Laura 2 weeks ago "I won't burn myself out with canning this time. I won't can that much." Now: "LET'S CAN EVERYTHING!" :)
😂😂😂
I think she wants to this time and last time she felt obligated. Lol she seems to be thinking about all of the stuff that they miss in the winter and making sure they have an abundance this year.
I love it!!! 😁👏🥰
Many gardening and homesteading channels are really into canning. Especially if you grow a lot of veggies/fruit.
I think she is aware of trends on social media and producing content that people want. Sales of canning jars thru the roof since COVID.
hahaha I love canning so I am here for it
Please keep canning in your videos. It’s so nice to see how you use all of the produce from your gardens!! You guys work so hard to keep your gardens bountiful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion for gardening.
There is no more wholesome, happy way to start a day than w Laura, Aaron in the background, Benjamin, the Protector, and the Garden.
Amen! My dream life!
Prayer, then Laura.❤
I agree 💯%!! Love love love starting my morning with a cup of coffee, sitting outside on my back porch, and watching a new Garden Answer yt video. I'm surrounded by my flowers on the deck, and planting beds out in my small postage stamp sized back yard..... and get to dream of something bigger as I watch Laura and her family planting, canning, planning and everything else that's uplifting, wholesome and truly inspiring. Lovely family, lovely home, lovely gardens. Learning a lot as I do.
Laura, you could can every day of harvest season and I would watch it without complaint while I drink my morning coffee. Never think we'll be upset because "I've been doing a lot of canning lately".
Amen!!! 🪴🩷🪴
I love everything about this video. Your content quiets down all the ugly noise going on in this world. You’re growing more than beautiful plants- you’re growing beautiful, smart, caring children as well. Benjamin is a joy to watch- the way his face looks when his little mind is turning is just priceless
I totally agree with you . Well said.
I’ll miss little Benjamin when he starts school in the fall. 🏫 📚
Perfect comment!!
@@sharongauss9298It seems like he should have already started.
@Garden Answer, just to be of help, take your bands off the jars for storage. There’s a thing called “false seal”. The jar could unseal and reseal without you knowing and cause you & family to get sick. Also don’t stack your jars. Same reason. Love that your canning!!!! Keep going!!! ❤❤❤
Wow good to know
yeah, REALLY good to know. Makes total sense. Just went and checked that I took them off of all of my pickles. I thought I did but now I know I did ☺
What do you mean by " take the bands off" your jars ????
@@yvonnealexander3241 after your jars have sat for 24 hours, remove the bands and just leave the tightly sealed "flat" lid. I also gently rinse the outside of my jars and let them air dry. Label and store in single layer. Also, if processing multiple batches on same day, consider numbering your batches on the lid so if you find a bad jar later on you can pay close attention to the others in that batch.
@yvonnealexander3241 The rings that secure the lids.
I’m loving all these new style videos with the different ways to utilize bountiful harvests. You’re giving us all lots of inspiration. Fresh grape juice sounds so wonderful!
I love watching you can things. I didn’t know there was such a thing as the juicer thing you showed us, i’m very interested in it. I love going through your garden, I love seeing you plant, prune, and, etc. But the canning is just the icing on all that you show us the whole process from beginning to end from buying the plants, digging the whole fertilizing, planting, taking care of them, harvesting, then two canning. That’s really a treat for me.
Thank you for showing this steamer. I had no idea. I’ve been doing concords for 20 years in a stock pot and squeezing out the juice for jelly. You just made my life easier!
Many, many years ago I made grape butter 😊 Used a large grinder (within the canning array of tools), it used the whole grape skin and all. I remember them being dark purple (concord)? The consistency was exactly like apple butter, so, so delicious ❤
You will LOVE the steamer ,so worth it ,I have had mine about 25 years 🍇💜
@@pcrice-lr2dn I had no idea. Always did it the hard way. Just ordered one! Concords are almost ready and this time I’ll be better prepared and will work a lot less.
@@deborahbrame2384 I think I’ll try this. Thank you!
The steamer makes the kitchen super hot, I recommend doing it outside, for example, on a grill. I love it!
I love that you are adding a bit more kitchen activities to show how you use the bounty of your garden. ❤
Jonna Jinton uses that pot to make wild bilberry / European blueberry concentrate juice that she and her husband drink during the long northern Sweden winter.
If you’ve never watched her videos, do so! She’s an artist, and musician, and IMHO a forest fairy. Her husband is a silversmith that makes gorgeous jewelry. Her channel is just her name. ❤
I just went to Jonna's UTube channel and viewed her moving into her new house video. OMGosh!!! How beautiful, calming and peaceful. IF that video doesn't put you in a good mood for the day then nothing will. Truly magical and I subscribed right away. Thank you so much for mentioning Jonna and her channel. I'll be watching her from now. She and Laura are a dream team to view.
Love seeing how you are using the produce! Aaron needs to start making wine. Lol
I just love to hear Jonna chant. But that new little studio is wonderful
So perhaps 8 gallons of juice which could be drinking, fermented to wine, or fermented to vinegar in addition to making jelly. You may also dehydrate and make grape fruit leather? Then there are the table grapes which also could be used hand eating, and fruit leather and maybe more jelly? Who knows. All delicious! Also fruit leathers from your stone fruits would be a nice idea like fruit roll-ups for Benjamin but no added sweeteners or colors. Healthy! Benjamin is ever the good helper and seems to enjoy gardening and making his family home attractive! Well-done Mom, Dad and Grandparents and Aunties and Uncles!
Did not want to scroll down to find my original comment but here is a recipe for gummy bears.
Grape Juice Gummies by Soccermomblog
1 1/2 cups grape juice
3 Tablespoons honey
1 Tablespoon lemon juice
3 packets of knox gelatin, (= 3 tablespoons)
1 Combine all ingredients to a small saucepan over medium heat.
Bring to a boil, whisking constantly as the mixture heats, until the gelatin is completely dissolved. When it’s reached a rolling boil, remove pan from heat and allow to cool slightly.
2 Use a dropper to fill the silicone candy molds with the grape juice liquid. Alternatively, you can pour the mixture into a squeeze bottle and use that to fill the molds.
3 When the molds are filled, place them in the fridge on a sheet tray for 30 minutes to harden.
(can use agar gelatin to make vegan gummies)
Grape juice cocktails! 🍇🍹 🥂
You can also drain all the juice in a large pitcher, get the next batch of grapes going in the steamer, and then pour the juice from the pitcher into the jars. It reduces how many times you have to open the hose clamp down from 12 to 1.
We consider the jars of juice as concentrate.
To piggy back, IF you drain your first batch into a pitcher with the next batch you'd probably have enough for a full canned to water bath. And, you mention peaches....peach juice is just as good!💜💚💙💛😎
I love peach juice over ice in the summer. It's so good, I like it really cold over crushed ice. Yum!!
Wow, the grapes look so good! Ask Monica if she wants some grape leaves to make Greek dolmathas. Make wine with mom next!
I don’t think she has any vines of wine grapes.
Canning is so rewarding isn't it! It's marvelous watching you rediscover your enjoyment of it, and looking forward to your summer bounty when summer is just a memory.
There is nothing like your own canned grape juice! My mom and us girls bought a steamer and we just pass it from house to house as needed or we do a whole bunch in a day .😊
Laura... the blue on you is gorgeous! Brings out all your beauty ❤❤❤️
I worked in produce for 20 years and the more yellowing on the white grapes is the sugar content coming through the skin! The closer to brown they get the sweeter grape they will be! Just fyi hello from Mount Vernon Illinois zone 6a
The new pot is great! Kitchen tools are what make or break your love of cooking! I use a steamer for making tamales, I add marbles to the water, this is a good method to alarm you when the water is getting too low.
Thanks for that idea!
How satisfying being able to use your produce the way you want to. Jam, sauces, juice and then give the remains to the chickens. I GUESS You are now considered a homesteader
My family went in together and purchased a similar steaming as a birthday gift for me a few years back - it was a game changer for me in the fall with apples, plums, chokecherries and grapes!!
Laura your canning looks so good. Did you know your suppose to take the rings off the cans to store. That way when you store them you can find the ones that didn't seal. I have all my canning done again this year ready for winter eating.
Also the rings can be used on subsequent canning batches the same year! 😉
Thanks for that little tidbit. ❤
Laura finally shared her secret - the Lightsaber!! 🤣Love it! Thoroughly enjoy your videos. Thank you.
The color of that juice is beautiful
Wow, such a bountiful harvest of grapes. I am all in for the right tool, for the job. Benjamin picked out the perfect addition to garden!
That Benjamin is such a sweetie-pie!
Aweee my late grandmother would call me that…..🥺
@@ScottSellsSoCal Well sweetie-pie, I am a grandmother..consider it a little message from your own gran👵🏻❣
@@pomme800 🥰🥹
You Go Girl!!! You bring back such wonderful memories of when I was a young girl, and my Mom and Grandma would can everything in the gareden, plus berries, grapes, and apples. Thanks for bringing back the memories.
Love seeing Benjamin gardening with you.
I love the music when you and handsome Benjamin where planting I kept rewinding it. Lol he is soon cite. Can't believe how much he has grown. Day 1 follower
LOVING the canning, juice making, jam making videos!
Love that you’re preserving your harvest.
Thank you Laura, you make canning so easy! Benjamin looks so tall. Happy wishes to all of you.
When the weather gets warmer you could use the juice to make healthy popsicles for the kiddos. ♥️
Good morning, Laura ☕️ How fun making grape 🍇 juice! Benjamin is such a lovebug! Have a Blessed Day 😊🐈
I like the canning videos as well. It really doesn’t matter what you all do…..we will watch. 😊
I love the canning, juicing and wheat videos! Please continue doing them and let us know how bread flour turns out. It’s good to know where your food comes from. It wonderful to see you come out of your house and be able to feed your family with the fruits of your labor. Have these videos been popular? Will you continue them? I love your channel!
I am in awe at how much you do. How do you do it all? You should do a vlog style video of what a typical day is like for you. Love your videos. ❤
It's a cool 65-degree here in East Tennessee this morning. 😊 The good Lord has blessed me with a beautiful morning! I love watching you and hearing the excitement in your voice when the product you're canning turns out the way you want!😊 I am thrilled that your garden has provided you with food that you can enjoy in the winter months!!
I'm from East Tennessee as well. Nice to see someone else from our area on here.
Another East Tennessee watcher.
I am so inspired watching you and learning a lot about plants and gardening tricks. I have planted some grapes for the birds. Next year, the birds will not be happy when I buy the steamer! Thank you
For your hard work to support our passion.
Laura ,Can On !! I don't know about anyone else. i learn something New😊,😮 all time and enjoy it 🎉Thanks
This was such perfect timing as my mom and I are going to pick gallons of grapes tomorrow to make juice this weekend! Thank you for sharing your process… I hope it’s as easy for us as you made it look! 🤗
I never knew it was so easy to make your own grape juice. Thank you Laura for showing us the process and giving the link to the steamer.
For additional hack to make it even more fun, do it outside. Steamer can make the kitchen very hot and steamy 😅. I do it on the grill every summer. I love it! Greetings from Norway 🇳🇴!
Thank you Laura for sharing your canning content! Love seeing how the garden can be food and joy
oh my, the color of that grape juice.... GORGEOUS like a flower!!!! Super enjoyable + informative video ❣
Laura, I think it is ver informative to see the planting, care and canning. I seems like a full cycle to me. Please keep it up.
WOW Really Loved this Video The canning of the Grape Juice was Awesome loved the planting also you and your Son are so sweet together Love it Keeping making these great Videos we Love them LOL
Good morning! Canning is a part of gardening, and I, for one, love watching you do it and explaining the details as you go. 🙂 beautiful 🍇 by the way. Thank you for ALL the videos you do for us 🍓🫐🍏🍉🍋🫛🧅🌽🥕🍅🥦🍞🧄🍇🫑🌶
I see what you did there. All the things she’s growing and making. So sweet! Have a nice day! 🪴🩷🪴
I love watching you canned your produce..it gives me satisfaction that you can enjoy ur summer harvest thru the winter.
Laura you are awesome!!! I wish i had your energy and talent!!!! Love all your videos. Thank you!!!!
Yay ! More canning and harvesting. I Love it !❤❤❤😊😊
These last few videos have been my favorite!! Thank you!
I never see Concord grapes anymore. Not in Kansas used to all the time in the stores. But we make Concord grape pie. You skin the grapes set aside,put Pulp in the calendar to remove seeds,. Then we bring pulp and skins add 1+1/2 cu sugar 2TB Cornstarch 2 1/2qt pan .it is fantastic. Put lots of butter before putting on top crust . 2 crust ,bake 350 for 35-45 min or until bubbles thick out of Slits on top of the crest. Enjoy eating
Glad to see Jacob helping. I raised three sons and two of the three took to gardening.
I have rarely seen someone who is so multitalented.Ypur success is well deserved 🎉❤😊
Ohhh I KNOW that smell! My family grows Niagara’s (and concord, for Welch’s) on the Finger Lakes in NY. Just as harvest is meant to be, thank you for sharing with us!
I am loving these videos that have a little canning and a little planting. The grape juice was such a beautiful color.
Amazing and beautiful bunches of grapes. Your canning harvest is awesome! I love how excited you get! The color is beautiful!
Wow what a fun easy way to make grape juice, love it❤
I think the reason I love to watch your videos vs other ones is because you have such a different variety of things happening each day/week! I loved watching you harvest your grapes and making the juice! How do you keep the birds from eating all those beautiful grapes?? I remember my grandfather having grapes and they had to place a net over them for protection.
Love the new plants you have added to your landscape. Benjamin's pick is especially beautiful. I love the idea of making your own juice. What a way to use your grapes. If you decide to make grape jelly please let us see. I would love to know how it turns out. Thank you and have a blessed day everyone
I’m loving the preservation part of this channel. It’s like the wreath making, fairy gardens and craft projects: giving us ideas on why we grow what we do and how to use the harvest to the fullest. Amazing! Thanks, Laura!
Oh my goodness, you should wear that blue shirt every day! It makes your eyes pop! Beautiful grapes too!
I've been watching for 5 years and had no idea until this video that you were in the Mountain time zone!
So smart to can. You never know if another shutdown. Your set. The juice looks great.
Benjamin is such a sweet boy and a wonderful helper! It's crazy that I've been watching your channel daily since before he was even born. 😊❤
It looks like great harvest. You need to remove way more leaves from around where the grapes are. We had a massive grapevine of dark purple grapes. Once a week I would remove a wheelbarrow full of leaves off to let the sun shine onto the grape bunches. You can leave the leaves that are on the outer reaches. The reason to remove lots of leaves is to let the air get through to avoid any boytritis(fungas) and to help the sunshine improve the brix(sugar levels) in the grapes.😊
Laura, in the spring, you can harvest some of the tender fresh grape leaves and pickle and can them to use in making Greek dolmas (stuffed with rice and lamb). They are sooo good!
I loved it when Benjamin closed the back of the Gator "so the plants won't fall and break." Just want to hug him and his need to protect. Love these videos.
Watching you make jelly would be awesome. Also, hooray for new perennials!
In Michigan at my grandmother's house, we pick grapes and caned juice. As kids, we played in the grape fields for hours. Miss that snell of the grapes. Oh grape jelly yummy.
This is a whole new level of @GardenAnswer. 👏🏽 . Teaching or reminding us what to do with our harvest is like bringing the whole organic idea to a new level for our regular households. Thank you.
Please don’t burn yourself out canning this year cause I hope to watch you doing this for years to come! You have SO much produce that I hope you choose to can or freeze? I tried to grow grapes and it was a miserable failure. How do you get blemish free fruit without spraying or anything??? I had so many wasp it was awful. Your grapes are picture perfect and the juice process with the steamer was the best thing since sliced bread!!! Keep turning out videos Laura! I love them all!!! ❤️
Those grapes look amazing! I bet the juice is tasty. Love all the new planting.
You said you might filter the next batch of juice a little more; however, not filtering it offers more nutrients and fiber in your diet. It's like not filtering raw honey to get the best benefits from such a magnificent food. That being said, I didn't know there was a juice steamer extractor for fruits and vegetables. Thanks for showing us how you used it. I'm so inspired with your amazing gardening skills. Everything you plant - a flower or a tomato - turns out gorgeous. I planted more flowers closer together this past year and used the fertilizers you use. My garden was the best this year. I live in northern Nevada, so all the snow and extended cold last winter helped to give everything a good watering and chill period that they needed. Love all your videos.
Question #1: Do you have bee hives? It would be fun to watch you make honey - you have so many pollinators in your garden. 🐝
Question #2: Do you freeze dry anything? I'd love to see that.
Love, love, love your videos!!
Fascinating! I never knew how to make grape juice now I do. Loving this harvest series..
I’m so jealous. The dogs ate our grapes. 😢 I swear they have cast iron stomachs… silly dogs.
Love your blue shirt . . . 👍 And Benjamin has lost a tooth! Rich!💰
Wow I had no idea you could make juice with a steamer. Thank you for teaching us. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻this is for Benjamin,great selection of plants.❤
I am so happy they have grown so well!
I definitely am going to be picking up a juicer, it looks so much easier.
God bless and thank you always.❤🙏
I love watching the canning. It's a great way to get motivated :)
My husband bought me grape plants a couple of years ago. They took down my wire and staple trellis so we built a wooden one. I didn’t know how to make juice so I’m excited about this video. I’m always amazed at the health of your plants. The Japanese beetles did a number on mine.
Japanese beetle traps only WORK IF you submerge part of the bags over a big wide tote of soapy water. I did that 1 year....Seriously I saw no beetles for 5 years... (I must have cleaned out the neighborhood).
Dug a hole and tilted tub into it.
@@joanl2057 I am so interested in learning more about this process. I’ve not heard of this before!
HAHAHA!!! the light saber, LOVE IT
I use the steamer that’s been in my husbands family for generations so it’s not all shiny but has brought so much flavorful joy to our family. I use it mainly to juice fruits for jelly -chokecherries, crabapple, plums, and juneberry- yum! Enjoy this new tool for years and years to come. I hook the pincher closer to the spout and hang it on the handle so it doesn’t drip during processing.
Laura, I appreciate so much your canning videos this year. I don't know if I'll ever do any of that, I'm mostly a "city girl with a small garden" but... My grandmother and aunts used to talk of all the canning they did (they were farmers from Iowa and Oregon, Lakeview!) and I never got to experience it with them. Of course, they didn't have all the newer-fangled equipment and didn't even have air conditioning to enjoy while they were doing all the work, but your demonstrations are a real connection for me to them and to the caring, difficult work that they did to sustain their families through decades, including through the Depression in the 1930s. I recall canning time for them was also a time where they came together to help each other's households and to share family time. It was hard work, but they loved the traditions associated with it. I have done a lot of pickling this year: cucumbers, okra, banana peppers, and am working on so many of the great methods you've shown us. Great job on the grape juice!
Seeing how easy it was to make the grape juice makes me want to grow some grapes!
Laura and Aaron you have a beautiful life. I am so happy that you are sharing it with us all. I look forward to your videos everyday! Thank you 😊 You guys Rock!
I grew up making grape juice concentrate this way. It definitely was an all day event in our house! So many different varieties and flavors (more than you can get in the store). Yum! ☺️
Loving the canning videos 💖💖
Memories. ❤ My mom always canned grape juice (and everything else since there were five of us kids to feed😊). She was so excited when she and a neighbor were able to share the cost and purchase a steamer similar to yours. We would mix equal parts grape juice and water to drink. So delicious! And your pink juice is beautiful. I think I need some of those grapes.
We have two scuppernong and one muscadine grape vines, we made a trellis with cattle fence, so we harvest from underneath. Made it really easy to get eleven gallons to make into jelly and syrup.
Makes great wine also!
You can take a potato masher and squeeze all the juice out. I've been using one of these juicers for years and we juice elderberries and grapes every year! No filtering or processing. We run it hot out of the juicer and seal immediately and all the jars seal everytime! so much fun, what a wonderful investment.
Way to go Mateo! You definitely sent those grape vines to the right person. They look amazing, thank you for showing us the process Laura 😁
I love the harvest and canning videos! It’s great to see what you are doing with some of your homegrown produce :)
I don’t know if white grape juice does this, but purple grape juice will grow tartaric acid crystals in the bottom of the jar over time in storage. So, don’t be alarmed if you find crystals in the bottom of a jar, they are harmless, just strain them out. They are a great homeschool lesson!
PS I love how affirming you are of Benjamin. You always talk to him like his funny little kid ideas are gospel truth. That’s so kind and respectful!
❤👋 What an exciting adventure. Learning to make my own grape juice kinda never occurred to me except for learning to make wine. That’s an adventure I’m excited to try. 🥰soon.
Oh Benjamin, I love those Iris you chose...gorgeous
What a Beautiful grape harvest...your entire garden is a spectacular bounty of beauty !
