I just recently tried canning 2 quart and 1 pint jar of chicken thighs done by water bath. I've aways looked at it as, if they did it years ago why can't I don't the same now lol! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time haha. I boiled them for 3.5 hours.
My mother never owned a pressure canner. We canned everything in water bath canner or if it was a large canning we filled an iron wash pot with up to 20 qts. We used old towels to cushion the jars to prevent breakage. We hardly ever had a jar not seal or the food to spoil. We also reusable lids with good success. We canned peas, butterbeans, green beans, squash, potatoes,tomatoes, peanuts, everything. So glad you are teaching a new generation to preserve their foods.
I did some green beans water bathed and the jars sealed and everything but the beans went bad within 2 months. What could have gone wrong? Thanks for your help!
Love that you teaching water bath canning. I don't own a pressure canner and can't afford one. Now you have opened up a whole new world of food preservation for me. I can't thank you enough and hope to see more.
My grandmother canned for yrs w/o & never had a pressure canner. She canned everything, but I never got to ask her how she did it. Since then, there have been changes & discoveries in canning methods & diseases. You have to weigh the pros & cons of each method & what you have access to use. Did we ever get sick from her canned stuff? Not that I know of. Was it good? You bet! Do I trust everything the gov tells me? Nope, never, often i believe the opposite! (USDA is gov) That said, I did go & get a $150 pressure canner this summer & I've been canning everything! I have pressure canned most stuff, but I still hot water bath jellies, preserves, & most pickles. Rural people traditionally handed down their procedures generation to generation. Unfortunately, the generation before me got hung up in the rat race requiring both parents to work w/little to no time for gardening & putting up food like their parents.
Here in Germany we do it like this. I soak the dried beans in plenty of water overnight. This is then thrown away and the beans are boiled in fresh water for 10-15 minutes. Then they are drained again and filled into Weck jars up to 1" below the rim. Closed with lid, rubber ring and 2 clips and boiled in a water bath for 90 minutes. Take out, let cool and remove the clips. Then they can be kept for at least 1 year. I do it this way with white beans and kidney beans.The liquid in the jars is very clear with this method (the one with the kidney beans is slightly reddish) and not as milky and cloudy as the one in your beans. No salt to the beans. It make them hard.
Thanks for sharing this. What's the amount of beans you put in each jar before adding the water to 1" below the rim? I'd like to try your method some time. Thank you!
I was going to ask the same question as Rose H.! What is the amount of beans you add to the jar before you add the water? How many grams of beans and how big is the jar you use?
This is very good info! Have looked on TH-cam but is very hard to find info on canning from Europe and other countries, but I know y'all do it differently then we do here in the states and I am realy interested in different methods. My granny water bathed everything but I was too young to remember her exact methods! Love that finally seeing other methods. I'm kinda a rebel and always want to go against what I'm told I have to do something!! LoL 😂
❤❤❤🎉ABSOLUTELY waterbathed everythang, I helped my mom and grandma (baba ), and we had 2 wood stoves, one in the house, the other in the woodshed, 2 huge metal tubs and away we went, meats, veg, fruit, pickles, jams, jellies, sauerkraut, everythang, no one every got sick, everything was eaten, yummiest!❤❤
When I dehydrate onions I blanch them. I see no need to throw out the blanching liquid so I use it to can my beans. OMG, you have no idea how much flavour the onion water adds to the beans. Wonderful for soups, stews, whatever, and we usually have sausage (home made) and beans once a week, and these make a wonderful addition. If you don't dehydrate, just add a tsp of diced onion to your bean jars.
I am so stupid!! I have been prepping for years and have enough dried beans and bags of rice to feed my whole neighborhood for a week. It dawned on me today that I will have no way to cook the beans and pots of rice. Thank God I found you today. I have a gas grill but would not know how to cook the beans and rice separately. So now I am trying the water bath method and see how it works for me.
I googled ATLAS. I love these jars, too! I buy Classico Pasta Sauce that comes in them. I read they're not appropriate for canning, but I've canned with mine using ball lids.
Hello!🤗 I'm starting my canning journey in my late 40s with no knowledge of what I'm doing. Ive lived in cities in urban areas my whole life and food preservation wasnt something we learned or ever even thought about...most times we struggled just to keep food on the table at all much less have any to save. So this is a new skill I'm learning for the first time and there is so much to know that it can be intimidating... watching your videos has made it feel simple and attainable...so thank you for sharing. I've canned potatoes, carrots, beans and recently started clearing freezer space and canned some ground beef and turkey. I feel really good to be able to care for my family in this way. I thank God my children will not have to know hunger or food insecurity like I did as a kid. I look forward to your videos and learning more from you. Thank you for what you are doing.💜👍🏿
A couple weeks ago I tried to find a water bath canning recipe for dried beans but there was nothing. So, I did it exactly the way you just did it, except I did add a bouillon cube and they turned out wonderful. I have a brand new presto pressure canner, but have never used it. Everything including meat is water bathed. There is something about carrying on the tradition of my grandmothers that make me smile after a day of canning. Thank you for doing the water bath canning videos, they're not just informative and helpful, but they help keep a way of life alive.
Years ago before we could afford a pressure cooker Momma canned green beans outside over a wood fire. I can remember she cooked them for 4 hrs. She would use 2-3 galvanized washtubs. We always processed 4-5 bushels at a time. We are a make do family too. I don’t remember any ever spoiling. Thank you for being brave and stepping up to teach. Awesome
@@kentherlan7465 my granny was the daughter of Irish people who would go on to rock up on USA. Everything was water bathed, meat / veggies / peas and beans . She survived a whole famine ❤
Well. I DID IT. FOR THE FIRST TIME! Out of a 16 oz bag of Navy beans, l WB’ed seven pints! They turned out great, & they look beautiful. I’m so glad l saw this, for it gave me the motivation to do it today (Sunday). I feel useful, in doing something for preparedness. TY MakeItMake!❤
I've been waiting for this video! I don't have a pressure canner and knew if the Amish cans everything you would eventually get to it. To HIM WHO sits on the throne and unto the LAMB!
Actually usda is only for canada and america. I water bath everything but meats. Havent done that yet. But if the amish and all my past relatives have done it. I will do it. Working on fresh pintos now.
Your channel is what gave me the courage to move forward and start canning! I love this channel, I love that you teach the old methods, I think more like you so plz continue to teach the old methods as much as you can! I appreciate all your doing to help us to learn! I'm sorry others felt it was ok to attack and be ugly, don't pay them any attention, many of us appreciate your efforts! I wish I had a connection to spend the time with an Amish lady, I would love to learn all they would be willing to teach! The world has mocked the Amish for as long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated with their drive, their ways of learning to live without, and their integrity! The world may soon learn the Amish had it going on all along and we were the no so smart ones. Thank you again! Have a very Blessed week!
The Atlas jars are used for Classico pasta sauces. I save all of mine, as well, so that I have backup jars because we never know if we’ll be seeing shortages again one day. 😉
I’m 54 yrs old. I’ve always been somewhat thrifty but always thought canning was for people with a garden such as my sister who cans from her garden. My main reason for being here is because I’ve recently become worried about power grid failure and started thinking about being prepared just in case. I had no idea this will save me time and money as well 🤦♀️the thought of canning potatoes ahead and being able to save them before they rot is so satisfying!! Glad I found your videos! Ty ❤
I love your channel! I stumbled across your water bath meats video. Everything I had seen said don't do it but I knew our ancestors canned meats and those ladies didn't have pressure canners. Then I came across this one. I have never found one, no disrespect to anyone else, that seems so suited to my needs. I especially love the this works for me do what works for you attitude. I am definitely a huge fan.
I reuse whatever.. I save all jars and lids...just check tge rubber. Do whatever you want. Be a rebel I ante killed or made anyone sick yet. Be smart. Your doing a great job. Keep it up girl. You got this . God bless you and yours.
Hello, Thank-you so much for your sharing, I just did 8 jars of kidney beans; they turned out just beautiful and tomorrow will be doing pinto beans. God Bless you and thanks again.
I’ve only ever canned sweet things (pie filling, fruits, berries, jellies) but you’ve got me wanting to can chicken, beans and everything in between! I remember seeing your video for the chicken (before the drama) and I told my husband “I’ve only just found her channel but I really trust this woman and her experience!” Continue to let His light shine through you, you’re helping so many to be self sufficient and less wasteful.
Thanks for helping people understand..if people would educate themselves that people ALL OVER THE WORLD water-bath(with knowledge is the key)with that knowledge people have done this for centuries
I love that you are teaching this method of canning and I like how you are now calling it 'original canning' instead of 'rebel' bc that's more true to what it is in my opinion also. I watched my mom pressure can many things growing up (and it kinda intimidates me today) but I also watched my grandmother use nothing but a water bath for everything she canned, so this is almost a relief to learn. I've known how to waterbath for years. I was actually taught over a woodburning stove and was even taught how to wax seal it- a local, pre-1880's farm (part of our local park system) taught me. Thank you for taking the time to share the knowledge you were given.
I have been using jars from the 1910 through the present day. Even pickle jars and their lids. I am close to being 80 yo. My pressure canner is a gift from my husband aunt and weighs a ton but is very heavy. I canned pasta sauce, onions and bacon for my beans. My husband keeps saying there is very little space in our freezers. I am glad to see you can dried beans by water bath . I also watch Homestad Heart. Joyful heart always makes you smile. Those two have huge joyful heart s. From Texas USA
When I canned beans several weeks ago, I rinsed my beans in Cold water and the skin all wrinkled, too. So, I did a little Qwik test and opened another bag of beans, but this time I rinsed them in hot water and the skin stayed in tact. But it was a test ...
I do wash all my beans before canning, but in doing so the beans do swell. I have done tests on 1/2 cup dried, rinsed and then re-measured. Depends on the bean, but 1/2 cup rinsed will end up being less beans in the can, so if 1/2 cup comes out as 2/3 after rinsing, I use 2/3 cup in the jar.
Reusing jar lids is something I 100% do! I'm in the UK, and canning jars aren't a big thing here, so finding lids and rings ...well, I never have. I just reuse jars and their lids. I don't do a ton of food preservation, but I know from my mom and her mom, who learned from my great grandmother, that the key is to check your lids for and dents, rust, or missing/damaged seal and simply check the jar has properly sealed afterwards (which you'll do anyways)! If it hasn't, that lid can go into the recycling and you can use that jar for dinner this week. If it seals, what's the issue? Why only use a lid once when they can be used several times before failing (ftr, I've never had a seal fail, probably because I do check them before use).
The jars you put the pickle lids on will take a standard lid, I have done a lot of canning with them. They are the Classico spaghetti sauce jars. Try it and see, if they don’t maybe they aren’t Classico sauce jars. ❤
Thought my virtigo was kicking in , then realized it was on your end. Lol I am going to try them in the water-bath. Have done them in my pressure canner already. But I need a new rubber gasket for mine.
Just found your channel I can canning since I was a child and I'm in my fifties now I love how you specify your kitchen your rules thank you for your time God bless
Hazel Atlas was a glass company located in Wheeling West Virginia and Washington Pennsylvania that was founded in the late 1800’s. They made lots of different types of glass including “Depression Glass” glass dinnerware pieces as well as the “Atlas” canning jar. The company was bought out by another company in the 1960’s and the Hazel Atlas name was no longer used.
I canned pinto's and navy beans for the first time. I let them soak overnight like I always do. I rinse the beans and put 1/2 cup per pint, bacon and salt. So yummy
Wow!!! I pitched my navy beans that I PC because they were mush!! I'm SOLD!!!! I'm glad you are going forward with your videos. THANK YOU❤️ also I haven't put chicken broth in dry beans but I did in green beans. Oh my word!!! DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
A #5 wash tub is what my grandmother used over an open fire to can everything she raised in her garden. I forget how many quarts would fit but it was a lot.
Is this your beautiful voice?! How lovely! The pantry, and the praise! Loving catching up on the videos in your channel, as I have just found you! God bless you, so thankful to have found this (His) channel! ❤ Thank you, sister!
You have helped me create food stability for my family and I have learned how to can meat, beans, veggies, soups, and many other things from you and I really appreciate you taking your time to teach people how to do this because it is a skill that I am now teaching my children.
I prefer to cook the beans with other items, the favorite here is "beaby weanies". Kidney beans with chopped beef franks, a tablespoon of brown sugar and tomato sauce. Because of the combo of items in it, I have pressure canned on the rocket stove. BUT, now I might try on the pit with water bath. A couple of things to note. Goya is a brand produced by Kelley Bean Co. that is a family run cooperative of growers and their beans are non gmo. They also produce for the Dollar Tree labled Brown's Best and Dollar General as Smart and Simple. Again, all strictly non gmo. Our tomato sauce is from our own tomatoes, an heirloom variety called Rutgers Tomato. Big enough to use as sandwich slicers yet not very seedy, very meaty, and make great fresh or canned sauce. And MIGardner has a who seed saver bit on tomato seeds as these are heirloom and will reproduce and once acclimated to your area and soil will just get better each season of repeat saved seeds.
For the last several years I have reused store jars. I have had great luck with them. I am on my 2nd season with some and they still sealed great. I will be trying this as soon as get more beans. Thanks for this video.
I think some of the store purchased pasta sauces have jars that are compatible with ball lids/rings. I use them for non-pressure canning items. Thanks for sharing this method. I think it's good to know this in the even I have to can over a wood fire, too. Better to know and not have to need it, than not know and need it.
I use them for pressure canning. The only issue I’ve had is the lids can be difficult to remove or even get the edge of a spoon or anything under to break the seal when ready to use.
I use those tops when I can my beets always sealed my mom did that. Thanks for letting us know we can can like my mom did. Love from Virginia ❤️ ps. That 1870 Homestead lady is awesome
ATLAS JARS ARE 3 CUPS INSTEAD OF 2 CUPS. I get mine from buying Classico pasta sauces. It's almost like getting the jars for free. I love the size because quarts are too big for just two people but pints a little scant sometimes. I love the idea of being able to water bath dried beans. Thank you for researching it and sharing with us.
I reuse the jars and lids from BonMaman jam. My husband loves their marmalade and I don’t make it . I have never had a failure and have reused the jar twice so far.
Holy smoke I thought I was the only one that reuses those lids!!!! I figured that out when I was doing freezer jam at one time. They reseal once they're in the hot water. I do not keep the ones that are rusty but anything that looks great still I reuse. And besides those are the only ones that fit those taller Atlas jars!!! 💕💕💕
I’d love know how the water bathed beans tasted. To buy beans in cans is getting expensive and other things in them beside the beans. This is so cool! I have a lot of respect for someone who admits they don’t know something rather than winging it. You’ve got my vote!
Greetings from Oklahoma Granny! Love your posts most of all, plain talk is appreciated because I am a newly to this out of necessity!!!! I have jumped in big time, $$$$$$ working as hard as possible to get it done! Now questioning myself if my lids actually really sealed !!! I never heard any pops or anything as I expected! Please helps 😮😮 heard nothing from any ones videos about this …. Then I stared obsessing over the time!!!!! Did I do it long enough!!!!! Too long… thanks for talking about that sea level theory by the nice lady that obviously doesn’t like the “0ld “ Amish methods , and obviously has a PHD in math and sea level theories regarding waterbath canning!!!! Any reassurance for me ?
I have about dozen of those atlas jars that i saved from buying Classico pasta sauce ,and regular mouth lids and bands fit perfectly.I used them for water bath canning. love your videos, I am planing to do some garbanzo beans soon,we love humus and every time i go to buy some caned garbanzo beans price is up.
I have always saved any Classico pasta sauce and pizza sauce jars. I have not canned anything, but some blackberry/peach and blueberry jam this year. Still new at this at my senior age. LOL
It's like the old saying. You can feed a man a day or teach him to fish. I would rather learn how to fish. Self-reliance it sets you free!! Learning how to grow and become sustainable on your own!! Completely enjoy learning and watching things grow then take it another step and be able to store it for those long winter nights! Especially those jams and jellies with a bowl of hot vegetable soup that you produced from your garden. There's nothing else like it even when you get it from the store! I really hate the way most vegetables and fruits taste out of the grocery store. But when getting it from your garden or anybody's garden and you know it's been grown without chemicals and pesticides. It's just so much better for you!
I use chicken broth or water with Better Than Bouillon when I can any of my vegetables. I love the flavor that it gives.I Love 1870’s Homestead. I thought it was so cool when Rachel gave you the shout out. She does reuse store bought jar and lids for canning, with success.
I love the information you give. I had been trying to save money to buy a pressure canner I'm so glad I found your channel because now I believe you can water bath almost anything.
I just yesterday canned 8 jars of sour kraut using reused store bought jars (pickles, peppers, pasta etc) and everyone sealed perfectly except 1. Realy happy I found this little trick, helps save some money!
I reuse my lid flats if the rubber seal is in good shape and I also reuse jars and lids from the grocery store. They've worked well for me. Could you let us know how these beans did? I've done pressure canned dry beans and found them to be a little to firm for my taste.
This was a surprising way to can for me. We have a wood stove running all winter. I have always pressure canned veggies and meat. If I can get a rolling boil going on the wood stove......Awesome!
I am brand new to canning. I've only "canned" jelly one time. I put quotations because it technically wasn't even canned. My pot wasn't big enough and lots of other reasons. I just recently got a water bath canner and am working on stocking up on some jars, lids ect. I didn't know there was so many rules to canning. Seeing the ways some people have done it for so many years and the USDA way is very interesting. I like that you put the disclaimer too, because I'm new to canning and am trying to learn as much as possible. Sorry you got so much hate before. I think your videos are great.
Funny how it is called ''hate'' when you try to help people learn the safe way to do things. Do people new at canning really want to harm their children. Sometimes I wonder.... Isn't the safest way the best way when it concerns our children and elderly?
@@vivvoveo384 exactly, but that's why I ask, Why do you use the TH-cam, multimedia internet ect, because it has been shown harmful emissions from these can cause cancer & to date its much less tested, especially overtime than canning, & you don't need it to eat/live? You should live in fear for yourself and/or children more because cancers are on the increase, and you have more chance of dying of them than botulism. Although in a consideration if you're alive you have 100% chance of dying one day from something, for sure .
@@vivvoveo384 like the experimental shot that people gave their children? Why are you spamming this channel? Mind your own business. Most of us are adults and we don’t need fear mongers like you, you must work for the fda, how does it feel to help destroy society? That’s what you are helping accomplish.
I’m so thankful you are doing these videos. I am an experienced canner. And love learning “ new,,,, old “ ways. ♥️ May the Lord bless you! And I would choose wisdom and discernment over any higher education degree any day!!! And it seems to me you are beautiful on the inside as well as out!!! Thank you again. And please keep sharing . I also reuse lids from my store bought items. So far with great success.
The atlas jars that you have can be bought in the grocery store filled with classico spaghetti sauce. I use them all the time. Love your videos. Have always pressure canned but will be water bathing most things now
i use dry beans directly into pressure canned soups and it works great. add dried beans and cut veggies (carrot, onion, celery, spices) and stock and PC. Very fine video...keep up the good work
The water bath beans look like they may be cooked more than the pressure canned. And yes I like knowing more information for just in case I need to know.
I currently do not can tomato. I have been buying the Classic brand sauce. They use Atlas Mason jars. I save everyone I purchase. Buying the sauce at the moment offsets the price of new jars. Might sound crazy, but, we go through about 5 jars a week. Those almost free jars add up quick.
Hi there , Always a pleasure to visit. I love those jars too , I get them as a donation from my sister in law , the jars are from a spaghetti sauce they sell in grocery stores , I believe it is Classico Pasta sauce.. the jars fit the traditional canning lids also. Thank you for the bean lesson....
There's a brand of pasta sauce that is in those Atlas canning jars. Regular size mouth lids and rings fit them.. however, I've found that some recently purchased jars the lids and rings don't seem to fit any longer. Now that said I do know that some fellow "reuse the lids" canners will use a food grade/100% silicone to refresh that ring inside the jar lid.
The Atlas jars are what is Classico cream sauces... and have so many and will be using for pickling mostly because of the top being to small to use with any funnel other than liquid...asparagus and beets and dills do well in them unless canning coffee or lemon tea...
Thank you for continuing the water bath method. So many of us out here are interested! I have a question. Can you can vegetable beef soup in a water bath if the meat has already been cooked? I would love to can my leftover vegetable beef soup and not have it turn to mush. Just wondering. Thanks and keep it up. More are for you than against you.
I just water bathed beef stew, and it turned out wonderful, I made the stew, and processed for 3 hours. Same for chicken soup but I added the noodles/rice right before putting in jars, and it looks great, I haven't tasted it yet.
Oh boy , oh boy .... guess who will be water bathing some beans this weekend?? Me !! Thank you for what you do ... And guess what , remember the recipe on the water bath potatoes? They are delicious.. Once again . Thank you ! God bless.
A few days ago I canned mango jam (open kettle) and reused a couple of olive jars and their lids because I ran out of the 10 oz canning jars I like to use for jam. They're still sealed nicely.
I'm so excited, I think I'm going to try this today! I spend so much money on canned beans, and I feel guilty when I know I can home make them cheaper and better, but the convenience factor keeps me coming back to them. But if just water bathed a bunch of jars, that would be so much better! Thank you!
The atlas jars you probably got classico spaghetti sauce in them and they're probably 20 oz jars. I have a few old atlas quarts I got from my husband's grandmother. They still put the spaghetti sauce in them. I been buying the ragu small glass jars and reusing for tomato sauce using the lids that came with them and also for storing dry herbs.
I have the atlas jars as well. I don’t know much about them other than they’re pretty like you said. I was given a bunch of vintage jars and I love them all.
Your channel is new to me and I really enjoy you and your information even though I e been canning for years. I’m glad you kept the blooper lol, it’s all things that can happen. Cheers from Canada !
When I do bean I do quarts that I add ham chunks and diced carrots to. I get the Goya Ham bullion and add 1 tsp of it to the quarts. I have not tried water bath, but I do pressure can for 90 minutes. I also soak my beans for the amount of time it takes me to chop the ham and carrots and sometimes onions in hot water before adding 1 full cup of beans to the jars.
Same here!!! I collect interesting looking jars and I even have once of those square atlas jars!!!! It was from some fancy store bought Alfredo sauce that I picked up! I use it for everything! Lol
Looks SO easy. Makes me tired just LOOKING at a pressure cooker. It's water bathing for me 100%.
I just recently tried canning 2 quart and 1 pint jar of chicken thighs done by water bath. I've aways looked at it as, if they did it years ago why can't I don't the same now lol! I'm excited and nervous all at the same time haha. I boiled them for 3.5 hours.
My mother never owned a pressure canner. We canned everything in water bath canner or if it was a large canning we filled an iron wash pot with up to 20 qts. We used old towels to cushion the jars to prevent breakage. We hardly ever had a jar not seal or the food to spoil. We also reusable lids with good success. We canned peas, butterbeans, green beans, squash, potatoes,tomatoes, peanuts, everything. So glad you are teaching a new generation to preserve their foods.
How did you do your squash? Thank you in advance.
I did some green beans water bathed and the jars sealed and everything but the beans went bad within 2 months. What could have gone wrong? Thanks for your help!
I WATER BATH MY POTATOES WITH VINEGAR LIKE YOU DO FOR 1 HOUR AND THEY TURN OUT BEAUTIFUL.
Love that you teaching water bath canning. I don't own a pressure canner and can't afford one. Now you have opened up a whole new world of food preservation for me. I can't thank you enough and hope to see more.
I'm in the same boat! lol. I feel the same way.
Same here that's why I kept checking recipes or how to do water bath canning instead of using pressure canner.
My grandmother canned for yrs w/o & never had a pressure canner. She canned everything, but I never got to ask her how she did it. Since then, there have been changes & discoveries in canning methods & diseases. You have to weigh the pros & cons of each method & what you have access to use. Did we ever get sick from her canned stuff? Not that I know of. Was it good? You bet! Do I trust everything the gov tells me? Nope, never, often i believe the opposite! (USDA is gov)
That said, I did go & get a $150 pressure canner this summer & I've been canning everything! I have pressure canned most stuff, but I still hot water bath jellies, preserves, & most pickles. Rural people traditionally handed down their procedures generation to generation. Unfortunately, the generation before me got hung up in the rat race requiring both parents to work w/little to no time for gardening & putting up food like their parents.
I'm in the same situation and love this series so much. I have been really enjoying learning about food preservation.
Here in Germany we do it like this. I soak the dried beans in plenty of water overnight. This is then thrown away and the beans are boiled in fresh water for 10-15 minutes. Then they are drained again and filled into Weck jars up to 1" below the rim. Closed with lid, rubber ring and 2 clips and boiled in a water bath for 90 minutes. Take out, let cool and remove the clips. Then they can be kept for at least 1 year. I do it this way with white beans and kidney beans.The liquid in the jars is very clear with this method (the one with the kidney beans is slightly reddish) and not as milky and cloudy as the one in your beans. No salt to the beans. It make them hard.
Thanks for sharing this. What's the amount of beans you put in each jar before adding the water to 1" below the rim? I'd like to try your method some time. Thank you!
I was going to ask the same question as Rose H.! What is the amount of beans you add to the jar before you add the water? How many grams of beans and how big is the jar you use?
@@roseh3085 Since the beans are already swollen, the beans come almost 1" below the edge. They don't expand any more.
This is fantastic! Thank you for sharing your Non-FDA approved method!

I've canned potatoes, carrots, beans and recently started clearing freezer space and canned some ground beef and turkey. I feel really good to be able to care for my family in this way. I thank God my children will not have to know hunger or food insecurity like I did as a kid. I look forward to your videos and learning more from you. Thank you for what you are doing.💜👍🏿
You spoke the whole deal!
If the lights go out there will never be pressure canning or freeze drying or even dehydrators . Let’s keep it real x
I’m gonna guess like myself everyone would love a Wb video on everything
A couple weeks ago I tried to find a water bath canning recipe for dried beans but there was nothing. So, I did it exactly the way you just did it, except I did add a bouillon cube and they turned out wonderful. I have a brand new presto pressure canner, but have never used it. Everything including meat is water bathed. There is something about carrying on the tradition of my grandmothers that make me smile after a day of canning. Thank you for doing the water bath canning videos, they're not just informative and helpful, but they help keep a way of life alive.
Years ago before we could afford a pressure cooker Momma canned green beans outside over a wood fire. I can remember she cooked them for 4 hrs. She would use 2-3 galvanized washtubs. We always processed 4-5 bushels at a time. We are a make do family too. I don’t remember any ever spoiling. Thank you for being brave and stepping up to teach. Awesome
My mamaw Jackson use to do the same. I grow up in the mountains of KY.
@@kentherlan7465 my granny was the daughter of Irish people who would go on to rock up on USA. Everything was water bathed, meat / veggies / peas and beans . She survived a whole famine ❤
Here in europe is common to use store bought jars (that had food in it previously).
Isn’t it nice? My friends know I save them to can in so I have an almost unlimited source of jars this way 🎉 🇪🇪
Thanks for sharing
Many of us do as well, why waste a good jar and lids...
Well. I DID IT. FOR THE FIRST TIME! Out of a 16 oz bag of Navy beans, l WB’ed seven pints! They turned out great, & they look beautiful. I’m so glad l saw this, for it gave me the motivation to do it today (Sunday). I feel useful, in doing something for preparedness. TY MakeItMake!❤
I've been waiting for this video! I don't have a pressure canner and knew if the Amish cans everything you would eventually get to it. To HIM WHO sits on the throne and unto the LAMB!
Atlas, Mason and Ball were competitors. I want to say that Atlas was bought out by one of the first two. I have not seen Atlas jars for years!
Actually usda is only for canada and america. I water bath everything but meats. Havent done that yet. But if the amish and all my past relatives have done it. I will do it. Working on fresh pintos now.
Atlas: is a store spaghettini sauce jar. I love them too! Some of the older Atlas will take a regular lid and ring.
Your channel is what gave me the courage to move forward and start canning! I love this channel, I love that you teach the old methods, I think more like you so plz continue to teach the old methods as much as you can! I appreciate all your doing to help us to learn! I'm sorry others felt it was ok to attack and be ugly, don't pay them any attention, many of us appreciate your efforts! I wish I had a connection to spend the time with an Amish lady, I would love to learn all they would be willing to teach! The world has mocked the Amish for as long as I can remember, I have always been fascinated with their drive, their ways of learning to live without, and their integrity! The world may soon learn the Amish had it going on all along and we were the no so smart ones. Thank you again! Have a very Blessed week!
The Atlas jars are used for Classico pasta sauces. I save all of mine, as well, so that I have backup jars because we never know if we’ll be seeing shortages again one day. 😉
I save mine too!
I’m 54 yrs old. I’ve always been somewhat thrifty but always thought canning was for people with a garden such as my sister who cans from her garden. My main reason for being here is because I’ve recently become worried about power grid failure and started thinking about being prepared just in case. I had no idea this will save me time and money as well 🤦♀️the thought of canning potatoes ahead and being able to save them before they rot is so satisfying!! Glad I found your videos! Ty ❤
I love your channel! I stumbled across your water bath meats video. Everything I had seen said don't do it but I knew our ancestors canned meats and those ladies didn't have pressure canners. Then I came across this one. I have never found one, no disrespect to anyone else, that seems so suited to my needs. I especially love the this works for me do what works for you attitude. I am definitely a huge fan.
I reuse whatever.. I save all jars and lids...just check tge rubber. Do whatever you want. Be a rebel I ante killed or made anyone sick yet. Be smart. Your doing a great job. Keep it up girl. You got this . God bless you and yours.
Hello, Thank-you so much for your sharing, I just did 8 jars of kidney beans; they turned out just beautiful and tomorrow will be doing pinto beans. God Bless you and thanks again.
I’ve only ever canned sweet things (pie filling, fruits, berries, jellies) but you’ve got me wanting to can chicken, beans and everything in between!
I remember seeing your video for the chicken (before the drama) and I told my husband “I’ve only just found her channel but I really trust this woman and her experience!”
Continue to let His light shine through you, you’re helping so many to be self sufficient and less wasteful.
Would love a bean and bacon soup recipe! I water bath everything!
The world needs more of you! Love your channel and God Bless You!
Thanks for helping people understand..if people would educate themselves that people ALL OVER THE WORLD water-bath(with knowledge is the key)with that knowledge people have done this for centuries
I love that you are teaching this method of canning and I like how you are now calling it 'original canning' instead of 'rebel' bc that's more true to what it is in my opinion also. I watched my mom pressure can many things growing up (and it kinda intimidates me today) but I also watched my grandmother use nothing but a water bath for everything she canned, so this is almost a relief to learn. I've known how to waterbath for years. I was actually taught over a woodburning stove and was even taught how to wax seal it- a local, pre-1880's farm (part of our local park system) taught me. Thank you for taking the time to share the knowledge you were given.
I have been using jars from the 1910 through the present day. Even pickle jars and their lids. I am close to being 80 yo. My pressure canner is a gift from my husband aunt and weighs a ton but is very heavy. I canned pasta sauce, onions and bacon for my beans. My husband keeps saying there is very little space in our freezers. I am glad to see you can dried beans by water bath . I also watch Homestad Heart. Joyful heart always makes you smile. Those two have huge joyful heart s. From Texas USA
When I canned beans several weeks ago, I rinsed my beans in Cold water and the skin all wrinkled, too. So, I did a little Qwik test and opened another bag of beans, but this time I rinsed them in hot water and the skin stayed in tact. But it was a test ...
I do wash all my beans before canning, but in doing so the beans do swell. I have done tests on 1/2 cup dried, rinsed and then re-measured. Depends on the bean, but 1/2 cup rinsed will end up being less beans in the can, so if 1/2 cup comes out as 2/3 after rinsing, I use 2/3 cup in the jar.
Reusing jar lids is something I 100% do! I'm in the UK, and canning jars aren't a big thing here, so finding lids and rings ...well, I never have. I just reuse jars and their lids. I don't do a ton of food preservation, but I know from my mom and her mom, who learned from my great grandmother, that the key is to check your lids for and dents, rust, or missing/damaged seal and simply check the jar has properly sealed afterwards (which you'll do anyways)! If it hasn't, that lid can go into the recycling and you can use that jar for dinner this week. If it seals, what's the issue? Why only use a lid once when they can be used several times before failing (ftr, I've never had a seal fail, probably because I do check them before use).
I only waterbath. I watch people from other countries and they all waterbath.
The jars you put the pickle lids on will take a standard lid, I have done a lot of canning with them. They are the Classico spaghetti sauce jars. Try it and see, if they don’t maybe they aren’t Classico sauce jars. ❤
"STAY SAFE. YOUR KITCHEN. YOUR RULES." I love that. ⚘ And it epitomizes the attitude of SO many of us out here who love your channel. Thank you.
I love the shout out to Rachel at That 1870's Homestead. I have learned SOOO much from watching her!
Thought my virtigo was kicking in , then realized it was on your end. Lol I am going to try them in the water-bath. Have done them in my pressure canner already. But I need a new rubber gasket for mine.
Just found your channel I can canning since I was a child and I'm in my fifties now I love how you specify your kitchen your rules thank you for your time God bless
Hazel Atlas was a glass company located in Wheeling West Virginia and Washington Pennsylvania that was founded in the late 1800’s. They made lots of different types of glass including “Depression Glass” glass dinnerware pieces as well as the “Atlas” canning jar. The company was bought out by another company in the 1960’s and the Hazel Atlas name was no longer used.
Thank you for this! ❤️
I canned pinto's and navy beans for the first time. I let them soak overnight like I always do. I rinse the beans and put 1/2 cup per pint, bacon and salt. So yummy
Going to do some tomorrow in quarts. Pintos with ham. Did a whole turkey I got on sale from the holidays yesterday too. Canning is my passion ❤
Recommendation that you place a cloth on bottom of pot so your jars do not rattle or get a possible breakage...hint it is as old as the hills...
Well done my dear!!!!! Keep it up!
Wow!!! I pitched my navy beans that I PC because they were mush!! I'm SOLD!!!! I'm glad you are going forward with your videos. THANK YOU❤️ also I haven't put chicken broth in dry beans but I did in green beans. Oh my word!!! DELICIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I bet the beans tasted great. Might try it with carrots since I love the taste of carrots when I add them to my chicken soup. So good!
I have reused those lids for many years with no problem!
A #5 wash tub is what my grandmother used over an open fire to can everything she raised in her garden. I forget how many quarts would fit but it was a lot.
Is this your beautiful voice?! How lovely! The pantry, and the praise! Loving catching up on the videos in your channel, as I have just found you! God bless you, so thankful to have found this (His) channel! ❤ Thank you, sister!
You have helped me create food stability for my family and I have learned how to can meat, beans, veggies, soups, and many other things from you and I really appreciate you taking your time to teach people how to do this because it is a skill that I am now teaching my children.
I prefer to cook the beans with other items, the favorite here is "beaby weanies". Kidney beans with chopped beef franks, a tablespoon of brown sugar and tomato sauce. Because of the combo of items in it, I have pressure canned on the rocket stove. BUT, now I might try on the pit with water bath. A couple of things to note. Goya is a brand produced by Kelley Bean Co. that is a family run cooperative of growers and their beans are non gmo. They also produce for the Dollar Tree labled Brown's Best and Dollar General as Smart and Simple. Again, all strictly non gmo. Our tomato sauce is from our own tomatoes, an heirloom variety called Rutgers Tomato. Big enough to use as sandwich slicers yet not very seedy, very meaty, and make great fresh or canned sauce. And MIGardner has a who seed saver bit on tomato seeds as these are heirloom and will reproduce and once acclimated to your area and soil will just get better each season of repeat saved seeds.
For the last several years I have reused store jars. I have had great luck with them. I am on my 2nd season with some and they still sealed great. I will be trying this as soon as get more beans. Thanks for this video.
If you have a video with you reusing store jars, I'd be interested in seeing it.
I just start canning and I reused my spaghetti jars, they sealed great!!
Anymore, most food items all come in plastic because "they" say for shipping costs and weight. Very few things come in glass jars.
I think some of the store purchased pasta sauces have jars that are compatible with ball lids/rings. I use them for non-pressure canning items. Thanks for sharing this method. I think it's good to know this in the even I have to can over a wood fire, too. Better to know and not have to need it, than not know and need it.
I use them for pressure canning. The only issue I’ve had is the lids can be difficult to remove or even get the edge of a spoon or anything under to break the seal when ready to use.
Exactly! Feel the same way!
@@jenbear8652 At least they seal well! lol.
Exactly!! Where there is a will there is a way, that's how our grannie's survived and fed their families!!
Love your water bath videos, can you please do one on w/b dry rice if you haven't already. Thank you.
I reuse those lids all the time as long as they are not too ratty looking and still seal. I have found replacements on Ebay.
I use those tops when I can my beets always sealed my mom did that. Thanks for letting us know we can can like my mom did. Love from Virginia ❤️ ps. That 1870 Homestead lady is awesome
ATLAS JARS ARE 3 CUPS INSTEAD OF 2 CUPS. I get mine from buying Classico pasta sauces. It's almost like getting the jars for free. I love the size because quarts are too big for just two people but pints a little scant sometimes. I love the idea of being able to water bath dried beans. Thank you for researching it and sharing with us.
Awesome video!
Rachael is the reason I found your channel. Her video where she said she found her soul sister. I’m so glad you both got connected 😊
Yes me too! Rachel is the best and I've learned so much from her.
I reuse the jars and lids from BonMaman jam. My husband loves their marmalade and I don’t make it . I have never had a failure and have reused the jar twice so far.
I so appreciate the water bath canning! The potatoes were a page turner for me. Please keep them coming
Holy smoke I thought I was the only one that reuses those lids!!!! I figured that out when I was doing freezer jam at one time. They reseal once they're in the hot water. I do not keep the ones that are rusty but anything that looks great still I reuse. And besides those are the only ones that fit those taller Atlas jars!!! 💕💕💕
I’d love know how the water bathed beans tasted. To buy beans in cans is getting expensive and other things in them beside the beans. This is so cool! I have a lot of respect for someone who admits they don’t know something rather than winging it. You’ve got my vote!
Greetings from Oklahoma Granny! Love your posts most of all, plain talk is appreciated because I am a newly to this out of necessity!!!! I have jumped in big time, $$$$$$ working as hard as possible to get it done! Now questioning myself if my lids actually really sealed !!! I never heard any pops or anything as I expected! Please helps 😮😮 heard nothing from any ones videos about this …. Then I stared obsessing over the time!!!!! Did I do it long enough!!!!! Too long… thanks for talking about that sea level theory by the nice lady that obviously doesn’t like the “0ld “ Amish methods , and obviously has a PHD in math and sea level theories regarding waterbath canning!!!! Any reassurance for me ?
I have about dozen of those atlas jars that i saved from buying Classico pasta sauce ,and regular mouth lids and bands fit perfectly.I used them for water bath canning. love your videos, I am planing to do some garbanzo beans soon,we love humus and every time i go to buy some caned garbanzo beans price is up.
I have always saved any Classico pasta sauce and pizza sauce jars. I have not canned anything, but some blackberry/peach and blueberry jam this year. Still new at this at my senior age. LOL
FYI, I took a chance years ago to reuse the lids that come on them- they seal up great with pressure canning!
Yes Rachael of 1870s homestead..said she just found you recently and loves you!!
It's like the old saying. You can feed a man a day or teach him to fish. I would rather learn how to fish. Self-reliance it sets you free!! Learning how to grow and become sustainable on your own!! Completely enjoy learning and watching things grow then take it another step and be able to store it for those long winter nights! Especially those jams and jellies with a bowl of hot vegetable soup that you produced from your garden. There's nothing else like it even when you get it from the store! I really hate the way most vegetables and fruits taste out of the grocery store. But when getting it from your garden or anybody's garden and you know it's been grown without chemicals and pesticides. It's just so much better for you!
I use chicken broth or water with Better Than Bouillon when I can any of my vegetables. I love the flavor that it gives.I Love 1870’s Homestead. I thought it was so cool when Rachel gave you the shout out. She does reuse store bought jar and lids for canning, with success.
I love the information you give. I had been trying to save money to buy a pressure canner
I'm so glad I found your channel because now I believe you can water bath almost anything.
I use bone broth and a clove of garlic when canning my beans, the flavor and health benefits is wonderful.
I like the look of the water bath beans. The liquid is much clearer
I haven't canned beans with broth yet but I do cook them with broth. I canned green beans & carrots in broth and they are fantastic with it
That sounds good! Did you hot water bath can them and for how long? I'd like to try it!
Jars sealing is the best sound!!
I just yesterday canned 8 jars of sour kraut using reused store bought jars (pickles, peppers, pasta etc) and everyone sealed perfectly except 1. Realy happy I found this little trick, helps save some money!
I reuse my lid flats if the rubber seal is in good shape and I also reuse jars and lids from the grocery store. They've worked well for me.
Could you let us know how these beans did? I've done pressure canned dry beans and found them to be a little to firm for my taste.
This was a surprising way to can for me. We have a wood stove running all winter. I have always pressure canned veggies and meat. If I can get a rolling boil going on the wood stove......Awesome!
I am brand new to canning. I've only "canned" jelly one time. I put quotations because it technically wasn't even canned. My pot wasn't big enough and lots of other reasons. I just recently got a water bath canner and am working on stocking up on some jars, lids ect. I didn't know there was so many rules to canning. Seeing the ways some people have done it for so many years and the USDA way is very interesting. I like that you put the disclaimer too, because I'm new to canning and am trying to learn as much as possible. Sorry you got so much hate before. I think your videos are great.
Funny how it is called ''hate'' when you try to help people learn the safe way to do things. Do people new at canning really want to harm their children. Sometimes I wonder.... Isn't the safest way the best way when it concerns our children and elderly?
@@vivvoveo384 exactly, but that's why I ask, Why do you use the TH-cam, multimedia internet ect, because it has been shown harmful emissions from these can cause cancer & to date its much less tested, especially overtime than canning, & you don't need it to eat/live? You should live in fear for yourself and/or children more because cancers are on the increase, and you have more chance of dying of them than botulism. Although in a consideration if you're alive you have 100% chance of dying one day from something, for sure .
@@vivvoveo384 like the experimental shot that people gave their children? Why are you spamming this channel? Mind your own business. Most of us are adults and we don’t need fear mongers like you, you must work for the fda, how does it feel to help destroy society? That’s what you are helping accomplish.
I’m so thankful you are doing these videos. I am an experienced canner. And love learning “ new,,,, old “ ways. ♥️ May the Lord bless you! And I would choose wisdom and discernment over any higher education degree any day!!! And it seems to me you are beautiful on the inside as well as out!!! Thank you again. And please keep sharing . I also reuse lids from my store bought items. So far with great success.
The atlas jars that you have can be bought in the grocery store filled with classico spaghetti sauce. I use them all the time. Love your videos. Have always pressure canned but will be water bathing most things now
i use dry beans directly into pressure canned soups and it works great. add dried beans and cut veggies (carrot, onion, celery, spices) and stock and PC. Very fine video...keep up the good work
The water bath beans look like they may be cooked more than the pressure canned. And yes I like knowing more information for just in case I need to know.
your old jar is a speghetti sauce and alfredo sauce jar those can be bought at dollar general with sauce in them
I use those Classico jars - but I use the lids that come with them & they work great, I reuse them that is.
Me too!
I currently do not can tomato. I have been buying the Classic brand sauce. They use Atlas Mason jars. I save everyone I purchase. Buying the sauce at the moment offsets the price of new jars. Might sound crazy, but, we go through about 5 jars a week. Those almost free jars add up quick.
Hi there , Always a pleasure to visit. I love those jars too , I get them as a donation from my sister in law , the jars are from a spaghetti sauce they sell in grocery stores , I believe it is Classico Pasta sauce.. the jars fit the traditional canning lids also. Thank you for the bean lesson....
There's a brand of pasta sauce that is in those Atlas canning jars. Regular size mouth lids and rings fit them.. however, I've found that some recently purchased jars the lids and rings don't seem to fit any longer. Now that said I do know that some fellow "reuse the lids" canners will use a food grade/100% silicone to refresh that ring inside the jar lid.
The Atlas jars are what is Classico cream sauces... and have so many and will be using for pickling mostly because of the top being to small to use with any funnel other than liquid...asparagus and beets and dills do well in them unless canning coffee or lemon tea...
Thank you for continuing the water bath method. So many of us out here are interested! I have a question. Can you can vegetable beef soup in a water bath if the meat has already been cooked? I would love to can my leftover vegetable beef soup and not have it turn to mush. Just wondering. Thanks and keep it up. More are for you than against you.
I just water bathed beef stew, and it turned out wonderful, I made the stew, and processed for 3 hours. Same for chicken soup but I added the noodles/rice right before putting in jars, and it looks great, I haven't tasted it yet.
The German method for canning soup is on the Weck website, but German recipes make sure to peel all the root veggies first
Oh boy , oh boy .... guess who will be water bathing some beans this weekend?? Me !!
Thank you for what you do ...
And guess what , remember the recipe on the water bath potatoes? They are delicious..
Once again . Thank you ! God bless.
A few days ago I canned mango jam (open kettle) and reused a couple of olive jars and their lids because I ran out of the 10 oz canning jars I like to use for jam. They're still sealed nicely.
Jams and jelly do very well with waterbath :)
I'm so excited, I think I'm going to try this today! I spend so much money on canned beans, and I feel guilty when I know I can home make them cheaper and better, but the convenience factor keeps me coming back to them. But if just water bathed a bunch of jars, that would be so much better! Thank you!
The atlas jars you probably got classico spaghetti sauce in them and they're probably 20 oz jars.
I have a few old atlas quarts I got from my husband's grandmother. They still put the spaghetti sauce in them. I been buying the ragu small glass jars and reusing for tomato sauce using the lids that came with them and also for storing dry herbs.
I have the atlas jars as well. I don’t know much about them other than they’re pretty like you said. I was given a bunch of vintage jars and I love them all.
I use the old lids and jars from store bought pickles, etc. all the time. I get great results using them!
Your channel is new to me and I really enjoy you and your information even though I e been canning for years. I’m glad you kept the blooper lol, it’s all things that can happen.
Cheers from Canada !
When I do bean I do quarts that I add ham chunks and diced carrots to. I get the Goya Ham bullion and add 1 tsp of it to the quarts. I have not tried water bath, but I do pressure can for 90 minutes. I also soak my beans for the amount of time it takes me to chop the ham and carrots and sometimes onions in hot water before adding 1 full cup of beans to the jars.
I looked for a video of yours doing this very thing last week! I ended up processing my beans in the water bath canner for 3 hours. Came out great!
Same here!!! I collect interesting looking jars and I even have once of those square atlas jars!!!! It was from some fancy store bought Alfredo sauce that I picked up! I use it for everything! Lol
I’ve reused lids like on your atlas jars. Worked like a charm. But then I started doubting myself. I’m so glad to see you do it too ❤️
I have a few Atlas jars and they are so interesting!
Always proceed with caution and always keep in mind that not (yet) approved does not necessarily mean not safe.
