I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your videos on canning. I feel safe following your canning videos. You have some good recipes and I’ve learned some important things about common sense in safely altering some recipes when possible. Please keep posting new videos. Thank You!
Pressure canner newbie here! I admit, I was nervous but watching a this video made me feel comfortable. I made my first batch of sweet potatoes today. They came out wonderful. Thank you for your video!
I love canning sweet potatoes. I always do some this way with the cinnamon to use for my sweet potato pies. I always see people using a ladle for the pouring the water into the jars, I just make a huge mess with it. I find it much easier to use my glass measuring cup to dip and pour into the funnel lol. Thanks for the video.
Oh, thank you so much for explaining and letting us hear the pressure canner starting and stopping rocking. That does help. Love the Carol Twist you put on stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you for this video. I love the brown sugar and cinnamon in these potatoes. Also, thanks for explaining the stopping and starting of the jiggle motion. I have never had that explained and shown how to listen before!👍🏻
You are the best. Thank you so much for showing the pressure gauge and how many times it should rock within a minute. Nobody else has ever shown that. Thank you so much
Carol, I like your videos because you are informative without carrying on forever with needles chatter. I got a bunch of wonderful looking sweet potatoes at my farmers market today and had to look to see if you had a sweet potato canning video as this will be my first time canning them. Great video, so thank you.
New to your channel. I've been canning since I was a teenager. Always learning about canning new foods to have in my pantry for my family. My husband found sweet potatoes at Kroger on Thanksgiving for .19 per pound! I'm not a fan of sweet potatoes but I have been finding different ways to eat them. Now I have to can them because we bought 50 lbs! Thank you for this video.
You are so thoughtful to help everyone look up their elevation to provide information for safe canning. I haven’t canned sweet potatoes before however they are in the All American canner now. I picked up a case of odd sized sweet potatoes from a local farmer store. The house smells wonderful! I am looking forward to sweet potato soufflé and sweet potato pies! Thanks for your instructions and your information on the weighted gauge. Those are the kinds of things that I needed to know when I first started canning. It isn’t stresed enough for newbies most of the time. You are appreciated!!!
I had to give an update as i love sweet potatoes. I finally opened a jar of these and although i am a lover of all things sweet, the light syrup i used was too sweet for my husband and i. I will decrease sugar next time by at least half for our taste. I will definitely make these again.
I also like the candied sweet potatoes, but also with just butter. Thanks for this video as I wanted to can some sweet potatoes. You explain well and easy to follow. Okay then, time to get to work.
Did a half batch of your sweet potato recipe. Silly me picked up 5 pounds of sweet potatoes and did not think about the fact they did not have an orange looking skin. Began to cut them up and realized the insides were white. The label clearly stated sweet potatoes. I looked online and they do have a white sweet potato. I canned up them anyways. But I barely got 5 pints. That is probably a good thing as they may not taste like a sweet potato we are all used to. lol
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231Miss Carol, I grew sweet potatoes at home and they are longer tube like shapes that swirl and twist. They are approximately as big around S English cucumbers. Are they safe to can? How would I chunk them, in thick slices, maybe an inch and a half thick work? I absolutely love the effort and love you put into your channel. Thanks for helping us learn to be good wives and good stewards with what we are blessed to receive. You are an amazing woman.
What was the texture like of the finished product? And is there a reason that you would cook the sweet potatoes rather than just raw pack them, other than helping to get the peel off?
I use an ice bath to cool them down before peeling. Once they are no longer hot to the touch i throw off the water. The skin usually starts separating and easy to take oof.
Hi Carol, the question I have is can you prepare the sweet potato as a pie filling with eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg and then can? Or should you just do it this way?
Love your channel! Thank you for teaching us all such valuable skills! I have a question...I canned my sweet potatoes in the brown sugar syrup..they looked so beautiful! Now that they've set on the shelf for about a month, the syrup is super thick!! Do you think they're still ok? The pressure was correct, and the time too. It sure is thick though...maybe starchy potatoes? I didn't let them cure for the full two weeks...🤔
Hi carol, I was wondering, if I have blanched my sweet potatoes and bring them to room temperature can I raw pack them or should I heat them and then can? Thank you.
I did frozen sweet potatoes and put my syrup then an hour later they had been waiting for the canner to empty. But I looked and the syrup was gone. Would it soak in the sweet potatoes ??
Carol I made these sweet potatoes today! I had a good bit of left over syrup what would you use it for ? 😣 don't want to throw it out!! Help with ideas!
Sheri Parnell I bought at my Meijer last year. Check the kitchen section of your grocery store frequently. You never know what cute stuff you might find 😊
I bet those are delicious, great canning instructions. I just got a heads up that Ball, Bernardin, Kerr and Harvest Guard parent company Newell that they will not be shipping anything until March 2021, due to demand and trying to build up supplies, 6 months, that means no lids, jars, nothing. What ever is out there is it. So people need to be cautious about where they order from, price gouging and false websites. Carol have you ever tried Tattler lids, I might try that next year when hopefully things calm down, I have about 75 small and hardly any large mouth lids so I am going to have to be careful about what I can.
Henry Cooks the shortage is disappointing for sure. I have ordered some Harvest Guard lids, similar to Tattler. I will be doing a video on using them. Just be aware, technically they are not approved by the USDA yet. 🤷♀️
this looks totally delicious and I'm going to can some sweet taters for sure, here is my question, is there any use for that yummy looking syrup after opening the sweet potatoes?
Carol on the all American pressure canner when your time is up and you’re dial drops down to zero and you start to take off your weight and you hear pressure coming out. Do you just leave the weight on for a little more time for all the pressure to get out, or go ahead and take it off?
reta strong that’s a great question and I’ll try to remember to talk about this in my next video. If I still hear pressure coming out when I start to remove the weight I immediately put it back on wait a few minutes and try again. Taking it off will cause siphoning. Very little to no steam should be released when you remove your weight 😊
So what will you do with that delicious syrup when you eat those yummy potatoes? Just pour it over the potatoes? I think my mother used to slice them length wise and bake them in sweet syrup till they got soft and sticky.
Carol would it be okay if I added a little orange juice or orange zest to the syrup??? It would change the ph and I'm not sure if that would compromise safety...newbie here!!!! xoxo Gabrielle
Question please. I followed your video exactly. This morning I heated up a jar to test the flavor before I did any more batches. They yams are way too watery. This is my first time canning yams. So how do I reheat these jars of yams that they are edible? How do you use them after you can them? Can I pressure can yams w/o additional water?
I’m sorry you’ve had problems. These are intended to be used the same as a can of sweet potatoes from the grocery store. I pour the contents of the jar into a casserole dish or sauce pan, add a few pats of butter, heat through in the oven or stove top. I canned my potatoes in syrup. I don’t know why yours would be watery. I’ve never had that issue.
Jennifer Porter we add butter to them and bake until heated through then top with marshmallows and bake until the marshmallows are browned. If you want to mash them, heat, drain then add butter and some of the syrup and mash 😊
@@amybarker2385 mmmmm that sounds amazing. I think i may just do that tonight. My potatoes got super soft after canning, thinking they might just turn into mashed sweet potatoes lol
Would it be OK if I just did half a batch? If the potatoes get mushy I don't want to have 6 quarts because I am afraid no one would eat them. I think I will do them in pints.
Here I am again Carol. So, I am short a canner load. I am cold packing a partial load at 75 min My question is, can I use your sweet potato recipe, allow the cans of potatoes to cool down and add them with my other cold pack cans and I am using pints (65min) but don't care about the xtra 10 min.
I tried this today and I just heated it all up in a Sauce pan. I found it a little watered down. Maybe I need to get used to less sugar or can you tell me what you do.
I'm in Australia, we don't usually "candy" sweet potatoes. I've given it a try but now I don't know how to use them. Do I just steam them, fry or bake them please
Hi! Canned sweet potatoes are very soft so they only need to be gently reheated. To make true candied sweet potatoes, empty jar into a casserole dish, add a few pats of butter, cover and heat in the oven for about 20 minutes, remove cover and add marshmallows, return to oven until marshmallows puff and brown slightly 😋😋. Or you can pour the contents of the jar in a saucepan and just warm them through. They are delicious mashed with a bit of butter and cream (drain liquid before mashing). You can also use them to make sweet potato casserole. If you find you don’t care for them candied, next time just can them in water 😊
My second batch got cloudy overnight. Is that a problem? Everything went as planned and the lids are sealed down properly. Didn't even have any noticeable siphoning like with my first batch.
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 Thank you! It's the first time I've grown my own, and I canned 20 lbs of them over the weekend! First time using the pressure canner. Thanks so much for your guidance!
I have the exact canner with the weight and the gauge. My weight gauge(10 lbs) starts rocking and I check the pressure gauge which shows 10 lbs also but doesn't go above. I have heard the pressure gauge should be at 11 lbs though. What does your pressure gauge show when your 10 lb weight is rocking?
Btw, thanks for this video. Just bought more sweet potatoes and will do this recipe. Also!... I used your pea soup recipe and it was the best I ever had!!!! Thank you soooo much! Been bragging about it. Just remembered, my friend ask for the link so gotta go do that right now.
janathefirst on the AA canner the gauge is just for reference. Our canner functions as a weighted gauge meaning you go by the rocking of the weight. My gauge rocks at 10 psi and stays there just like yours. For those who have a dial gauge only it should read 11. Yours is working properly 😊
Troyetta Fontenette I googled it. Your elevation/altitude is 20ft. Which means your less than 1000ft. You will pressure can at 10PSI. Follow my instructions with no adjustments 😊
Just a FYI there are lots of fake counterfeit jar lids now on Amazon that are coming from China and are super flimsy. Also, Ball has started outsourcing production so who knows what they'll be like or if they will actually be coming from China. Just bought a whole bunch of Tattler lids. I have forty pound of yams waiting for me to can them.
You can also steam the sweet potatoes for 15 min they’re still easy to peel and not softened too much making them still firm to cut up it’s what I do and works like a charm
I have scoured the internet and youtube looking for canning sweet potatoes for diabetics. Every single person on the planet must put sugar in their sweet potatoes when canning because I cannot find anything about canning them without sugar. Maybe you will know the answer: Can you can can sweet potatoes using only water and not syrup? I found one thing online and it said "NO!".
I just wanted to let you know that I appreciate your videos on canning. I feel safe following your canning videos. You have some good recipes and I’ve learned some important things about common sense in safely altering some recipes when possible. Please keep posting new videos. Thank You!
Thank you for that 😊
Pressure canner newbie here! I admit, I was nervous but watching a this video made me feel comfortable. I made my first batch of sweet potatoes today. They came out wonderful. Thank you for your video!
Planning on following your tweak tomorrow and canning my homegrown sweet potatoes. Thank you!!
I love candied sweet potatoes. Thanks for showing us how the weight is supposed to rock.
Awesome instructions.
I love canning sweet potatoes. I always do some this way with
the cinnamon to use for my sweet potato pies. I always see people using a ladle for the pouring the water into the jars, I just make a huge mess with it. I find it much easier to use my glass measuring cup to dip and pour into the funnel lol. Thanks for the video.
OKAY, just when I think I am starting to get my canning caught up....I watch Carol's new video. #carolmademedoit is right 🤗😂
Happy Rapture you all crack me up! 😂💕
Perfect timing! I’m picking up 40 pounds of sweet potatoes tomorrow!

Thank for the siphoning education. I water canned/pickled okra and that's what happened this year. Just about an inch from the top but had good seal.

I’m trying your recipe as I type. This will be my very first time pressure canning anything. I will let you know how I do. 😅Thanks for sharing.
I love your videos. You are such a good teacher!
Thanks again for sharing and giving details on the raddling gauge. My first batch came out good lost 2/9 to Siphoning
Thanks for explaining about the syphoning. I had this happen on some peaches in syrup and I was glad to hear I was ok.
FABULOUS CHANNEL! I am so grateful I came across your channel! Creative flavors. Thank you for your time and knowledge.

You cannot use an IP for canning safely
I'm new here. Love your video. I'm excited to try making these.

Definitely doing this! Thanks for sharing😊.
Hi Carol, the question I have is can you prepare the sweet potato as a pie filling with eggs, milk, cinnamon, vanilla and nutmeg and then can? Or should you just do it this way?
I’m sorry but no. Dairy isn’t safe for canning and the canning process would cook your filling 😊
Hi Carol, I’ve got 3 lbs of sweet potatoes How do I figure how much syrup I need? I still love your videos and I’m learning so much thanks a bunch
Honestly it’s hard to guess. You can always store extra syrup in the fridge for another batch if you have any leftover

Carol, is there any use for the syrup the sweet potatoes are canned in?
In referencing the siphoning, could the sugar that leaks out make a false seal because it’s sticky?
No it won’t. Let your jars sit 12-24 hours then check to make sure your lids don’t flex up and down 😊
loved this thank you
Thank you you are good
These look fantastic. When you serve them do you oven bake them? My husband will love these
Cheryl Mathe yes then top with marshmallows 😁
My Granitware canner needs to rocks consistently.
mine does also
How much water in your canner to put under pressure
I know many can white potatoes without the water. Can you do this with S potatoes? I hope to mash 4 and don't want soggy
You cannot safely can potatoes without water or stock
Carol on the all American pressure canner when your time is up and you’re dial drops down to zero and you start to take off your weight and you hear pressure coming out. Do you just leave the weight on for a little more time for all the pressure to get out, or go ahead and take it off?

Can you substitute the sugar with maple syrup or honey?
Yes
So what will you do with that delicious syrup when you eat those yummy potatoes? Just pour it over the potatoes? I think my mother used to slice them length wise and bake them in sweet syrup till they got soft and sticky.
Kathy Jenkins um yes! Candied Sweet Potatoes. I add butter and bake them until warmed through then top with marshmallows and bake until browned 😋😋
are these able to be substituted for the pumpkin in your pumpkin pie recipe
Sure, just like the pumpkin be sure to drain well 😊
Have you ever had sweet potato pie? Delicious!!
What seasonings would you add to make this a savory sweet potato instead of a sweet one?
Rhonda Henderson thyme, garlic or onion and top with Parmesan cheese
Carol would it be okay if I added a little orange juice or orange zest to the syrup??? It would change the ph and I'm not sure if that would compromise safety...newbie here!!!! xoxo Gabrielle
We’re pressure canning here so the ph is not important. Orange juice is safe for canning and would be delish 😊

I'm still trying to figure out my altitude here in New Iberia Louisiana but having trouble can anyone help me PLEASE.
Troyetta Fontenette I googled it. Your elevation/altitude is 20ft. Which means your less than 1000ft. You will pressure can at 10PSI. Follow my instructions with no adjustments 😊
Why do the potatoes have to be boiled? Won't they cook in the water bath?
This is the approved method for canning them. They must be par cooked prior to canning.
Soak peeled potatoes in water with Citric acid to stop the browning process after peeling. No need to cook them first.
Looks delicious. BJ
What is syfening?
Liquid loss during canning
I did your recipe for sweet potatoes and they were very mushy, what happened?
You either par cooked them too long or cut them too small
Just a FYI there are lots of fake counterfeit jar lids now on Amazon that are coming from China and are super flimsy. Also, Ball has started outsourcing production so who knows what they'll be like or if they will actually be coming from China. Just bought a whole bunch of Tattler lids. I have forty pound of yams waiting for me to can them.
What is the shelf life
At least a year. I keep my home canned goods as long as three years 😊
@@carol-thriftychichousewife6231 thank you
making this now. I think I over cooked my sweet potatoes... guess I'll have mushy ones... whip them or something
KnotsinYarn yes you don’t want to take them too far. Honestly, I think boiling for five minutes is enough. Just heat them and make them easy to peel
KnotsinYarn whipped sweet potato casserole isn’t a bad thing 😁
You can also steam the sweet potatoes for 15 min they’re still easy to peel and not softened too much making them still firm to cut up it’s what I do and works like a charm
I have scoured the internet and youtube looking for canning sweet potatoes for diabetics. Every single person on the planet must put sugar in their sweet potatoes when canning because I cannot find anything about canning them without sugar. Maybe you will know the answer: Can you can can sweet potatoes using only water and not syrup? I found one thing online and it said "NO!".
Yes! You can use water only 😊 nchfp.uga.edu/how/can_04/potato_sweet.html
