I watch dozens of Homesteaders and y'all and around 2 or 3 other homesteaders actually are canning. I don't understand homesteading, growing your meats, growing your vegetables and fruits and not preserving, canning your foods. That's one of the most important parts of homesteading is growing foods and preserving foods. You eat fresh foods as it comes in but preserve for the winter months. That's why I really enjoy watching y'all, y'all grow, y'all preserve foods for the winter, y'all prep for homestead living, y'all make it real. Keep those videos coming.
Mix 1 part pepper jelly, to 3 part apricot, peach, or orange jam, mix well and use it as basting sauce for grilling chicken or pork chop... Im so happy for yalls blessings, hard work; but oh so worth it. Stivers will eat well this winter. Blessings Yall
@Gemini Homestead: Ooohh that sounds yummy! I have a ton of peach jam that I just canned. All I have to do is make some pepper jelly. Thanks for the tip.
I like to preserve my own food too, but my husband sometimes complains about the space it takes up in the basement. He likes to eat it, but still made jokes that a quantumsingularity will develope and devour our house, if I cram any more jars on the shelves. I told him he is right and that he will need to add more storage room, since then he doesn't comment. Greetings from a rainy Vienna / Austria! 🇦🇹
I agree tomato sauce is the way to go, I made a pasta sauce last year that my husband hated the taste of, such a waste. learned my lesson, now i just can tomato sauce and then i can turn it into pasta sauce for a meal and if mess up then its only 1 batch.
I have used that book for years, and LOVE IT! It is my best friend too. I can and freeze for our winter store, and also have people in our community that get me to can for them, as they do not can anymore, or don't know how. I have one lady that I fill her winter root cellar each year. There is so much satisfaction in canning and freezing the produce from the farm. And when we open a can of green beans in the dead of winter, they taste like we just went out and picked them in the garden. Today is applesauce, apple pie jam, and muscadine jelly day. Blessings on all that you guys on doing. From our homestead to yours.
The green beans, green beans and potatoes, and the corn looks so GOOD! I'm going to can some bell peppers today! I never thought of doing that! Thanks!
Jen and Zach you did great preserving your harvest. Beautiful jars. Thank you for sharing. Have a Blessed Week **HUGS & PRAYERS** from Kelly and critters at Piney Haven Homestead.
Hi, I don't usually comment, but If you slice butternut squash in half lengthwise and scoop out seeds and put face down on a baking sheet in the oven, then you bake for about 40 min at 350 degrees, until the skin starts to get bubbly with brown spots you then take it out of the oven and scoop flesh into a bowl and you can then season to whatever taste you like and it takes out a lot of the work of peeling and cutting up the squash. I really like it that way and because they keep so well it makes them a lot easier to use.
Its thanks to you folks that I have discovered zuchinni! Never had it as a kid, my son and I bought one and made a quiche and OMG we loved it! Thanks Stivers for introducing us to a new yummy food!
This video popped up in my utube offerings almost 3 years after it was published (not the 2 utube says) and the title peaked my curiosity. My goodness your world has changed in a short period of time when you consider the changes!
Awesome job on the garden haul!! We do the very same here in Wisconsin. Our freezers are packed with so many veggies and we just butcher 2 pigs ourselves. First time we did pigs. We did 30 meat birds and my hubby deer hunts. Took in 2 lambs. Bought a quarter beef from a friend. The hens are giving us eggs so we really dont have to buy much at all. This is what it's all about. Proud of you guys for doing this. Pretty proud of yourselves too. Such a great feeling!!! Well done guys. Love ya! Have a great day!
Jenn shred your zuchini in portions that you use in your bread. Put it in small freezer bags and then when its not so hot you can bake it all winter. Easier than baking in the summer. Also the small bags take up less room in the freezer. I make it for Christmas to give as gifts. Good Job!
I adore zucchini bread, anything that has to do with zucchini. My first fall garden was a success thanks to you two. Thank you. Hey I suck the air out of my bags also, my husband thought I was nuts until he pulled out one of his bags out of the freezer that had lots of air and had to throw it away. I didn't say a word, but boy did I snicker! Love you all. God Bless. 😍😊💖
FYI...Before your first freeze...We use our green tomatoes for Salsa Verde...yummo...same recipe as salsa but green tomatoes instead of red...never had luck growing tomatillo ...LOL...Cara in Indiana
I love the fact that I could be your mama and I still learn from you! Your generation gives me hope!! I will be canning for the first time this year. I even bought a Presto pressure caner and I can't wait to use it for my salsa and squash! I got the Ball book too!
Have you thought about raising meat rabbits? They are amazing for helping to fill up your freezer and you know what goes into them. Healthier than chicken. We raise them and I've been amazed at how easy they have been to raise and how much meat we get each year from such a small space! Great job on all the canning and preserving!
Y'all have really worked hard to provide for your family, and it's a beautiful harvest! It's scary that the majority of people don't have even a weeks supply of food in their home, not even gallons of water let alone food. Stepping back and looking at food you've grown &/or preserved is just so humbling and puts it all in perspective. I like to have at least 6 months of staples, and my goal is to get that to 3 years. I'm not an end-world prepper, cause I don't want to be here when it gets that bad and as a believer I won't make it long in that situation anyways. I prep so my family is not in full panic mode when our lives are affected by economics, government, health, weather, etc. Even though we didn't get to have a garden this year, I still have food put up in various methods. The immediate area of improvement with food preservation that I want to focus on is canning meat instead of freezing it. An upright freezer full of meats makes me so nervous!
I’ve just subscribed to your channel today but I’ve been watching your videos for weeks. I thought I had done it already. Keep up the good work. I know canning. It’s hard work but worth it. ❤️
Great Video, thanks for sharing. Jen, I love how you are Homestead Proud, Housewife Proud, Mama Proud. Excellent job on all the canning, freezing, jams, etc..... I am still cutting herbs to hang dry and putting up produce from our garden. I paid ten bucks for a Bay tree 6 inches tall about 10 years ago and it is now a little over ten feet tall. I think of all the herbs I hang to dry I love a few branches from the Bay tree most. Winter Is Coming :)
Great haul you did. Fantastic! We canned squash this year again that's the way we do it cuz then I don't have to keep it in my freezer and being it gets cold here I have to keep my basement and we don't have really a seller so that's what works for us. We only have one refrigerator. One thing I noticed got I'm just asking all the years that my family canned and also but I have learned since I started canning many years ago is not to keep the rings on the jars after they're sealed. Not sure if you just had them on there for looks or what but it can give a false seal and so I know some of the other homesteading channels that has been the big thing they've been stressing to people as well. Your canned goods look so good and isn't it fun when it's something new grew yourself or at least you can yourself. I remember as a teenager we had a blended family of 8 and so the last one was born when I was 17 and it was my job to weed the garden and I just remember my brother was born in July we had this huge garden and all the canning that happened kid back then you didn't do the way people do now to block out leaves you just pulled the weeds by hand. I don't know if in your area keep your eye open my vacuum cylinder head broke and I found one through Facebook Marketplace for $15 and it came with several rolls of bags. So maybe that way you can find one. Keep having fun in all that you do God bless
Wow Guys great job & as I also can I know how much work has gone into all of yours- just fantastic. Love watching your channel as it always makes me smile. Cheers Denise - Australia
You guys are awesome. This is exactly the kind of vid I love to see. You have shared your planting, your tending, your harvests, your preserving and now your stores. Thank you for showing what your hard work has produced for your family. You make a great team! Have you ever tried Sweet Onion Jam? Absolutely delicious!
I pickled a bunch of jalapenos this year and poblanos last year. I eat them right out of the jar or on tacos, baked potatoes, cheeseburgers or scrambled eggs. Yum. Originally from VA and I say "cawn" (corn), dawg, doah(door), sirl(cereal)... tiah(tire). My husband says tie(tire) and he is from NC.
Yes, Yes, Yes , to the zucchini bread! I used your recipe and it was brilliant!. I am not such a fan of cinnamon so I changed out some of it and used ground ginger instead. I still used a touch of cinnamon but just enough to give the zucchini bread a little flavour. I also chopped up some crystallised ginger into small pieces and added to the batter just as I was pouring it into the loaf pans. I hope my family know they will be getting a care package for Christmas including the zucchini bread and an assortment of the jams and jellies I have been making all summer and fall. Thank you for your great channel and the inspiration to can and preserve my garden produce for winter enjoyment. I still have a ton of zucchini to use up so plan to make some zucchini marmalade within the next day or two. My butternuts are just about ripe and they are coming in to live on a wooden shelf in my mud room/tub room/ potting "shed" off my kitchen. I have so enjoyed this summer/fall with my new pressure canner and all the things I have learned to do up for winter. Thank you again for the help and inspiration. Take care and stay safe, Sandie from Ontario Canada.
This is so motivational to start canning. Ive never tried cowboy candy before and i feel like my fiance would love it. Thank you guys for sharing all of your amazing recipes.
Inspiring! And here is me proud of my 30 jars 😆 but the freezers are full at least. Next year I’ll do loads more canning for sure, thanks for sharing guys. X
Love this video. Awesome harvest. Really enjoyed your breakdown and quantities. Hopefully I will be better at gardening next spring. I will be following you from start to finish. This year was a failure. The heat kept me indoors most of the summer. I couldn’t keep up with watering. Next year we plan on having a pump drawing water from the river and putting it on a timer for early morning watering. I am 71 but love canning.
Your Beautiful Tin Wall shows up nice in this Video & that’s beautiful Tomato juice you’re so Smart Jen with all you do for your Family & Zack is great help ❤️❤️
@Pam Stout True!! But I don’t have any straws in the house. I just collected a plastic bag of wild edible seeds yesterday and I just sucked the air out of that bag with my mouth.
You guys are making me hangry. I saw your tomato juice and thought about stewed tomatoes...yum🤤...dill pickles...potatoes and green beans. I do green beans with onions and ham hock. Cowboy candy on hamburgers is...OMG..yaaassss! I seriously hope you are drying some of your chocolate mint for this winter... yum with hot cocoa. Thank you for sharing. 💗
Awesome video! All of my canning stuff is in storage until we leave Japan to move onto our homestead next year. Canning is sooooooo worth it and fulfilling ❤️😍😁!
All I can say is WOW!!!!!all your hard work paid off,I'm still looking for that one big tomato (lOl) maybe next year love you guys,maybe I can follow along with you next for growing season I'm still learning
Great harvesting . Jen wyatt has your smile you both smile with kind eyes not that Zach dont you both are nice people but I seen it in this video. Hello Rae Rae and Wyatt 🎈🎈🎈🎈
I had so many jalapeños too! I’ve made the jalapeño jelly a few years back and it’s so good in a baked ham. I’m going to be better prepared for the amount of cucumbers and tomatoes to can as I go. I grew the smaller variety of butternut and I love them because their perfect size for a single person. You had a tremendous harvest!! Congrats!!
This year was a big win for them! I'm in Indiana an still have them growing an producing large ones! 90 degree weather does wonders in the end of September.
Another great benefit of growing & canning your own food is eliminating molds from your foods. Currently in USA they are allowed a 5% damaged/molded food to be added to the larger batches that factory canning does. Which means the entire batch, hundreds if not thousands of cans, contains mold spores that get labeled & sold everywhere. Found this out a few months ago when we found my molds allergy's.
What a bountiful harvest y'all have! Great job canning! My garden didn't do well enough to can anything. I will try fall gardening here in FL. An try again next year. I will practice canning things soon. Can't wait to learn it all. Blessings
Just peeled my tomato chips off the trays of one of my dehydrators. Have to do the other one now. They're sooooooooobeautiful. I can rehydrate them or put them in my food processor to make tomato powder for thickening, to sprinkle on my baked mac n cheese or to make soup. Dried foods take up a lot less space.
For the Banana Peppers try Mississippi Roast, that is our favorite recipe to use them in and it’s so easy... you just add the peppers and ranch or powdered ranch to a roast in the crockpot or slow cooker... soo good!
I've planted my corn rows then planted beans later so as the corn is ripening the beans have climbed up the corn and the stock is now holds the vines. Just train the beans and they'll take over. :)
My experience doing that this year was a tangled mess. My corn was to close together and the corn wasnt tall enough for the green beans..I say good luck to you
One year my mother in law and I sat across from each other but couldn’t see each other because we had the table piled high with green beans to snap. We canned 96 quarts that year. Swore we wouldn’t plant them again. But we did. 😝😝😝

@@Inkdraft ,your welcome. You may have to dilute with water for a sauce basting for grill.

I see why it's still 95° there. It's the love and warmth of your family radiating to the outdoors. So sweet!
I always feel happier after spending time with the stivers

Love your goats 🐐🐐 WOW impressive. Haul. So proud ❤❤
Wow. Y’all have worked so hard!!! Now enjoy, enjoy, enjoy!!! Blessings from granny Pat. 💜🙏🏼💜
Very healthy, and saves a LOT on grocery budget!
The green beans, green beans and potatoes, and the corn looks so GOOD! I'm going to can some bell peppers today! I never thought of doing that! Thanks!
It was too cute watching Zac get tickled when Jen said 'homestead wife'!
Impressive haul y'all! Well done!!

Food preservation is just good common sense to me. That cast iron display looks awesome in the background. Truly. Thank you. 🌻
Thanks for sharing y'all from one hillbilly to another. You guys did great. Really liked the song at the beginning.
I bet he our house is a blast on football Sunday!!🤣🤣🤣 looks like your ready for winter. You guys have a ton preserved!
Great harvest.. Love you all's the beautiful smiles.
I catch myself smiling watching yall. So much so my face hurts sometime. Thank you for sharing your sweet life .💜☮💜

Nice winter stash. That cowboy candy is awesome.

Your family is a good inspiration .

Thank you so much 😊
Wow Guys great job & as I also can I know how much work has gone into all of yours- just fantastic.
Love watching your channel as it always makes me smile. Cheers Denise - Australia
It was our first time with the red Chinese noodle beans....ate every last one of them. Next year, growing more to put up. Love you guys!

Great job guys, you'll enjoy it all year🌶🌽🍍🍅🍞
Y’all are such an inspiration that was a very impressive video on preserving!
You guys did an awesome job of preserving your food! 🌸
Lol, y’all are so fun. Love all the canning info.
So awesome. I didnt get to garden this year I am so envious. 🌻🌻🌻🌻
I pickled a bunch of jalapenos this year and poblanos last year. I eat them right out of the jar or on tacos, baked potatoes, cheeseburgers or scrambled eggs. Yum. Originally from VA and I say "cawn" (corn), dawg, doah(door), sirl(cereal)... tiah(tire). My husband says tie(tire) and he is from NC.
I bought a vacuum sealer off Amazon for $40, great investment, and stores in a drawer. Amazing harvest! And great job preserving it! Love your vids!

Love this video. Awesome harvest. Really enjoyed your breakdown and quantities. Hopefully I will be better at gardening next spring. I will be following you from start to finish. This year was a failure. The heat kept me indoors most of the summer. I couldn’t keep up with watering. Next year we plan on having a pump drawing water from the river and putting it on a timer for early morning watering. I am 71 but love canning.
Unless u have grown and canned all these veggies u would never now the satisfaction and fulfillment u get frm it
Exactly!
Your family is so adorable. All Y'all's hard work has really paid off. You all have done a great job. What a blessing. God Bless Y'all.
Awesome bounty last year😃God is so good🙏
Your Beautiful Tin Wall shows up nice in this Video & that’s beautiful Tomato juice you’re so Smart Jen with all you do for your Family & Zack is great help ❤️❤️
One of the homesteaders showed how to bread ur zuchs and squash and freeze she used an air fryer to cook looked great
Love love love the music!!!!
My cousin used to put a straw in his freezer bags, partially seal, suck out the air and then seal.
I have a food vacuum machine, but this would be better than nothing
Hmm, will have to try that.
I still do it if I don't want to get my machine out.
@Pam Stout True!! But I don’t have any straws in the house. I just collected a plastic bag of wild edible seeds yesterday and I just sucked the air out of that bag with my mouth.
I do too!
You guys are making me hangry. I saw your tomato juice and thought about stewed tomatoes...yum🤤...dill pickles...potatoes and green beans. I do green beans with onions and ham hock. Cowboy candy on hamburgers is...OMG..yaaassss! I seriously hope you are drying some of your chocolate mint for this winter... yum with hot cocoa. Thank you for sharing. 💗
Awesome video! All of my canning stuff is in storage until we leave Japan to move onto our homestead next year. Canning is sooooooo worth it and fulfilling ❤️😍😁!
Awesome job on all the preserving.
Ya! Great haul!
I too make cowboy candy, mild, medium, hot. I see more than we eat! Haven't tried with pineapple, but will this year! Thanks!
Good morning kids. Sitting down with a cup of coffee and zucchini apple bread to watch you!! Xoxo
Canning is hard work but sooooo worth it! Great job guys!!!💗
All I can say is WOW!!!!!all your hard work paid off,I'm still looking for that one big tomato (lOl) maybe next year love you guys,maybe I can follow along with you next for growing season I'm still learning
WE LOVE YOU ALL STAY SAFE
Great harvesting . Jen wyatt has your smile you both smile with kind eyes not that Zach dont you both are nice people but I seen it in this video. Hello Rae Rae and Wyatt 🎈🎈🎈🎈
Awesome! Just got home from the grocery store. Got ingredients to make Cowboy Candy. My girls are looking forward to making some and canning it.
Good afternoon Jen and Zack. Love your garden and farm. Thank you so much for your canning tips.
I had so many jalapeños too! I’ve made the jalapeño jelly a few years back and it’s so good in a baked ham. I’m going to be better prepared for the amount of cucumbers and tomatoes to can as I go.

That corner looks so much brighter
Good job Ya'll! I never thought to can bell peppers! I will have to try that next year!
Zach I completely lost it when you were peeping over that book :D How I needed that laugh, thank you
These videos are so awesome. Educational, and I want to see the baby rabbits
I smiled through the whole video! You two are so cute together!
What a bountiful harvest y'all have! Great job canning! My garden didn't do well enough to can anything. I will try fall gardening here in FL. An try again next year. I will practice canning things soon. Can't wait to learn it all. Blessings
Love love that book
Love you guys always make make smile 😃
Just peeled my tomato chips off the trays of one of my dehydrators. Have to do the other one now. They're sooooooooobeautiful. I can rehydrate them or put them in my food processor to make tomato powder for thickening, to sprinkle on my baked mac n cheese or to make soup. Dried foods take up a lot less space.
Canned food is so beautiful! Of course it’s delicious, too!!
For the Banana Peppers try Mississippi Roast, that is our favorite recipe to use them in and it’s so easy... you just add the peppers and ranch or powdered ranch to a roast in the crockpot or slow cooker... soo good!
I've planted my corn rows then planted beans later so as the corn is ripening the beans have climbed up the corn and the stock is now holds the vines. Just train the beans and they'll take over. :)
My experience doing that this year was a tangled mess. My corn was to close together and the corn wasnt tall enough for the green beans..I say good luck to you
One year my mother in law and I sat across from each other but couldn’t see each other because we had the table piled high with green beans to snap. We canned 96 quarts that year. Swore we wouldn’t plant them again. But we did. 😝😝😝
