Amazing. I love that you are you and not trying impress people with cutesiness. I sometimes stop watching a recipe video and look for others bcuz I can't stand the constant whining and baby talk crap. Straight to the point. In other words, thank you so much for not being obnoxious. VERY HELPFUL VIDEO. THANK YOU.
Your videos have been a God sent blessing while going through many life changes & to me this is self care, feeding our bodies very nourishing foods in serving sizes that is better than even eating out & more affordable- I just moved & still haven't found everything & i just smile & think back to your videos of moving, it is hard work! My movers were shocked at the things i canned & your ears were probably ringing off the wall those days cause i told them of your channel- the sausage gravy & mac & chez & dragonheart juice were just a few that they wondered about🤭 Thank you beautiful one💙 Moving tip i learned too late, go to dollar tree & get a different color tape for each room to help find boxes-Meanwhile i sing somewhere over the boxes my stuff lies, i don't know where anything is so its always a suprise🤣
This is a fantastic idea. Living in Florida and iced tea or anything cold is welcome most of the year. I have a pineapple that needs to be cut now. I just got a bag of nectarines. Tonight I can! Thank you for this video.
I see strawberry lemonade concentrate in my future, and mango, kiwi, passion fruit, star fruit, oh and jackfruit too!! Living in Florida has its advantages!
@@FyreflyesFollies I’ve been trying different methods but have failed. First year I thought I could just freeze them while but it changed the structure. The second year I was able to squeeze and freeze ice cubes. This past year I made lemon powder but didn’t know lemon juice can’t not stand long periods of time juiced so I lost everything last year 😢
@@debbie0greer164 I have a video on canning orange juice. My understanding is that this is the same process for all citrus juices. I will ask in my group, and if not, I will definitely let you know.
@@FyreflyesFolliesI love the idea of these flavored lemonades. How did you come up with the amts of fruit puree to add vs sugar and lemon juice? Also, with a ½ pint concentrate, about what is the sweetness level for a ½ gal pitcher?
I use straight up lemon juice water and jelly or fruit preserves to sweeten it up. I was trying to find different ways of using some of the jam jelly and preserves that I have because I have way too much. Also found an awesome recipe here on TH-cam for lemon drop jelly that works great as a lemonade add in. I'd like to do it in lime next.
Do you have a recipe to make a concentrate out of lime juice? I have four bottle I got from sams and the bottles will not sit up straight so trying to figure out have to use this, appreciate suggestions. Thank you so much for all you do I really enjoy your recipes and they are just right for me.
Sweet! I don't think you included the WB time... Or I couldn't hear it over the exhaust fan. Can't believe the exhaust fan comes on because of steam... I would be finding a way to shut it off... Its got to have one. Thank you for the video... Cool ideas! 👍
Sorry, it is 15 minutes. That exhaust fan and I have been doing some battling. I have not yet figured out how to turn it off when it kicks on automatically. Landlord says it is a safety feature.
Hey if there's too much steam in the hallway my smoke alarm goes off!! I have been gone for 2 weeks because I was in the hospital on the cardiac intensive care unit and just got home yesterday . We knew nothing was wrong and now it seems that I would have died. But I'm doing OK. Never mix diabetes with uncontrolled blood sugar 30 years of heavy smoking and paying no attention to any of It. Women be careful! It's the men who have the slap Bang coronary and die in the mall and it's women who percolate through very quietly until that day comes when they are in heart failure. I pray for every woman who sees this. :) Meanwhile I have no living family anymore and no close friends.
I am testing a run of pit and peel peach brandy now. If it turns out I will post a video. I do make eggnog during the holidays, but have never tried canning it. I want to give mead a go, but have not done enough research to start yet... I do, however, make a killer watermelon watahuzzi that will knock your socks off :)
I don't see why not, but I might cook the pineapple juice down a bit to concentrate it before adding. best suggestion for determining how much - grab a cup of water and add a teaspoon of each juice then taste, keeping count as you go. when you get to where you like it, count how many teaspoons you used. There are 16 teaspoons in a cup, 16 cups in a gallon, so it makes the math easier. This is the way I do it.
honestly, until you open it or the seal fails. Mine never lasts on the shelf more than about a year because I only can about a year's worth at a time, but I have a friend who is using jars 3 years old right now that are just as good as the day she canned them.
@@FyreflyesFollies Thanks for that. I have been canning a good while now and know that well packed foods last a long time. I just wondered about these. Thanks for answering back. I appreciate some of the recipes you offer and have used them without any qualms. Thanks for your work.
This doesn't appear rebel to me. It's not a rebel recipe is it?? I would have to find some way to replace some of the sugar. Maybe I should start looking for low sugar canning recipe's ick!! If I want to stay alive I will do low sugar. :)
not everything I can is rebellious. I don't think this is a rebel process... and you could try erythritol, I find that it holds up well in canning. I use it in sugar free jams and jellies.
well, I have never had that happen with cheese sauce, but my first thought is that there were either bubbles hidden in the jars or the head space was off. (other things have done this to me, and it was one of the 2 problems listed, or I overtightened the rings). another issue could be that you need to let them cool a little longer in the canner before you take the lid off or remove them. As far as separation, that sometimes happens with cheese or dairy and you just need to give a gently shake or recombine it when you open it.

Wonderful!
Omgoodness. Thank you so much for all these wonderful videos. You really make it easy to follow. Many blessings 💐🙏
Glad you like them!
Love this
Thank you!
You can write on the lids with a permanent marker pen and it will stay great through processing ! No guessing 👏
You have some really GOOD videos on canning Thank-You
I appreciate that!
I see strawberry lemonade concentrate in my future, and mango, kiwi, passion fruit, star fruit, oh and jackfruit too!! Living in Florida has its advantages!
Sounds great! I am going to do some strawberry and some mango as well when I do more.
Love your videos! Thanks for all you do!
Glad you like them! Thank you so much for watching!!
Can't wait to try this!!!

So glad you did this vido!
Thank you for watching!!
My meter lemon tree will be ready in a few months! Thanks❤️
Wonderful! I wish I had a lemon tree... I would come up with all kinds of lemon goodness to put away.

@@FyreflyesFollies I will go and watch the video. All these years, I wasted my lemon juice but no more!! Ty❤️
I can’t wait to try this! I have peach purée and mango purée in the freezer!!
Hope you like it!
Gosh thank you. I forgot, I have orange puree in the freezer. Now I know exactly what I can do with it.
You can write with a sharpie marker before you put them in the canner. It doesn’t come off during processing
I use liquid chalk markers. Once it is dry it stays, and washes off so much easier than sharpie.

I do not because I do not drink limeades, but I would think it would be the same.
I made to lemonade concentrate today, turned out great. What markers do you label your jars with, my understanding is it washes off easy?
Well I stumbled across your channel and this video 6 cute little jars in the water bath! With June coming up its perfect for summer 5/27/22

Do you make any "old fashioned" drinks? Seen the wine making vis so far. How about ginger beer? Sassafras? Egg nog? Cider? Etc?

Can you squeeze lemons 🍋 and use them for the lemonaid??
Yes, you can. Or you can use bottled lemon juice (which is what I had on hand)
Do you think pineapple juice would work instead of puree? How would you adjust?
I don't see why not, but I might cook the pineapple juice down a bit to concentrate it before adding. best suggestion for determining how much - grab a cup of water and add a teaspoon of each juice then taste, keeping count as you go. when you get to where you like it, count how many teaspoons you used. There are 16 teaspoons in a cup, 16 cups in a gallon, so it makes the math easier. This is the way I do it.
16 tablespoons in a cup
Can you do this with a sugar substitute?
yes!!
Could you add strawberry or raspberry instead of the peach and pineapple?
absolutely. watermelon and kiwi are both really good too.
could you make flavored sweet tea concentrate?
Yes, you sure can! I just made plain sweet tea concentrate, but will be making more peach tea soon as well.
Someone may have already asked this, and if it's in the video I missed it (numerous times), but what is the projected shelf life of this concentrate?
honestly, until you open it or the seal fails. Mine never lasts on the shelf more than about a year because I only can about a year's worth at a time, but I have a friend who is using jars 3 years old right now that are just as good as the day she canned them.

Have you ever canned coffee concentrate?
So a quarter pint would make one quart?
yes, plus or minus according to how strong you want it to be.
How do you make the lemon juice. 😊
This time I used bottled lemon juice, but you can use fresh squeezed juice if you have it available to you
Also how do you do the peach and pineapple puree
I just pureed each in my blender with a little of the juice I had canned them in.
@@FyreflyesFollies what if you don't have fresh or home canned fruit
@@rubymattingly8533 you can use fruit from the store. Just puree it up and add it in (include the syrup/juice)
This doesn't appear rebel to me. It's not a rebel recipe is it?? I would have to find some way to replace some of the sugar. Maybe I should start looking for low sugar canning recipe's ick!! If I want to stay alive I will do low sugar. :)
