      Have you seen those videos of goods that have meat in them that last 1 year, such as bacon or pork belly, beef, and chicken? They are usually done by foreign accounts (non-American and non-Canadian) these items are cooked in small pieces and then placed in a jar once filled they are filled with salt, 9% vinegar, and sometimes spices such as chili or paprika or garlic depending on the dish.

    You see, in my humble opinion, I believe that this version of food managing and production is what was meant to be the standard in a majority of households. I think the world would be better off and people would be happier spending more time doing something as meaningful and purposeful as working hard for food and appreciating the effort required to produce a healthy food supply. The industrial revolution was a crazy thing

    my grandmother was a master canner, and gardener. seems like everyone in my family has almost given up this lost art. I worked as a from scratch cook at an italian restaurant in 2010 and have moved onto curing, making aged cheese, beer, cider, wine, fridge pickles, saurkraut, kimchi etc (barrel aged dark beer) pasta, bread, jams/jellies (wine is effing HARD to make well) and I have a large winter and summer garden (zone 9) and making and freezing several gallons of marinara from our home grown romas every year etc. the last realms I have yet to touch is canning and grinding & aging various cured meats.

    Excellent pantry tour. My wife and I put up more than we can use every year - I guess we are used to having kids around. Just a note to Dan - I learned from my grandma to fill empty jars with clean water (clean used lid and ring) and return them to the back of the row. It solves several problems like storing empty jars, keeping product to the front looking organized and you never know when some emergency water might be needed.

      I put up a lot for a single women living alone. But I have 4 people I plan to feed if and when things get tough. I eat from the beginning of my canning year. I’m into October, 2021. It has saved me so much money living on social security. Food is one thing I don’t have to worry about. I can concentrate on heat and lights. I had to add that I too store water in every empty jar I own.

    You HAVE TO try canning quick breads (banana bread, Boston brown bread, zucchini bread, etc) wide mouth pint jars, greased, filled half way with batter, bake @ 350* till done, wipe rims, lids & rings, wait for the pop. Awesome winter breads ready to eat in the summer. I've tried and test a jar a month, over a year and they taste fresh and moist. MUST use wide mouth pint jars, or the breads don't come out of the jars as nice. Tons of TH-cam videos on it.

    Tip: Store your plastic buckets of food on wood planks supported with small bricks underneath. The chemicals in concrete, sealants, and paints can leech into your buckets over time. I really enjoyed the tour of your beautiful pantry💗 Alot of hardwork went into that for sure!

      I used to can for the year round on a farm in WV. Fortunately, my husband and brother did most of the gardening and harvesting. We had a good root cellar with plenty of shelf space, bins for potatoes and root crops. I made cheese every other day, and baked bread every week. It got challenging during canning season keeping the bread and cheese production going. So I sympathize with you for abandoning that task. There were quite a few late night marathon canning sessions going through to the fall. It helps to have a few extra hands! You are both to be congratulated for the work that feeds your family! Nice tour!!!

    Getting dry food off a concrete floor is absolutely critical if you are going to want it to last long term. Concrete holds lots of moisture and anything placed directly onto concrete will always get damp. Those platforms you built from reclaimed timber are going to save you a lot of headaches regardless of flooding.

    Hi, I`m 88 yrs. old, canned a lot when my children were all at home. But it never gets out of your blood. You have done a unbelievable job of growing, preserving, in such beautiful order. Feel sorry that I can`t do exactly like you. BUT in my journey through so many DIY`s I have learned a ton of information, and enjoy what we do now. For the first time I dry canned half gallon jars of garbanzo beans, red lentils, jasmine and basmati rice. Have also dry canned four different kinds of pasta, so really proud of those. I live with my daughter and son-in-law, so we share in all of this. And was given a gift of a dyhydrater so have done oregano, lemon thyme, english thyme, sage, parsley, mandarin orange slices, dried mandarin orange skins, tomatoes, and apples. I do have backup food, several kinds of beans, canned tomatoes, meats, oils, dried garlic, dried onions, and a lot more. I am fully convinced that even aside from having a full stock of food for your family, there is coming a time when food is going to be even more sparse than it is now.

I also respect your knowledge that you know you aren’t the best cheese maker or the best tincture maker and I think that’s very smart to realize it and to accept it and to know that there is another way of dealing with it. Simply order tinctures from a reputable maker. Besides maybe Dan will be able to try his hand at cheesemaking and perhaps he will be able to show you how to do it?! Why not?! Do you make your own apple cider vinegar?🥰🇨🇦❤️

    I have made about 1 kilo of wild Fireweed this year in Russia. It's rather popular here and many companies produce Fireweed tea. Also, there are people, especially in the country, who love making Fireweed tea themselves. Rubbing leaves with your hands is a physically hard and long process because you need to break up leaf cells so that they become wet for further fermentation. I use a different method: put the leaves in small plastic bags and then in a freezer for at least 24 hours (can be longer so you can continue the process when you have time, days or weeks later). Freezing allows leaf cells to break up. After that you can either roll the leaves with your hands as usual or, the easier way, to grind them through a meat grinder, and you will have granulated tea in the end. Then you ferment the mass and dry it either in the sun or in a stove. Some people love to fry fermented leaves, the tea comes black.

    What to do with the chicken: Chicken Slurp Gravy - chop to size you like or shred; make like a thickish cream of chicken soup; goes well on: fried potatoes; mashed potatoes; baked potatoes; biscuits; just about anything you usually put a good thick gravy on. We get ours from an old recipe my husband's mother used to make for chicken & dumplings. Great pantry!

    The stringy chicken legs would be good in pulled chicken (sorta like pulled pork) using a zingy bbq sauce on homemade buns. Yum. That’s my suggestion to use up those hidden jars. 😂

    I've canned a lot of salmon in quart jars, and in those, the canning time does pretty much dissolve the bones. It looks like you are canning in pint jars, which is probably why your bones aren't dissolving as much as you'd like. Although, they never just disappear entirely. They do get soft enough that they shouldn't be a choking hazard, which is my biggest concern with fish bones.

    Yours is the most extensive pantry, cold pantry and root celler I've personally visualized. I learned basic canning from my mother and grandmothers who canned a lot, but not in the amounts that you've done! Very informative and impressive tour of being prepared for long-term nutritional needs! This is the first time I've seen your channel. Thank you for sharing your life with us! 👏👏👏👍

    Chelsea, I think you set the standard for Canning Pantry Tours on TH-cam! Three Rivers Homestead, Homesteading Family, and That 1870s Homestead are right up there with you, but with 11 kids, in freezing Canada, you really take the cake!
    My suggestion about canning chicken: cut up whole chickens, freeze the parts, use the carcasses for stock and soup. Canned thighs are a waste of my favorite part, frozen is better. I like using canned drumsticks in a Basque chicken stew whenever I can get good Spanish chorizo, which isn't often, so I usually just pull it off the bones and use it for soup or mushroomy casseroles. Frozen chicken breasts are useful in so many recipes so I like getting them at the whole chicken price for the effort of cutting them up (I spent one day cutting up a dozen chickens and after that I got very fast, same thing with duck!)

    For your canned chicken, my suggestion would be the following:
    1. Grind them up, add a couple of eggs, and a little bread binder and make a basic sausage. Then make nuggets size pieces. Bread each bit of chicken as nuggets and then fry.
    2. If you have ever been to a fast food joint that makes chicken sandwiches, it's just a large chicken sausage
    3. For Asian food, grill the chicken meat, and add a soy-based sweet sauce over rice.
    4. Thinly cut the chicken and then dehydrate it for jerky
    5. Canned chicken pot pies
    6. Mince the chicken to then make Asian dumplings (add garlic, ginger, and green onion and if you have gelatinized fat, then you can make soup dumplings, and don't forger a little MSG.) if not, make pot stickers
    Just a few thoughts. If you want any recipes, I can create various recipes based on your pantry and or authenticity.

    Wonderful progress & great tour with comments of what your family likes! Thanks for sharing! We have a short growing season in Central/west Alberta also. My daughter & her partner bought an acreage with greenhouses & I was gifted many hundreds of tomatoes to can this year! I’m in my 7th decade so it took me several days to do them (first time making canning salsas & spaghetti sauce), so anyone can learn!
    Many blessings to your wonderful family! Great organization of your foods! 🤗❤️

    Hi Chelsea - absolutely love your pantry and root cellar. I’m in zone 3a in MB and we had many difficulties this year due to major flooding in the area which also caused a lack of bees for pollinators - we did manage to grow some veg, but it was about 1/3 of our normal production. So thankful that the previous 2 years had been super bountiful so our family will do just fine this winter as most of the veg had been canned or frozen. Dan did a wonderful job building the shelving and organizing the canning. I love watching your canning and cooking videos - you have some wonderful ideas.

    I canned chicken legs and breasts together in quart jars and it’s also not very
    pretty:) But it is delicious in chicken enchiladas! I would suggest using 1 can of your legs/thighs with 1 can of your chicken breast. Should be delicious and help mask some of the texture you don’t like.
