from the automotive section of Walmart!! Works great!
