I just bought my very first Presto Pressure Canner today at Walmart!!! Many of your videos have inspired me!!!! I am a little intimidated by it but I'll just pull up one of your videos and I'm sure I will be just fine! Thank you for your informative and fun videos!!!
Oh my Rachel, once u added that zucchini I thought YEP, THIS COMING WEEK, I am going to make a big batch of chili sauce! I have all the things in my freezer to get outta there 🤗 What a lovely way to warm up the house!!
I always like how you keep it real. I'm do my canning, baking and cooking similar to you...thank you so much for your time and always showing us your ways of doing things.
I love that your so honest we always have a load of neglected veggies that we sort in winter! Madness in summer! I get to the point that if I see another tomato I’ll scream! Lol now I am craving them so bad!!
I agree. Reality is so much more refreshing in this type of video post. We can't do everything at the right time, so I'm delighted to see this honest post. 🙂
I love that you got to use the rendered fat melting away on the stove to grease your pan for the bread. I love everything about what you do! I just moved (September) onto two acres, and slowly over the winter (Mild here in East Texas) to build some raised garden beds. I can't wait to get my garden started and first time canning soon! So glad I found you here on TH-cam! Thank you!
So, what all did you put in your Chilli sauce? Tomatoes, zuchinni, looked like green beans too, but I guess I need to watch the video again, I'm tired as well, lol.
Where can I get your recipes. I love easy! With our Homestead business ramping up for spring and summer and canning getting ready to start, I'm looking for easy (as possible) ideas for tomatoes, zucchini, etc.. Having that list of recipes and ideas will make things so much easier when we are over loaded!
We don't post them anywhere, but in the description of our videos. We've talked about putting up a website to post things, but with both of us still working full time jobs on top of TH-cam we just don't have the time.
Great jobs done. I do have a question though, I just made some vanilla and the recipe said that I could start using it in about 8 weeks, you mentioned one year, should I wait to use it? Thank you
Do you not add lemon juice to your sauce or did I miss that step? I would think you would need that especially with all the zucchini in there to keep your acid level up. I’m fairly new to canning so want to make sure I’m doing it right Thanks. Love your channel
The only approved tomatoe and zucchini recipe and ratio can be found on the national center home food prservation page, just search zucchini and you will find the recipe (Tomatoes with Okra or Zucchini). Basically max amount of zuke is approx. 25% to 75% tomatoes. No more. And you need to follow their acidification instructions to be in a safe zone.
Why did you put water under your roaster pan? Everything I've read says not to do that, so curious your reasoning. Thank you! and....dang girl! That was a lot in one day!!!!
Rachel, sort of unrelated but I feel like you would know. I just moved to a place with an outdoor shed, but a very small kitchen. It makes more sense for me to store my canned goods in that storage. I live in an area that dips down to the low teens in the night. Would that be dangerous/risk breaking jars?
Tying a ribbon around your towel on the stove bar……GENIUS!!!!!!! Wow! So simple and pretty and functional. Thank you for the tip even though it wasn’t “officially” shared. 💜
Wait! What? water in the bottom of the roaster? Why? Oh dear! Have I been doing it wrong all these years? Am I suppose to for any cooking in the roaster?
That Amish Water Bath Canner is a BEAST!!! I never have seen one, I love it. Amazing Job today, you're a ROCKSTAR for sure, so nice to have Hubby sharing the load, Take Care and Love each other!
I agree she is so blessed to have a co partner who is a helper in all that she does…..and admire how he shows his love for her….always snuggling close or putting his arm around her…..
Rachael, remember the carrot rehydrated will NEED to be cooked before you feed it to the baby. Raw carrot will give them super gassy tummy. Just a helpful reminder 😊
I didn’t realize you needed to put water under the roasting pan in your roaster, I always am on the lookout for the type you have but they are hard to find.
I cook with carrot powder all the time...it's a staple in my kitchen .I make a brown rice and carrot casserole that's cheesey and beautifully colored.My hubby won't eat cooked carrots but he will eat them after they are powdered. Great in eggs ,soup, you will come up with so many uses you will wonder how you did without them.
oh my goodness. I saw you put water in the bottom of your roaster and I thought to myself surely someone else has asked why. I started reading all of the comments and found several ladies asking the same question. I kinda of chucked to myself - you might have to do a video on why you put water in your roaster. Thanks for the great tip. I ruined a whole batch of spagetti sauce last year because of burning it.
Oh my goodness Rachel! Again....I am up potting listening to u can....ur comment about not letting ur husband rely on another woman for his needs ......that cracked me up....I gotta listen to that again! Ur funny!!
Water under my roaster pan - does that prevent scorching or ?? Tell me why as it sounds important. I did my own lard - it is so nice to have on hand, sealed and ready to go! Thanks for great video, Rachel and Todd.
I love sow the land! So glad to see their products in other youtuber's content. So glad I found your channel and look forward to watching more of your videos.
I understand you may not see this, but my Mother dehydrated much of the vegetables that we grew. She would grind many of them. (making them into power) She Had an amazing way to use the vegi powder. She would mix the different veggie powders and add a bit of salt or a bit of pepper and dust it on everything. She would also put it in every meatloaf, ball, soup, stew, and salad we ate. She dusted it on peas before she dried them, that was a yummy snack. My Mom was good at not waisting things. I love her for it.
Hi Rachel. You are making me hungry for you food. That tomato puree is looking good. The brownies look delicious. Their are children who do not like eating veggies. But this is an awesome job to get kids to eat their veggies. Thank you for sharing your wonderful video. Take care. Maria. 😇😇😇😇😇😇😇😇❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍🥕🥕🍅🍅🍅🍅🥕🥕
Instead of grinding lard, you can chop it up roughly and once it's soft just take an immersion stick blender and buzz it into smaller pieces for faster rendering
Ive been canning pineapple zuchinni for last 4 years. I make my carrot cake with it, I use with orange glazes for pork loin, a dessert I make thats like ambrosia salad. Frankly anything that calls for canned pineapple.. Its my faux pinapple that I dont really miss the real pinapple.
I giggle because like you when our daughter calls I'm always doing something, she says do you ever just sit down? Lol I always fire back with did you have to become a Marine? Lol
I have a question about spaghetti sauce. If you buy the jars at the store the sauce is always oily. I’m not sure why, do you know? Is home canned spaghetti sauce oily? I don’t care for the oil because I have digestive issues and that store bought sauce gives me problems. If I make fresh sauce it’s not oily so wondering if you home canned sauce does it have an oil and what in it would make it oily?
Rachel, could you provide either a link or correct spelling of the cutting board craftsman's name, please? Agree that it looks like a good board and easy to hold on to .. thanks.
Yummy that smell in the winter is so awesome. I did mine a few weeks ago my spicy tomato sauce. I made some powdered carrots and haven't figured out just yet what to do with it so I'll be looking forward to your ideas. We are loving my mixed veggies powder.

You really need to publish a cookbook of all your amazing recipes
U are lucky to have a hubby that wants to help!! Woo hoo
Girl! You are amazing!❤
I love zucchini spirals instead of pasta. I make it just like noodles. I flash freeze in little nests then put them in ziplock bags.
I just bought my very first Presto Pressure Canner today at Walmart!!! Many of your videos have inspired me!!!! I am a little intimidated by it but I'll just pull up one of your videos and I'm sure I will be just fine! Thank you for your informative and fun videos!!!

Really enjoyed this video 😀
how do we care for wooden things such as cutting boards or spoons and spatulas?
I love that your so honest we always have a load of neglected veggies that we sort in winter! Madness in summer! I get to the point that if I see another tomato I’ll scream! Lol now I am craving them so bad!!

So, what all did you put in your Chilli sauce? Tomatoes, zuchinni, looked like green beans too, but I guess I need to watch the video again, I'm tired as well, lol.
It's exhausting doing that much in the kitchen in one day but it sure is satisfying. Nice work!

What is the difference between a roaster and a crock pot?
What do you use the chili sauce for? And did you put any spices in it or just the veggies?
You must be really tired after that day. Good job Rachel. You go girl!
I'm curious about puttlng the water in the bottom of the roaster - I've never heard of that and would love to know the reason! thanks!
I just joined a co-op a year ago for vanilla and get it so cheap that I have a collection.
Why do you put water in the bottom of your roaster? I never have and I never heard of anyone doing it until now. Is it safe? Just wondering...
Great jobs done. I do have a question though, I just made some vanilla and the recipe said that I could start using it in about 8 weeks, you mentioned one year, should I wait to use it? Thank you
What's the purpose of putting the water in the bottom of the roaster?
Wow what a busy day.
It just distributes heat more evenly and keeps the edges from scalding
@@1870s thank you, something new I know to do now
Do you not add lemon juice to your sauce or did I miss that step? I would think you would need that especially with all the zucchini in there to keep your acid level up. I’m fairly new to canning so want to make sure I’m doing it right Thanks. Love your channel

I was going to ask this too, so I hope someone answers. I wonder if it helps distribute heat evenly vs just around the sides??
Rachel, sort of unrelated but I feel like you would know. I just moved to a place with an outdoor shed, but a very small kitchen. It makes more sense for me to store my canned goods in that storage. I live in an area that dips down to the low teens in the night. Would that be dangerous/risk breaking jars?
Unheated they will likely freeze and possibly break.
Great job but all that dirt going into your drain.
You getting your leaf lard from your own pigs or where you getting it?
Yes our own pigs
Do you re-use your Zip-lock baggies?
As long as they are still good
Rachel
How many Zucchini plants do you usually grow to harvest your abundance ?
Linda from Ct
2 plants is more than enough for us
Wow
I would have never thought only 2 ., thank you
Linda from Ct
I think I better grow MORE zucchini. Thanks for letting us hang out with. Always enjoy your videos.
Please post the recipe for pineapple/zucchini bread. Sounds great 👍
I would love this recipe too!
Ditto!!!
Me too
Don’t want him relying on another woman for his zucchini bread needs!
😂😂😂 I laughed way harder then I should have !
Good job Rachel you got a lot accomplished! So nice that Todd came to help you when he heard his name. You make a good team

Helps to disperse the heat so you don't get "hot spots" and burning.
Lol I said the same thing! I never knew either!
Great tip. No wonder my spagetti sauce tasted liked it burned last year. Thanks for the info.
@@1870s When you are using it for long periods (24-36 hrs) do you need to add more water so it doesn't boil away?
I never thought of making zucchini bread with pineapple zucchini. I may have to try that with one of my jars next week.
You've accomplished so much in a day! Love how relaxed you are in the kitchen, not fussing about every detail, ready to experiment:)))

Yes, it's just so great to see in these days of hatred which have also affected other lives as well. So.good.to.see.love!
Thanks for letting us tag a long. I know how you feel, I have been in the kitchen all day making cottage cheese and caramel topping.
Love to watch your videos! Thank you for sharing your wisdom & knowledge for a mom who’s just starting to can.

I didn’t realize you needed to put water under the roasting pan in your roaster, I always am on the lookout for the type you have but they are hard to find.
I found one of mine at a church thrift store & a new one at Walmart.
I got mine at Runnings before Christmas on sale for $49

That zucchini tips is great!!!! How do you prevent it from mixing with other squashes?

Love the idea of throwing all the veges in the roaster and pureeing them. I am going to try this this summer.
Great job Rachel!! I'm ready to get back in the garden and kitchen if only the weather would cooperate!!
Oh my goodness Rachel! Again....I am up potting listening to u can....ur comment about not letting ur husband rely on another woman for his needs ......that cracked me up....I gotta listen to that again! Ur funny!!
Do your kids can?? Do they watch your videos? Do they ever help u can? Hope they appreciate all your knowledge as much as your viewers & fans
We haven't kids living at home.
I love your videos, Rachel. Please, please write a cookbook and/or a book on how you process and canning recipes. I'm begging you!
I'm tired just watching your video. lol Would it be possible to share your chocolate chocolate zucchini recipe?
So glad I found your videos as u Give heartfelt recipes Canning & so much information. Thank you from bottom of my heart & don’t stop. U r my Hero
I love watching you but I cringed hard when you said you can't rely on another woman to fill your husbands needs. Please tell me that was sarcasm!
Great tip about incorporating zucchini into so many things to help stretch them. I had no idea! Thank you.
Water under my roaster pan - does that prevent scorching or ?? Tell me why as it sounds important. I did my own lard - it is so nice to have on hand, sealed and ready to go! Thanks for great video, Rachel and Todd.
Yes, helps to disperse the heat and remove hot spots and burning

If you add zuquinni to your canning applesauce then can you water bath it or would u have to pressure can it since its a vegetable to be safe?
Rachel, I could watch you 24/7 !!! ♥️♥️
I've been trying to convince my husband to get another woman to tend to his needs so i can have a break... the poor guy has no game :(
Wait, what! You add water to the bottom of your roaster! I bought my used and no instructions, I had no idea.

Oh it works awesome ♥ here's a video on it th-cam.com/video/AS1SP8BS_ic/w-d-xo.html
Where did you get your net type thing that you hold your jar lids in? Just found your channel and I enjoy it.
I have a 30qt pot with a lid can I use that to can or does it have to be specific for canning?
Could you share the chocolate zucchini bread recipe please?
That zuchini bread looked delish. Can u share the recipe plz
Instead of grinding lard, you can chop it up roughly and once it's soft just take an immersion stick blender and buzz it into smaller pieces for faster rendering

I have those pyrex mixing bowls. Love them. My grandma had it before me.

Our home canned sauce isn't oily. No clue what they're putting in the store bought stuff to make it like that.
A little harder to fake somebody out with yellow crookneck ... 😂

I never knew to put water in roaster like that!! 😮
Thank you for answering
Wow Rachael you are a trooper! I am definitely going to can some pineapple zucchini if I get a good harvest.
Great vid thanks. I hope you reuse your zip lock bags.
Absolutely ♥
What temperature did you cook your tomatoes and how long did it take?
Green tomatoes apple pie
Enjoyed this video as I started some seeds. Thanks for the tip about zucchini. I made a note to try the mock pineapple.
My Momma used to use cracklings for crackling cornbread. So good.
Never heard of that
Chocolate chip zucchini bread is great
Do you have a video on canning the pineapple zucchini? Love the idea
Yes she has one out as I filled it

Where do u get the bees wax paper?
...green tomato pie ♥️
I learned the hard way to do first dirty wash of carrots etc in bucket not sink so dirt and little stones don't clog drain
curious if you wash and reuse the plastic bags?
Might be a silly question but why do you put water in the bottom of the roaster? I have never seen that.
Helps to distribute the heat, so you don't get "hot spots" and burning.
Way do you add water to the roaster and do you add water everytime you use it?
helps to distribute the heat better, so you don't get hot-spots
What is leaf lard?
You mentioned a Tomato soup recipe. I watch all the time but I don't remember ever seeing a Tomato soup recipe. Can you re-post?.
I don't think we filmed a video on that one, sorry.
That's OK. I did make some, I just don't love it.
