    That cherry vinegar looks so good. I have a use for even those spent pits for you, even after the vinegar. Dry them well and sew them into bags. Use like the rice bags for sore muscles. You warm the rice bags and/or the cherry pit bags in the microwave. My husband has arthritis and it is so soothing in the winter. Great for using up literally everything😃

    👍 Great idea for the pits with the vinegar! But even better than vinegar, try brandy, rum, or vodka .. some sugar or honey to taste, and 1 or 2 cloves and a few shards of cinnamon.
    .. Orrrr .. keep the pits in the cherries, but slice the cherries from pole to pole (like an olive); then pack them in an airtight jar; add the optional spices; fill the gaps with sugar; and then whatever gaps remain with brandy, rum, or vodka → you'll end up with pickled cherries that will last longer than your will-power, and which you can enjoy in a gazillion ways .. PLUS a delicious, divine, inky "liqueur" that you can sip in pure pleasure or experiment with in cocktails and desserts.

    I hear you Melissa. Dehydrating cherries is an amazing way to preserve and enjoy that fruit. Another fantastic way to preserve them is by making brandied cherries. This is an historic colonial method to store many fruits. The cherries were specifically preserved this way because brandied cherries are an historic colonial Christmas treat. Right up there with brandied sugar plums. The colonists knew their fruit preservation for sure.

    I buy my cherries with stems and I store them in a vacuum seal canister. I place a dry coffee filter inside the bottom canister and fill up all my cherries then apply another coffee filter to absorb moisture. Then I attach my hose and vacuum seal it. It last fresh in the refrigerator for weeks! I vacuum seal everything. Even all my dehydrated dry goods in jars with a dry coffee filter. I have the same jar pitter.

    Dadgum! I just last month processed my first harvest of small tart cherries. I pitted them by hand (torture) and dried them in my car, lol. I keep wondering about whether they are dry enough so that tip is helpful as well as putting the pits to use. I threw mine away but next year will infuse my ACV with them for the nutritional benefits, as well as flavor, of tart cherries. Hmmm...beginning to wonder if I should buy your book.... :) Thank you!

    I once took a cup of commercial cherry pits and ground them up completely in a blender. I thought the blender was professional and invincible, and it wasn't. They tasted like a brown cake with cream. I suspect that the formulation of garden cherry species is different. Either that or the seed was somehow denatured into something else because of the blending force. I cracked open the pits of garden cherries with pliers, and the seeds were unbearably bitter.
    Someone showed a trick where you cook stone fruit and then beat them with a hand mixer to rip off the remainder of flesh. It is mainly for plums.

      Try this. Mix your infusion this way. 1 part infused vodka, 1 part water, 1/2 part sugar. Warm the water to melt the sugar and stir until fully dissolved to make a simple syrup. Then pour that into your infused vodka. Chill in the fridge for several hours. Serve in a prefrozen glass. Add a couple of ice cubes. Heavenly. And much less stout than straight vodka! Lol. This is called a cordial.

    HELP ME! I see how knowledgeable you are about canning and I canned green beans for the first time in the pressure cooker. Followed all instructions. 1 quart and 25min under 11lbs. When I got one can out, it was hot boiling and it seems like water gushed out of the jar. Then it stopped when I set it down on the towel.
    It sealed okay.
    Today I noticed that some of the other cans, the beans were not fully covered by water, maybe 2cm above the water level (I packed them raw and they obviously absorbed water as they were cut). But I wonder if this is okay.

    • @MelissaKNorris
      @MelissaKNorris  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      With pressure canning you need to do more than one jar at a time (most canners have a minimum to ensure proper pressure is achieved) but when it's reduced pressure naturally, you remove the lid and wait a full 10 minutes before removing the jars. That will help the siphoning you're referring too

    • @seekwisdom5102
      @seekwisdom5102 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      @@MelissaKNorris Sorry I was not more detailed. I had 7 quarts inside, but when I opened and removed the first one, water gushing. I then put this one in the towel over the counter and left the other 6 inside. I waited and removed them later and let it sit. A couple hours later I noticed that they are not all the way full, which looking at photos online, they seem to look like them. They are all sealed nice. The water level are okay, but now I wonder if the first one , because I saw the water coming out, I am afraid its not safe. The pressure did fluctuate, a few times I saw it at 15lbs and I lowered the temp and it went down to 11. it was never bellow. My question its that if these are okay to store. I have been so afraid of botulism. I canned dried beans before, many years ago, but never got them out of the canner this early. I needed the burner and thought it was a good idea to just get them out.

    I have been dehydrating a batch of cherries, 135degrees, so far 30 hours and still feeling sticky and look a little wet. Humm?

    My Ukrainian mother would take the cherry stems, dry them, and infuse vodka with them.

    We Croatian people roast the pits and stems to flavour liqueurs.

    After 62yrs, I just realized the stem factor. Smh. Last longer, fresher, sweeter.

    How long do you leave them in the vinegar and should I refrigerate it? Anyone know…Melissa doesn’t answer many questions here. 🙁

      At 9:24, she states that you leave them in the jar for a couple of weeks before straining out the pits. I have never refrigerated my vinegar of any flavor…

      I provided a link to the full written tutorial you can read or print out, with almost 400K subscribers here it's impossible for me to keep up with every question (it's why I provide written instructions with everything on my website and the link in the video description to it). I also stated it in the video, I don't know how to be more helpful than that

      @@MelissaKNorris don't pay attention to the trolls. If those 2 or 3 people want to unsub let them go. It's better than copious numbers of subscribers that specialize in complaining. Not a big channel? I can guarantee those people likely don't have 400,000 other people that pay attention to anything they're doing. You DO have a big channel and do some research people. Why respond to someone that could answer their own questions with a little bit of research. The lazy entitlement drives me crazy and when people act like you somehow owe them something right after they just finished watching the information you provided them at no cost to them. Jeesh! What a headache these people end up becoming. Let them go and have peace of mind. I'm so sorry they feel like criticism of your freely provided content deserves critique of that fashion. It's free! Some people complain just to hear themselves speak.

      You aren't exposed to it unless you literally crush them and consume a large amount, this is 100% safe

    More than 7 minutes on dehydrating cherries: less than 3 minutes on what to do with the pits. Hmmm...maybe the video title could reflect the content a bit more accurately.
