    TIP for storing empty jars: can't remember where I saw this but when you empty a jar, wash it and fill it with water and put the lid back on. Then store it in your empty spot. That way if you ever need water, you have some. If not, use it for something else when you need the jar. Brilliant!

      I heard it from the Provident Prepper. They recommend sterilizing water a batch at a time in the jars so it can be used without needing to filter if needed.

      @dannmartinez2145 Excellent tip. But be sure the jars are not in direct sunlight with water in them. The water acts like a magnifier, and it can start a fire. Ask me how I know. (Actually, it wasn’t me that started the fire, but I was still at home when my mother did.)

      I thank you so much for posting this comment. I prefer to reuse and repurposed a great deal of stuff most people consider to be trash. On of my favorite things to do when I purchase certain items such as onions, carrots, bell peppers, garlic, ginger, or any other items is to prepare it for cooking use and fill up glass jars. I store them in my fridge until I am ready to cook something. This is something I started doing years ago to avoid having to do it when I wanted to add them to the meals I was cooking. I use them pretty fasy, and nothing was ever wasted.

    Those canned fruits, vegetables, and meats look wonderful. I encourage you to put a 3-4 inch barrier on the front sides of your racks for security purposes (like earthquakes, accidents, etc). Also, you can turn your storage jars upside down in the boxes so they stay cleaner. I also put wax paper or shelving liner in the base of the boxes to help keep the rims safe from damage. With newly purchased jars, I take the lids and bands off the jars and store separately. I think maybe the lids will last longer and be better for canning if they are not compressed with the bands. This is a wonderful pantry!

      If you water bath can you can reuse the jars from your stores, as long as the lid isn’t damaged it’s good to go.

    If you need one more avenue to use up peaches try Rosy Peach Banana Jam. (You can find recipes on-line). Everybody loves this stuff!
    If you're not going through the pears try heating them up and putting a pinch or two of apple pie spice in them (and even a dollop of cherry juice to make them pretty). warm spiced pears are very nice.

    I accidentally stumbled onto your video and was fascinated with all that you have canned and your enthusiasm in sharing information. The only “canning” I do is making kimchee. I often invite about 6 to 8 people over who have never made kimchee and put them to work. After 4 hours we have canned enough for everyone to go home with a few jars each. I only have surplus foods to cover for two weeks, I call it my hurricane food. Here in Louisiana, you should be prepared. I am. Thanks again!

      With canning it can last up to 5 years if done right but I’d recommend using them within 2 years depending on what it is, if left in direct light it may discolour but it should be edible.
      It also really depends on what you’re storing for, i as a prepper look for long term whilst some like to store for the winter.

    First time to your channel! Super inspiring! You should definitely render lard! It’s soooo easy! We raise pigs for butcher and I felt intimidated to try to render lard. It’s depressing to think how much I wasted before I got brave enough to try. So simple! I put mine in the crockpot on low and turn the lid offset enough to allow steam to escape. Give it a stir every once in a while, then when it’s all melted we run through a coffee filter into mason jars. Let it cool down a bit before throwing a lid on. That’s it! Shelf stable. So cool!

One of the first things I noticed in your thumbnail is the post closest to you is leaning out. I don’t know if it just looks that way from angle of photo.

    This was extremely satisfying! You have been my BIGGEST inspiration to can my own food. I've always had an interest in growing and harvesting my own food and always wanted to get into canning, but never really knew anyone who did it or that could teach me. After watching you (for years, at this point), I am into all of it. Growing, harvesting, canning, dehydrating, extracting.... I literally want to do it all. Especially now, with inflation and the price of everything being absurd, it would be so reassuring knowing that I could still feed my family for years. Not to mention how beautiful it all looks in the cans. Food really does just look so pretty all in rows of cans like that.

    Hello from New Mexico! When we process green chile, we roast and let them sweat in plastic bags until they're cool enough to handle. This makes them easier to peel, and oftentimes, you can kind of squeeze the skins off and seeds out at the same time.

    • @AdalineZook
      @AdalineZook  ปีที่แล้ว +5

  • @YamiKisara

    Love how light your basement is! Don't really understand why you store the potatoes there, as they have to be stored in the dark to prevent them from sprouting and the sack seems to small for a reasonable weekly portion, while a daily portion seems like a hassle to prepare like that. One more thing: I've noticed your walls are bare concrete. People used to (and some still do) paint the basement walls with lime, because bacteria and molds don't like it. It's also reasonable to smoke it with a sulfur wick once a year to destroy all patogens, although since you make batches for more than a year it might be a hassle to carry everything out.

    Beautiful Share, I love your canned goods shelves. My dream is to have that much in canned goods as well. To help with the canning of the green chilies... When you roast them, Just take the chilies and with tongs put them over flame, like a gas stove top flame or in the bbq pit coals, you are just blackening the chilies skins. Then place them into a bowl and wrap with platic wrap. They will steam in the bowl with the plastic wrap on the bowl, about 5 minutes will do. Then you can just take paper towels and rub the skins off of the chilis with the paper towels or a butter knife scraping them off. Easy peasy. Yes it's an extra step, but well worth it. I keep my chilis in the fridge with olive oil for quick and easy access. I hope it helps. Thank you again for sharing your wonderful pantry!

    Roasted or char chilies on grill, open fire, on hot cast iron griddle, or even in the oven. Then add them into a plastic bag while still very warm..close up the bag and let sit for avout 30 mins to an hour...it will sweat and the skins will easily peel, slide off , can use spoon to lightly scrap down the chilies to help get the skins off.
    Half my family is mexican and this is a regular job in the kitchen.
    Happy canning!

    I love having bone broth & canned soup on my shelves. My husband & son aren’t big soup eaters, but I am. So I can open a pint & just heat it up. Love that. One soup my husband likes is cheeseburger, which I made tonight! So easy bc I used canned burger, bone broth, roasted garlic cheese (I got a block of from an Amish bulk food store) & used evaporated vs cream. I buy that & powdered milk in bulk as well. I cook with those, which saves me a lot bc cream is outrageously priced.

    A good tip I received and it’s served us well for the cooking wine (we don’t drink so it will be wasted if I don’t use it all)
    Get the 4 packs of small wine bottles!
    I keep those in my pantry and one bottle always seems to be the portion the recipe calls for anyways!
    Your so inspiring thanks for the tour ❤

    As soon as you roast your chilis on the grill, throw them in a plastic grocery bag until you are ready to work on them, usually when they cool. The skins just peel off, easier than peeling an egg! That what we do in the Southwest.

    Would you share your tomato soup recipe? When I saw your name, I wondered if you were from PA. Then I scrolled down in your description. Hi neighbor, waving from South Central PA. Mennonite background on my side and my husband’s. Your stocked shelves are beautiful. I love having homemade goodies on the shelf.

    Yes on the freezer taste, I also taste it on butter. Canned berries, yes please, for pies, tarts, waffles, the list goes on. Why would anyone want to pay close to four dollars for canned berries. My son just loves canned apples. I will try to make canned cinnamon ones this year. DYES, oh my, they are linked to so many health and mental health issues it's scary. Love the apothecary jars idea, I have a big tub I have everything stored in, I need to do this so I don't have to do endless searching.

    Another suggestion when you’re buying your pork that’s on sale to make your barbeque pork. You have the pork butt just below that you have what’s known as the picnic pork roast. If you take the picnic pork roast and dry curate. You will have a product very similar to your barbecued, pulled pork, except it will be bacon flavor. Now that’s a great use of pork. Irish people call it a shoulder of bacon. You weigh out your curing salt add it to the picnic roast stick it in the vacuum seal bag put it in the drawer of your fridge once a day turning it over. Do this for about two weeks. Then take the whole shoulder of bacon cook up in a large pot of water. When it is cooked, remove from the water, allow to cool remove fat and expose the delicious meat. If you would like you can add shredded cabbage to the bacon water cook it up and serve bacon, cabbage and potatoes. Very traditional common dish in Ireland.

    This is amazing and I am so jealous. Emune background music music at the beginning? We’re looking to have our basement become our root cellar to store all our canned goods. First step is a garden though 😂. Just moved to our homestead last fall and have been too busy fixing up our 100 year old house first before the gardening fun.

    That is the most beautiful display of home canned goods that I have ever seen in my LIFE! So MUCH hard work and such a wonderful, healthy, variety of food. GREAT JOB! I am, however, suspicious of THOSE shelves holding all the weight that's there NOW without adding more goods. I would CRY if you had even a partial collapse and loss (It'd be like when JFK was shot when I was a kid kind of cry). Y'all have really got it made...I am envious of you being able to have a basement...Water table is too high where I live. God bless you for sharing!

    Tip for peeling chilies, after you roast them put them in a plastic bag, close it and let them cool in it. They are very easy to peel then
